Some secret clues brought the audience closer to the truth, and her ability to transcend age revealed her suspiciousness. The dentist represents age. Ribbons represent scars. The door lock of the bathroom represents the secret of the body. The ripped pictures of strange men represent forbidden love. Looking at the woman who struck up and flirted with her adoptive father John, she shook off the jealousy that a girl shouldn't have: this is a comparison that an adult woman would have. Esther took off the ashes and the yellow rose, pretending to be innocent, and handed it to Kate. It was her most powerful provocation when she gradually consolidated her position. Self-harm represents a strong desire to expel the mistress.
The opening is very in line with my strong tastes, and it satiates my appetite. In the nightmare of the hostess Kate, the trance backlit lens, the bloodstains from a high altitude, and the sound of the wheelchair rubbing against the ground are infinitely amplified, holding the video recorder without knowing the so-called husband, the baby who died in the abdomen. All the suppressed fears, pains, and weak struggles appeared in these few minutes. The cruel shadow of reality is vividly expressed. Woke up, Kate walked into the bathroom, stared at the scar on her lower abdomen in the mirror, and took out the medicine from the closet. A sad face.
Starting from a pessimistic, haggard mother, people see the potential dangers of a family. She was drinking heavily because of her pain, she was confused because of her alcohol abuse, and she had to take drugs because of the confusion. so. She will not be trusted in the end, even if she has started to face life positively again, working hard to adjust and improve. She thought everything would be fine. But her past made his husband choose to believe in a girl who didn't know the details. Instead of her who has been with each other for 10 years.
As a result, all the plots are smooth, and there is no need to lay out bluntly. The precarious marriage relationship between her and her husband, in order to keep the love that does not disappear, and constantly sorrowful efforts, they try to use a child to dispel the haze of a family and regain happiness. Until Esther's arrival.
Esther is smart and lonely. With a quirky elegance. Has a gothic face. It is hard to imagine a nine-year-old girl who is proficient in Tchaikovsky's music, with maturity and indifference that is derailed from her age, but also with the cruelty and unfeeling of adults. She cleverly deceived her sister Max's trust. In the plot of the murder of the nun, the innocent Max was shocked. She looked at her sister's cold face and dealt with the scene without panic, picking up the stolen goods and taking off the plastic gloves. Max's expression began to change slightly.
Max is a deaf-mute child who has suffered near-death accidents. She has been looking forward to having an angel-like sister. Esther's appearance made her happy and feel safe. Esther quickly mastered sign language, satisfying all her silent needs. So she obeyed her. Until she found out that Esther was an angel in disguise. From panic, consternation, to sadness, anger, and fear, she endured and concealed because of fear, while watching everything around her nervously. This series of emotional transformations were all expressed by a cute child only with her eyes. .
Isabelle Fuhrman, the girl who plays Esther, is even more compelling for her acting skills. Jealousy, transforming love, and adult indifference, she used her age-contrasting acting skills to interpret this unfathomable little devil. It is said that the director has taken pains to reset the script for this genius child star. It shows its amazing expressiveness and potential, ability to control the role.
