"Roommate" is a movie that is positioned as a campus youth drama, so whether it is a romance or a thriller, it is destined to have nothing to do with deep connotations or complicated themes. If you say that romantic dramas, in addition to handsome men and beauties, and explicit dews, there may be some touching episodes such as "Principal I Love You", "Color is Empty", "My Savage Girlfriend", and even rise to excellent films that discuss the true meaning of love. If so, the horror drama is better than nothing, screaming and bloody, except for handsome men and beauties and explicit dews. Don't underestimate the screaming and gore, many thrillers can't even meet such basic requirements.
I think it's the most appropriate to describe this film as'embroidered pillow'. The superficial article is sufficient, I am afraid it is the most helpless and most effective way for the film producer to make up for the film's dry core. But after watching this film, I still feel uneasy. After all, Rebecca’s illness in the film is manifested by her extreme emotions and behaviors, but it is difficult for me to guarantee that my roommate or seemingly familiar person is not a monster driven by some extreme emotion or inner secret. ', I also did something terrible one day, thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart! After all, hatred needs a reason, and revenge also needs a reason, but if the person who uses terrorism is a mentally abnormal patient and cannot be judged by simple affair, then everything is impossible. Therefore, those of us who long for a peaceful life would better pray not to encounter such things or people.
Obviously, "Roommate" can't meet this standard. With almost no suspense, the film reveals the true identity of Rebecca (Leyton Meester) at the very beginning, greatly reducing the level of suspense of the film, and the director does not seem to want to over-destroy Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly’s innocent image does not use enough blood and horror, so the whole movie looks rather dull. I believe that most of the audience in the process of watching the movie, watching the plot is the second priority, watching how beautiful women behave has become the first task, at least I myself.
Although the overall rhythm of the movie is concise and lively, there is not too much wordy content. But what is more puzzling is that the director is too casual in explaining the important information of the plot. On the contrary, some meaningless content accounts for too much space in the film (although it does not affect the overall conciseness of the film). The perverted details that can be used to explain the important role of Rebecca in the film are somewhat discounted. This directly causes everything in the film to come too suddenly, even the audience can guess within the first 20 minutes of the film. The final ending of a movie is really inappropriate for a thriller movie. After all, putting the final answer at the end of the movie is the only way to win this kind of movie. However, it seems that the producers of this film quite understand the principle of'general content, beauty supplement'. Many of the beauties in the movie are very seductive. Although the length of the film’s performance is really limited, this is still considered to be the most prominent performance of Leighton Meester, and it is also the first time I can perform on this big-eyed beauty. A chance to smell a horrible smell! The female lead Minka Kelly has been in a semi-red and not-black situation for many years, but her pleasing beauty and charming smile are definitely worth seeing the film with many'sexual men' I have waited for! Even the Bulgarian beauty Nina Dobrev, who became popular for her role in "The Vampire Diaries", unexpectedly played a role in the movie for a minute! Thinking of this, I am content.
Thrillers have never been a stage to test the acting skills of actors. After all, excellent thriller scripts like "The Shining", "Sixth Sense", and "The Closed Island" are not everywhere, but rather like "I Know You Did It Last Summer" "What's the matter" movies with such trivial titles are almost all over the streets. And if the scope is narrowed down to campus thrillers, the plot of its story development can be described by the word "routine". In principle, as long as you change the time, place, and character, the rest can develop along the pattern of screaming, screaming and screaming. Anyway, no matter how serious the bad guys are attacked by physical or chemical or combined physical and chemical attacks, They will not die until the last moment, even at the last moment, and those innocent and cute people are always likely to be killed by any form of attack at any time. Every time you watch a movie like this, you have a deeper understanding of the phrase "good people have peace in their lives": a good person really has a life in peace, but the life of a good person is always shorter than that of a bad person. As for the final ending of the film, whether the real murderer is killed or killed by the real murderer, it depends entirely on the director's wishes. Therefore, in this type of movie, to study the plot twists or deep connotations is simply to find yourself guilty. And paying attention to the appearance of handsome men and beauties in the film is a second choice.
Sarah in the movie is a fashion design student who goes to college in Los Angeles, and her roommate is a beautiful girl named Rebecca. The originally harmonious and simple life of the dormitory roommate began to change as Sara discovered that Rebecca cared too much for herself. Slowly various strange things began to affect Sarah's life, and the unknown side of Rebecca began to be known by people. . . In fact, all the clues set in the movie are very straightforward and simple. Although many details in the movie obviously push Rebecca in the movie to the complex of "Lala", I still feel a little wrong. Because when the mystery of the movie has been guessed by the audience, Rebecca's over-attention to the person she loves and the mentality of being cruel because of love, dominated by'extreme emotion', are enough to be understood and understood by people. Therefore, the director really does not have to hang on to extra gay gimmicks.
A small thriller movie with an actual cost of only a few million, and a "catwalk" performance by a hot and beautiful girl made this film unexpectedly become a hit movie in the spring of Hollywood this year. For those of us who are accustomed to the docking cliche, if you still can’t guess the ending of the film 20 minutes after the beginning of the film and what is wrong with Rebecca played by Leighton Meister in "Little Beauty", I It can only be said that it is not a problem of the plot of the movie, but a problem of your IQ. Under the influence of the horror and horror effect created by the magical trailer of this film, I have been looking forward to the possibility that the movie will have an "unexpected joy" in the final appearance, and hold on to the end with a sense of anxiety. However, it is a pity that the grandson of the director really has no accidents, and there are no accidents! The final ending of the movie simply made me spit blood! However, when I was disappointed when I re-examined the movie, I still found some details that could not be surprises, but were more memorable.
