Still a thriller like M. Knight Shamaran
Tyrel 2022-03-20 09:01:09
Director Nate Shamaran's grasp of the horror elements in movies has always been what I admire the most. He always likes to use subtle and unique shooting techniques and light and shadow effects to render a kind of horror that can penetrate into your pores in an unusually calm environment. This kind of horror has reached its peak in the movies "Observations" and "Sixth Sense". Even though this film is not a movie with horror as its selling point, the film still inherits the director’s consistent unique grasp of shooting details and horror rendering. The only regret is that the story of the film is still slightly thin, and I give it a three-and-a-half-star rating.

David Dunn: Okay, I got you a seat in the yellow section. It's in the nosebleeds, but at least you won't get spit on.
Elijah Price: How'd you know the guy you bumped was carrying a weapon?
David Dunn: I don't know. Maybe it was the camouflage Army jacket he was wearing. Those guys like to carry hunting knives and stuff for show.
Elijah Price: You thought he was carrying a knife?
David Dunn: I thought he was carrying something, yeah.
Elijah Price: But not a knife.
David Dunn: ...I got a picture of a... silver gun with a black grip... tucked in his pants. You know, like on TV?
Elijah Price: You have good instincts for things like that?
David Dunn: Like what?
Elijah Price: Knowing when people have done something wrong?
David Dunn: Yeah.
Elijah Price: Have you ever tried to develop it?
David Dunn: I don't know what you're asking me.
Elijah Price: Your skill.
David Dunn: Look, I gotta be down on the sidelines during the game. You can get to your seat right down...
Elijah Price: Characters in comics are often attributed special powers: invisibility, X-ray vision, things of that sort.
David Dunn: Okay. I don't wanna play this game anymore.
Elijah Price: It's an exaggeration of the truth. Maybe it's based on something as simple as instinct.
David Dunn: But he might not have been carrying anything.
Elijah Price: But he might have been carrying a silver gun with a black grip tucked in his pants.
