Today is your first day of the rest of your life
Many people think that "Ji" is very similar to "Terrorist Cruise", but in fact, both the core of the story and the content are more similar to "One Day" in South Korea. "One Day" is about love and redemption. The dead son will The day when the father kills and kills himself is repeated until the redemption of all is accomplished, making God's to God and Caesar's to Caesar. Of course, according to the ending of "Taboo", he may be paying tribute to "Groundhog Day"~
I haven't watched "Earth", but I have seen "Ji", "Fear" and "One", I think "Ji" is far superior, so I'm aiming at a kind of "future mood" in the process of watching the movie. When down to bottom, you can turn it out and heal it", I will give him five stars
Let's talk about the bug of this movie
The biggest bug is that the connection between the yin and yang lines around the birthday is very weak, which in turn leads to the question being far-fetched.
According to the title "Happy Death Day", it can be known that the heroine's birthday is a very important point. To complete the film core of "Death-Life-Death-Growth-Life" on this day
Let’s talk about the birthday first. Obviously, the deceased mother was saving her daughter. She kept repeating the day her daughter was killed until she succeeded in saving herself. Considering that there is a message in the text that the mother and daughter have the same birthday, so it may be The mother has a certain ability on her birthday and can save her daughter. It is very necessary to further highlight that the heroine died on her birthday. There is a causal relationship of death on the birthday, but the logical relationship used to express this cause and effect is very important. far-fetched
First of all, according to what the male protagonist said, "It is very important for the murderer to know that today is your birthday", and once again it is stated that the female protagonist must be killed on her birthday to strengthen the cause and effect, and then according to the following plots, we can know that there is a "birthday" The relationship between "birthday cake and poisoning" seems very reasonable, because birthday cake is only eaten on the birthday, but think about it, is cake a reasonable and necessary method of murder? This is the second bug
If the method of cake is used, the roommate is the only suspect. As long as the body is found, the roommate will not be able to escape. Since he can accept this suicidal method of murder, why do he have to use the method of cake and stab while he is sleeping? It's okay to stab her to death. I'm afraid that the blood will not be handled well, so I will poison it in the water. There are a thousand ways. The cake is not in line with common sense and does not make any preparations. After the cake method failed, the roommate still tried to kill her. The necessity of dying on your birthday makes no sense.
Some people may say that maybe it happened that the murderer escaped from prison on the heroine's birthday and entered the hospital, so he could be blamed, but the murderer's behavior is unpredictable, let alone how the roommate controlled the murderer to kill the heroine. …
Let me tell you what surprised me about this movie
The biggest surprise lies in the few but reasonable reversals, avoiding the mistakes often made in suspenseful horror reasoning movies
Small-cost and large-scale productions will commit multiple reversals in order to create atmosphere, but get the exact opposite effect, because too many reversals will lead to insufficient foreshadowing under the circumstance of limited play length, and then the rationality will decline, as if opening a god The perspective is as simple and rude as telling the audience that there is a reversal here. The audience is very passive in receiving this reversal, and no one likes the order.
Reversal is a very good narrative technique. It is so good that it can sublimate the entire movie at once. The one I like and admire the most is Ang Lee's "The Fantasy Drifting of Pi", with another version of the story in the last few minutes. , to elevate a film that was originally just a story of juvenile adventures into a classic work that explores human relations and culture, at least for me, it was the last few minutes that shocked me. In fact, Ang Lee is very suitable for giving a final blow when everyone thinks that the whole person is relaxed, so that the audience can never forget the whole story. This is reflected very thoroughly in "Brokeback Mountain". When I remember it now, I can express it silently: the world is very empty, the place where I live is empty, but I am not alone, because there are still things worth protecting.
The biggest move is the change of the heroine after each death and rebirth, so smooth and natural that she feels like me.
