Death is coming, the game begins

Choosing "Death Is Coming" was an accident. It was also an accident that I liked this movie. Like many death fans, I am now looking forward to the fourth part. I'm not a person who can watch horror movies, because I don't have such a good heart, but I always like SEAN WILLIAM SCOTT. It's hard to imagine how a person who acts in a comedy feels like in a horror movie, although I Know that he is only a supporting role. In addition to the 30 nights of doing nothing, and the encouragement of people who like horror movies around, I watched one of them, and then I couldn't wait to find the other two to watch.

Obviously, this movie is not scary. Horror movies in Europe and America have always used visual impact and soundtrack to create a terrifying atmosphere. "Death is Coming" is not the case, no matter the disaster scene or the people who died in various bizarre ways later, although some Horrible to see, but it also passed by. So is it a mental strategy like a Japanese movie? It doesn't seem to be. You didn't fall into some kind of speculation and panic because of the progress of the plot. So what's so good about "The God of Death"? It's just a novelty Another way to make this film enduring, despite repeating the same pattern.

An accident, a certain premonition, some signs, several self-help, a procedure, some conjectures, several ways to die, and finally there is no escape. This is all that death has come. There is an old saying in China: "The King of Hell will let you die at the third watch, and he will keep you until the fifth watch. In this movie, although death is postponed, what should come will always come, and no one can escape it." It's not scary, because the speed of the movie is not to affect people's nerves when death is approaching. The main point of the movie is to tell a game, but because the opponent of the game has become death, it has some kind of gloomy feeling. color. If you watch this movie for the first time, the direction in your heart is likely to be how the protagonist defeated death in the end. If the movie moves forward in this way and does not create a frightening atmosphere in the process, it will be a failure. But when you see the end or watch the second part, you will find that it is a game, you don't care about the outcome of the game, because you already know very well, you will not panic too much about the known facts, and you are more For concern is the process of the game. Just like the once brilliant Hong Kong gambling film, in fact, many of the routines are the same. In Grim Reaper, what you care about is who the male and female protagonists of the new film are replaced, where did the accident happen, and how does the final protagonist perceive it? And crack the program of death.

Of course, the movie also depicts the personalities of various characters, but it is not enlarged, so the emergence of a person's mental state in the face of death is not the point, and therefore it will not let you rise to any theoretical level, just a very simple truth, the god of death Everyone is equal in front of you, no matter whether it is good or bad, but there is another topic that can be discussed here, that is, do you choose to end your life suddenly when your heart is still and there is no warning, or you know the situation and fight for your own destiny , although the end result is the same to face death. Obviously, the former is the way of life for most of us, because we cannot predict, but if you are given the ability to predict, would you like it? However, although the latter will be very tiring to live, it can become the protagonist.

In fact, when I watched it, I could clearly feel the difference between the second and the first and third. Later, I read the information and found out that it was not a director. Basically, I still prefer the style of the first and third directors. The second one Although it is more closely related to the first film in terms of characters, the director seems to want to elevate this film to a higher level, which is actually completely unnecessary, and it also caused many doubts in the second film. Now I will briefly analyze the relationship between the first and second parts. In fact, in the first part, Carter saved Alex from being crushed to death by a billboard. Then it should be Claire's turn. Claire appeared in the second part, but Alex Dead, apparently Alex rescued Claire again, so in their set of death procedures, Claire was skipped, she became the only survivor, and then she was put into a new death procedure, which is The procedure of the second part, in fact she should be the first person to die, before everyone else in the second part, however, the heroine of the second part was rescued by the police, so the order of death was reversed, and Claire became the The last person to die, but when the second heroine was suffocated and reborn, this round of the death game was over again, and a new round began, and it was clear that Claire bore the brunt. The difference between the second film and the third film is in this point. After the end of a death procedure, the first and third films leave a suspense at the end of the movie. In fact, it tells you that a new program will start again, and the explanation is simple and clear. , while the second part tends to be tricky, complicating simple things and messing up your logical thinking.

That's right, it is precisely because the god of death has mobilized your logical thinking that it has weakened your senses and inner feelings, making it a close match with horror movies, but because death is involved, it must be projected on the dark side. But anyway, the death is coming series is indeed a very attractive movie!

Final Destination quotes

  • Carter: Well, we made it.

    Clear Rivers: Paris, I can't believe it.

    Alex Browning: I just can't believe we got on a plane again, you know what I'm saying?

  • [With cups of coffee, Alex and Clear sit down at a Espresso shop corner table]

    Alex Browning: The mortician said that Death has a design. Okay. I'm talking about omens. How do we know that just by sitting here - by, by sipping this coffee, or breathing the air, or even crossing the intersection - that we haven't even started in motion the events that will some day lead to our death: forty years from now, ten years from now, tomorrow. We don't. Unless we open ourselves up...

    Alex Browning: [as clear glances nervously at the intersection, Alex draws from his pocket the tiny slice of paper that reads "Tod" and slides it across the table to her]

    Alex Browning: ...to the signs that It's willing to show us?

    Clear Rivers: I don't understand. Did you see Tod die? Did it happen again, like on the plane?

    Alex Browning: [shaking his head] No. No, it didn't, but, I mean, it might as well have. This is a message from something, Clear, or someone - hinting at a design.

    Clear Rivers: Total bullshit. I mean, you can find death omens anywhere you want to.

    [Alex glances at the window of the Espresso shop and sees the ghostly reflection of a bus passing by. As she continues to talk, ominous music rises and Alex glances worriedly around the streets]

    Clear Rivers: Coffee. Starts with a C and ends with an E. So does the word "choke." So, what, we're going to choke to death? I wanna hear you.

    [Alex glances anxiously over his shoulder again]

    Clear Rivers: We'll go nuts if you start with this shit.

    Alex Browning: The mortician said that Death has a design. Right? Now, what if you, me, Tod, Carter, Terry, Billy, Mrs. Lewton messed up that design. For whatever reason, I, I saw Death's plan. We cheated him. But what if it was our time? What if we were not meant to get off that plane? What if it still is our time? If it is, then it's not finished, and we will die - now, not later - unless, unless we find the patterns and cheat It again.

    [Behind Alex's back, Carter drives his car up to the intersection and waits for the light. Terry is sitting next to him. Carter glances over to see Alex and Clear, and he scowls. Terry smiles at Carter, then sees them too, and her smile fades, as though fearful of a confrontation]

    Clear Rivers: After hearing you, I, I do believe...

    [Alex smiles]

    Clear Rivers: ...that Tod killed himself.

    [Alex's face turns serious]
