"A man with a voice that sounded like 50 years old called someone and said: 'I'm his 6-year-old concubine'"
Naishamaran's films, even if the results are not always as everyone wants, but he can deconstruct a specific theme and play with the concept to become what he wants. Therefore, "when a group of people are trapped in a space where time runs different from the outside world and accelerates aging" to discuss the more abstract concept of "time, age and life", it is already very exciting.
Obviously, the director wants to play with the concept of a spiritual time house this time, exploring the relative relationship between time and life. In the space of "half an hour is equal to a year, and a day is nearly 50 years", it can be seen that adults and children have different coping attitudes, and when children grow rapidly, the changes in values and thinking in the brain also become more mature. Neshamalan is trying to create an imaginary space with a group of sick humans, and we the audience (and the director himself) are like the scientists at Warren Pharmaceuticals in the film, watching the group of white mice, and reflecting on whether it is possible to sacrifice a human being. A small number of people achieve greater goals, the dialectics of various races in a small society, and how should we face the fast approaching of birth, aging, illness and death? (Tucao, exposing the mastermind behind the scenes, some parts are really quite wasteful to laugh, and the last GE also explained a little too much, leaving a little more space will feel more charming)
It can be imagined that part of the reason why this film will be so polar may be that aside from the above-mentioned essence, this film is actually a bloodless but a bit curious version of the torture film. Therefore, except for the protagonist's family of four, the others are all trash, unable to effectively grow their characters. Even if everything is put aside, even the "emotional repair" line of the protagonist's family is relatively weak. Fortunately, this group of strong actors perfectly supported this open-air group drama, and the two roles of Trit and Madace have three generations of age-changing castings, and the similarity is so amazing that it really feels like there is a change in time ( But I have to say that the doctor is really thunderous, the kill rate is higher than the saving rate, and then Thomason McKinsey has a lot of scenes, which is highly appreciated)
And the most worthy of praise is definitely the precise scheduling of photography and sound effects. Use shot scheduling to allow the audience to "actually see" the passage of time, or use it to understand the reactions and discussions of these people at the moment of the event. Sometimes it rotates, sometimes it pans but swings left and right, like watching the direction of the timeline, and there is no turning back. What I like most is the shot that my mother found that her ears could no longer be heard. It fits the settings of left and right swing and sound/silent, and it can be seen at a glance without any explanation.
"Time that seems to be a lifetime disappears in a flash"
PS Seeing that Naishamaran himself was a guest driver in the resort, he also helped to monitor and report the movements of this group of people. There is a kind of bad taste in which the creator is playing with the direction of his story. What about your free will? (Sorry for Loki poisoning
