The Ring

After watching both of them, they didn’t scare me... Maybe it’s because I watched them in broad daylight... Compared to the Japanese version with a fresher color tone, the US version is really black with reflections, and the two most impressed me in the whole. The bad point is the heroine's son and the heroine. Her son has changed from a sense of absence in the original version to a demigod. The smell of the child in the "shining" can be foreseen by the heroine's cousin a week ago. At that time, I never watched the video tape, and the movie ended without explaining why. The female ghost guided him to draw clues about where his body was, but! ! ! After watching the movie, I thought about it. She would die if she couldn't find it. Why did she want her body to be found? ? The original female ghost was a supernatural person during her lifetime, and could kill people by her mind. The American version did not go deep into the female ghost during her lifetime. The brief summary is that she was killed by her adoptive mother (Isn’t this a feudal superstition? The film criticizes feudal superstitions)), the original heroine’s son watched the video because the heroine’s cousin’s ghost told him to watch it. The American version was simply "can’t sleep" and it was too abrupt, and I was scared of the original version. It’s a pity here. After so many years, the water in the well has paid off very well. There are corpses in it. The turbidity of the Japanese version is decent. The atmosphere is not more tense than the original version. The video tape has a lot of shots added, with mixed reviews. I think it’s a bit mentally polluted. It’s not as good as the original version. The female ghost’s face is not as scary as the original version with only one eye. Apart from these, there are still many breakthroughs than the original version, such as adding The image of water, alluding to the water in the well, catching flies from the video tape, and also corresponding to the last classic climb out of the TV passage. These plots make me feel that this version is more complete than the full version. All in all, I think this remake It was very successful, at least not at the scene of a car accident like the American version of "The Grudge"

The Ring quotes

  • Dr. Grasnik: She wanted a child more than anything, poor Anna. They tried hard for years, but sometimes it's just not meant to be. Then one winter they went away, when they came back it was with Samara, adopted they said, never said from where; said the mother died of complications. But they had their baby, they had their horses, everything was fine, until Anna started coming to see me. Said she was suffering visions, seeing things, horrible things, like they'd been burned inside her. And it only happened around Samara, like the girl put them there.

    Rachel Keller: Were you Samara's doctor too?

    Rachel Keller: Was there anything wrong with her?

    Dr. Grasnik: You mean medically?

    Rachel Keller: I mean whatever you mean.

  • Noah: [Referring to the tape] Look I'm sorry but I'm not gonna get all hung up on some high schooled rumor.

    [Rachel gives him a weird look]

    Noah: What are you thinking?

    Rachel Keller: I'm thinking this is the part where I tell you that you're a slug who never finishes anything and then you say I'm an obsessive bitch. Then I storm out all pissed off, kicking myself for ever thinking that you could just GROW UP!
