I am very sorry to say that I have seen this shot twice and I can't see how it was made. Maybe it is computer synthesis, but the effect is amazing. If it weren't for computer synthesis, we could call it a standard long shot. Now there are about two concepts about long shots, one is time as a reference, the other is the story or details completed in a picture, I think the director wants to give us probably the latter, this method only expresses Its authenticity is not the same as the original ecological feeling for a long time.
And this film is a horror film. As an American horror film, such scenes are rarely used, but it is very in line with the style of Japanese horror films. As a result, the author searched for information and found out that this film is a remake of a Japanese film of the same name, and the director invited is also the original Japanese director, so it is not surprising that it is so shocking, but the author is ignorant.
Going back to the film, about the sequelae produced by technology, when all information, including computer, mobile phone, TV, radio, and all wireless signals become living individuals, they begin to deprive human beings of their right to exist. Dominate this place. This is similar to Hollywood's robot resurrection. But the Japanese are superior in turning this entity into a virtual body. After all, the robot is composed of parts, and the signal is silent, like a ghost, so this has become a ghost movie.
The ghost that keeps pace with the times, I first thought of this, but I can't help but admire the creativity of Little Japan. In fact, ghost films with modern high-tech as a carrier have emerged in an endless stream in Japan, but most of them just convey the information of ghosts, and most of them use these high-end products in a human manner. But this film is different. The information of high-end products becomes a ghost. If those high-end products exist, then the ghost will always exist.
Thus, the film became a combination, that is, the ghost of the East and the high end of the West merged into one. At this time, I have a question, what is a ghost?
According to the East, ghosts are wraiths, and then there are demons that draw essence from nature. When we just talk about ghosts, they have always been nothingness, just souls, without carriers, that is, the souls of the flesh. But with the development of the times, the way of possessing ghosts that can only rely on the house, relying on the flesh and so on has been diluted, and replaced by high-tech products. Also yearning for it.
Watching Western films, especially science fiction films, after the computer was born, the intelligence generated by the machine has received extensive attention. Therefore, what we call the soul has become the intelligence of machines in Western science fiction films. This intelligence is very trustworthy, because our current life is almost impossible to get rid of computer and mobile phones and other things, so we are very awake this kind of intelligence exist. This intelligent existence is of course attached to the machine itself.
As a result, it is concluded that the present ghost is artificial intelligence.
This conclusion seems a bit funny, but when we blindly show that people have become slaves of artificial intelligence through ghost films, science fiction films, and several types of films, we will find that this conclusion is in people's subconscious. continuously strengthened. That is, the sense of crisis that human beings have begun to produce.
No matter how it is packaged, this sense of crisis is the source of the film's creativity. At this time, I don't know whether I should be thankful for the sense of crisis or should be alert to this sense of crisis. The director did not actually give a clear answer.
About the film itself, it's a pretty good thing, and the combination of Eastern and Western creativity is quite good, from the accidental suicide on campus to the panic of the whole town, the story is told logically, but one thing, the film can't help but end at the end Reminiscent of American-style zombie movies. Occupying a human city, humans can only escape, a big scene, dilapidated and chaotic, which Japanese films have never had.
But this point is still very close to the originality of the story. After all, what we see is that signals are controlling human life, and as a modern city, signals are everywhere, so the whole city is destroyed, and the whole city is destroyed. Every one of them committed suicide and died in succession is also reasonable. It's completely different from the Japanese ghost movie where only a handful of people are victimized. And the immediacy of such signals makes viewers feel inexplicable fear.
From this, it can be said that this film uses Eastern thinking to create a psychological fear for the audience, and uses Western subversive means to spread this fear, so it is a film with double fears. Worth a look.
