A very authoritative film, with a particularly strong director's thinking. Our memory tells us that the ghost is a white object with eyes, the movie made it real, the dead man stood up after a while wearing a sheet, and the flyer also had holes for eyes, so it became a ghost . The ghosts are scary and it's not that they really want to be scary, the ghosts are just too sad.
Another place where the director's thinking is strong is editing. Note that there are three "black screen" clips in the film. After each "black screen" is a huge change in time (or discontinuous time change), after the first time It was the sudden death of a person. After the second time, it was the heroine's subjective recollection of the deceased person. The third time was when the "ghost" went downstairs and saw people more than a hundred years ago. Because these time changes are not continuous and linear, so the "black screen" clip is used.
It is worth mentioning that after the first "black screen" editing, an aerial perspective was used. The camera panned in the direction of the fog, and then followed a person to the car where the person died. There was a hazy atmosphere. It's a long shot, and the lens is quite restrained.
All in all, it's a film with a full author's imagination. But there is something that doesn't feel right: when the "ghost" walks in the hospital, it first faces him and follows him backwards, and then takes a shot where he moves forward and the camera also moves forward. It feels that it does not follow the axis of motion, it feels This lens is more jumpy, I don't know why the lens is so connected.
