Eternal loneliness (including spoilers, be careful)

This is a unique horror puppet show. Gree replied that she came to an isolated family to work as a nanny, but she did not expect that the child Brahms to take care of was not a real person, but a delicate and beautiful boy. Dolls. Of course this is a trap.

It turned out that more than 20 years ago, on the eighth birthday of Brahms, the girl friend was suddenly killed. In the movie, it was not clear who killed the little girl, but the villagers were all talking about Brahms. Killed the little girl, and was killed in a sudden fire. Brahms's parents regarded this puppet as Brahms alive, and everything went on as usual for more than 20 years. It feels weird just thinking about it.

Greta fell into the weird love of Brahms’s puppet, because she had a miscarriage, suffered from domestic violence and the pain of losing a child, she went from disdain to disbelief to shock to believe that the puppet is alive, to keeping promises to take care of it seriously. The puppet also surprised the audience. Everything looks beautiful. Brahms should be very happy. Greta takes care of him like his parents. He can foresee the near future. Maybe he can look true. Get a response from Gree's answer, until the appearance of the former scumbag of Gree's answer, everything beautiful may be ruined.

The scum man arrogantly wanted to take away the scumbag, who was convinced of the power of the puppet, so he asked the puppet for help. The puppet still used the skills that he used to use before, and wanted to scare away the scum boyfriend with blood and dead mice. I saw that the old couple basically lived a life of isolation, almost no one approached. The film mentioned that they changed a babysitter every year, and Gree said that he was afraid at the beginning. I said that everyone is afraid, so I infer this is He used his tactics to scare away strangers.

But Brahms didn't expect that this scumbag was actually the same as him, with a violent tendency, not close to the ghosts, otherwise the heroine would not see this man, so scared that he would not even dare to look up.

The scumbag actually smashed the doll. Here I think the audience and the heroine are equally shocked. As myself who also likes to make stories, I was surprised and admired that the screenwriter dared to write like this because of such important props and The role is ruined, which means that a huge plot turn has begun. How to turn it? Brahms was gone, and the surrounding walls vibrated fiercely. I waited for the power of the puppet to strike. The fire of hell came and burned the scumbag to death... As a result, I never expected However, a tall man with a mask came out and killed the scumbag at once.

Personally think this reversal seems to be a little too fast, making the audience's psychological adjustment a bit hasty, because most of the audience, before this, saw two-thirds of the movie, and they have been treating this as a supernatural movie. Of course, there is no shortage of thriller experts who can guess the plot. Anyway, after arriving here, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh" for a long time, it turns out that we are watching a crime-themed thriller.

The Griffin at the scene must be even more unbearable. She and her new boyfriend fled together. From the perspective of the heroine fleeing all the way, we realized that Brahms did not burn to death at all. The original fire just burned the boy. The child's face has been reclusive in the dark attic and wall ever since, living depressively and humblely in the wall, and finally turned into a monster. A body in his thirties, a mind at the age of eight, and all his emotions can only be expressed through this exquisite doll. Come to think of it, it may be that his parents were too great to spoil their children and did not want their children to go to jail, so they hid the disfigured Brahms in the old house, and eventually missed Brahms's ability to treat facial and psychological problems. The best opportunity, so that the body is getting stronger and stronger, and the psychological barrier is getting more and more serious.

There is no doubt that as he grows up, his parents are old and can no longer take care of him, and Brahms has psychological problems, but still longs for the caress and care of the opposite sex, so his parents carefully selected one for him. For a girl who was also injured by her scumbag boyfriend and even had a miscarriage, she was eager to be isolated from the world and escape from reality to heal.

In the end, Greta took advantage of Brahms’s love for her and hit him hard, and then fled with her new boyfriend. At this time, another reversal appeared. I found that many comments did not point out that it was the last trace of the hostess’s face. Smile, first happy, then triumphant, that is a kind of triumph after the conspiracy is successful, Gli Da used Brahms to solve the shadow and fear in her heart, the scumbag boyfriend completely solved, and then she took advantage of it again His own wisdom got rid of Brahms.

In a sense, Brahms is actually a victim. Suppose he really had to kill the little girl when he was 8 years old, and then set him on fire because of fear. If his parents sent Brahms to the relevant Institutions, maybe tragedy won’t happen. The film mentioned that Brahms used to change a nanny every year, maybe because those nanny didn’t like dolls, or he eventually discovered Brahms’ true face and was killed directly by him. Maybe Brahms didn't like them at all, so she just drove away at a glance, and then changed another one. What is the final outcome of these babysitters? The film does not give the final answer, there is no mountain of bones, no piles of dead bodies, it is not known. The only thing that proves the terrible legend of Brahms is that after the scumbag smashed the doll, he ran out violently, killed the scumbag, and then killed the handsome deliveryman. Therefore, his true face and his true life experience are not known to us. Only when he finally saw his painful raising of his head, the hideous disfigured forehead with a broken face was enough to prove the distortion and pain in his heart.

After watching it, I have to say that this is a very different kind of horror film. The director left blank everywhere to give the audience enough room for imagination. But if you look deeper, what is the most terrifying thing here? Satanic children? Abuse of violence? Strange puppet?

I think what I want to express in the movie is not Brahms’ violent tendencies, not the weirdness of the dolls, but the eternal loneliness of the human heart. Brahms’s loneliness for a lifetime, Grida was hurt by a scumbag. Later, he closed his feelings, and instead opened his heart to Brahms's doll. But in the end, no matter which one, this extreme loneliness leads to the distortion of people's psychology, and in the end, the good becomes a terrible tragedy and hideous ugliness. Just like the last scene, at the end of the

film, only Brahms is still wandering in the lonely mansion. Although the doll was repaired by Brahms who was lucky enough to survive, the original delicate face is already incomplete. Just like the real Brahms, his parents are no longer able to return. Even if the doll is repaired, it will still be beautiful. Maybe it was the last touch of beauty in Brahms's heart, but now it has completely followed Gerry replied and left. No one knows how Brahms will live her life in the future! And the weird smile on the hostess's face, is she not another Brahms.
