I only blame this family love in the wrong way

*Involves spoilers in the whole story* *The first half is funny than the second half of the review. At the beginning of the movie, the logo of Huayi Brothers is very dramatic. It instantly made me think that I was still in China, and it was also when I heard the first line of dialogue. Subconsciously looking for Chinese subtitles (laughs. The female protagonist looks pretty pleasing to the eye, and was transported to a remote and desolate villa to take care of the children for the old couple. As soon as the hostess walked in, she took off her shoes and placed it at the door, but she couldn’t find one after she entered the house. People. When I walked to the children’s room on the second floor to play with the toys, someone suddenly came behind him. I was shocked and the toys in my hands dropped. It was an important foreshadowing, and it turned out that there was no use.) At this time, the male protagonist came out, led the introduction for the female protagonist, and also showed superb flirting skills. Then the hostess old lady finally came out, this is A British family looked down upon the hostess as an American, and mocked the hostess taking off her shoes. (The shoes are foreshadowing. The old lady asked the hostess about your shoes. The hostess went back to the door to find the shoes and found that they were missing. The old lady was a little bit She hurriedly said that her son must have been naughty and hid. It was so playful.) Then the old lady took the hostess to see the old man, the hostess. The old man was talking nervously to the doll sitting on the chair strangely. What was ordered. When the hostess came, the old man stopped talking. Then the couple introduced their son Brahms to the hostess. The hostess saw that the so-called child was a 1/2 giant baby bjd and couldn't help laughing. The expression you were teasing on me made the couple very embarrassed, and the old man was angry. The hostess found that these two people did not hire her to have fun, so they could only sort out their mood and pretend to be a doll. Brahms shook hands and greeted her. Then the old lady was finally satisfied with her training and inspection, and even said that Brahms recognized her. Before leaving, she gave the hostess a piece of paper with the rules for taking care of Brahms. Of course the hostess I didn't take it to heart, I didn't even look at it at the time. After the old couple left, she glanced at Brahms, and said disgustingly, "Look at your damn color!" She threw it on the chair at the door and covered it with a piece of rag Covered 233333333
Then the weird things started. The hostess enjoys a leisurely afternoon tea time for a while, reads a book and drinks some wine by herself. When passing by the doorway, the cloth covered by Brahms had fallen completely to the ground, and the hostess was shocked. (Actually, the heroine had lingering fears about this doll from the beginning, and kept saying it was creepy.) After that, the heroine became more vigorous and fell heavily on the rocking chair in the study. Sure enough, the hostess had a nightmare at night, dreaming that the little boy on the family portrait stretched out a hand to pinch her. After the hostess woke up, she went to see Brahms and found it was crying. The hostess was shocked. Observing carefully, it turned out that it was water dripping from the ceiling. The hostess couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that she was just worrying about it before. (At this time, the hostess saw the mechanism on the ceiling leading to the attic, and tried to pull it with a hook to no avail.)
The hostess and the male lead have a date at night, and they talk on the phone happily and choose skirts. During the conversation with his family, he saw Brahms sitting on the bed in the mirror again. He was upset and chose to ignore it. It can be seen that the heroine can't be completely relieved. Went to take a bath. The welfare is not enough, the figure is barely exposed, the legs are good, and a bath towel is wrapped for a long time. The camera was fascinating when taking a bath...According to my understanding, it feels that the hostess was too ecstatic when taking a bath, and the whole person was in a trance state. This may be related to the previous fright and the pressure of life (miscarriage, entanglement) Ex-husband or ex-boyfriend, I will say later) are related. While taking a shower, someone came in the bathroom (the real Brahms, explained later), took away the necklace and skirt, and also lost the hostess's hair. Only after the hostess took a bath, she realized that what a hindsight...At this time, she realized that there were other people or other things in the house. Walking out of the bathroom, I found that the attic staircase mechanism in the corridor was lowered. The heroine's courage was bursting, and she climbed up without any hesitation. The mechanism was closed as soon as he went up, and the hostess realized that it was not easy to go down. Coming too early is not as good as it is coincidence. The hero has come to pick her up for a date at this time. The female protagonist shouted for help from the attic and tried to knock on the window to no avail. How dare the male protagonist not play the card according to the script, naturally chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, knocked on the door twice and looked up and left (laughs. The hostess was disappointed.) It’s dark and scared in the attic, turning around as if seeing a ghost of a man scared the female bishop's textbook and fainted straight. 23333) As soon as I fainted and fell asleep, it was a night. When the sun rose, the hostess also woke up, with the bath towel on her body... At this time, the staircase mechanism was also opened, just like an rpg game, staying in the attic for a while New investigation missions can be opened later (laughs.
The hostess was worried and called the hostess and explained to him the reason for the missed appointment. The host told her about the family. It turned out that the couple's son died of a fire when he was eight years old. This is already more than 20 years ago. The female lead said to the male lead: Then if he is alive, he should be about the same age as you now. (The flag flies upright! When I saw this, I probably thought that either this person was alive or an uncle ghost...233) After the hero left, the supernatural events continued. This time the heroine was completely frightened. I believe that Brahms is the real one. The ghost of existence. After she locked the door, Brahms knocked gently, and the hostess cried and thought that Brahms was going to hurt her, only to find that Brahms had left. After the hostess calmed down, she opened the door and saw that there was a plate of food at the door. She couldn't help laughing with tears. She went into the Brahms room and waved in front of him, saying So you are real hum? Since then, the heroine's attitude towards Brahms has changed. She began to take care of Brahms according to the rules honestly. One detail is that when the phone rang, the hostess would pick it up first. Later, when the hostess was studying to Brahms, the phone rang. She thought about it for a while and continued to read it without going to the phone. Discussed with a friend that this paragraph is because the heroine believes that the Brahms undead really exists, so she pretends to be good to him and does what should be done on the rules to avoid annoying him. Because at the beginning, the old man also said to her before leaving: "If you are good to him, he will be good to you, if you are not good to him..." Later, the male protagonist came to look for him because the female protagonist did not answer his phone. Now, the heroine is still taking care of Brahms, holding the doll and shook her head quietly at the hero, and dare not say anything in front of Brahms. In fact, I don't want to implicate the male lead in. The host wanted to ask her out, but the hostess refused, meaning that it was important to look after Brahms. The hero had no choice but to leave. (The next paragraph is a bit puzzled. The female protagonist said a few words to the doll without being able to hear clearly, and then suddenly frightened it, the meaning is unknown. After that, the female protagonist threw the pear that had been cut for it, and found it when she came back Brahms is no longer in his seat and moved to another position.)
The hero later explained the story of Brahms for the heroine. According to the rumors of the people in the town, there are also true and false. (This paragraph is not very understandable, but I hope it will be added.) In addition to the photos of a family in the album that the hostess saw in the attic before, there is also a photo of Brahms with a little girl when she was a child. The hero said that in the words of the old man, a word to describe Brahms is ODD. (Discussed with friends is that Brahms was violent when he was young and killed the little girl in the photo. Family members are also very afraid of him.) The hostess told him that she had miscarried and experienced the pain of losing a child, so she could understand this family. People's grief can also take care of Brahms for them from their standpoint. After that, the heroine proved to the hero that Brahms would move on her own. After trying it twice and finally succeeded, the heroine was excited and hugged with the hero... ...The heroine is so forgiving, she deserves to be the protagonist) Then, according to the characteristics of the Americans... well... the bedroom flirt with love. The witty Brahms successfully prevented a possible population increase (laughs.
Eventually the heroine's ex-husband or ex-boyfriend (don't see it clearly) came to the door, and I hope that the heroine will go back with him and start a new life. The hostess certainly disagreed, but the ex-husband forcibly stayed here overnight. In the evening, the hostess hugged Brahms to sleep together, and said to it to help me. As a result, the heroine was awakened by the ex-husband's screams, and the Brahms beside her disappeared. He rushed over and found that his ex-husband had blood dripped from the dead mouse tied to the ceiling, and GET AWAY was written in blood on the window. Brahms was also sitting at the side of the room. The ex-husband was furious and scolded the hostess that you did it all, right? Do you still want to say that this puppet failed? Stop teasing me. Watch me smash this shit! Then the male lead waiting at the door rushed in when he heard the noise. The ex-husband saw that the male lead became even more angry and said that you must also have a leg! It was too late, and neither of them stopped, and the ex-husband's posture like throwing a shot put Brahms' head severely broken. Both the host and the host were frightened, and the house immediately shook. The lights turned on and off, a horrible atmosphere that a storm was about to come. (At this time I really thought it was the rhythm of the ghost coming out...otherwise how to control the TAT of this house boomshakalaka) Then the most deadly clip of this film is coming! Both the host and the host said that we really had to run away quickly, but the ex-husband refused to leave. He stared at the mirror and said that there was something or something here (Isn’t this nonsense, brother! Is this a horror movie at all? Sure enough, the mirror broke with a snap, and a bald Wu Ke got out of it! Ah no, it's a wretched and hairy live-action Brahms with a disgusting puppet mask on his face. After Brahms got out, he immediately killed his ex-husband, and then started chasing the male and female masters. While escaping, they passed by the real Brahms’ room. The hostess was surprised to find that her lost shoes, skirts, necklaces and cut hair were all made into cheap inflatable dolls by Brahms... her heart almost collapsed ( Laughter. In the end, the two were about to escape. The male bishop's book-like Lei Feng spirit decided to sacrifice herself to save the heroine. However, the heroine returned after escaping and fought Brahms to the death.
Heroine: I came back for you. Ah so touching. Brahms was taken aback, the hostess changed her tone and ordered him to go to bed in the same tone as she spoke to Brahms, which Brahms did. The hostess certainly didn't kiss him before going to bed, Brahms grabbed her and asked her to kiss her in a vague child tone, and the hostess endured it. When kissing, he took out the weapon hidden behind his back and stabbed him. Brahms failed to counterattack, and the heroine escaped smoothly and saved the hero. The final shot is the repaired doll Brahms, indicating that the real Brahms is not dead.

After the plot is basically reviewed, let’s talk about the analysis. First of all, I didn't have time to say that the old couple drowned and committed suicide after leaving the house. When leaving, the old lady whispered sorry to the hostess's ear, they could no longer bear the pressure and responsibility to take care of Brahms. As mentioned earlier, their son Brahms has violent tendencies, and even his biological parents admit that he is abnormal. After the fire, he did not die as rumored, but just disfigured. Since then, he wears a ceramic mask like a doll that symbolizes perfection and eternity, and his mind stays at the age of eight forever.
There is no doubt that the old couple is full of guilt for him. I don't quite understand the fire. However, when parents encounter this kind of incident with their children, no matter what the child is like, they definitely want to take care of him as much as possible. His parents love him, but this kind of love gradually becomes distorted, and in the end it is impossible to tell which is the real him. In the eyes of their parents, Brahms will always be the cute little boy who was eight years old. They know that Brahms can hear everything through the loudspeaker, and they choose to always express their unchanging love for Brahms through dolls, because they are afraid of Brahms, because He is special because the parents abandoned him in a sense. There is no doubt that this is wrong but nothing can be done. Is Brahms really satisfied? He didn't. A new babysitter can immediately take the place of his parents to take care of him. It can be seen that the emptiness in Brahms' heart is always there, and this emptiness can be filled by anyone, which is really cheap.
It can be seen that the characteristics of all Brahms described by the old couple should be those of the real Brahms. He likes classical music, he likes to listen to people reading poems aloud, he doesn't like to have trash piled up, and he needs a gentle kiss before going to bed. These are the characteristics of a child with a delicate, gentle and kind heart. But what about the existing real Brahms? The room is sloppy, the clothes are dirty, the hair is thick and unclean, and the words are slurred. Hiding in this house all the year round makes him look like a living human. The old couple also said that he was very shy. Wearing a mask and communicating with other people through dolls may be his greatest joy and relief. I think Brahms should not be bad in nature. Those quarrels and fights showed his amazing strength, perhaps the same uncontrollable strength as Hei and Shizuo Shima. He obediently helped the heroine want to drive away his ex-husband, and eventually killed him without hesitation, except that he did not take the initiative to kill the heroine. Because he needs her, or rather, he loves her. The self-made pillow in the bedroom is his greatest love symbol for the hostess. At first, in order to keep the heroine, he sometimes teased like a child, sometimes scared, and sometimes became a good boy. He is not pretending, he is really just a child, he just doesn't know how to communicate normally with other people. He loves to take care of everyone in him. He wants to stay. "Don't leave me alone." and those two hoarse "Kiss." The body is thirty years old, the heart is eight years old, unable to suppress the instinctive desire for love and sex, but can only retain oneself in the way of a child Beloved woman. How sentimental.
In the end, the old couple both drowned. The heroine took the hero and fled. No one will visit this sad place. Brahms was alone in the end. He repaired the doll silently, but the real world is like this doll. Once it is broken, there will be cracks no matter how to repair it, and there is no way to start again. The dead will not be resurrected, and those who have left will not come back. Is the lonely Brahms silently waiting for the next person to take care of him? We have no way of knowing.
