Mystery Village Mystery

Intermittently, I finally finished watching The Village by American Asan M. Night Shyamalan. I watched it for less than half an hour and put it aside. I really couldn't stand his usual realistic style, and sometimes the details were too realistic. When thinking of your brain as multithreaded surfing the web, there are no extra threads to handle a slow-paced movie.

I have seen two films of this Indian director, one is The Sixth Sense, which was born out of nowhere. Unfortunately, I didn't see any taste, because I was shamelessly spoiled! ! ! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~ The second part is "Signs of the Sky". The previous filming was very good. The suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere was well adjusted, but as soon as the final villain, the alien, appeared, the whole film immediately became a third-rate farce.

The same is true this time. When I picked up and watched this film again after a few months, I felt the same as the previous hour, which reminded me of "Signs of the Sky" involuntarily. In this quiet and peaceful and mysterious village that looks like a paradise, there is always a feeling that disaster is coming at any time. There is a monster outside the village whose name cannot be mentioned. There is a sense of crisis that suddenly strikes with fear.

The monster showed its side in the first half, making people feel that Xiao Xu was disappointed, not the cruel kind. But the whole story doesn't actually mean a person fighting a monster is similar to the plot of "Tian Omen".

The director's appeal should be good. The sixth sense is Bruce Willis, and Tian Zhao is Mel Gibson. I am not familiar with the heroine of this film. The male characters are famous for each game. No. 1 is Joaquin Phoenix, who has played a role. The bad prince in the fighter, Adrien Brody No. 2, the pianist and King Kong, even Michael Pitt, all showed a small face in this movie.

To sum up the statement, this film is better than "Tian Zhao", and better than the average horror films, thrillers and suspense films on the market, because after watching it, you will still think about it and aftertaste it, but you have to clean it up and not be It takes two hours to read it slowly, which will make you feel that it is worth watching.

Rating: 1 star
