When you need a special movie viewing experience, it's really important to choose a good movie

I didn't finish it, I fell asleep after an hour.

According to the viewing experience, one star. According to the value of the film, four stars (almost).

Why did you go to sleep?

I recently completed a very important job. I woke up this morning and I was in a good mood. I wanted to find a horror movie. I’ve basically swept through all the famous horror movies. inside.

The problem is that I only collect many films, and I don't know much about them (for fear of spoilers even a little), and I like to enter the film with a preposition of "only knowing the genre but not the specific content".

This habit is sometimes good and sometimes bad.

In good times, you can be pleasantly surprised. Bad times, like today.

Half the experience of watching the movie + after reading some movie reviews, I think it is really misplaced and a pity to include "The Loop" as a horror movie.

However, I did start the film with a "horror movie" + I remember two comments saying that the film "can't recall" and "psychological shadow".

The result was of course disappointing. What I was looking forward to was "Damn it, come and scare me to death", "Are you going to make a face! Come out soon!", "Can't wait, why don't you die!!!"

But the movie is not.

In fact, I already understood before I saw half of it. This is not a regular horror movie ghost movie. The cold tones, the light of "I'm going blind", and the extremely irritating Japanese lines of Zhong Er , the engineer girl and a certain man (can't remember the name) show the alienation between people that also makes me extremely annoyed, and the loneliness that the factory sets off for people. All in place, all on point.

Too bad I can't wait to watch it.

It's the problem of my own failure to find the film. The film is a good film (at least in the first half, I think what the director wants to convey is conveyed), but when I want to watch a lighthearted romance film, if I open it and find it is " The Grudge, then maybe I'll fall asleep as well.

Continue to mark in the second half, goodbye by fate.

    In the first hour, you can feel terror because of the boring plot, and in the next hour, you gradually have a soul, but you don't feel terror at all. Does this prove that nothingness, unknown, and emptiness are the source of terror? After the film ends, the final freeze frame gradually shrinks, forming a "hui" character with the black background plate of the large frame. The "hui" consists of two closed square frames. The small two square frames just illustrate the endless loneliness, and the title "Circuit" is really subtle.

    It seems that Kurosawa has a high talent for film, but his talent for storytelling is mediocre? Talk about loneliness or something, but it is the bond between the world that forms the circuit. This movie made me realize that horror as the subject matter of the story is generally relatively thin. And the narrative routine of the story is really very Cthulhu~
