First of all, I would like to say that the pictures and acting skills of this play are remarkable and enjoyable.
Compared with this, the special effects are slightly cheaper. Sometimes I think it would be more appropriate to have a low-quality B-level film. I have a similar feeling for "Strange Thing", but this time it is more obvious.
Although the production quality of this film is high, I still couldn’t watch it. I started fast-forwarding from the third episode and gave up on the fifth. On the one hand, as many people say, the rhythm is really procrastinated, and on the other hand, it’s because of the discomfort of the plot. The feeling is too strong.
The most extreme is the scene of the final exorcism in the haunted house, where people and ghosts form a circle to drive away the evil spirits of the murderer. This scene seems to me very insulting. No matter what kind of person you were during your lifetime, no matter what your personality views are, at that moment, the only label you are allowed to wear is "anti-white." For me, this is the core of the film, and it is also a common problem in the mental state of the black community today.
Originally, I didn’t want to connect the plot to the current social issues, because, especially for horror stories, the social background can be just the background, it can be completely overhead, just like the crazy scientist in the rotten street in the zombie film, even if it is out of reality, it is not. Affect everyone's acceptance and perception.
But if you want to turn the social background issue into the main theme in this way, and the horror element is only used as an embellishment, then IMHO, why don't you make a documentary?
There is no denying that I came here for my love of craftsmanship, and the producer knows very well that if he does not bring his love for craftsmanship, what he wants to shoot will be difficult to attract people like me.
why? Because those things are very boring, completely contrary to fantasy and freedom. To a reader who likes "The Princess of Mars" said: "Did you know? Actually the protagonist's identity politics is not correct." The whole film is simply doing such a thing, what anti-Romanism, what re-deconstruction, what reflection... …Actually, it can be summed up in three words-horrible scenery.
In this state of mind, what new things can be created? Use narrow racism to imprison yourself in a narrow perspective-yes, I just think that black Americans are the most racist group of people at the moment. Almost half of their culture is based on discrimination against whites, and there is no mitigation. the trend of.
When the slave owner is no longer there, but your spirit still regards yourself as a slave, you can only dig out the old devils from the grave and lash them again.
And in this flogging aimed at criticizing the love of craftsmanship, what I saw is that even with today's shooting techniques and political correctness, in a B-level drama, the things that can be criticized are nothing but this. In the future, I will continue to create for a hundred years, and the ideas and creativity that love craftsmanship will continue to inspire more people.
A work like "Devil's Land" is not possible. Parasites are the most appropriate description I can think of for such a work.
