If you only judge this film on the basis of the most popular "visual" horror, you can only give a perfect score of 10 points to about 3 points!
But, have you ever thought about the meaning of those visual garbage that shocked you?
Was it that Zuo Uncle Coconut who was covered in blood crawling downstairs frightened you, or was Takahashi Sadako, who was disheveled out of the well and climbed out of the TV, made you take a breath? Or is the redemption of beauty and desire Fujiang that makes you shudder? Or did the rancid zombie that only pop up suddenly scared you? These may really scare you, honorable! However, in my opinion, this is just a visual waste. . . .
Perhaps, saying this will cause some people's dissatisfaction. Because of what? hehe! Because we don’t understand horror enough!
Horror is not enough just to stimulate blood and nerve sensitivity.
The Shining gives a realm. If you don't understand it, you can't understand it naturally.
From the opening, it is not difficult to see that the protagonist is a white man. And there are many black Indians interspersed in the movie! why? The director wants to explain more than just a historical issue of genocide! It involves the ugliness of humanity and intellectuality of all mankind! The forced relocation of a family of three in the film turns the problem from unrealistic into reality. The blood rushing from the line of sight is the deep self-blame that white people have had since childhood. That kind of anxiety and self-blame is that the film hardly uses dark tones, but is very bright! However, that kind of light showed more and more an empty background. The whole mansion is a kind of emptiness and loneliness. That kind of loneliness is the loneliness that white people felt when they stood in black territory and killed all black people. That kind of tragic flesh-and-blood history has transformed into the source of the deepest fear in every white man's heart.
And that little boy is the innocent representative of the erosion of the entire world! Illustrates a kind of revenge. A kind of vengeance that seems to appear to be nothing!
Perhaps you have also noticed those two little girls! Yes, they are demons. However, it is not a symbol of evil. It may be contradictory to say that, but this is the fact. There are contradictions in the white and black world, but there is no evil. They symbolize people's inner ambition after killing.
The layers of the film progress, making every white man who understands its meaning really shudder. The mother and son walked through the big maze, and the father looked at them in the model, as if the white man thought he could see the fate of the black man as proud. But the result? In order to hunt down the child, the father froze to death in the so-called fate. Isn't this ironic? I believe that every Indian who sees there will shed tears or feel sad. Because that symbolizes the cruelty and blasphemy of mixed blood. In order to survive, blacks have to marry whites, mate, and give birth to mixed races. This is a blasphemy of the soul.
The climax may be that the father desperately chased and killed the mother, and the mother desperately escaped seeing all the weird scenes the son had said before. There are female carrion in the bathtub in room 237. Someone saw a white man wearing a wolf coat and showing his butt to help the white man "oral sex" in her husband's bedroom. And piles of bones in the lobby!
Among them, 237 represents the temporary 237 days when the United States occupied Indian "paradise".
The white man in the wolf coat and butt is a symbol of the director's contempt for the white man. Oral sex is the most obscene action in sex. Let all the audience understand that the white people are also indecent.
The bones need no explanation. It was the so-called high-class people who were poisoned to death by alcohol in the mansion.
At the end, the mother took her son and left, and the father died in the maze. People will feel a kind of sadness, a kind of deepest coldness in human nature. At the last moment, his father regained his sanity and his life came to an end. In the maze of black holes, there were countless pairs of cold eyes staring at his father's body from time to time, just as cruel as the cold society. . . .
