You have to guess a woman's mind, if you don't guess, you'll die in ignorance

I have watched a lot of thrillers with children as the protagonists. The ratio of good to bad is about 1:9, and "Orphan" is obviously 1. In recent years, thriller films have been made like comedy films, which is a heart disease of Hollywood. I can't blame the audience for being too scared, but I can blame myself for relying too much on computer special effects. , or the sound and light come together, mistakenly equating visual shock with psychological pleasure. And Hitchcock's horror, which relies on rigorous narrative and tight lens editing, is almost extinct in Hollywood. On the contrary, the second-tier movie countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand have produced many first-tier thriller classics that still make my heart skip a beat in retrospect, but after the Asian thriller was remade by Hollywood, it was completely different. It seems that it is even a little funny. For example, the Hollywood version of "The Grudge" is simply a practice of the original work, and it is also filmed for II. It is not enough to practice it once.

The success of "Orphan" shows that if the Hollywood classmate is serious, he is still the best in the school. It's just that this life is used to being pampered, and it's too easy to fall into the bad mood of self-adoration. I don’t know how many scripts Hollywood produces every year, let’s say it’s 10,000, and then distribute it like this: 3,000 for action, 2,000 for comedy, 2,000 for science fiction, 2 for literature and art, and 1,000 for thriller. In a thousand books, can't you find a particularly good one? It's absolutely impossible. There are a lot of gold medal screenwriters in Hollywood. If they can't even deliver a decent thriller a year, that's a real thriller! With "Orphan", in the rest of the year, if someone says that their horror movie is better than it, then I don't watch it ("2012" is not a thriller, it is classified as a sci-fi category). This scene has to be right on the heels of Hitchcock's version of "The Psycho" and Shyamalan's "Sixth Sense" to be a well-deserved No. 3 on my personal thriller list, which turns out to be starring Nick Kidman. 's "Frightening Island".

Is there anyone who recommends movies more kind than me? Because it is too worth watching alone, I will not tolerate any spoilers. Even if I have a thousand words to watch, I have to keep it to myself. Alas, this feeling is actually very uncomfortable. For the play, I only extracted one sentence after watching: You have to guess the mind of a woman, if you don't guess, you will die unclear. In addition, the two Chinese translations of this film, I think "orphan resentment" is much better than the literal translation of "orphan". If you are smart enough, you can find some clues from this translation.

In addition (I admit that I am a chatterer), I hope that after watching the play, if possible, I will find two films to watch, one is McCawley King (the kid from "Home Alone") in the movie. In 1993's "The Good Son" (translation: baby boy), although the horror index is less than half of "Orphan", I am 100% sure that the screenwriter of "Orphan" has referenced many bridges in it, such as creating roads. Traffic accidents, tree house loot. And it is Elijah Wood who played with McCarley King when he was young, so you must not miss it. The other is the previous thriller "House of Wax" (translation: Wax Museum of Horror), a horror film by director Jaume Collet-Serra, which is a special effects thriller to be exact.
