"Ten Days in Crisis" is much better than expected, shocking but not terrifying. Once again verified that the film is still old.
The climax of the film is repeated, and it is more exciting than ever. Every time I got nervous, my heart was hanging in my mouth, and suddenly it relaxed again. The nerves are slightly rested, and they enter a more exciting state again. Although there is bloody violence, it really needs to be shown.
Hidden behind the protagonist Annie's restrained appearance is the extremely complex and crazy heart and past. In the beginning, her honest face made people think that what she did was only caused by her passion for the novel, but she was dissatisfied with the ending of the heroine who supported her and gave her life strength in the novel, and she resisted, until Try to achieve the purpose of rewriting the novel by oppressing the writer. But as the writer gets more knowledge, the audience also knows more about the heroine. It turned out that she was a "devil" nurse who strangled countless babies in the cradle. What is even more frightening is that as a nurse, her professional academic performance is very excellent. This makes the image of this character suddenly changed from a crazy woman with out-of-control emotions to a professional killer of calm vultures. The fear and fear in the hearts of the audience deepened bit by bit, and it was completely impossible to predict what Anne would do next.
Several turning points in the film even forced back the tension that the audience was about to release: First, the red wine that the writer had saved for a few days with pills and powder was accidentally knocked over by Annie, and the writer's expression suddenly froze there. I watched in disbelief that his efforts were in vain; the second is that the writer hid a fruit knife that he tried to find and tried to attack Annie, but because of a small mistake, Annie saw through the idea and failed. Instead, he broke his feet. Everything seemed to have no turning point; the third was when the witty old sheriff found clues and traced to Anne’s house. Although he did not find any clues, he heard strange noises when he left. When he went back to investigate, he finally found the writer. But he was shot and killed again, and the writer fell into despair again.
In addition, it is the writer's perseverance that he will never surrender and resign his fate. After each disappointment, he will always prepare again for the next self-help. In the process of hard work, he did not hesitate to accompany Annie with a smile, speak kind words, ease the atmosphere between them, and make it possible for him to live longer.
Throughout the contest, the writer showed us not only wisdom and good psychological quality, but also the spiritual strength to persist because of the desire for survival. Facing a more cruel blow, the deeper he went, the more unfavorable his truth was. He was not defeated. On the contrary, he showed a stronger resistance. In the end, his tenacity saved himself, and also prompted his writing career to get out of the bottleneck and reach a new level.
