After reading it, it turns out that PUA has already existed. In real life, I haven't found that PUA can evolve so terribly. The plot is actually quite simple and general. If you often watch suspense movies, you can intuitively feel who the murderer is from the beginning. For example, when I first came up, I could feel that something was wrong with the hero: scolding the heroine, and his eyes glowed at the jewelry of the museum. But there are many notable places in this film.
Let's talk about the details, these details are still quite logical:
When the heroine opened the portrait of her aunt, the hero's eyes were glowing! It seems that I have never seen the hostess aunt at all! ! ! ! (This also confuses part of the audience, thinking that the male lead and female lead aunt have never met and have nothing to do with each other, but the truth is too young) Why? This reveals a huge amount of information: This shows that the male protagonist has not paid close attention to the female protagonist’s aunt’s appearance before, and has little understanding of the female protagonist’s aunt’s works and stage performances. This surprised look was obviously before he revealed it. I have never seen this performance by the hostess and aunt! ! ! ! ! So, if he is suspected of being a murderer at this time, what does this murderer do? Anyway, it's not a picture color! Some commentators thought that the male protagonist making strange noises upstairs was necrophilia. In fact, the plot clearly explained at the beginning: the male protagonist is not a picture! ! !
And there is another reason for the large amount of information: the last jewel is on the skirt. The male protagonist has not been able to find the jewels after killing someone before. It has a lot to do with the portrait (the upper skirt) of the female protagonist and aunt he has not seen! The logic is perfectly connected! ! ! ! And his bizarre vision also shows that this portrait is extremely beautiful and beautiful, and it may not be a simple portrait.
Let me talk about the second detail:
Elizabeth is deaf, and the hero is overwhelmed to prevent shrewd servants from hearing strange sounds.
And looking for a frivolous woman like Nancy as a servant, I don't know if you find out, Nancy is very snobbish. The male protagonist has the absolute right to speak at home, and the snob Nancy will only listen to the male protagonist. In addition, remember that the protagonist asked Nancy if she was frivolous from the beginning? Nancy’s focus was on hooking up with men. Later, the police officer also said that Nancy was even hitting the male host’s idea (echoing Nancy’s snobbery), which shows that Nancy is very restless and even arrogant. Zhixin, stupidly thinking that he could occupy the magpie's nest and hook up with the host to drive away his wife. And all this is quite beneficial to the male protagonist. After all, when a woman makes her own mind, she only wears a pair of trousers with herself, and treats her wife as a thorny rival in love. So Nancy is superficial and frivolous, snobbery, and she still looks down on the heroine, and even if she wants to leave the heroine later, how can she serve the heroine with all her heart? She would never be loyal and considerate to weak heroines. In this way, the female protagonist has fewer people who speak her own words and a helper, and she is completely isolated. Even if there are any doubts in my heart, there is no one who speaks intimately, and can only fall into a whirlpool of self-doubt. . . . . . . . The male protagonist has completely reached the state of controlling the female protagonist and leaving the female protagonist isolated and helpless.
There is also a detail that the male protagonist sees the jewellery in the museum with his eyes glowing, and he can even tell a lot of analysis of the jewellery. This director is really using his life for spoilers. . . . . So I said it has a general plot, and you know who the murderer is if you can't stand the scrutiny. But, this is not over yet, I want to say another advantage! That is the creation of atmosphere.
After watching a batch of really panic. Foggy London, confined residences, noble and glamorous portraits of the deceased, lost freedom, trance mistress, gothic interior decoration gorgeous psychedelic cold, yin and yang maid. The whole atmosphere reveals a harsh, unrelenting, sharp, mysterious and depressing taste, which also echoes the personality of the male protagonist.
Therefore, the male protagonist's domineering, arbitrary and gloomy personality permeates the plot all the time. It's not that the oppression and training can only be experienced when the male lead is on the stage. It is that the audience is like being choked by the male lead all the time. When I watched it, I felt physically and mentally uncomfortable, and I was immersed in the trance of whether I did something wrong like the heroine, because the audience's heart was also dazed. Coupled with the open perspective of the heroine, the audience is more able to appreciate the inner chaos of the heroine, and even feel panicked along with the heroine. The angle chosen by the shooting person also has a direct impact on the atmosphere and viewing effect of the film.
Therefore, even though I didn't see a drop of blood during the whole process, I didn't even have a horror scene, and I didn't even release the scene of the final game between the police and the male protagonist, I still felt shuddering and creepy. This is also the greatness and essence of this horror movie. The real horror is manipulating people's hearts invisible and killing without seeing blood: in the story, the male protagonist is manipulating the female protagonist, and in reality, the director is manipulating the audience. And in the end, the male protagonist just smiled gracefully, and calmly walked down the vast empty villa stairs, and gently entered the police car. The whole play ended perfectly.
