In fact, I saw this movie as a horror movie at first. The grayish-white grimace of the male protagonist, coupled with the weird and hazy mood, makes people feel like a horror movie.
The main content of the film is still on the line of cheating between the male and female protagonists. On this line, the main creator spent a lot of time to shape the images of the male and female protagonists, and bloodily exposed the so-called emotional essence: although men and women cheated with passion and vows, but the kind of relationship between them It's still called lust, not love.
Whether it is for the male host who turned into a ghost, or for the male host, in fact, the female host did not have the so-called true love. For the ex-husband and male protagonist, he is the role of a maid, whose main function is to take care of children and serve her husband. This kind of position without equality will naturally not produce true love. And without love, betrayal is a high probability. After that, the female lead cheated on the male lead and conspired to murder her husband. But after that, the male protagonist did not become his love. What he covets is the young body of the male protagonist, so when he is not harassed by ghosts, it is completely OK for him to live alone (he can entrust his feelings to his children). But once his life was threatened, he ran to find the male protagonist. And when his daughter abandoned him, he collapsed completely and even wanted to commit suicide.
The male protagonist is just a lifebuoy when she falls into the water.
Let's look at the male protagonist again. He and the female protagonist have an affair because he likes the body of others, not because of any soul communication. After conspiring to murder, the male protagonist comes first, and his primary consideration is always how to evade the law. In order to achieve this, he did not hesitate to separate from the heroine and kill other people to cover up his sins.
Whether it's the male lead or the female lead, there are pictures of crazy love in the film (many look ridiculous), but that kind of love has no soul. After all, they are just slaves of their own desires.
The film personally feels very meaningful for the portrayal of the male protagonist's undead. When the male master was alive, he worked tirelessly, took a bath and drank after returning home, and then went to sleep. Regular work and rest, and rarely communicate with people. And when he was conspiring to kill, he still did the same thing, and still kept his indifference to what was happening outside the window. Such a setting deeply portrays the lifeless and soulless temperament of the male protagonist. Such a walking dead naturally cannot give the heroine the love and sensual pleasure that the heroine hopes.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are still human after all. After they kill people, they are still very apprehensive about the conspiracy. This kind of apprehension is reflected in their fear of other people's gossip and their fear of the police's suspicion. This anxiety has become a burden, and it has affected their minds later (they went to the dead well where the corpses were thrown, and no corpses were found). Is it true that the body cannot be found, or is it because of mental illness that it cannot be seen? This is really unknown.
And once their sins were exposed and they were punished, their pressure was completely released, and all the pressure they had endured before turned into a crazy catharsis. Although they accepted the cruel punishment, they still shouted loudly, very high-profile. This also means that this pair of dog men and women may not regret killing at the beginning. What they care about is the world's vision, and when the world finally comes to a conclusion about their behavior, all they can do is to vent themselves in vain. of repression.
On the whole, it is a very good film. The positioning and performance of the male and female protagonists and the ex-husband are very down-to-earth and plain. Their logic is very instinctive, their performance is very natural, the audio-visual language is very advanced, and some of the pictures are more beautiful. An in-depth and complete study of human nature. But the rhythm is relatively slow, and the plot is a bit depressing. And the idiot next to the male protagonist screamed loudly without losing time, which also made people feel very uncomfortable.
