The 1989 movie "Midnight Terror" describes a story of love and crime. The suspenseful pace runs through until the final answer is revealed. Let’s not talk about the answer, let’s talk about the movie itself, the layout and layout of the movie. As well as the light, we have used very serious thoughts, adding a lot of gentle artistic tone to the tense atmosphere of the film. At the same time, the film uses a very clear structure in the structure, that is, the rhythm of thought and counter-thought. The dynamic movement between the positive load and the negative load of value is constructed. This kind of mutual ascending development makes every simple dynamic relationship appear very complicated and ironic. In During the investigation of a serial murder case, police officer Frank fell in love with the major suspect Helen in the case. This arrangement of the black cat sergeant falling in love with the one-eyed mouse made Frank both evasive and uncontrollable at the same time accompanied by self-deception, and it is precisely this This self-deceptive cover made Helen miss the first time to verify the body, and let the interweaving of suspicion and admiration continue to continue, making the film continue to heat up in the struggle between pros and cons. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the case itself, the police concluded that the perpetrator can almost be determined to be a female. This preconceived judgment makes all the characters and viewers into the mode that Helen is a murderer, and everything the film does is for To make the contradiction more acute, the justice value theory is positive, the love value theory is negative, the struggle between the positive and the negative seems ironic or even sad. Frank's professional habit as a policeman or the value of justice in his heart makes him an unavoidable discovery. Helen may have several major suspicions, but at the same time there is a Frank possessed by love. Love allows Frank to constantly cover up his doubts, Frank's contradictions, pain, and the poison of love. In the film, there are three dark stairs at the entrance of Frank’s house, and there is only a red exit reminder in the depths of the darkness. This simple scene that appears three times plays an important role in reminding the plot of the film and the inner situation of the characters. It is a metaphor in the film. The first appearance is actually the real murderer banging at Frank's dangerous door. Loving Shanghai Lun means falling in love with the danger. When you know the ending to explain the first dark staircase, the movie is already telling you at that time. , The murderer is not Helen, and he is hiding in the black hole, but it makes it difficult to prevent you from being attacked. With the development of the plot, similar scenes reappear in the middle of the time, and at this time it is Frank who is deeply trapped in Helen’s gentle village. In the inextricably developmental stage of the middle, Frank looked at the dark stairs and was suddenly frightened by a bird flying by. The scene at this moment represented the more and more fearful mood in Frank's heart; and the dark stairs appeared for the third time. It appears at the end of the film. The climax of the whole film and the mystery are revealed in the final chapter. Helen walked from the dark, graceful and sultry, and walked towards Frank. When he saw it, many people would think it was. When Helen, the murderer behind the scenes, was about to become the murderer in front of the stage, he thought that Frank was the target of Helen's action this time, but in fact it was completely wrong. In fact, when the dark Helen walked toward the light, he was about to throw the correct answer to the viewers. At the time, the real murderer was Helen’s perverted ex-husband. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it. Thank you that the murderer was not Helen. Thank you for not being let down by love. The film as a whole should belong to the general category.
