"Master Key" is a movie I've always wanted to watch because it cracked the top 10 list of suspense movies. Every movie will have a place that tends to make people better, and of course, there are also parts that reveal the darkness of people's hearts. The screenwriter of "Midnight Bell in the United States" made the plot logically embedded in a gloomy and dilapidated house.
From the beginning to the middle, it has always been driven by the main line of suspense. From the unbelief of the protagonist to the beginning of shaking, more and more stories have moved towards a trap that has already been set. Just like in "The Chainsaw", all the setting organs have their own ways to crack, but the editing of human nature and the trend of selfish desires, the people in the play will always get the same fate. This story is very ingenious. When I mistakenly thought that the protagonist believed and then started to look for a solution, it turned out that the letter was the beginning of the tragedy.
The technique of the movie is not special, the dark environment and the usual wind and rain, and the inexplicable strange sound. Even if there is no mirror and the master key at the beginning, the door is open and revealed without any concealment, and it has laid a lot of foreshadowing for the road from the unknown to the known. Those details are enough to make people recall carefully after watching the whole film.
The story reminds me of an old fairy tale about Bluebeard. The disobedient wife took the key in her hand and opened the door that should not be opened. In the children's version, the wife is redeemed. The protagonist in the story has also been reborn, but it is another rebirth. exchange.
There is a sentence in the play that really stuck with me. "People always don't understand sacrifice, in fact, it's just exchange." Ancient people liked to sacrifice animals, food and even living people religiously. People use this to hope for health, wealth or more. This belief has continued to this day. It's just that the current way is not so extreme. However, people still use this exchange method to offer sacrifices and go to worship, hoping to get something else.
I don't know if this method is useful, but there must be some spiritual sustenance. A well-known theorem in physics is that "energy is neither created nor lost out of thin air, it can only be transformed from one form to another, or transferred from one object to another, in the process of transformation or transfer. During the process, the total amount of energy remains the same." At that time, I also discussed with my friends, that is, people will not really disappear after death. It is only possible to change from one form to another. Of course, how to control and regulate the transformation of this energy is another matter.
The ending of this movie is brilliant. Maybe it's because I've been obsessed with sudden twist endings lately. The person in the play gracefully picked up the cigarette on the ground and slowly revealed the fact that it had been replaced. Of course, good cannot overcome evil. This ending caught my eye. In fact, there is no absolute right and wrong, but they continue to use their way to transfer lifespan to survive. And the beliefs, sacrifice and redemption that he had always insisted on, disappeared in an instant.
Until the end of the story, I still ask myself, if I had a master key to all the rooms, would I obediently not open the last door. can you?
