[The Girl Who Turned the Sheet Music]
Director: Danny Decourt Starring: Caterina Ford Debonne Lançois Year: 2005
Melanie is the daughter of a butcher shop owner. Her family is not well-off, but her parents Still support her to learn piano. During a piano exam, the judge, Mrs. Fochester, hated the exam room after she was distracted by an autograph for a fan who broke in. Melanie never played the piano again. Years later, by chance, Melanie worked as a nanny at Mrs. Foster's house and began her revenge...
This is a true horror film, and it belongs to the Japanese horror. The so-called Japanese-style terror is that the victims are often good people or at least not bad people, but they are killed because of some small mistakes of their own. Mrs. Folchester was one of those people who wouldn't say a good person, but certainly not a bad person. Her only mistake was signing an autograph for that fan in the exam room, which distracted Melanie. The fact that Mrs. Foster is not a bad person is based on the autograph: before she entered the examination room, there is a small detail. The fan who broke into the examination room actually asked Mrs. Foster for an autograph at that time. , Mrs. Foch said to her at the time: "I'm sorry, not now!" This shows that Mrs. Foch is not a person who loves vanity. As for her autograph for that fan in Melanie's examination room, it is definitely not Because "it's okay now", but because she wants that fan to go out quickly, so as not to affect Melanie's exam for a long time.
It's a pity that the psychologically fragile Melanie was still affected. When she came out of the exam room, Melanie's personality changed: she looked coldly at another candidate who was playing the piano, and suddenly slammed down the piano cover. If the candidate didn't respond quickly, her hands would have been broken. It's impossible.
Therefore, many years later, Mrs. Furchester was met with revenge by Melanie's madness, and it was a great injustice: it would be just as good as a donkey's liver and lungs, but it would be too terrifying to destroy the happiness of Mrs. Foster's family.
Who dares to say that he didn't offend anyone unintentionally? Who can guarantee that there are no madmen among the people he has offended? After watching the movie and thinking about these two questions, anyone will shudder.
In this sense, the setting of the horror situation in this film has won the essence of Japanese horror films, and it is still very successful.
But the advantages of the whole film are only this, too many coincidences in the plot (the boss of Melanie's internship company happens to be Mrs. Foster's husband, and it happens that their son needs someone to take care of, and the employee who originally took care of the son just can't go, It happened that the girl who turned the piano score for Mrs. Foch was gone, Mrs. Foch was in a car accident and suffered from "stage fright", and Mrs. Foch was a potential homosexual) and Melanie played the opposite. The perverted "illustration"-style performance (perpetually gloomy) makes the film badly hurt.
