Hurrying into the theater, the show has already started. The small room, the three little girls in white dresses, the doll's round face, the round eyes, staring blankly and sharply at the ceiling, similar toys did not set off a warm and lovely atmosphere, but rather desolate, gloomy, the whole picture color Miscellaneous but not colorful, gray like a lost world, a world of death, time is stagnant - as expected, the three little girls left the chubby dolls behind, and walked forward hand in hand, as if they were gossamer and fluttering, they went to the window, Three windows, one for one person. Then unscrew it, push it away, walk away, and disappear in front of my eyes. A second later, it was a wailing, horrific death.
Seriously, shudder. Fresh children, start the operation; this is really cruel! Thinking of the little girl in red jumping in "Schindler's List", it was unbearable to be killed in an instant. But the child's supernatural death evokes elements of terror.
It's a horror movie! No wonder the fare is only 25 yuan for half price. Thinking of the previous movies with a full price of 50 yuan, they were indeed either small movies or horror movies. With Harry Potter, there is always the force of justice. Read on.
"Harry Potter" is a man who becomes a father for the first time, grief-stricken by the birth of a child and the death of his wife. "I sympathize with your experience, but the company is not a pension base!" The leader scolded. It turned out that Harry was a lawyer, and he had to start work. The work he received was: go to a small village and handle the recovery of the old woman's legacy and the old house (?)formalities.
He said goodbye to his 4-year-old son and took the train from London to the little place. Haze, recalling the beautiful picture of my wife's death and life, wet, rainy, lonely...
Then, when he arrived at the village, he was ignored by everyone, and he was deliberately not welcome. The room was booked early, but it was said to be full. In the end, he won the opportunity to live in the attic, and the terrified proprietress opened the door for him - what he saw was the window from which the three girls jumped in the first scene! shudder again.
Next, is the confrontation with the old house. In the three confrontations, the secretive villagers refused and set difficulties for him to visit the house in many ways, but he was inclined to go to Hushan and must find out what happened. The old house, on a small island outside the village mainland, covered with grass, tombstones, phantoms in the woods, foggy and damp; a pile of undeliverable cards and letters that came out of the box, full of depression and resentment, and then black clothes The woman appears and disappears, strange and trembling. After returning to the village, I reported this strange sight to the village official. When he said "saw a woman in black", the village official lost all expressions, entered the room without a word, and never came out again; then a little girl "drinked alkaline water" , fell into Harry's arms, spewing blood, and died. Soon weeping and mourning, the villagers were even more mean to Harry...
The woman in black is a grudge. Once she is seen, she will vent her grudge once, and a child in the village will surely die. So, Harry is to blame. But he still had to find out. The last two times, he discovered the reason for the woman in black's grievances-her child died and no one could save her, and she died after being forcibly separated from the child, and resolutely took revenge.
The woman in black appeared outside the house, the face of the screaming woman appeared when the handprints on the window were touched, the rocking chair that kept swaying like the high heels of a woman climbing the stairs, the tense music, the sudden sound of various dolls and toys, thanks to The entourage of the puppy, Xiao Hei, made the atmosphere less critical. With a little popularity, Harry stayed up all night like this. After returning to the village, another girl died.
Harry, who learned the truth, not only did not flinch, but he fought more and more bravely to make things right. He went to the old house again and found the corpse of the drowned son who cursed the woman in black - thinking that this would eliminate the curse, so that his child would not be cursed - the 4-year-old child was coming to the village on the way to meet myself. In the muddy pool like a black watered swamp, the corpse was taken out - it's not scary here, because I know it's played, and Harry has a partner - the old man who lost his son because of this black woman's revenge , the richest man in the village XX.
Does this solve the suspense? Harry became the exorcist of the force of justice again, and here instead of using "Expecto Patronum" with a wand, he took the warm route, reuniting the woman in black and the child - two dead souls, and letting the grudge go. Finally saw the head-to-head confrontation between the woman in black and Harry. The candles in the corridor darkened round by round, turning into dark corridors, all darkening. Harry's English sapphire eyes searched for the suddenly missing ghosts. Suddenly, white light appeared, and a roaring white-faced woman rushed towards her head. , After fluttering twice, it disappeared. Harry felt: she has gone. Then, together with the richest man XX, he pushed open the tomb lid of the woman in black, opened the coffin, and told that the child's body was buried with the mother. Close the tomb. You're done.
What about the end? "I will never forgive I will never forgive", the curse of the woman in black popped out again. When the train arrived at the station, the nanny (thought it was a stepmother? Very young and beautiful) and a 4-year-old son popped out of the platform. Little Zhengtai, with a fat face and blonde hair, shaking hands with XX is very cool! Harry could finally be safe with the child, leave this terrifying place, and immediately ask the nanny to buy three tickets for the return trip to London. However, while the adults were not paying attention, Xiaozheng Taiyuanshen escaped without turning back, just like the three fluttering little girls, walking towards the fast approaching train to London. Harry realized it was too late, and jumped off the rail guard. The train rumbled, and in an instant, there was nothing left. When he opened his eyes, Harry was holding his son by the railroad tracks. The sky was bright, and his mother was calling for the father and son
. Do you have to kill so many people illogically in order to show the horror elements, story ideas and unpredictable twists? Reuniting the woman and the child, isn't the grievance resolved and common sense fulfilled? Does the screenwriter really kill without blinking an eye? Destroying the beautiful Xiaozheng innocently, and the protagonist Harry is also avenged by favor and revenge, the logic is too false, is it necessary? Some people say that the woman in black is crazy for revenge and nervous (so the child was taken away more than ten days after birth, and the mother and child were isolated), so she wanted to repay Harry and reunite the family of three by killing them. - This is really speechless.
That's the story. Watching a horror movie on the big screen for the first time. Like watching Batman and Spiderman, a culture has a basic understanding: what is the style of British supernatural horror - fog, heavy rain, swamp, old house, old photos, rocking chairs, multiple births, music boxes, dolls, horror The elements are full of strategies, the suspenseful atmosphere is high, and the ghosts are strong counterattacks. It is different from the mysterious and mysterious horror like Sadako in Japan, different from the naive horror in China, and different from the delicately conceived and in-depth horror like the American "Terror Cruise". British castles, vines, spider webs - the style of Jay Chou's "William Castle" - horror with vicissitudes and gentlemanship.
But the movie doesn't make sense. First of all, the elements of terror are nothing more than those things. In terms of shooting skills, it is in the sound effects, and in the push and pull of the lens; the instant sound effects and the surprise of the push and pull, the sound effects are matched with the characters that appear suddenly, rendering the tense atmosphere, giving It's just a kind of fear in people's hearts, that's all. Nothing really scary. Secondly, the storytelling is not exquisite, and many of the content is just on the spot without deeper care and deepening, etc., which is completely different from the exquisiteness and progression of "Terrorist Cruise". Again, it's too unscientific, it feels like being in a no-man's land - even a supernatural movie must have its own logic, but this logic doesn't seem to be very consistent, and it often makes people feel that there is a bug after it escapes. Of course, there is a bit of logic that is quite optimistic: does Harry need to get to the bottom of this haunted house? Are you fed up and not afraid? The answer is: it is not that he is not afraid of ghosts, but that he hopes to have ghosts, and hopes to see his wife again, because his heart is dead... This can more or less be linked to the so-called "big reunion" at the end. Later, I learned that this "most successful in history" and so on, originally referred to novels. "The film is adapted from the best-selling novel published by the British novelist Susan Hill in 1983. The novel "Woman in Black" was soon adapted into a play after its publication, and the play was evaluated by the British media as a 'theatrical stage' It has been the most exciting, attractive and successful work in the world', which has been staged in the West End of London for 20 consecutive years, and its enduring effect is quite amazing." However, as far as this movie is concerned, the story of the novel is quite regular. The pattern is obvious, very ordinary. The 83 version, needless to say, is now 30 years later. The times are progressing, and old stories can no longer hold new audiences.
As far as acting is concerned, there is still a special focus on Harry Potter's performance. Actually, here he is called "Arthur Cops". I don't know what his real name is, Chad: Daniel Radcliffe, '89. Now it has entered the younger generation, or a new generation that has entered the main force of the workplace. His "Harry Potter" series is really in full swing, and he is taking the line of Xiao Zhengtai. His round face is really cute. Later, a few faces became more pointed, his hairstyle became more masculine, and his temperament was quite like a juvenile genius. general knowledge. Now, with a beard, an old man, and a deep look, this movie is his "transformation", but it's not as charming as the "Harry Potter" era. But I'm sure his hard work and acting skills are still good, but his aura is obviously lacking. Hope he can transform successfully.
Similar to that, there are always people mentioning "Leonardo", saying that he is sunset and things like that. Indeed, Leonardo was handsome in "Titanic", and he was a very personable and beautiful man of that era. Today's style is vicissitudes and profound, and some people say that the beard and scum are obscured. But at least in my mind he is quite powerful, not only the previous Titanic, but also another recent work. His works of the post-transformation era will never lose to "Titanic" in overall strength, even the new generation. The movie viewing aesthetic standard (especially in terms of conception and philosophical depth) is higher than the work of "Titanic" - "Inception". Even if he only has these two works in his life, he can already become a master. I don't know if Daniel has this potential and enthusiasm? Of course, as far as my personal preference is concerned, the starting point of "Titanic" is a notch higher than that of the "Harry Potter" series.

Detail 2: All the children who committed suicide after being seduced by the woman in black, Jennet, had their souls kept as they were before death (some still had blood vomiting marks around their mouths, some were severely burned on their epidermis, and some showed drowning, etc.). In the last scene, Joseph (Arthur's son) was killed or crushed to death by a train. Whether it was directly killed or crushed to death, the death phase would not be very good (you can imagine it...), but the truth? After Joseph's death, his soul was very peaceful, indicating that Jennet, the woman in black, did not want to imprison Joseph's soul.
Explanation for the ending: The woman in black felt that the separation of mother and child was the most painful thing in the world (because she suffered from it before and after her death), and at the same time, the black-clothed Obasan was not in a good spirit during her lifetime (Because of the death of his own son), it is estimated that the idea is not reliable after death... Then, Obasan in black insisted on sending that Joseph and his mother to get together (but Arthur's death was an accident, because the book was not there Black-clothed Obasan is expected).
