Speaking of which, I saw this movie on the movie recommendation on nga. I only knew that the movie poster was a seagull with one eye down, but I didn't have the urge to watch it. It was recommended that it was a Cthulhu-flavored movie. Interested to see it. How should I say, okay, let's talk about my impressions.
First of all, the acting skills of the actors are really good. At first, I was really familiar with and unfamiliar with these two actors. After reading the cast list, I realized that they were two very famous actors. It turned out to be Twilight Man and the old version of Spider-Man. The green monster. The acting skills of the two are really good. The young man is slowly changing from indifference at the beginning to madness at the back. The old man has been switching back and forth between calm, manic, and drunken states. It can be said that the roles The difference is very big, and the acting is also very outstanding, especially the Twilight Man, I thought it was a bit similar at first, but I didn't realize it when I looked at it later, which shows that he has made a lot of efforts to break away from the original little fresh meat character. Of course, his appearance in this film is also very handsome.
Let's talk about the plot. In short, I think Cthulhu's style is to show the fear of human beings in the face of unknown things, or to show the changes of human nature in extreme environments. The curse of blood, or the movie "The Mist", It's all Cthulhu style. At the same time, is there always a sound similar to a whistle or a trumpet, which seems to be coming from a lighthouse? In short, it's hard to listen to, there is that kind of sound pollution It reminds me of another movie
Going far, before I read the film review of the Great God, let me explain my understanding first. I read half of it at first, and I thought that the two men were actually the imagination of the same person, but later I gradually felt that they were not. Because When the old man was talking to the young man who was going crazy, he said: Maybe I am also your imagination. It makes me think that it is not, rebellious psychology? Haha. In short, the movie is full of a lot of horror elements, and it also constantly gives the audience to the audience. Brings a depressing atmosphere. The male protagonist went to the island very stiffly at the beginning, and later he accumulated unpleasantness for various reasons. There was no other way than to rush to the mermaid statue to relieve the pressure. Until he fell to death by himself a seagull After that, the situation was out of control, and everything was going in a bad direction. Trapped on the island, there was no concept of time and space, and the two gradually became confused and had to rely on alcohol to survive. In fact, I think a lot of things they said after they were drunk should be There is a lot of information hidden, but I can only understand a few things about their past, not really.
The lighthouse should mean a kind of final sanity, or the end of madness. On an isolated island, humanity is gradually lost, but the old man has been occupying the lighthouse, and already has a morbid attachment, and this time he added A young man was also interested in the lighthouse, which made the old man feel threatened, and also sparked contradictions secretly, a bit like the ring in the Lord of the Rings. However, there are really few mermaid elements, and it should be the male protagonist I'm a little disappointed because of my own psychological imagination. It would be nice if there were real monsters in the fog.
I thought falling off the lighthouse was the last scene, but when I saw the end, I was stunned again. The male protagonist lay naked on the reef and was dying, his stomach was pecked out by the seagulls, and he kept pulling it. It was very painful but there was no way. At first I thought, is the male protagonist just a dying person who fell on a reef in a shipwreck, and everything in front of him is a fantasy before his death intertwined with the memories of his life? But look closely at the last scene, the male protagonist is covered in There is no clothes on the top and bottom, and it doesn't look like the embarrassment of the shipwreck just now. In other words, I think the last male protagonist lying on the reef is not what it looks like in reality, but should represent the spirit of the male protagonist will be left forever. On this island, he was tortured endlessly.
In short, it looks quite confusing. Maybe Cthulhu's style is so confusing? However, the tone of this film is really very depressing. The scene where my stomach was being pulled alive made me feel very uncomfortable after watching it. At first, the square and black and white color scheme still made me very uncomfortable. Later, I felt that black and white was really suitable, but I didn't understand what the square lens was. It makes sense. In short, I want to give 3.5 stars but can't. I feel that if I give 4 points, it's still a bit high, then I will settle for the next best thing and give 3 points.
