The seemingly calm plot conceals a murderous undercurrent

It is said that the film company wanted to take advantage of "Ghost Eyes" to make a fortune, but the box office of this movie was surprising. After all, this kind of dark and weird film being released during the Christmas schedule is indeed too far-fetched, but director Shamaran interprets his superhero movie from a new angle, which is really unprecedented. From this point of view, the film First of all, it doubles my goodwill.

The film’s photography techniques and scene scheduling are full of extremely strong and unique styles. Perhaps it is this author’s style that made Director Shamarin to be regarded as one of the most favorite directors by the French "Cinema Manual" throughout the first decade of the 2000s. Several films The works have appeared in the top ten movies of the year.

The frequent use of mirroring effectively broadens the depth of the lens, and concisely presents the relationship between the characters inside and outside the lens. At the beginning, the woman talks to the police after giving birth, and the black child talks to her mother at home. They all make full use of the mirror to narrate, which is quite calm. Sophisticated; the camera rotated 360 degrees to shoot the cover of the comic twice. When the father and the child reunited in the hospital, there was a slight sense of dizziness secretly, which was very Hitchcock's taste. At the beginning, the child who was peeking at the train and the middle track The black man who fell down the stairs when the criminal slipped and used the inverted lens to create an atmosphere of anxiety and mystery. The eerie and weird plot complements this stylized lens design and scene scheduling, and the seemingly calm plot conceals a murderous undercurrent.

The theme of the film is sublimated in the last scene of the reversal. If this paragraph is taken away, the whole film is nothing more than a record of the birth of a superhero, and the "truth" that is finally revealed by the black population cannot be said to be a complete overthrow of the previous one. The plot of the story, but at least adds a bit of horror to this originally gloomy story: good and evil often exist at the same time. Heroes alone cannot show their greatness. Demons must be used as opponents to show the status of heroes. This dualistic and unified worldview seems to be further used by director Nolan to create the great "Dark Knight". From this point of view, the originality of "Immortal Tribulation" is also of pioneering significance.

    I always feel that there is an interaction with the originality of "Reaper Is Coming", but the two films follow a different route, and they were produced in the same year.

    A book that turns upside down when you open it, you want to take a good look at it and turn it around, but it's still upside down in the camera. Your normal has since become the abnormal of the world.
