"The Dead Girl", I only knew its Chinese name "Mysterious Girl Death Book" at the beginning, which made me think it was a serial killer suspense film, and at the beginning of the film, the female corpse covered with ants in the wilderness, and the dark The gloomy atmosphere has always led me to imagine the genre of suspense and thriller. If it weren't for the first subtitle "The Stranger", maybe I would have been depressingly wrong, and I would not have found the answer that a suspense film should have in the end.
In fact, "The Dead Girl" is "Dead Girl", of course, the first person to call it "Mystery Girl Death Book" must have studied popular psychology. The film is not a commercial suspense thriller, but an out-and-out independent film. The gray-blue tone that fills the whole film, the unhurried narrative rhythm, the delicate camera character performance, the performance full of tension and personality, and the repressed sex scenes together create a niche movie with an experimental temperament.
The film is based on the discovery of a female corpse, which leads to 5 relatively independent stories of 5 women who are related to the corpse at the same time. Each of them has suffered too much pain in the depressed past. Whether it’s a woman held back by her mother, a girl suffering from depression over her sister’s death, a wife who has been neglected by her husband for years, a mother abandoned by her daughter, or a prostitute who finally dies on her daughter’s birthday, they are all looking forward to a new life.
Structurally, "Dead Girl" is similar to the familiar "Crash" and "Babel", but for such a film, it's okay to watch one, but if you watch too many, you will feel that it has such a big theme, and everyone wants to make it deeper. , making it huge, so it is inevitable that there will be far-fetched similar to the Japanese paragraph in "Babel". "Dead Girl" is different, it is very ordinary, very life, but at the same time, when you are in pain, you will be very painful, and when you wake up, you will be very detached. The impact it gives you does not require a huge accident to complete like a crash, it just flows silently through your wound, and after a deep sting, you will find yourself more and more awake.
After a long period of repression, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the clearest memory of this film is these words:
"When you kiss me, I won't be in pain"
"We wake up in the morning, the sun is shining"
" What will be the last scene in her eyes?" "Trees and Sky" On
mtime, female audiences rated this film much more than male audiences, which just shows that this is a female film, and it has a profound impact on women's hearts. The exploration of the source of pain has won the resonance of many female audiences, and this discussion is also the experimental point of the film.
There are several familiar faces in the film, among which we can find Toni Collette from Little Miss Sunshine, Shellie from Sin City, I personally like her voice very much, and also from "Sunshine". The Cassie. Female director Karen Moncrieff is also the screenwriter of the film. She has only made two films so far, which is worth looking forward to. The film was hailed by the American media as the biggest legacy of the 2007 Oscars, and also won the Best Screenplay Award at the San Diego Film Festival, 3 Best Film nominations at the American Independent Spirit Awards, and the highest award at the Deauville American Film Festival in France.
