mourning for misfortune, anger for indifference

"Fun Game American Edition", I haven't seen the original version, I guess I shouldn't watch it.

The breaking of the fourth wall is a bright spot, but unfortunately the first three walls collapsed, and the fourth wall could not be saved.

If the purpose of this movie is to mobilize the audience and make the audience angry, then the director has done a good job, so good that the main villain actor looks disgusting to me. For me, I was nervous in the first part, angry in the middle, and at the end, I already knew the result in general, but there was no emotional fluctuation.

If watching a movie not only gives you no fun, but also makes you angry, the most important thing is that you don’t get any insight after watching it, you don’t gain a little knowledge, you can’t improve yourself, and it doesn’t play a role in entertainment or learning. Two hours were unquestionably wasted, and this movie was unquestionably a bad movie in my opinion.

The last time I saw a similar movie was "Eden Lake", which was also abusive. I gave that movie five stars. Compared with "Fun Game", it was considered two extremes. In "Fun Game", the victim's awareness of survival is weak, which is one of the reasons why the murderer is free. No wit, no martial arts, basically obeying the murderer, or being silent. No resistance is the main reason for the anger of the audience, but this method is too low-end, like a comedy that pretends to be crazy and sells fools and makes the audience laugh ( farce). The child is weak, the hostess is powerless, and the hostess is paralyzed with a broken leg. Not to mention the home field advantage of being in my own home, is it unthinkable to ask to go to the toilet? Besides, the heroine cannot take it with her when she flees. a knife? The story of a plot-oriented thriller is broken, and it is useless to say anything. Even "Thriller Space" is many times better than this film. All kinds of mentally handicapped behaviors led me to finally think that this company is hopeless. There will be no more anger.

The trick of the remote control going backwards is great, but it basically shows that this is a movie that tricks the audience. It was tricked for two hours for no reason (as if the heroine was tricked at the beginning), what would you do? Do?
