The story starts from an American big beauty (female host) to work as a nanny in a remote manor in the UK. The manor is quaint and beautiful, standing alone in the deep forest, off the beaten track, basically only a grocery store owner (male owner) in the town regularly visits to deliver goods.
owner of the manor is an elderly couple. Under their guidance, the hostess met their youngest son Bragg, who needs to be taken care of. but! Why is Braggham a porcelain doll! ? What about the said little boy? The hostess laughed at Cry on the spot, but under the very serious and angry gaze of the old couple, the hostess couldn't laugh anymore. That's right, this porcelain doll is the beloved youngest son of the couple. That is the object she needs to take care of in the future.
Take care of a doll as meticulously as you would a real person? It's funny when you think about it, but it's even more funny when you do it. For the sake of the money, the heroine is also fighting, and the scene of trying to treat the doll as a real person is quite awkward. So the old couple can not wait to travel hand in hand after giving the heroine a super short induction training. Before leaving, the old lady looked sad and said in the ear of the hostess: I'm sorry. It is very meaningful. The old man simply made a list of care for the hostess. There are more than N things the hostess has to do for Brahms every day, and he must do it!
Now there are only the heroine and a weird doll in such a big house. Of course, it is gloomy, but the heroine is actually quite disapproving in her heart. As soon as the old couple left the front foot and the back foot, they threw the doll away and went to live their own lives.
Only the heroine and the doll are left alone in such a big house
Later, it was also unexpected that all the audience began to have spiritual events. The doll was like a real living person, all kinds of shocks. It is said that Brahms' porcelain dolls are really worthy of being superb.
The beautiful little Zhengtai
There can be no real ghosts in Chinese horror movies, so I started to wonder if the old couple were pretending to be ghosts. As a result, the camera turned around. Where did the old couple go on a trip, but they committed suicide. Seeing the two old people holding hands and throwing themselves into the lake, they felt unspeakable sadness. It is known that there is no real ghost in this film. I believe that many people, like me, have known before to guess whether the old couple pretended to be a ghost, so seeing this scene was shocked. This is also a foreshadowing of the film. Why did the old couple choose to commit suicide? Also, the old couple left a letter before leaving. What did the letter say?
frightened hostess began to suspect that if she is not crazy, she is really haunted. So I learned from the male protagonist who came regularly that Grams died in a fire when he was 9 years old, and the ceramic doll appeared the following year. The old couple regarded this doll made in the shape of Grams as his son. , Have lived together for 20 years. The subsequent development of the plot is the dramatic increase in the appearance rate of the male protagonist. The male protagonist is a standard warm man, and the lover and the female protagonist are beginning to have signs of warming up. But Grams seemed very upset, and triggered a series of supernatural events, and the hostess even fainted in the attic.
So who is it that pretends to be a fool? Is it the protagonist?
Since then, the heroine began to be cautious. She began to take care of Grams carefully and strictly abide by the rules on the list. The attitude of the heroine is very subtle, as if she really started to treat the ceramic dolls as living beings, and began to devote herself wholeheartedly. As if gradually establishing an emotional connection with the doll, there is also fear and doubt.
Like again, the doll is made to be vivid
It turns out that the reason why the hostess came to the UK was also a problem. Her ex-boyfriend in the United States abused her at home. Until the violence of her ex-boyfriend caused her to miscarry, she finally gave up on this man. She came to the UK to heal her injuries and to escape her ex-boyfriend's entanglement. However, the ex-boyfriend did not give up. From the phone calls of the hostess and friends, it can be known that he is constantly harassing her friends in order to find the hostess. I feel that even though the hostess has doubts and fears in her heart, she still has a little affection for Grams, perhaps because of empathy.
The heroine has undergone such a big change, and the hero is naturally puzzled and puzzled. Still looking for the heroine, in order to prove that she was not crazy, the heroine took the hero to witness the occurrence of the supernatural event. Huh? The man who pretends to be a ghost is not the male lead! This time things are even more confusing. In the conversation between the two, the topic once again touched on Grams's lifetime. The deeper things were turned out, the real Drums, in fact, was not as well-behaved and serene as the ceramic doll. He had a weird and lonely character and was suspected of cruelly killing a little girl who was his playmate. After this incident, a fire broke out and Grams was buried in the flames.
Male lead and female lead
In fact, at this point in the story, I really think it can be said to have surfaced. Yes, in fact, the real Grams is still alive. He has grown to 30 years old, as old as the male lead. And like a ghost in this mansion, all the supernatural events that happened were his hands and feet secretly. So there are only two mysteries that have actually been answered in various details, why the old couple want to replace their sons with dolls, and why they committed suicide, and finally I will analyze it slowly, or follow the plot first.
Finally, the plot reached its climax. The violent ex-boyfriend came to the door and threatened that the hostess must follow him back to the United States. At this time, the male lead also came to the female lead. Although the female lead promised that there would be no problem, he kept guarding in the car outside. This is the real warm man. The terrified heroine cat secretly begged Grams to help her get rid of the bad guy in the bed at night. So Grams responded to his ex-boyfriend with a dead mouse. Unexpectedly, this action angered the irritable ex-boyfriend. Sure enough, any guarantee of such a domestic violence man is not credible. He insisted that it was the heroine's work in order to drive him away. Seeing that they were about to wave their fists and feet, the sound of their dispute alarmed the hero. He hurried to the hero to save the United States, and saw the heroine holding Gramsci trembling. appearance. The ex-boyfriend became more and more furious. He felt that the hostess refused to return to the United States with him because of this weird ceramic doll, so he came up to snatch it. The hostess desperately guarded the doll as if she was protecting her child, but she still lost to the brute force of her ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend smashed the ceramic doll to pieces. The expression of the hostess at that moment was really distressing, and this scene must have made her relive the time when she lost her child again.
Later, the live-action version of Grams appeared on the stage, Emma, feel the grown-up wife. Strong, hairy, and baby-sounding, oh my god~~ tears rushing~~~~~
this. . . It is actually a ceramic face, which must be disfigured.
The ex-boyfriend liked to hear the dog brought, and then the host and the host were shocked. Oh my god, where did this big living man jump out? I don’t know if I was shocked at first sight. There is no heaven in this big villa~~~ There are various secret passages hidden inside, and Grams’s kennel-like room, the hostess is not only spied by all kinds of spies, there is also a simple rag doll wearing her mysteriously missing skirt on the bed, it is simply too dirty~~The hostess collapsed I have to faint~~~ The point is that the real Grams has lived in this place for more than 20 years, which is simply terrifying! Well, in fact, it is neither unexpected nor unexpected, I believe many people have guessed it. But the appearance of a real person is still shocking.
Grams, as the male protagonist said, is a total freak, paranoid, violent, and mentally insufficient. Needless to say the drama of the victory of justice over evil, both the male and female protagonists escaped from the devil's den and began a new life. The ending is very interesting. Grams is still alive. Now, he is the only one left. He has glued the ceramic doll to replace himself. From then on, he will die alone in this mansion, or wait. The next beautiful babysitter to come? This is the suspense left by the director.
Okay, the story is over, and a very clichéd American thriller suspense movie ends perfectly. But the film left us something to think about. At the end of the film, the suicide note left by the old couple is completely exposed. The letter says that they are leaving their beloved and their son can no longer take care of him, but they found a woman who can satisfy him, "Take good care of her, she is yours. "It turns out that finding a nanny is only a superficial article, and finding a wife for the strange son is the real goal. There is a big question here? Since the old couple can't let go of their son so much, why bother to seek death? Is there another woman who can live with Grams like that for a lifetime? Their plan is too weird, right?
In fact, this is the biggest tragedy in this drama, sad and hopeless.
Go back to the old couple in the movie. In terms of their own situation, the old couple can be regarded as winners in life. The two old people are born very well, a combination of a gentleman and a lady. It is estimated that there is also a famous family in that place. Rich, loving husband and wife. Judging from the age difference between the parents and the children in the portraits that have appeared many times in the movie, it can be inferred that such a son should have been born with difficulty. I can imagine how cherished it is, but Grams, who has an angelic face, is actually an abnormal child. This alone is enough to destroy all the good things mentioned above.
There are two details in the film. The real Grams is recorded in the photo album in the attic. Unlike the well-behaved and serene face of the ceramic doll, his face in the photo is gloomy and silent. Another point is the time when Grams killed female playmates as described by the male protagonist. The method is extremely bloody and the reason is unknown. Combined with the behavior of the adult version of Grams. The conclusion is that the child may be mentally insufficient + mentally abnormal. Once stimulated, they will become violent and brutal.
You can imagine how painful it was for the parents to raise such a child. Later, Grams killed someone and was burned by a fire before the police came to the door. Some people say that the fire was caused by the old couple? To protect his son? I feel that it is not fake to shield my son, but is it necessary to set a fire to disfigure my son? After thinking about it, there are only three possibilities. One is that this is just a coincidence, and the old couple also naturally said that their son was dead. Second, the fire was set by the old couple to protect their son, but they did not expect to burn their son. After all, Grams is not a normal person, and this kind of accident is quite possible. The third is that Grams, who was in an abnormal state, lit the fire himself. I think the latter two are quite possible. But in short, the old couple sheltered their son in this way.
Then the next question came up again. In the wilderness of their big house, only the male lead came to the door regularly and only for delivery. Are they going to provide secret protection for their son and live in the dark room? And also made a ceramic doll? In a small detail, the hero mentioned the doll that appeared in the second year after Grams' death. The following is my speculation: After being disfigured, Grams didn't want to appear in front of people, so his parents made secret passages and darkrooms for him, so that he could move freely in this mansion without showing up.
So what about ceramic dolls? My understanding is that this is a substitute for old couples seeking psychological comfort, and a perfect substitute for both the old couples themselves and Grams. For the old couple, how much do they hope that the real Grams is as nice and well-behaved as a doll? They projected love on the doll. For Grams, after the disfigurement, this may be what he expected. Secretly watching his parents doting on his double puppet meticulously, he also got satisfaction from it. This can be ascertained from his actions in the entire film and his madness after the doll was destroyed.
However, the dolls are only illusory sustenance after all. The old couple finally chooses to die. There may be two possibilities: 1 is that they are old and cannot overcome their inner despair in the end. 2 Grams' behavior became more and more weird and began to develop in a worse and worse direction, which became the last straw to crush the old couple.
