But it surprised me that I didn't fast forward a bit for more than four hours. Although I can't say that I was completely absorbed, the plot time of this movie still passed quickly. To be precise, this is not a movie, but a short episode. From the name of the movie, you can know that the protagonist of the story is ROSE RED. This is a beautiful mansion. Even since it was not built, many people have died for it. Its mistress disappeared, and the hero died bizarrely. For many years, women have been missing in it, and men have died bizarrely (the house has sexism). The story begins with a little girl named Annie. This girl with autism has strong spiritual power and can control the things around her for her own use. Ten years later, a college psychology teacher Joyce was fascinated by ROSE RED. She hired six people with different abilities to come to ROSE RED, wanting to wake up this sleeping haunted house to prove the existence of superpowers. A group of nine people, the old man who can predict the future, the old woman who knows how to write immortals, the handsome old man who knows the mind-reading, and the bankrupt poor who can see the beauties of the past, can see the ghosts, plus the current owner of the house. It's another psychic Steve, our little girl Annie and her kind-hearted sister, and finally our persistent beautiful teacher, we all enter this house where we can grow on our own. In fact, the story is not complicated. It is the story of these nine people in the house for three days and three nights. If you look at this film nearly ten years ago from your current perspective, you will think that the plot is not good enough, and the actor's makeup and props are not real enough ( In fact, several times I saw the ultimate boss come out, I laughed), but the film did not use blood to create horror, more importantly, let the actors take us to explore this beautiful living house Rose RED.
There was a scene in which I was particularly impressed. It was the first night after entering the house that everyone was talking about the past of ROSE RED by the fireplace. At this time, on the monitor of the machine used to record the number of people next to it, the number of people displayed continued to rise. Here is Quiet and peaceful scene, and we watched the numbers continue to rise behind the screen. At that time, I really had the impulse to shout, it was a panic. There are many similar scenes. I think that the reason why I didn't doze off for such a long time is the screenwriter and the original author. Stephen. Kim's plot design makes you forget the time. Just like "The Shawshank's Redemption", I think it's good to tell several stories about the past in this house during the film. Another point is that this is a continuous horror scene. I was worried that the plot would be procrastinated because of the long time. However, due to the connection, I found that I had neglected the time during the movie.
Finally, I want to talk about where there is nothing but fear. Because of the abundance of time, the film has a lot of space to show the character of the characters. Take Anne's family, for example, at first I thought my mother was afraid of Anne, and my father hated Anne, and only my sister cared about Anne. But when I saw the words my father said when he prevented my sister from taking Anne to Rose RED, I found out that my father also cared about Anne, but he didn't know how to deal with this too powerful child. There is also the poor bankrupt, facing the profligate mother, he can only comfort himself by eating butter, and shouting "not there" in the face of the ghost that suddenly appears. There is also a kind sister, worried about Annie's future, thanks to Steve and so on. There was also the female professor Joyce, who is very important to her academics, and she was dating the owner of Rose RED. When Steve asked her if they were not the owner of the house, would they possibly be together, Joyce was silent. . I think this has already told us what she desires in her heart, so in the end her paranoia left her in ROSE RED. Of course the most beautiful is Annie. She is an important role in awakening ROSE RED. She is very simple, pure enough to rely on being immersed in her own world and living in her own joy and anger. When she was happy, she made the wheels of the bicycle spin, and when she was angry, she called an unknown stone to hit ROSE RED, which she didn't like. At the end of the film, when Annie put the red rose at the door of ROSE RED with a beautiful smile on her face, she was already able to communicate with people, she was kind of tender.
In the red rose symbolizing "Remember", the film is over, and only the ghosts in ROSE RED are seen looking at the outside world.
After watching the movie, it made me want to see the original. I think the original must be more atmospheric than the movie, because it is a film we made in our minds for ourselves. Interested comrades can go and see for themselves~
