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

    When the movie ends at about 50 minutes, you can give four stars. The second half sucks.

    The scene where the heroine and the doctor are talking in the clinic has a really bad sense of language, and the horror in the first part is really good. It can be frightened for several nights when I was a child, but the Thailand trip in the back is out of the cliché, with yin and yang eyes. Ghosts are basically harmless to humans and animals. What are you afraid of? It's a big deal, you ask the last question: qu'est-ce que tu fait la?
