In this society driven by money interests, we are all fighting for money and reputation, and even sacrificing ourselves and the things we love most, but isn't this what everyone in our society worships? I have to admit that money is indeed a tempting thing. It can make us strong, but we should not be its slaves. Once caught, it is difficult to escape. At that time, we may be really sick. First of all, this film made me feel very comfortable. Although the film is so lengthy, the soundtrack and tone are very good. Of course, the biggest highlight is the photography, which is very similar to the tourist scenery promotional film in Switzerland, of course, there is no derogatory meaning. The film mainly tells the story of the young executive played by "Little Green Devil" Dane DeHaan, who was assigned by the company to a spa in Switzerland to pick up the CEO of the company back to the headquarters to deal with the economic crisis, but when he arrived at the spa, he found that things were not so good. Simple, the story unfolds here. The narrative method of the film is a bit like Xiao Lizi's "Shutter Island" back then. Coincidentally, Dane DeHaan is a bit like Xiao Lizi when he was young, and the performance is also tense. I hope there will be more and better resources in the future. First of all, let’s talk about this mysterious spa located above Switzerland. The most in the human body is water, and the first life forms also appear in the water, so the root cause of the pain can also be solved through water, and the virus in the body can be eliminated through the hydrotherapy. Eliminate, thereby prolonging life and getting rid of pain. Because of this, it has attracted a large number of wealthy people to come here for treatment. Everyone usually chats, takes a sauna, and does sports. Coupled with the beautiful scenery, it seems to be a paradise for the elderly, but it is puzzling that the center has never No patient can be discharged. After the male protagonist came to the spa, he just wanted to take the boss back to the company as soon as possible, so as to avoid prison, but the boss did not want to leave, but behaved abnormally. I was ill and needed hydrotherapy for treatment. With the continuous deepening, some strange things slowly surfaced. Is the male protagonist really sick or is the spa really trying? In the first half, the director skillfully showed this relationship between good and evil, and at the same time threw a smoke bomb to the audience. Which side is decent? , which is the antagonist. With the continuous advancement of the film, the audience's position has also undergone subtle changes, and I can't help but wonder, is it really the male protagonist who is sick? Is everything he experienced really the hero's own hallucination? All of this is answered by a mysterious girl. The identity of the mysterious girl has not been explained by the director. It can be seen that she is not a patient, but has an unusual relationship with the dean and a delicate relationship with the male lead. The appearance of the male lead has brought a different feeling to the girl. It moved her heart, and it also made the girl have a sense of resistance. The second half of the film explains all the doubts. The dean was a local baron 100 years ago. He was burned at the stake for incest with his sister. During the punishment, the baron survived, but his face changed beyond recognition. At the same time, the relationship between the baron and his sister The child was also spared. The baron's child is a mysterious girl. The baron wants to continue his noble bloodline when the girl becomes a woman. To put it bluntly, the beast father and daughter incest, but in the end, with the assistance of the male protagonist , the Baron did not succeed, but the spa was engulfed by fire. So what exactly is this spa? It looks like a pharmaceutical factory, and the raw materials are those patients who come here for recuperation. They squeeze the essential oil by forcing the eel to get the life-saving antidote for longevity. The film ends with the male protagonist's wicked smile, but this smile has sparked different debates, whether the male protagonist has gained insight and is no longer driven by money, or is it completely blackened and took the baron's daughter to rebuild elsewhere. A spa can live forever, so maybe only the screenwriter knows what the ending will be.

  • Volmer: You're quite right - the water is toxic unless it's purified properly. That Baron's only problem was using unwilling subjects. We've come along way in the past two hundred years. Now, we have plenty of willing volunteers seeking to cure themselves of the ills of the world.
