Sometimes it's really hard for me to judge whether some already disgusting things become more disgusting and terrifying when they become black and white, or whether the visual impact is weakened. You may think that the original blood-splashed image would be easier to accept if it were turned into black and white? In fact, this is not the case when watching this film. The sense of horror has not weakened at all, but it has become darker and colder. While visually grueling, it's nothing compared to what the two protagonists suffer. When watching it, I only feel that the two actors really paid a lot for the film, and it is hard to imagine what they experienced in some scenes. He threw himself into a shit hole and was driven into a madman. I feel that Rob Pattinson is very involved in the performance, and he put away his shy smile, regardless of appearance and voice, he is out of himself, and it is guaranteed that you will feel his sadness and pain from beginning to end. I do agree that both male leads deserve the Oscars for their acting, but I definitely don't want to see this movie a second time. Even I don't think it's for everyone, it's very experimental, it seems too convulsive, and you keep asking yourself while watching: "Why am I torturing myself with such a crazy and nauseating movie?!
