It's really a great movie. The key to a good movie is whether the motivation of the characters is convincing. But this is not a movie that is too easy for people to understand the relationship and motivation of the characters, because many hidden plots require speculation by the audience.
There are four "freaks" throughout the story: grandpa, father, mother, and granddaughter (daughter). After the mother was arrested, there were only three people left, and the motivation of these three people became the key to the film. (The following content is the interpretation of the plot, please pay attention to those who do not like being spoiled)
The father thought that his mother was dead, so he only wanted to protect his daughter. He prepared for the daughter to do all kinds of mental construction, so that her daughter can be proficient in disguising normal people, and planned to send her daughter to the neighbor of the opposite door, so he has been training her daughter to be a false self and Family introduction.
My daughter has been brainwashed by her father. In addition, she has been isolated for a long time and will not get along with others. She is very selfish and always has to do whatever she wants. However, she is more successful in being brainwashed by her father and introduces herself backwards.
Grandpa only wanted to use his granddaughter as a guise to get into the "mountain" to save his mother, so he used an ice bullying car to lure his granddaughter out at the door every day, but the granddaughter was extremely difficult to control. With Harper), grandpa had no chance to instruct his granddaughter to do other things. Grandpa knew that this was the result of his father's long-term intervention, so he wanted to use his granddaughter's hand to poison the father. But after being seen through by his father, the granddaughter ran out of the house and met her grandfather. This time, grandfather had the opportunity to take her granddaughter to find an agent. In order to deceive the trust of the agents, grandpa used the name of a priest to send his adopted freak granddaughter into the mountain, trying to get into the mountains to save his mother (I don’t know if grandpa has invisible skills, so he can hide his freak’s physical signs. ). But he didn't expect that his plan completely conflicted with his father's "precautionary" education. The granddaughter went directly to the agent and refused to admit that she was a freak.
On the father's side, because the daughter was accidentally seen by the "stepmother" Nancy on the opposite side, the adoption plan was postponed, because when Nancy's family knew that the granddaughter was a freak, it meant that he had to give more money. He came to adopt him, so once his father came back from the outside and was injured, he naturally went out to grab money and had a fight with the police. But when it was really sent over, because the granddaughter had used Harper's abilities indiscriminately before, she was rejected and resisted by Harper. Nancy also saw the terrible skills of her granddaughter from this, so the adoption directly failed. And because of fear, Nancy also directly reported them to the military that night.
Going back to the granddaughter's side, the granddaughter’s skills can actually overlap the space, using a wormhole principle to fold the person in her mind into her own space. When the granddaughter later realized that this was her ability, she learned even more. How to control the people in the secondary space to prevent the people in the main space from seeing the people in the main space. Of course, she can also directly control the people in the secondary space. This can be discovered by the granddaughter controlling Harper from the beginning, but don’t mistake it for remote control because The manipulated objects are folded, and they are in the same space. Therefore, there is a prerequisite for manipulation. You can only manipulate the people in the space where the objects she can think of and actually exist. As for the size of this foldable space? Where is the upper limit? Lu Xun didn't say that the other people around the person he thought could be folded in anyway. These abilities are completely beyond the imagination of dad and grandpa (too dark technology), not only beyond the imagination of grandpa and dad, even mother once thought that she saw a ghost, thought she was really dead, and persuaded her granddaughter to ask for it. "Look forward" and go to Nancy as a mother. I knew that my granddaughter was so good, how could it be done? Everything is unexpected. I tell you what it means "plans never keep up with changes". Although the granddaughter’s skills are against the sky, she didn’t understand it at first. She is still that simple selfish child who just wants to go to South Korea. Xijia, I want to find a "mother". So Dad and Grandpa have been making wrong decisions, pushing themselves into more dangerous situations step by step.
Here are the undesirable consequences caused by father’s overprotection, and there are also consequences caused by grandpa’s efforts to save mother at all costs. In fact, the main lines of the main characters are very clear, all conflicts are reasonable and reasonable, and the characters’ motives can fully support the characters. The contradictory relationship between the granddaughter, because her father refused to admit herself, used various so-called "rules" to stifle and deny herself, and the hatred for her father expressed by the postponement of adoption are all reasonable. Particularly worthy of applause for the screenwriter is the portrayal of her granddaughter’s inner self-contradiction. When faced with dad’s pressure, she yelled "I am special." Stop emphasizing "I'm ordinary". This kind of film can accurately grasp the key points of contradictions, especially the self-contradictions of human nature, is a good film. The agent’s motives are even more obvious. Some people’s political views are to kill all the freaks, but her political views are to keep young and brainwash them for her own use, so she wants to kill her father and grandfather and turn her granddaughter into She became a weapon (not because she knows how strong her granddaughter is, but because children can brainwash it, and brainwashing must start from the doll), she herself put it on the table and said this directly to her dad without concealment.
The key is to understand that the relationship between the characters in the film is very successful. Everyone has reasonable motives and is very convincing, but people with small brains and normal hearts can't read it. If you want to mention something wrong, it must be the last granddaughter who screamed. Even the soldier C, who is not around her mother and has never met, can control it to press the door switch. This is a bit of a stretch. How can the upper limit of the folding space be so wide? Come on, it's invincible. This plot violated the common problem of similar movies-the output is all dependent on roar, and one roar is taken away. For so long, it ended with an outburst of anger, which somewhat reduced the audience's IQ.
