Minimalist set of two men and one woman-"The Missing of Alice"
Today we will talk about the movie "The Disappearance of Alice".
The film title The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2009), alias Alice Creed (Hong Kong) / Alice Disappearance Case Book (Taiwan).
This film is a feature-length debut film written and directed by director J. Blackson. The film uses very few actors and a minimalist setting to complete an extremely interesting thriller story with many reversals.
As long as the debut works that can make a name, the works have distinct personal characteristics and merits of being praised by others. The biggest feature of this film is similar to Quinta's "Falling Water Dog". There is no complicated setting. It only relies on lines and performances to promote the plot, and finally presents an interesting story with a high degree of completion.
As the credits show, there are only three actors in "The Disappearance of Alice".
Two men and a woman live in the same room. The two men are kidnappers and the woman is the hapless kidnapped.
The elder of the kidnappers is called Victor, with a fierce face, capable of acting, and every move reveals the confidence and calmness of the repeat offender. The younger one is called Daniel, who seems to be the only one, and only Victor is the first to look forward, and he is complicated to play, similar to the role of an accomplice.
The remaining woman is Alice mentioned in the title. She is a rich daughter, and her father is very rich, but her relationship with her father is not so good, and she seems very rebellious.
The main scene of "The Disappearance of Alice" is also very simple. It is an airtight house. Most of the time, two men and a woman spend most of the time in this house, plus a car and an abandoned warehouse at most.
At the same time as the simple setting, the film also takes care of the heavy taste and bad taste. Cross-dressing, imprisonment, bondage, humiliation, wild... It seems that these extremely eye-catching labels can be used in this film. And after watching the feature film, the audience will not feel that there is a trace of the title party, these elements are expressed in detail in the film.
The most eye-catching is the plot of the film. The plot is also like a set, which is very simple at first glance. The kidnappers orchestrated the kidnapping of Alice and asked for two million in cash from Daddy Alice.
From the first second of the film, the sharp editing instantly captured the audience, and the experienced and capable kidnappers foretell that they will have a big case. So from the beginning of the film, the suspense was established.
The plots that followed were even more reversal. Whenever I thought that things could go on smoothly, there would be a little worrying situation. The little suspense has never stopped, as large as the entire kidnapping case, as small as a bullet case, you can play new tricks.
A good script is half the battle. The excellent script of "The Disappearance of Alice" is the foundation of the film's success. The film continues to introduce new suspense and slowly accumulates the audience's emotions until the final climax is completely vented, and the overall feeling is hearty.
Finally, returning to the title "The Disappearance of Alice", after the three people had a suspenseful operation, in the end, Alice still disappeared...
For this kind of film that emphasizes reversal, the audience only needs to look for it by the name of the photo. Do not watch those spoiler-style detailed explanations. The so-called detailed explanations are retelling the whole story without nutrition, and the audience will have no fun in watching the movie.
All the little suspense, little reversal, the audience must experience the movie immersively to experience it.
Two men and one woman minimalist set,
Suspense keeps turning around.
