"Mystery Window"
begins with the suffocating and melancholy eyes of Rainey blocked by the car window in a snowstorm. In the opium dens of Lower London, the eyes are in the smoke; in the little girl's garden, in the snowflakes; even in the bright Atlantic Ocean, in the dazzling sun . From hell to the world, from the world to heaven, there are these melancholy and deep eyes everywhere. Every time, it brings us a story that lets us go through life and death and love. What kind of wonderful story can we see this time?
It's great because it's another movie based on a Stephen' King novel. Of course, King's sign is like his surname, and the word "Jin" works well, although there's no guarantee it's a good movie Movie, but at least guarantees that the film's foundation must be a good story. The
film begins with Mort "Raney discovering his wife cheating in the motel, and then as the camera slowly sweeps across the woods over the sparkling lake, over The wooden house came to the sloppy and tattered Rainey who was curled up. At this time, John "Shutter" appeared, and he took a scroll of manuscripts and accused Rainey of plagiarizing his work. As a successful writer, Rainey couldn't stand this, especially when his marriage failed and his creation was blocked. Next. This ruthless and strange man has not given Rainey any wiggle room from the beginning. Step by step, he seems to be driving him to a critical point. He killed Rainey's dog, burned Rainey's house, and destroyed Rainey. Ni can prove that his work is not plagiarism proof, killing Tom, killing Greenleaf, also tore up Renee's last hope - the original magazine, but what is this tipping point, we have to go to the end of the film Just know.
With the increase of this irresistible deterrent, the very cowardly Rainey is more and more panicked and at a loss. Starting from the dog, everything involved in this matter. All died, and everything related to this event was destroyed.
John's request - to revise the end of the story, the proposal begins to be considered by Rennie, a cowardly and timid man who increasingly feels that things are out of his control. But when Rainey puts on the hat that John left him, it all goes without saying, Rainey! He directed and acted the play himself. Due to his wife's infidelity, unhappy childhood memories, and unsatisfactory life, his mind has been severely divided. Just as we cannot see our own backs, we can never fully understand ourselves. When Rainey actually saw his back and himself from all angles, he was no longer a person, but a body manipulated by two souls, and his enemy was himself. He burned his own house, killed friends and outsiders like Greenleaf, and pushed himself to the point of breaking through that window and doing what he wanted to do in his heart, to be John "Shuh" t. The
last is the ending he wanted, killing his wife and her lover, burying them in the garden under the mysterious window, and he did the ending with action, the one he thought was the most perfect ending. The
film begins with Rainey dressed Untidy, the striped pajamas look like unearthed cultural relics, with a head of golden messy hair comparable to Nestle, and a pair of eyes that are always open to two-thirds are full of confusion and trance, from the image to the eyes. Tell us how much he is. Bewildered, troubled. And when he's made a choice between two souls, he's completely John - well-dressed, hair neat, and we'll all remember John's charcoal suit and slick comb The
small low window that appeared in the film has always been the shackles of Mott's soul. The kind Mott struggled and panicked inside the window; the tyrannical John was violent outside the window. Which one is more real? When When Mott appeared behind the door in black clothes and black hat, like a messenger from hell, the real appearance was the blood under the shovel. In that medium and long shot, there were beautiful lakes and mountains, elegant cabins, and one that broke through. The window of the soul, the devil who returns to hell. The truth also lies in the boiled golden corn, the sturdy corn stalk under the small window, and the dark hopeless soil under the corn stalk, planting corn in the burial place, Corn became Mott's food, eating his wife's bones, and that kind of truth can only come from hell.
The whole movie should have ended with that corn-eating shot, the girl Brace, the police car, the gray-haired cop and what he said was really snake feet. Let us remember the chilling eyes of the kind and cowardly Mott, and the chilling viciousness and brutality of him standing at the critical point when he moved his jaw joint, as well as breaking through the small window and transforming into John's, with the chill from hell in his smile, that's enough.
A narrow window can see the woods and the mottled light and shadow. You can plant your favorite flowers and become a happy paradise. Of course, it can also become a desolate, gloomy burial place, where you can plant gnawed animals. Corn, become a party of grief and hell. Standing in front of the window is like standing at the critical point of life and death. Taking a step back or taking a step forward can decide your life and those around you.
Mott rushed out of the window, and the sky was shattered.
But can all this not happen? Is it possible that this window does not exist?
I think it's
ok ... In Mott's mind, the first window is not the mysterious window that determines life and death, but the car window in the heavy snow, the unhappiness of childhood, the failure in marriage, when writing hindered. Obstacles over and over again made him more and more paranoid. From the initial unhappiness in his heart to the final self-destruction, splitting, and transformation, the kindness was completely suppressed, and the rest was just brutal revenge and crazy killing.
In fact, it's not just Mott, there is a "mysterious garden" in our hearts. We can only see all kinds of beautiful plants growing in the garden, but we can't see what kind of plants grow around the roots. mixed soil. Those things mixed in the soil will become factors beyond our control. At any time, they may erupt. Any small opportunity will become the "last" mysterious window in our heart. Outside the window, is hell! And the devil, bit by bit, took over your soul when you were shackled by those windows of the past. As Rainey said in the film: "the ending is more important part in the whole story (the most important part of a story is the ending)", when the ending is revealed, everything is too late. Because he ended his chaotic double life and returned to pure - pure devil is pure, he is completely free from both personalities.
At the beginning of the film, in Rainey's recollection, his wife opened the cabinet and found the mysterious window, which also opened the prelude to Rainey's transformation. So if we never open that window, will everything be fine? Under the strong pressure of society and unpredictable life changes, can we ignore that window? this is a problem. Rainey is a writer, he's naturally sensitive, neurotic, and indecisive, so he pushes that window open, so at the beginning of the film, the soul in the car who talks to Rainey is kind of stoic and sane, and later, the soul The innocent people involved were killed by such cruel means.
Can we, those who are neither sensitive nor neurotic and indecisive, not open that window?
If we don't open that window, we are bound to open the other one, because the soul must have a release point, otherwise it will only speed up the collapse and deepen the burden of the soul.
That green old phone.
Notice that phone? It has become Mott's main tool for communicating with the people around him, and maybe that's what Stephen wants to tell us - connecting people, in addition to the long phone line, there are eyes, touches, and even smiles. What comes from the telephone line is the real voice, but it is not necessarily the real voice of the heart. When we encounter any situation, the people around us, the people we love the most, should be the key to open the window of our heart. Out of your window, you must not see hell, but the beauty of lakes and mountains, just like in Mott's cabin. In fact, looking out from any window is a beautiful lakeside view - except for the "mystery window". Don't make us wait until the view by the window turns the color of hell, just think about it and break through it!
Mott imprisoned himself, letting the long telephone line wrap around him like a noose, but escaping from reality, sincerity, contact and communication, the scenery outside the window changed little by little. So he finally lost the best release point of his soul. When his soul was imprisoned and began to divide itself, the only thing left was the entrance to hell. You know, he himself gave up countless windows that might save him, but he wanted to open the last one.
Although Mott rushed out of that window, bringing blood and killing. But if there is a window to your soul in your life, buddy, break through it—before it's too late.

Thank you Pu Shu for lending me his song title - although he doesn't know it~~ ~~~
From the story itself, "Mysterious Window" is very suspenseful. The story has two clues: one is the emotional entanglement between the protagonist Rainey and his ex-wife and her lover Todd; the other is the copyright dispute between Rainey and John. The pace of the film is very comfortable. In the first few minutes, the director let us understand the general framework of the story, which makes it easier for us to understand the film and create an illusion - please note that it is an illusion and not a suspense, because Halfway through the film, the protagonist and the audience believe that John is a harasser sent by Todd. In fact, there is another advantage to doing this, that is, hard-to-find! That's right, that's it, our dear director just wants us to think about this road, so that he can make the whole story turn around and clear the sky.
But, but, but... Director David "Mr. Cope, how could you forget that the basis of this movie is Stephen" King! Do you think we'll believe the story is that simple? Don't you think we're all from Pluto, don't you know how imaginative, weird, and complicated this surname Kim is?
The truth is, obviously I'm so disrespectful to the director, how can I deceive my ears to hear the housekeeper's wife say, "Mr. Rainey, I thought John" Schutt was another pseudonym of yours? "God, is this hint too obvious? Or it can be said that I don't know the order of watching movies. How could I watch "Deadly ID", "Cry on the Island", What about "The Sixth Sense"?
So, the first window that the director set for us was broken by us very shamelessly - at least we know that Mr. John was neither sent by Todd nor a real character .
