No more boring American horror movies

I watched a film today that made me feel the most terrified and terrified of my entire life.
The only thing I did while watching the second half was to refrain from rushing out of the classroom to throw up. . .

Before watching it, I had a preset in my heart that multiplied the fear in my heart.

In the last 10 minutes, the camera was too shaky and the speed was too fast. I could only see the little black handprints and strange symbols of the children. I kept going upstairs and downstairs. I looked down at my notes and Q&A paper, and forced myself to look up. The screen, and quickly looked away. In the final scene, seeing Mike facing the wall, every bit of his physiology is strongly stimulated: the match between the legend and the sight, Heather's distorted scream, the guesswork behind her. . . Memory, hearing, vision, imagination, the fear in my heart has reached its peak. . .

After reading, everyone in the classroom turned green, and no one said a word.

After leaving the classroom, the road was being built on 6th street, and a construction worker watched me walk by like a wandering spirit. . .

Class discussion on the second day:


"Jouissance" is a French word, there is no direct corresponding word in English, it is similar to "pleasure", but "pleasure" only means "pleasure" and cannot reflect A special definition of "jouissance". It actually represents the pleasure that people experience when breaking a certain precept, or breaking the routine, such as drug use, or dreaming, because people often break through their social identity when dreaming.

Many Americans can experience "jouissance" in the movie, such as the scene of the vehicle chase, or the scene of wiping the neck. Today's class discusses the "Jouissance" that came out of watching The Blair Witch Project. Some people say that in the last few minutes, the scene in front of the protagonist matches the legend. Some people say that they saw little people made of branches hanging in the forest. I said, it was the feeling that gradually went against my expectations in the process of watching. Because the presupposition in my heart is that this is a documentary, which is true, and the ending must be that nothing is discovered and nothing is left, and more and more supernatural events occur, eroding my expectations indefinitely, until In the last scene, the psychological bottom line was completely broken, which is why the strong excitement of yesterday (sounds like orgasm, hahahaha~~ The original meaning of the word Jouissance is that...).

Several symbols:
1. Map: Links the protagonists with their past and the modern society behind them. It is also a representation of power, because maps are drawn by authority. It can also be interpreted as knowledge, because for the interpretation of the map, knowledge is required.
2. Forest: (so complicated~~) Uncivilized, unconscious. . . Everyone said one, many, many explanations. . . But no one says death, explained in connection with the house, can be explained as death.
3. Shi Tui: Is it an important hint, the meaning of burial?
4. The creek: represents hope, life, the watershed between reality and non-reality.

    True or false? Compared with the content in the video, the marketing method of the film is more eagerly praised. The form of DV has been continuously surpassed in the following years, and the horror of the protagonist facing the wall at the end of the film is not worth mentioning.

    This genre is enough to watch, and "The Cloverfield File" is even better
