This amnesia setting is actually the biggest failure...

Maybe you have a very deep metaphor, but the way of expressing it is a little bit less meaningful. It is rather boring, and it is not a horror movie...

And the most unacceptable thing for me is, why do you want to set the heroine in white to suddenly remember at the end that she is actually an underground person? And the lady in red doesn't tell others that she is actually on the ground? This amnesia setting makes both parties have insufficient motives. The villain actually has amnesia and then recalls his own strategy. I would rather be the heroine in white halfway to restore memory, and then the strategy is revealed. In this way, the motivation for the conflict in the process will be more intense, and finally After a round of fierce battles, you still win in white. At the end, you tell the heroine the cruel fact that you have been ripped off, so that you can achieve the feeling of trying your best, but still losing, and the ending will be much darker...

Now the white-clothed female protagonist is confused and doesn't remember anything. 99% of the motivations in the front are very decent. Although the ending is a reversal, it is obvious that there is no such demon to stop the female protagonist through layers of schemes, and finally recall all the The point of the plan, the victorious feeling of evil running through the whole film... Although the heroine is the evil side, the motivation of the whole film is very passive, and the reversal of the ending is a little weak, but it is just a little bit related to the beginning...

    nice! The typical master-slave dialectics film can make new ideas, and it will be wonderful before revealing this layer. In comparison, Get Out is really far behind. This is to use reality to unearth the sense of terror, not to resort to religion (or spirituality). The two worlds on the ground and the underground, I think it is impossible to be such a distinct entity. It can be seen from the simplest mirror setting that this is obviously talking about the relationship between independent consciousness and dependent consciousness, and it can also be read as an allegory of technology (I have always been afraid of technologies such as cloning and copying. ). Then add Peele's black point of view to examine the political climate, which is very interesting. The most commendable thing is that at the end of the special American-style disaster movie (Escape by car), it is not the white family that represents the US, but the black family that Us and Them are no longer separated! what does this mean! But these thoughts and interpretations about skin color were only touched after watching the movie. Race and skin color were not considered during the movie. Under Peele's lens, the audience can "get accustomed to black".

    A story that is not logically self-consistent. There is a group of clones who look and act the same as those on the ground, and finally come to the ground to kill people one day. Who makes the clones, who runs them, and how do they live? It's hard to justify it. The protagonists and the villains have an IQ and are extremely mentally retarded. The film has a slow pace. I really don't know why the score is so high.

    Ophelia: OK. Playing "Fuck tha Police" by N.W.A.

  • Red: Once upon a time, there was a girl and the girl had a shadow. The two were connected, tethered together. And the girl ate, her food was given to her warm and tasty. But when the shadow was hungry, he had to eat rabbit raw and bloody. On Christmas, the girl received wonderful toys; soft and cushy. But the shadow's toys were so sharp and cold they sliced through her fingers when she tried to play with them. The girl met a handsome prince and fell in love. But the shadow at that same time had Abraham, it didn't matter if she loved him or not. He was tethered to the girl's prince after all. Then the girl had her first child, a beautiful baby girl. But the shadow, she gave birth to a little monster. Umbrae was born laughing. The girl had a second child, a boy this time. They had to cut her open and take him from her belly. The shadow had to do it all herself. She named him Pluto, he was born to love fire. So you see, the shadow hated the girl so much for so long until one day the shadow realized she was being tested by God.
