premise is that the
Ching Ming Festival has a continuous holiday, and the filmmaker has released a bunch of new films in one breath. However, "Retribution", which is expected to be released on 4/5 in the United States, was originally scheduled for the evening of 4/4 in Taiwan, where the time difference was about ten hours earlier. It is released, so people who watch this movie on the 4th should feel happy, because it may be the first audience in the world to see this movie in public release. As for myself, I only went to see it on the 4/5, so it’s no different from everyone. , But the weather that was not bad that day, it started to rain after the end, it was a little disappointing.
The director and Cass
director Stephen Hawkins’s most iconic work is the director of "LIS Space" that sank the box office big biography "Titanic"
(the impression is, if there is a mistake, tell me Sound bar), and the second episode of "Ultimate Warrior" was also produced by him, and it also created one of the pushers who later became the ultimate fighter against aliens (wait until I write "Alien Battlefield" or "Alien Battlefield II" I'll write it later), so basically science fiction movies are more of his strengths, but from these two movies, it can be seen that the director has a good grasp of the tension and rhythm. This type of director is most suitable for this type of The horror thriller, coupled with the two editors of "The Wax Museum of Horror", also made the atmosphere of this movie to its highest point.
Hilary Swan, seeing him knows that God is fair, there is no outstanding appearance, but his superb acting skills let him hold the award of best actress Oscar early, and he never set limits on his acting, lesbian , Boxer, police officer, author came to this anti-religious scholar, versatile, and let everyone ignore its appearance to see his talent, and the other side of the movie's plot is Ana Sofia Robert who plays the little girl Lauren. , If anyone who has watched "Chocolate Adventure Factory" should not forget one of the dead kids in it, she is now a twelve-year-old girl, and it happens that there are two movies starring him in this schedule. ("Retribution" and "Looking for a Dreamland") has become an interesting situation in which two movies starring in the fight against each other.
Viewing experience
(text content touches the plot) The
story of the movie is a quote from the well-known [Exodus], which contains the ten plagues mentioned, and the so-called ten plagues are the river turning red, the frog plague, and the lice plague in the order of creation. , Flies, livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the eldest boy. While the disasters occur in sequence, the whole thing is getting more and more out of common sense.
The whole movie has a very religious connotation, especially the ending of the movie is religious. The heroine was originally a devout believer. After obtaining the priesthood, she became enthusiastic to go to Sudan for relief trips, but the day did not follow the wishes of others. When he arrived in Sudan, he not only failed to achieve the mission of rescue and mission, but instead allowed his husband to be killed and his daughter to be sacrificed by the living. The miracle of using science to dissolve human’s superstition of religion, and to use it as a revenge for faith, to disintegrate people’s beliefs in scientific proofs, and thus attract the teachers of Anxi Town to ask for help. After the teacher mentioned that the villagers would lynch the girl, he decided not to let his daughter's misfortune happen again in the world.
The movie reminds me of Nicholas Cage’s big bad movie "Evil Clue" last year. The remote town, strong religious beliefs, and living sacrifices, the tone of the whole movie can be said to be the same, but in According to different screenwriters and directors, "Karma" looks terrifying and splendid. The film quotes the ten plagues of [Exodus], and it uses science to overthrow the so-called miracles. This type of film It is the most controversial and the most attractive movie. I mentioned it in this week’s box office article on 2007-3/31~4/01. The film stuck between the two ends of the scale of religion and science is the most topical. It is also the easiest to attract the box office, and under the plot arrangement of the movie, it completely makes people do not think that the whole event has anything to do with science. It is a disappointing part of the movie, but the movie is a bit missionary, so the plot is like this. The direction is not surprised.
After the samples of the protagonist and the assistant were returned, it was confirmed to some extent that the film was not about science, and the mystery was also revealed in advance, but what is more powerful is that after the plot has been laid out, the scientific and religious mystery is solved from the beginning. , Transformed into a distinction between justice and evil. After the heroine begins to believe that all these things are not about science, she has to determine which is right, so that the movie will not lose the fun of guessing and solving puzzles in the latter part of the movie. The film also began to slowly solve the mystery through disaster after disaster.
In the end, the mystery was revealed. It turned out that the people in Anxi Town were all cultists, and the heroine who thought she was an angel, realized that not only was she not an angel, she was almost tricked into killing Laurent who was an angel. The last scene of God’s sanctions is very hilarious and religious. It is the weakest part of the whole film. I didn’t expect that the heroine would become a woman pregnant with Satan after saving the angels. Suddenly, I felt a very "devil" feeling. At this moment, I can only think that if I want to shoot the second episode, I don’t want to watch Le... the
end
It's basically a pretty scary movie. The movie won't scare you beyond your imagination. It will let you know that he is going to scare you, and then scare you in a way beyond your imagination. So basically There are still terrifying horror movies on the list. If you like "Devil", "The Great Master" or even those who like "Evil Clue" in your heart but are embarrassed to say it, you can consider watching this movie, and there is a bug in it. , Maggots, it can satisfy your desire to watch A-level horror film plots and B-level horror film pictures, but it is not recommended to watch this movie with a hamburger, and there is no blood spray in the movie. Those who want to watch this kind of scenes The audience may be a little disappointed.
Digression
1. Frog Rain is much inferior to "Mind Drops"...
2. Don't think that the trailer is over. The good-looking lies in the scary places that you can't see...
