It's a formulaic ghost movie that doesn't break through in a scary way. The plot is also very general, the only surprise is that I shake a burden later, and it turns out that Ping, not Bao, died during the operation. To say it was a surprise is actually an exaggeration, because the story involving twins is nothing more than manipulating who is who and confusing the identities of the two.
The worst thing about this movie is that it always uses the sound to scare people. A ghost movie that only sounds scary is a failure. In fact, no need for a ghost, if you suddenly jumped out and shouted in my ear, I would be scared too. A successful ghost movie makes people feel scared when they think about it after watching it, but at the moment when I write this article, I think of the pictures and scenes of "Lonely Siamese", but I don't feel scared at all. To be precise, I didn't feel the horror of Siamese for a moment after I left the cinema. I just think of a very cold cold humor, solitary. Solitary odor is body odor. Siamese Solitary Smell must be very stinky, at the same level as this movie.
When I watched "Ghost Ten" before, I was so scared that I shrank on the stool. The girl next to her didn't change her face. For a long time after watching "Hell Ten", I was a little scared when I walked through the pedestrian tunnel and went home. I was afraid that an umbrella would suddenly float or a basketball would bounce. I didn't even dare to bend over to look back.
"Siamese Soul" attempts to explore some profound themes through ghost films. Obviously, its theme is about promises. Putting this theme on a pair of conjoined sisters, it's not bad, but the change in the final attitude of the hero and heroine, from a long-term lover to a life-and-death enemy, is really unreasonable. The friends who went to see them together felt the same way. She said that the relationship between lovers started out because of love. After being together for many years, it should become a family relationship. There is no reason to fight to the death. My opinion is different. Although the person is not the person he originally intended, can the relationship that the two have built together for so many years can only be explained by family affection?
Finally, "Siamese Lonely Soul" finished the whole story without any suspense. The audience will suddenly realize that they have been tricked in. This isn't a ghost movie at all.
Speaking of ghost films that try to explore profound themes, it is inevitable to think of "Ghost Domain" ("Ghost Domain"), directed by the Peng brothers and starring Li Xinjie.http://cow.hkbloggers.org/233 ). I always thought that "Ghost Realm" is not an authentic ghost movie, and even "Ghost Realm" is not the realm of ghosts at all. But it was successful, at least I think so. Many ghost films try to bring themselves closer to reality, so that the audience can't help but immerse themselves in it. For example, "Ghost Ten" has done a good job in this regard, which has caused me to have a long-term fear. But Ghostland is not like that. The ghost realm is fundamentally fictional, dreamy, and very close to our dreams. If dreams are also a part of reality, then "Ghostland" is very real, and that fictional world is no different from our dreams. However, I can only say that my dreams are like that, and I don't know what other people's dreams are. I believe that the Peng brothers should study dreams.
Where both "Ghost Domain" and "Ghost Ten" are more successful than "Lonely Souls" is that they both leave room at the end and do not finish the story. "Conjoined Souls" gave the "standard answer" and gave the ending. The audience does not need any imagination, but only needs to step out of the theater and go to the toilet.
There is also a very "formula" in "One Piece", that is, the heroine is a "formula" Thai beauty. When you see the heroine, you basically think of Thailand. I found that there are several countries where the beauties are more formulaic. Besides Thailand, the other one that is more widely known is Korea.
I don't recommend everyone to watch "Siamese Soul", don't have any illusions about it. It should be better to save money and watch "The Nineteenth Layer of Hell". However, if you find that "The Nineteenth Hell" is not good-looking, don't blame me, I just watched the trailer.
