The film is based on the grievances and mutual suspicions between the two sisters who are deeply in love and the stepmother. The picture is a dark and lifeless mansion interpreting complex interpersonal relationships. When looking at this sister, I finally couldn't help but say: Your sister is dead. I admire the expressiveness of the actors, and actually made my sister indescribable under the sudden realization of the truth, and the horror and sadness were overwhelming.
In fact, I have experienced this kind of plot after watching "Cry on the Island" starring Nicole Kidman, but it still shocks me to see it like this. Through the flashbacks of the characters in the story, the most tender background is indeed so heavy. The grief of the dead to the living is irreversible. The grief of the living is stronger than the grief of the dead. I have to sigh the screenwriter's wisdom and tragedy. The essence of the interpretation of tragedy shuttles through the whole story, rendered into horror, rendered into rare warmth, rendered into unforgettable images. Thus, we see three sections of a person's split personality: Rose's strong and fearless, Honglian's cowardly and pitiful, and her stepmother's viciousness and viciousness. Therefore, the tragic meaning of elder sister Qianghua is far deeper than the wailing under her wardrobe before her younger sister Honglian died.
Horror is relative. The extravagance of the finely detailed patterns and the warmth of the younger daughter of the sister flower all show the originality of the creator in the word "beautiful". And this beauty and terror are so intertwined: suburban villas, dim aisles, wooden floors, antique furniture, etc., all find a focal point for terror and beauty. The terrifying ghosts and other scenes in this conflict add more exciting elements to the film. If the director makes a literary film like this, he can only follow the trend and disappear in the end, but the scenes with horror will be unforgettable for a long time. Watching a horror movie, all you see is the flood of horror imagery, it really doesn't feel very good. In fact, the truth and the incident are just an accident where a mother couldn't bear her husband not to love her, and her daughter was crushed to death under the closet because of her mother, but she saw another philosophy from the terrifying lens and reflected on her life. is a meaningful way.
So, there is a rare truth at the end of the film. Such a truth makes the living people feel unspeakable pain. Under the heart-warming picture, it is the happy smile of the sister who swims to the lake, but it is the pain of the sister who is pressed under the wardrobe. , such a contrast is doomed to future tragedies. In the middle of the night, when I was awake, I recalled the past, but Xiao Xiao’s bones were filled with sorrowful emotions and dark entanglements.
When we close our eyes, what's still in our minds is that pure sisterly affection. very deep. Conversely, the impact of family ethics on children is equally profound.
