About blackening and whitening

After reading all the short comments and comments, I found that many people were complaining about the whitewashing of a nanny in the last film and the blackening of the female neighbor Melanie in the last film. In fact, it is not enough for the plot. It feels as if the director took the film as a series and missed the key episodes. This reversal mode of whitewashing and blackening in Hollywood has been around for a long time. The good-looking compilation is the work of the gods, the bad ones are rubbish, and the plot collapses.

In fact, apart from other factors (the screenwriter has changed), from the perspective of the possibility of plot development alone, the blackening of female neighbor Melanie is reasonable.

Only from the content analysis seen in the first movie, we will find that Melanie is a very smart little girl and very knowledgeable. But precisely because of this, she indirectly pitted the actor severely.

It can be said that the male protagonist will face being chased and killed by cultists, and it is all related to her foul. Melanie first reminded the male protagonist that the female sitter would mess around with her boyfriend in his home after he fell asleep. This sentence is equivalent to expressing two meanings in one breath: First, the female sitter must have a boyfriend. Second, the nanny is not as perfect as it seems on the surface. After provoking a few sentences, she can wait for the protagonist to verify the authenticity. This is a scheming girl, a green tea bitch. Sure enough, the male protagonist began to pay attention to his babysitter, and also prepared to go to bed late to uncover the truth.

After going to bed at night, the actor told Melanie that someone had come into her home. Melanie immediately sent the word orgy to remind the pure actor that this was a licentious party, and she repeatedly urged the actor to peep. These all further stimulated the male protagonist's desire to investigate clearly, and ultimately indirectly led to the male protagonist's death dilemma.

When we go back to the source, we will find that all of what Melanie did was largely to satisfy her own gossip mentality, even because of jealousy towards the female nanny.

All these scheming and wrists are hidden under her cute loli appearance, then when this girl grows up, is it possible that this girl will become a cheating green tea bitch? I think it is very likely.

And Melanie's family will not give her much positive influence, let her choose to be a good person. In the beginning of the movie, Melanie hoped that her father would take the lead actor along for a while, but because her father hated the lead actor, she didn’t take it. Melanie didn’t fight it at all, even though she had always To complain about her father in front of the actor shows that Melanie is not the kind of person who offends others for the sake of a good friend. She doesn't have much loyalty. This shows her selfish character.

Some people may say that I overinterpreted it. After all, Melanie was only 12 years old in the first movie, and it may not be that bad in the future. In fact, I just pointed out a kind of thinking and a possibility. Not everyone is how they were when they were young, and how they are when they grow up. Many people will have huge changes in the process of growing up. Sometimes such changes are good. Sometimes it is very bad.

At the end of the first movie, the kiss between Melanie and the actor actually didn’t make much sense. I personally think it’s more of a suspension effect. It’s normal for girls to admire heroic boys. The point is Can this kind of moving last? It may not be able to continue, because there are too many unexpected factors.

So when we watched the second movie, Melanie found a quarterback who bullied the actor to be her boyfriend. In fact, it can be said to be a completely reasonable development. Who stipulated that childhood sweethearts must be together? We like to see this kind of childhood sweethearts in movies. Isn't it because there are so few examples of this kind of childhood sweethearts being together at the end?

So for these two reversals in the second movie, I think Melanie's blackening is a good plot design, but it was not shot well during the filming, and it was not enough.

And everyone is worried about Melanie’s darkening, more because of the cuteness of the actress who played Melanie. If it’s the black fat man who bullied the actor in the first movie, everyone will have Is it such a big reaction? I don't think there will be any.

As for the whitewashing of the nanny, I personally think that it is too far-fetched, and it is almost impossible to make it happen. Unless you make a rumor, explaining how the female nanny went from a good person who sold her soul to save a girl to a murderous demon, and then changed such a movie after meeting the male protagonist, maybe it can barely be possible. .

This may be related to the religious thoughts of foreigners, (for example, if you sell your soul, you will fall), so we Eastern audiences have no way to understand this whitewashing routine.
