The difference in world view led to the tragedy of Sadako. In my opinion, Harry Potter and Sadako have many similarities: both have extraordinary talents and abilities beyond reality. However, because of the different worldviews set in the "Harry Potter" series and the "Midnight Bell" series, the life experiences and endings of Harry Potter and Sadako have gone to two extremes. ~ Digression: So it is a very scary thing that the three views are inconsistent.
This article only refers to the three plots of "Midnight Bell" in Japan, 1, 2, and 4.
When the domestic epidemic was the worst this year, I stayed at home and read "Resident Evil" again. At the beginning, I thought Resident Evil was scary, but I always felt that it was not unsolvable. "The Final Chapter" also confirmed my assumption that the virus in Resident Evil has an antidote. Of course, the answer given in the last episode of the biochemical series is a bad ending.
However, the Sadako virus in "Midnight Bell" is inexplicable, and this is what makes it extremely scary. The Sadako virus is super contagious and can be infected as long as you watch the videotape of Sadako's resentment. The most terrible thing is that it has the ability to hypnotize and confuse people, which can drive people to accept the infection. How did they come into contact with the Sadako virus resentment tape? Maybe curiosity killed meow, but I'm more inclined to be hypnotized. The same hypnosis appeared when Asakawa Reiko went to the hotel to consult the guests and glanced at the shelf behind the videotape, and then her attention was confused and focused on the resentment virus videotape. Everything is so natural, however, from this moment, Reiko Asakawa has fallen into the abyss of Sadako's resentment design.
The next plot develops step by step according to the design of Sadako's resentment. First, Yang Yi was hypnotized and watched the resentment video, and revealed some tragic experiences of Sadako during her lifetime, creating a false hope that rescuing Sadako can get rid of the curse , induce Reiko and Ryuji to rescue, and even create some illusions when they go down the well to let Reiko see Dr. Yi Xiong at the wellhead, so that Ryuji and Reiko believe that as long as Sadako is rescued, they can get rid of the curse, but in essence it is Release Sadako's seal. Even after Long Si died, he still confuses Reiko and makes Reiko think that she can get rid of the curse only by copying the video of resentment and showing it to others. So Reiko and her father in order to save Yoichi, Reiko copied the video to show his father. Both Reiko and her father thought that with the death of Reiko's father, all this would end; however, this was actually the beginning of Sadako's revenge after she got rid of her bondage.
Therefore, the horror of "Midnight Bell" is not the sensory stimulation of the plot screen of the movie, but the evolution of reasoning logic, revealing the trap of Sadako, which is psychologically terrifying. I was drowsy when I watched Sadako, and I was afraid to fall asleep after reading it.
"Midnight Bell" 2 is a sequel to 1. On the one hand, it tells the story of Reiko Asakawa's father who died mysteriously after watching the video, and Reiko Asakawa also felt that she was used as a criminal who released Sadako virus and escaped. Involved in the investigation to further uncover the secret of the Sadako virus; on the other hand, it tells the story of Mai Takano, in order to investigate the cause of Ryuji's death, step by step to discover the traps designed by Sadako, the horror of the Sadako virus is gradually revealed, and the truth is revealed. also getting closer. The Sadako virus continued to spread, people continued to be infected, and Reiko's colleagues were also involved in the whirlpool.
"Midnight's Bell" 4 is logically a continuation of 2, revealing the hazy and vague truth, and it is also a prequel to 1, telling the origin of Sadako's resentment virus.
The world view setting in "Midnight Bell" is a normal world, with no magic and no superpowers. The world view setting in "Harry potter" is a magical world. Little Harry's parents are magicians. Little Harry's super power is called magic. There is no external force that can make the glass in front of the python disappear. This is a talent that everyone in the magical world yearns for. So in the "Harry Potter" series, little Harry gathered the aura of the protagonist and reached the pinnacle of his life. Yamamura Sadako's mother has super powers. She enshrines a god statue in a cliff cave by the sea. She can predict volcanic eruptions. However, the world view set in the "Midnight Bell" series is a normal world view, so Sadako's mother's perspective was questioned as a low-level magic trick, and she was forced to jump into a volcano to commit suicide. Because of her super powers, Sadako can watch TV shows without plugging in the power cord. She is regarded as an alien and named as a demon. Even if the kind-hearted Sadako has never had the intention of harming others, she still cannot escape the tragic end of life. Doomsday ending.
There are two Sadako in "Midnight Bell" 4, and the two Sadako are actually split from one Sadako. Little Sadako didn't grow up, and was locked in a small iron house by Ixiong Heihachiro. But Xiao Zhenzi's mind can follow Da Zhenzi. Maybe Dr. Yi Xiong found the difference after Sadako split, locked up the naughty little Sadako who likes to do things wrong, and raised the kind Sadako into an adult. However, when Dr. Yi Xiong started, he did not know that although the body was divided into two, the thoughts of the two Sadakos were interlinked. It is easy to understand with Chinese thinking: this is called suppressing evil and promoting good. The education of minors is like this, guiding, establishing and cultivating a correct outlook on life and values. But all things are yin and yang, and evil and good are inherently one, and will not exist independently of each other. Therefore, Dr. Yi Xiong felt that as long as Xiao Zhenzi was locked away from the world and Da Zhenzi was allowed to live in the outside world, he could trap Xiao Zhenzi's evil, which would not work. Solitary yin does not give birth and only yang does not grow. Bringing up a person's good side and cultivating it alone, how could it be possible to trap the evil side to death. Therefore, there will be a collapse of the good side behind, and the actions of Sadako will be completely dominated by the evil side.
In fact, Sadako inherited her mother's super powers, and it wasn't bad at first. Humans are inherently good, after all, Dr. Yi Xiong has never been harmed. In the perspective experiment, Xiao Sadako may not mean to kill the person who rushed out to question, but it is just an instinct of the child when he sees someone intending to hurt his mother. When we say childlike speech, we mean that children cannot distinguish the importance of speech and act without measure. But Xiao Zhenzi is not an ordinary person. She has super powers that are more powerful than her mother, so Xiao Zhenzi might just have the idea of killing the person who questioned her mother, and that person really died. It was at this time that Sadako's mother and Yi Xiong discovered that Sadako had more powerful superpowers. And Sadako's mother, because the person who questioned died mysteriously, jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it, so she was driven crazy and could only commit suicide by jumping into the crater. Yi Xiong had to take Sadako and fled to the barren mountains and mountains to live in seclusion. After that, Sadako split into two, a naughty little Sadako was controlled by Yi Xiong and couldn't grow up, and was locked in a small iron room. Another kind-hearted little Sadako grew up, went to school and went to live in a big city to work in a drama troupe.
Da Sadako was too kind since she was a child, and never realized that she had superpowers. She just vaguely felt that someone was following her, and then some inexplicable things would happen. And Da Sadako was also deeply troubled, and also found a psychiatrist. After joining the troupe, many members of the troupe disliked Sadako because of her youthful beauty and coveted beauty by the head of Shigemori. Da Zhenzi was naturally resistant to the exclusion of others. However, although the two Sadako are physically separated, their consciousness is still connected. Xiao Zhenzi was restrained by drugs and did not grow up, her mind was not sound, and her life like a prison led to psychological distortions, and she was still in the stage of a child. Children have a strong revenge mentality, and out of revenge, the love child who hated Osadako the most in the troupe died mysteriously. Sadako subconsciously yearns for the role of the protagonist, although Sadako himself does not feel qualified, but the subconscious generation really hypnotizes Sadako Shigemori to give Sadako the role. Sadako's extraordinary promotion and Aiko's death made more people in the troupe hate Sadako and fear that Sadako will exclude Sadako.
Sadako has super powers and the ability to predict the future, so he can see the blood on Yuanshan's hands before Yuanshan accidentally kills Zhongsen; Sadako has a strong recovery ability, not only can restore others, but also restore himself. So Sadako covered the wound on Yuanshan's forehead after being injured, and subconsciously hoped to get better soon, so when Yuanshan arrived at the hospital, the wound had healed; after Sadako was beaten to death by everyone, Da Zhenzi's own subconscious must be Those who didn't want to be killed, with the blessing of Xiao Zhenzi's mind, the body was resurrected in the car. However, Sadako didn't know it herself, so she wanted to test her thoughts in the hospital and stroked the legs of the paralyzed old man, subconsciously hoping that the old man would stand up, and the old man could really stand up.
Sadako just wants to live a normal life, she doesn't want to be seen as an alien. However, when the reporter who questioned Sadako's mother died mysteriously, Miyaji has been investigating the cause of death. Gongdi only identified Sadako as the culprit who killed her husband back then. Gongdi thought that the current Sadako was a demon wearing a kind-hearted cloak, and she just wanted to tear off the disguise of Sadako's kindness. So Gong Ji deliberately took pictures of Sadako and instructed Etsuko to change the tape, all in order to reveal the true nature of Sadako's evil. Miyaji didn't know that Sadako had split into two, she was now facing a normal Sadako, a kind Sadako.
When Gongdi took everyone to kill Da Zhenzi, he continued to Chamudi to kill Xiao Zhenzi. Yi Xiong realized what happened, learned that Da Sadako's body was also transported, and knew that the split Sadako would be united again. In fact, after the resurrection, Da Sadako was desperate and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. This marks that Sadako's good side is on the verge of collapse. Sadako's good side is lost, and the evil side will lead Sadako to take revenge. Sure enough, Xiao Sadako disappeared from the small iron house, and took over Sadako's body and dominated Sadako's behavior. At this time, Sadako showed another super power: teleportation. Also out of revenge, Sadako killed everyone including Yuanshan. Yi Xiong rushed out of the house and shouted Sadako's name, just to wake up the kindness of Sadako and stop the killing.
Miyaji picks up the gun and tries to kill Sadako, but Sadako can hypnotize Miyaji to shoot Etsuko and commit suicide. Yi Xiong had to kill Sadako, Yi Xiong's own daughter. At that moment, Yi Xiong also struggled in his heart, but he still gave Sadako a poisonous injection. At this moment, Sadako's consciousness has been dominated by the good side, and this injection of poison has completely destroyed the good side that was on the verge of collapse.
Everything is driving Sadako to a dead end, hating this evil world. Hearing the replaced tape on the stage, Sadako thought that Yuanshan didn't believe that he betrayed him; what's more, he was injected with poison by his father Yi Xiong and was about to be hacked to death. It is impossible to imagine how desperate Sadako was at that moment. .
As I said before, Sadako has a strong self-healing ability. He can be resurrected after being beaten to death by the troupe, and he can be resurrected after being slashed by Yi Xiong with a poison needle and thrown into a well and sealed with a cover. When Sadako at the bottom of the well woke up, she found that the distant mountain in front of her was just a dream. Who could hear the hoarse cry? And Sadako lived at the bottom of the well for thirty years. How did Sadako live these thirty years?
Thirty years later, Sadako completely gave up the idea of living and died at the bottom of the well. And use the mind to leave a viral video tape of Sadako resentment with contagious power, and hypnotize the 4 high school students to watch the video tape. After watching the videotape, I used my mind to make a phone call and told the other party that I would die in 7 days. As expected, it was confirmed. This is also the beginning of the movie "Midnight Bell"...
Therefore, "Zhenxiang Dabai" is not a horror film in the strict sense, but essentially a mentally retarded little Sadako prank and a child's instinctive resistance. It's just that this little Sadako has super powers, so some inexplicable things happened in the process of mischief and resistance, and there were serious consequences. But it is in this film that Sadako's good side is completely destroyed, and there is the horror in "Midnight Bell" and "Sadako Haunted" after Da Sadako is completely blackened. After Xiao Zhenzi and Da Zhenzi merged into one, Zhenzi is no longer a child. She has a complete and sound mind and has strict logic. Such a person takes revenge on society and indiscriminately harms others, using super powers. . This is a bug-level existence. [Off-topic: In Suzuki Koji's original novel "The Seven Nights", scientists used a huge computer network to create a virtual circle according to the real world, and then let the circle evolve at a double speed to predict how the future of the real world will evolve. And Sadako is really a bug in the virtual world created by the computer. 】
Written at the end: In the "Midnight Bell" series, the performances of Nakatani Miki and Nakama Yukie can be regarded as superb.
