Horror film? Romance? comedy? It's hard to locate this movie. In short, after a brief taste of it, I clicked it slightly, and then immediately switched to another atmosphere, so that you can't continue watching with the same mentality, and your mood may change with the characters in the play. The psychology of the same tossed mountains between romance and horror.
But in fact, like the title of the film, the core of this movie is still inseparable from the word love, and aside from those surreal themes, it actually reveals a slightly cruel fact-love is a thing Very hard work - although not all will be tortured by ghosts, but the real run-in is actually more lethal. While each of us enjoys the warmth, romance, hormonal kiss and even sex that love brings, we are bound to face the unbearable shortcomings that come with it. In this sense, the ghost possessed by the heroine actually has a more realistic representation.
The most classic line in the whole film should be the line "Remember I once told the story of the heroine of a horror movie? They won't fall in love, because only the lonelier they are, the more terrifying the story will be. But when you think about it, you will be afraid, My heart really hurts. I seem to really fall in love with you." The male protagonist finally chose to bear these terrifying ordeals with the female protagonist because of love and heartache. Therefore, if we finally tolerate the shortcomings that accompany each other, it is also because of heartache for each other. Such heartache is the basis for us to overcome all panic and suspicion. A similar point of view is actually reflected in Son Ye-jin's TV series "The Age of Love" many years ago - even if the two sides are tired of each other, they will continue to cherish and support each other because of the pitiful parts of each other.
Finally, Sun Yezhen, continuing the character style of the previous work "Personal Interests", continues to play an older leftover girl who is withdrawn and autistic due to her tragic childhood experience, even the male lead is exactly the same. Similar to this kind of character who wanders between sadness and stubbornness, Son Ye-jin's performance is very easy. Going back, "White Night" and "Defensive City" are basically the same (but the difference is that the endings of these two films are very tragic) . Although the character frames are similar, they are each set in a character environment of joy or resentment or pitiful or terrible, and they show her changeable control ability. No matter the script, the director, or the entire movie, Son Ye-jin's performance has never disappointed me, and this year I'm looking forward to her continuing to challenge her less-explored acting field in "Skyscraper".
