The scary thing is not the darkness itself, but the unknown, and the sad thing is not death, but forgetting.
The story begins with a weird suicide. The blind girl ends her life and stumbles in the dark towards the hanging rope that ends her life. The twin sister, who also suffers from eye diseases, became obsessed with this "suicide" after hearing the news, and started her pursuit of the murderer. People who are obsessed with the truth will always be hit by the facts, because every hypothesis and verification will Brings new doubts and long speculations. In this process, she experienced betrayal, deceit, and hurt, which is a darkness that is more terrifying than blindness, because doubts will eventually lead to loneliness.
No one can tell clearly about the entanglements in human nature, so smart people will not try to explain, but are more inclined to experience and excitement. No doubt the director is such a person. He knows that the emotions in the dark are like hidden in the real. There is no way to start in the dark, so he simply takes you to experience the kind of helplessness. It is undoubtedly the most immersive method to blind a previously completely normal heroine in the step-by-step experience, just like in life you can’t do it. It's like a person describes an emotion, and he can only use his own way to heal his body, but this step itself is full of great helplessness.
So the audience began to follow the heroine into the darkness, staggering together, looking for the deadly hands in the darkness. In the process, she experienced blindness, discovered her husband's betrayal, and endured her husband's tragic death, and suffered even more cruel things. She relied on the most terrifying hands and regarded him as the only salvation in the last days, but she didn't know that it was actually the last straw in her life. It would be easier for those who wished you to destroy you. She completely repeated the truth and despair, nightmares, betrayal, and restlessness she wanted. If she does not recover, she may have been immersed in the happiness brought to her by the killer.
Fortunately and unfortunately, she saw the world again, the dripping blood, the cruel face, and the truth she had always wanted. Accompanying her in the darkness is the invisible killer who tries to control her. In order to get it, he will blind everyone he likes, enjoy the feeling of being needed, the kind of almost crazy existence because of the needs of others, let He is killing him. This is a poor man with no sense of security. But when he tries to find security, he starts to become crazy. His love and love have completely moved to the end of possession. He would rather bother to take care of one. The blind girl did not want her to see the world except him. The derailed husband of the hostess committed suicide and left the cornea to his wife, so that she could continue to see everything in the world. He said that he could see the entire universe in his wife's eyes, but in the end he became the universe itself. In the movie, his wife didn't go into details about his betrayal during his lifetime. Maybe the director knew that there weren't so many deaths in life, but he did have a lot of people looking for him a thousand times, and suddenly looking back, the man was in dim light.
In fact, life is like this. We will be deceived by people we trust, and we will be manipulated in the name of love. On the contrary, we may also be people who deceive or manipulate others. Desperately need the feeling of being needed. Therefore, there are no decent villains in the movie who are born as human beings, and all good and evil are born with them. Therefore, there are no good and bad people in life, who exist in the world, and each endeavors to bear it.
Darkness makes people look forward to the light, cherish the light, the violence in the darkness makes you hoarse, the gentleness in the darkness makes you try to forgive his violence. Fortunately, the end of the movie also resembles life itself, returning to the light and working hard to grow, embracing love, and seeing the universe in full view. The most rare thing in the world is to grow up with suffering, and then still run towards life with love. Anyway, the sun rotates and revolves and cannot be controlled, but it will always give you warmth at the right time.
What kind of horror is this, this is the education of love.
