I just closed Baofengyingyin, my eyes are still swollen, not afraid, but moved.
Passengers. I don't know if anyone has seen it and was as confused as I was. Although the film shows that this is a horror drama in 2008. But no matter from the shooting technique or the makeup of the characters, it is a warm tone. Compared with the Korean school series, which is completely based on cold blue, and the Hong Kong hospital series full of amputated arms and limbs, it can be said to be completely different.
The heroine has a small face, big eyes, and a straight nose. A lot of people say she's too manly, but I like the chiseled look. The male protagonist is very handsome, well, he belongs to the kind of "royal brother" handsome.
The plot is very simple. Claire, the heroine who is a psychiatrist, gives psychological counseling to several crash survivors. During this time, she fell in love with one of the patients, Eric. Eric is also one of the survivors. People who have experienced catastrophe often have psychological problems, but he looks as usual: humorous, cheerful, gentle. He persistently pursued Claire, and although he was rejected by many, the two fell in love in the end.
After the sweetness, strange things started to happen, Eric saw a dog he had as a child, which died when he was six years old. Only ghosts can see each other, which is typical Western thinking. So Eric decided that he was also dead, and he ran to the rails, not dodging or dodging against the oncoming train. Claire, who came, couldn't stop it, and watched the train pass through Eric's body, but he was completely fine.
Claire collapsed with a pale face, but she said to Eric, who was almost collapsed on the rails, come back, let's go home. Even if the yin and yang are separated, they still have to be together.
The story goes here, and it is almost a replica of "the ghosts are over". But this is not the end. In the end, Claire found a list of those who crashed, with her own name on it.
The memory, like a flood of sluices, suddenly became clear. Yes, she also got on the plane, and she was sitting on Eric's left. The two hit it off and talked happily. When the plane's engine caught fire, he took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
In fact, this ending is not very surprising to me, who has experienced ghost movies for a long time. Nicole Kidman's "Frightening Island" and the "Sixth Sense" played by a certain Xiao Zhengtai are the end of this big reversal. The director deliberately deconstructed the real world from the perspective of the dead, and the "people" in the true sense have instead become intruders. The protagonist always realizes at the last moment that he has long since passed away.
When they first came into contact with this type of film, several people were speechless after watching it for a long time. A friend said, "If one day I die, please let me know."
Life and death, what a heavy topic. Once I slept with my 11-year-old cousin, she said to me, "Sometimes I lie in bed alone, thinking that I will die one day, and I will not know anything, and I feel sad." I was amazed at her In addition to being precocious, he is also quite thoughtful. In turn, it occurred to me that this might be the answer to a question I've been missing for a long time. That is why there is the concept of "ghost" and the existence of ghost films.
That's because of the fear in people's hearts of "not knowing" after death. Even if it turns into a wandering ghost or a ghost after death, it is at least a kind of "existence", not a complete nothingness. That's why I haven't dared to touch Fan Zhen's "The Destruction of the Gods", maybe it's a subconscious resistance to "nothingness".
It is a kind of happiness to have ghosts in your heart and believe in ghosts. At least you believe that there will be another reincarnation after life. We can still fulfill many unfulfilled wishes. Just like the hero and heroine in the film, in the real world, they fell in love at first sight, but before everything started, a terrible disaster happened. And when they die, they can date, hold hands, kiss, and do whatever they want. From another angle, perhaps this "ghost life" is their real "life".
In this way, a small poem is posted to end:
You are my grievance, and I have a lot of love. A lot of love, hot as fire.
Take a piece of mud, twist a you, and mold a me.
Break the two of us together and mix with water.
One more twist of you, another one of me.
I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud.
I was born in the same quilt and died in the same coffin.
——Pipeline Sheng "My Nong Ci"
