12' has no sign of being a horror movie; if you don't know in advance, you don't know it's a horror movie; it's very life-like to
hell -- the double pupil "eye" makes a fuss based on the Chinese culture "yin yang eye" "double pupil" gang religion. . . Pretty complicated
16' blurred vision "subjective" perspective
25' phantom
33' cornea owner's life memory? Reincarnation Eye
37' phantom so there is no real danger. . .
39' The yin and yang eyes are not the heroine A
logic: People will live in the world as ghosts when they die
47'
The difference between the elevator section and the Japanese horror movie: Why is it so scary knowing that the heroine will not be in danger? ? ?
Camera language
tone
on the purely visual
life and death communication
59 'Death Symbol: Men in Black
English death: sad pressure over fears
63' when there seems to have the ability to own yin and yang eye of a settlement with ghosts - new crisis

What I see is not the same as the real one
64' "Ghost Consciousness"
65' Bangkok, Thailand transnational filmmaking (Singapore)
71' A Ling: Kind and pitiful, but due to a natural cursed constitution (not, but the ability to foresee death.. .)
was bullied by the villagers
82' A Ling's pain is: Mother failed to save her
timeline's chaotic history, memory, reality. . . .
87 'resentment of the girl has been freed - will no longer nightmares

new crisis -
the yin and yang eye is no longer a source of terror - the ability to foresee death (and, like Aling)
92' special effects scene - already close to the standard Hollywood
ending : no longer as a horror film

re-blindness
