The young and beautiful Greta went to Britain from the United States alone to avoid his ex-boyfriend Cole, and found a "sounds good" nanny job-taking care of the Shashire couple's son Brahms. On the way to Shashire Manor by car, the old driver peeked at Greta through the rearview mirror. Greta took off the collar in disgust when she noticed it. Although she was very tired, it can be seen that her sense of self-protection, vigilance and intuition are relatively good. powerful. Shashire Manor is located in the suburbs. After arriving, the old driver told Greta Shashire and his wife that they had gone out (the old driver was serving the manor, yes, they were all in the same group) and asked her to go in and wait for a while. When Mrs. Shashire saw Greta, she said that they had been waiting for too long. Perhaps they did not go out, but used this as an excuse to leave time for Brahms to observe Greta. After all, the Shashires would never leave Brahms alone at home. of. At first glance, Mrs. Shashire was a dignified and powerful female character, and the person in charge of the family. The first thing Greta said was why she didn't wear shoes, indicating that she was very appearance-oriented and strict. Mr. Shashire, on the other hand, looked more kind, and his aura was completely beaten by his wife, perhaps a cowardly and obedient person.
Mrs. Shashire said that she had changed a lot of babysitters before—no Greta was young and beautiful, and he was really a picky and headstrong child...—I realized that it was a porcelain doll named Brahms after seeing it. There is a lot to do every day: recite, listen to music, the music is opera, and the bel canto sounds exciting and tragic. May I ask which child likes listening to this kind of music? Besides cleaning up the mice in the outdoor mousetrap? Mr. Shashire said meaningfully that his child is still here with him... Greta is full of doubts and puzzles, and at the same time feels a little uneasy and weird, but reality is overwhelming. To solve those problems that faintly arise in her heart. The Shashire couple hurriedly said that they were going on vacation the next day, but they looked more like they were going to escape. Mr. Shashire told Greta to follow the rules, "If you treat him well, he will treat you well. If you treat him badly,..." "I admit that we spoiled him." Before leaving, Mrs. Shashire hugged Greta, guilty and saying sorry from the bottom of her heart seemed to imply something.
So far, the director and screenwriter have dug a lot of pits and left many hints of thoughtfulness and fear. After the Shashire couple left, Greta's "free" life began, and strange things happened again and again: falling blankets, doll's tears, cut hair, lost necklaces and dresses, locked storage rooms, reappearing shoes... She was eager to solve various mysteries, and her nightmare also prevented her from sleeping peacefully, and her inner doubts and anxiety became stronger. (I want a high-return, low-risk, and leisurely job—impossible!) A terrible thing happened, and it also confirmed an idea: The doll seems to be the spirit body of Brahms, and Greta completely accepts it. She used to be a mother, but because of Cole (perhaps domestic violence), she lost that child. Is it destined? Greta decided to stay and take care of Brahms like her own child. Brahms’ biological parents, the Shashire couple, left a letter and drowned themselves in the river. Soon the lake became calm again and no trace of them was seen anymore, just like a disguise more than 20 years ago. Brahms was burned to death without flaws... Every step of the couple’s mistakes is based on petting. They may have been glorious and respected, but they have not cared about Brahms’ inner thoughts or even the children. The mental development deformity of Emily led to a tragedy-breaking the skull of her playmate Emily and burying it under a tree. Even so, the Shashires wanted to cover Brahms so that they could retreat, and a fire started. No matter how they remedied it, they had to endure endless torture from the bitter fruit, until finally they cowardly chose to commit suicide. This is so sad...
Greta, who doesn't know the truth, still abides by the rules day after day, facing Malcolm's persuasion that she refuses to leave (the silly girl is completely trapped in a scam and can't help herself). The life is so good and not bad. Finally, what Greta feared the most happened—Cole came—and forced Greta to go with him. Take a look at this Cole, who is always mentioned for causing a deep shadow on Greta. He is tall, strong and violent, and he doesn't know a few big characters. He is obviously a very vulgar and rough person. And Greta would rather stay in the gloomy manor with the spirit doll of Brahms than go home with Cole (people are scarier than ghosts...). Cole was irritated and smashed the Brahms doll's head to pieces (the wicked are not afraid of ghosts!), and then we have to see what Brahms's real body is!
It turned out that Brahms did not die, but lived like a mouse in the shadow of the house. He wants to kill those who threaten him, he wants to kill those who try to take him away. In the last part of the film, it can be seen that Brahms attaches great importance to the ten rules and strictly abides by them:
What he needs most is companionship—human companionship—comprehensive companionship, so he desperately tried to catch Greta, but backfired. In the end, he was "stabbed"...Looking at his burned and deformed face, he really felt that It's so pitiful, the ghost knows what he went through! In my opinion, even if there are some mental illnesses and problems such as congenital depression, they can be adjusted and recovered through acquired counseling. Many parents think that the child looks healthy is really healthy but they ignore the most important mental health problem. (That's why there are so many weird murders.) This is really a great sadness... Finally, the door of the manor was opened like that, and a lonely hand assembled the shattered dolls together, waiting for the next person who could accompany him to come... There was a loneliness in the heart of the person watching. desolate…
I watched a lot of horror movies, but from the label, I have never understood the difference between horror and horror. After watching this film, I have thought about it carefully. Those with ghosts appearing to make people find nowhere to escape are classified as horror films. Those without ghosts appearing and the truth is revealed after passing through various clues are classified as thrillers, and disaster films are also considered as horror films. Film, I think so. So this film is a thriller, and it is a well-made, thought-provoking film.
