You have to look around

When I was watching the Ghost King, I was fascinated by Dan Cascarari. He used his unruly taste and unlimited imagination to tell his favorite stories, and at the same time brought full fun to the audience. In "John Is Dead", he weaves multiple time and space and multiple scenarios together as he wants. Others find it difficult to watch, but he enjoys playing. Some movies cannot be understood but no one dares to say anything. The poor cult movie has become a target for people who can't understand it. People who can't even enjoy the simple excitement are too tired to live. The dark night gives me black eyes, and I will use it to hunt for wonder.

I have read countless monsters. When I saw the monsters made of frozen pork sausages and frozen pork ribs in the freezer, my eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Nowadays, there are not many people who are willing to mess with these disgusting things. You can only Turning through the old movies, sucking in the air, to soothe the dissatisfaction of my spiritual desires, but the spectacle ends here, although monsters have been released afterwards, but only in terms of styling, it is a bit lackluster. They are all old gimmicks of science fiction and horror. The weirdness of using the peripheral light to see things, forcing the giant spider monster to appear is also considered thrilling.

This movie seems to involve some Eastern Zen studies and surrealism. John bewitched David to escape from the interrogation room, and the guard in the mirror disappeared out of thin air. John’s remarks made me feel like emptiness. When you saw it, you didn’t actually see it. No. The mirror itself is a different space. After running out of the door, you will jump into another parallel space. All obstacles have been eliminated. The old guard's arm must have fallen in a certain space, and the beard has become a bird and a doorknob. It feels surreal to become xx, but the doorknob is rude and laughable, and the beard is light and ethereal.

The conjurer Jamaican has the theme of the movie in a mysterious place. Time is the sea, space is smoke, and thoughts are flying snakes, able to shuttle between various possibilities. You can't watch this movie straight, you have to watch it around. Thoughts diverge at will in the form of brain waves, so the receiver can understand all the thinking of the sender. John in a coma releases brain waves, that is, the soul is out of the body. Whether it is a broken mobile phone or a hot dog, it is just a medium. At this time, John The soul followed David, and then took possession of the dog, and then, when the dog touched John's hand, the soul returned. John woke up, with the color of oriental ghost talk, but in a joking manner, it dispelled the mysterious atmosphere. The sender and receiver of thoughts are not limited to humans, so the TV received a certain thought and previewed the shooting scene in advance, and David also rushed across the time gap before the bullet strikes, playing the butterfly effect, and keeping it. Fate.

The original author is very fond of Chinese culture. His pen name is David Wang, which is also the name of the protagonist. He likes to soak in Chinese restaurants. The magical venom in the movie is soy sauce. Injecting soy sauce can connect to the gate of the N realm and travel at will, including hell. Ghosts are intangible. It can be shaped by imagination, and everyone sees it differently. The first season of "American Horror Story" has similar scenes, different entities of ghost maids, men's eyes are sultry beauty, women's eyes are old and withered Woman, this is the ghost appearance born from the heart, the reporter is this kind of product, David interrupted his imagination, he just swished away, but the soul should still be there.

Time and space are boundless, coming and going are free, but the ways are inconsistent, and disputes are inevitable. The monsters of different dimensions are about to wreak havoc. After defeating one Clark, thousands of Clarks will stand up, David and David John has a long way to fight ghosts, and he has a long way to go.


(Part of the content is explained by dimensions. It feels simpler and better understood. Injection of soy sauce should be able to achieve 6 dimensions. Probably the director thinks that Chinese Buddha is 6 dimensions.)

    Dave: Being crazy, mentally ill.

    Father Shellnut: Well, they never know they're ill, do they? I mean, you can't diagnose yourself with the same organ that has the disease, just like you can't see your own eyeball. I suppose you just feel regular, and the rest of the world seems to go crazy around you.
