kindness and friendship ——————————— The
opposite
is the evil hidden under the surface of goodness ———— Killing others
Negative contradiction of negation
The value orientation of the play guides the story. Moving forward, first of all, the screenwriter shows the kindness of human nature and the beauty of the heroine, who is an elementary school teacher, has a noble profession, and has a boyfriend who loves her. Live a happy life. At this time, her value orientation is positive value.
She went on vacation with her boyfriend and came to Lake Eden.
After some routine foreshadowing, they came to Eden Lake, and met a child, the heroine approached him kindly, and further talked about her value orientation at this time being kindness.
Then I went to the beach and met a group of local gangsters.
At this time, the value orientation of the whole film has changed with bad intentions. Of course, these children and her boyfriend treated each other with bad intentions. provocation.
This has become the motivational plot of the movie, that is to say, in the motivation of this plot, the plot develops from calm to turbulent, and this rhythm accelerates with the rapid change of value orientation.
After that, the rhythm of the movie suddenly accelerated, and soon it came to the second plot point:
the gangsters stole the male protagonist's car keys and stole his car.
The male protagonist's adult appearance could not be concealed, and it became a Sissy madness. '
At this time, the value orientation has changed to a negative (contradiction), and both parties have expressed their desire to put the other to death. Of course, this is just an idea, and the last dog has become a poor victim.
Endless humans!
After that, the plot gradually entered the stereotype of horror films, chasing and being chased. Obviously, such a plot is too old-fashioned. If the director can work hard on this clip, I believe that the evaluation of this kind of film is far from a horror film. The combination of the previous value orientation and the plot is eye-catching, but The cliché chase scene seems to have fallen into the mundane.
At the end of the film, in the analysis of the director's return to value, the heroine accidentally killed the gangster boy, but the boy was not the main killer, and the boy showed compassion for life many times. Judging from his performance, he It seems that he wants to help the heroine escape.
The heroine here is far from self-defense, but is suspected of intentional homicide.
So the value here has changed to "the evil hidden under the good" . The
heroine killed the girl Peggy without thinking, which is even more evident.
That is to say, the heroine's evil, or the desire to kill, has always been hidden under her surface. When she is in a desperate situation, she is also the devil of hell.
In the end, the people in the town saved the heroine, and later killed the heroine.
It also reflects that the evil of human nature has always been hidden under its own goodness. Everyone will kill indiscriminately and regard life as nothing.
The pessimistic atmosphere pervaded and could not be dissipated for a long time.
Indeed, human nature is evil.
