rose, red lotus

Kiley 2022-04-22 07:01:38

The saddest horror movie I've ever seen.

-------My

sister is playing with a plant with red flowers and fruits, with eyes like a deer.

greedily eat its fruit.

The sister smiled indulgently, she was wearing a red sweater with small white flowers on the edge.

The elder sister called out, "Red Lotus", and stretched out her hand.

The younger sister ran up happily and held it.

They laughed happily and ran to the river.

The background music played, it was a very gorgeous dance song. Gorgeous, but with a mellow and low sadness.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, they ran hand in hand, the iron gate, the bushes, and retreated beside them.

We hear their laughter, and that gorgeous, sad dance song.

Remember this melody, we will hear it again.

The elder sister is called "Rose Flower", and the younger sister is called "Red Lotus".

-------------

They sat by the river and put their feet in the river. We see their backs.

In the sun, Rose took her sister's hand, but saw their identical palm lines.

-------------

Back home, their stepmother was waiting for them, and they lost their mother.

The stepmother's beautiful face, short hair, curled ends.

Such a standard image of a late lady.

She has very light eyebrows, painted in color with an eyebrow pencil, and her eyebrows are very thin. It made her look fierce.

She spoke through gritted teeth, but she pretended to be kind and amiable.

Qianghua held Guren's hand tightly and looked at her stepmother with hostility.

She wants to protect her sister, always protect her.

All sorts of strange phenomena began to appear in the house.

The sisters began to see a ghost in the house, a little girl.

All of this highlights the wardrobe in Gulian's bedroom that seems to store the past, a wardrobe with terrifying power.

The stepmother is always bullying the cowardly Red Lotus, and the strong Rose is always unable to protect her sister in time.

-----

The hatred of women is the eternal topic of supernatural films.

-----

Guren was locked into the closet by her stepmother again. The closet seemed to have terrible power over her. She cried and screamed.

But was kept inside until exhausted crying.

Qianghua rescued her sister in anger and grief. Facing her father who knew nothing, she finally cried. Tell the father that the stepmother has been bullying Red Lotus.

Her father was a little helpless(?) in pain(?) suppressed(?) suspicious(?) and said to her,

"Red Lotus has long since died."

Rose was shocked, then cried, and she looked back at "Red Lotus" tremblingly.

Guren lowered her head, trembling, retreating, screaming, her eyes full of fear and despair. Then disappear.

----------------

Red Lotus has long since died. From the beginning of the film to the present, everything related to stepmother and Red Lotus is a fantasy of Rose.

Not long after their father met the young and beautiful stepmother, the biological mother hanged herself in the closet of Guren's room.

In order to pull out her mother from the closet, Gu Lian exerted too much force in her urgency, and was also pressed under the huge closet.

Before she died, her stepmother heard a loud noise and walked into her room, letting Gulian's hand beat helplessly on the ground without helping her and her biological mother; Rose's state of mind did not tell Rose who was passing by the corridor.

She just said to the arrogant and tough Rose,

"One day, you will regret your attitude towards me today for the rest of your life."

----------

Rose Flowers are crazy. And the resentful spirit could not calm down in that house.

Rose lives in a world entirely created by herself.

In that world, her younger sister, Gulian, still lives by her side and is still abused by her stepmother.

And she is the only protector of Red Lotus. As long as she is there, her sister will not suffer any harm.

Unexpectedly, in that world, the stepmother is also played by herself...

--------- The

illusion was finally broken, and we returned to reality.

Rose was sitting in a mental hospital, expressionless.

Suddenly laughed. She heard the song of Red Lotus from the closet of Red Lotus's bedroom at home.

At this time, there was only a stepmother in the family, and the memories of dying in the past tormented her repeatedly.

The wraith in the closet finally woke up.

The stepmother opened the wardrobe, which contained the bitter hatred of the sisters' biological mother and the pain of Guren who was suffocated to death.

It was a wraith, a rotting wraith, crawling out of the closet towards the stepmother.

The wraith was screaming, a scream of despair.

The last thing we hear is the scream of the stepmother.

Rose smiled, and the resentful spirits in the room finally calmed down.
------------------The

screen becomes dim. is a memory. Memories of all.

That day, the stepmother came to the house for the first time and was treated rudely by the sisters. (Humanity) The

mother hugged the crying red lotus and wept silently, and then the red lotus fell asleep.

Mother hanged herself in Guren's closet. Guren was pushed under the closet in a hurry...

Her nails scratched and scratched on the floor and closet, making a terrible noise.

...

The stepmother was desperate, and said to Rose who didn't know what was going on,

"One day, you will regret your attitude towards me today for the rest of your life."

Rose knocked her stepmother away.

She passed through the reeds outside the house, and at this moment, she remembered the gorgeous and sad dance music at the beginning of the film.

Like endless threads.

The camera cuts, and Red Lotus suffocated to death in the dark wardrobe, before dying, screaming to her sister for help.

Rose seemed to sense something, and when she looked back, she saw the cold face of her stepmother in front of the window.

Rose turned around and continued walking.

At this time, her face with her head lowered is the most beautiful and sad scene in the entire movie.

At this time, the background music, the dance music was replaced by music box performance, the melody remained unchanged.

The splendor of the dance music has all been washed away, and the sadness slowly overflows until it is turbulent.

------------

"Sister, sister, save me, save me."

-----

"I will always be by your side and protect you."

-----

She lives in her In the imaginary world, the younger sister has always been under her own protection.

-----

At the end of the video, Rose is sitting by the river in a red sweater with white flowers.

She put her feet in the water, the river rippled, and the wind blew her long hair from under the brim of her hat.

I believe that Red Lotus is by her side.

--------

The resentment finally subsided, and all fear and pain subsided.

No more gore.

Now there are only roses and red lotuses in full bloom.



-------

I love you,

even if you die,

I still want to be

with you.
