The dark side of humanity

As a horror movie, it is nothing more than ghosts and monsters infestation, and criminals are rampant. It stimulates the audience's senses with a kind of horror event that people may encounter with a small probability. Movies such as "Reaper Is Coming" are more sophisticated. It seems that Reaper is hidden in the dark, but the essence is the coincidence of people's daily life, which makes people feel that they are theoretically close to these dangers, so the horror effect is better. . It can be said that the closer the horror story is to the audience, the stronger the excitement of this horror. From this perspective, the plot of "The Dark Side" is more cleverly conceived. A thriller that looks like a ghost is slowly moving into daily life. Life ultimately expresses the dark side of ordinary people's hearts, pointing directly to the hidden demons of human nature. This psychological horror makes this film a surprise for me recently.

Regardless of the director’s intentions, as a thriller movie, the quality of the plot structure is still fundamental. From this point, "The Dark Side" is successful, from the mysterious disappearance of a conductor’s girlfriend to a series of encounters by his new girlfriend in the house. Mysterious events make you feel that this is going to be a haunted house movie. For example, the conductor’s ex-girlfriend is dead, and the ghost is still there, and the follow-up may be a quarrel between people and ghosts. When I fall into this kind of thought, if the director can know, he must have begun to "smile", yes, this is a game set by the director. Thriller is often accompanied by suspense, and suspense is often to create a reversal that surprises the audience. The film directly led the audience into a "wrong" direction from the film's style and structure. As the plot unfolded, it gave the audience a slow reversal, but still achieved surprising results. The plot of the film is divided into two sections, which are opened in two rooms that the conductor’s two girlfriends later confessed. The first section is about the new girlfriend "Meeting Ghosts", creating all kinds of suspense, and the second half is about the missing girlfriend. Her story is just right. Explaining the various reasons why the new girlfriend "encounters ghosts", the truth has been revealed in the middle of the film. This approach is special, because such films are usually scary at the end, and the director is full of confidence to reveal the truth early. Because this movie is not only scary in terms of plot, but more importantly, the whole process, it will show the entangled process of human contradictions.

The plot of the whole film seems to be a battle between two women. For the one they love, the woman is hard for the woman. When the conductor's new girlfriend appeared on the stage, she was beautiful and moving. When people saw her "meeting ghosts" and feared and pained, they would inevitably feel sympathy and lament that the poor lover met the grieving ghost. But then, from the point of view of the conductor’s old lover, we saw an equally beautiful woman who loved her boyfriend but was suffering from some relationship problems between the two, so she gave birth to a "missing" strategy to test her boyfriend, but Don't want to be clever but be mistaken by cleverness. The communication between the two women in the two spaces is very interesting. There is no language, only a few taps to communicate, which seems to be indistinguishable from the yin and yang communication of ghost films. Finally, they established a connection, and finally Xinhuan had the opportunity to save the old love. However, the struggle of human nature appeared. When the old love was struggling on the dark side of this world and the light of life gradually dimmed, Xinhuan was in the world. On the bright side, enjoy life and happiness with your lover. How could she let a woman who theoretically disappeared from this world destroy her happiness, so this woman who was pitiful before stood on the bright side, but went to the dark side in her heart, trying to keep her love rivals behind In an eternally dark space. This is a human struggle and a test of the audience's position. In movies, it is often disgraceful to fall into the darkness for money, but for the sake of love, it always makes people understand and shock. What we see is the obsessive love of two women. One woman came up with a crazy experiment because of this love, but tested her survival ability; because of this love, the other woman let her heart go cruel. The dark side. Finally, in two different dimensions, physical and psychological, both women stepped into the dark side and fell into their respective predicaments. And when the audience thinks that these two women, one is very stupid, and the other is very vicious, the man they are surrounding appears innocent. He can quickly form a new love after his girlfriend disappears. It looks like this There is nothing wrong, but comparing the encounters of two infatuated women is mixed. The historical background of the film is also intriguing. The "dark side" itself is a product of World War II war criminals evading investigation. In this film, it is also called a place to witness the "dark side" of the world, as the "dark side" of human nature is radicalized and grouped. The product of transformation, the history of Nazi Germany and the destiny of modern individuals have brought some revelation to the meaning of the film. The "dark side" is hidden in everyone's heart. Under special conditions, a little carelessness may be possible. Swallowing your heart, you can see from the conductor’s new love’s selfish behavior, from the conductor’s old love as a victim of strong revenge

Although the film’s most outstanding feature is its clever plot design, it is not inferior to similar films on the technical level. For example, in the rendering of the weird atmosphere, the sound effect of a small bathroom creates sufficient effects. The contrast between the two scenes surrounding the mirror again and again fully demonstrates a sense of despair and tragedy that is so close and so far away, and brings this anxiety from the movie characters to the hearts of the audience. "The Dark Side" is such an excellent thriller film that does not engage in gimmicks and is not blunt and scary, but focuses on plot and bridge design. It is also a film that has ideas and tries to express more meaning. In the end, the two have a lot of A good balance allows the audience to feel the sigh brought by the fate of the two women when they high-five for the ingenious plot.
