It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a thriller that suits me so well in terms of content and audio-visual language. I’m so arrogant that I feel like I can get every cliché or bad taste or hysterical or illogical plot from the director. Smile and shot design!
The director has maintained his consistent (it may not be inappropriate to say that only two films) personal style, placing the black characters in a designed opposition relationship with reality that is subtly dislocated, implicitly speaking (scolding) the vernacular, and absolutely Mingzhen has the same purpose, but it is much more mature and bold than the former in the ability to control the language of the film and the presumptuous degree of expression. The treatment in some places can still see traces of him in the short film period of the black brothers, which makes people feel more intimate.
The ending of the film, for viewers who have ptsd on the twins' trick, will basically fail when they see the same character at the beginning of the film. Under this premise, all the foreshadowings are obvious, so when you see the two little girls in the dark The plot of the encounter in the underworld (but I thought it was not exchanged) has the effect of inspiring the awakening of the underground girl's soul and making her transform into the "God" of the ethnic group in ballet and become the starting point of the revolution. Amazed.
However, at the end of the film, I was still reluctant to give up this design, and turned back suddenly, which made people somewhat disappointed, and wanted to say that it fell into a vulgarity that many third-rate thrillers are unavoidable. But on second thought, the ending corresponds exactly to the theory stated by Red that the reason why the underground people are like walking dead is that they are not copied to the human soul, and this setting shows that it is not the case. Resources, education, and social environment are the only way to reverse the identity of the two. Basically, so I can buy it.
Oh yeah, Now I'm a formal fan of Jordan Peele.
