Today Amway is one of the best horror movies of 2020.

It combines horror and sci-fi, tells about the perverted male protagonist PUA and the female protagonist, which implements all-round monitoring of the female protagonist.

The film has a good reputation, with a Rotten Tomatoes index of 92%, a cost of 7 million US dollars, and a box office of over 100 million.

Isn't it interesting to listen? Then let's have a chat together-

"invisible Man"

The story begins in a luxurious seaside villa, where a couple is hugging and sleeping.

After a while, the hostess Cecilia got up quietly from the bed. After confirming that the sleeping pill she gave to her boyfriend was effective , she tiptoedly packed her luggage and fled the villa.

The entire process of escaping was very tense, until the alarm was triggered because of the need to untie the collar of the dog, and her boyfriend was awakened.

After a rush, Cecilia finally got into her sister's car, but before she had time to explain to her sister, her boyfriend chased after her, and the two drove away in fright.

Later, at a friend's house, Cecilia explained the reason for her escape:

Her genius optical scientist boyfriend Adrian is a control freak. He doesn't want to control her life all the time, and Cecilia, who can't bear it any longer, chooses to escape.

After spending two weeks at a friend's house, Cecilia received the surprising news: Adria has died and left her a huge fortune, provided that no criminal acts are allowed.

The heroine who didn't think too much accepted the huge sum of money and thanked the friend who took care of her.

But what followed was some incomprehensible strange things:

The stove fire in the kitchen will increase inexplicably; the room always looks like someone is staring at him; I don’t know who used his computer to send an e-mail to my sister;

When sleeping at night, the quilt will be ripped off inexplicably, and you will even see a pair of invisible feet step on it...

Many strange things convinced Cecilia that Adrian was not dead, but turned into an invisible person and continued to monitor and control her.

As Cecilia expected, Adrian invented a sophisticated invisibility suit.

The battle clothes are covered with cameras that can cause intensive phobias. Wearing it will have the same refractive index as light, making the whole body invisible.

But no one around him believed that Cecilia could only investigate on her own.

Cecilia asked sister Emily to meet in the restaurant, thinking that her invisible husband would not be able to harm her in a public place.

Unexpectedly, the invisible man cut Emily's throat cleanly, then put the knife in Cecilia's hand to finish the blame.

After Emily's death, everyone did not believe Cecilia's claims about the existence of invisible people. She was treated as a lunatic and murderer in a mental hospital.

Cecilia can only rely on more extreme means to resist the persecution of her husband by the invisible man.

The climax of the film is just afterwards.

For a thriller horror movie, you can't spoil it too much, otherwise you won't have that feeling when you watch it.

But Cecilia's hard-steel invisible man Adrian's bridge is really amazing.

The biggest attraction of the film is the heroine Elizabeth Moss , her performance almost propped up the entire film.

Not only did a large number of non-physical performances, but also showed the female lead's mental pressure under the control of the male lead to a very high level.

The emotion that she almost collapsed because of her incomprehension in the whole film is very contagious.

In addition, the entire film is also a very bright spot.

The director used a lot of indoor empty shots to let the audience and the heroine guess where the invisible person is;

At the same time, it will suddenly use the panning lens to tell the audience that you are in the perspective of the invisible person;

The ending of the film is like an allegory, an allegory that appeals to women to resist patriarchy in the current society.

When all the truth cannot be told, when any resistance is powerless, only the pleasure of violence and killing derives a sense of security.

This may be the real meaning the director wants to express.

    In the first few minutes, Elisabeth Moss's acting skills completely convinced me - "(I haven't) seen" the source of memory, emotion, and pain, but it has already appeared in every inch of her eyes, breathing and trembling lines. In the beginning, it was like the final climax of a dark story. But her ordeals were endless. It is suitable for the director's previous work "Human Upgrade" (Upgrade). It just happens that the two sides of one body sublime each other. Two kinds of "technological original sins" are approaching and reflecting: one is the self-confidence (Grandiose) that descends from technology, and the other is paranoid (Paranoid) that comes from technology. The concept of "control" has mutually achieved rationality and sensibility in the two films: the systematization of control is so precise and pervasive, but don't forget that the humanization of control can permeate and linger so deeply...

    Could this essay be made more accurate? I seem to see the outline. . . OK, choosing an invisible man to show the plight of women couldn’t be more straightforward, and the story itself was completely law-abiding without any suspense. Such an obvious intention made this little fun of watching the movie disappear, and the unintentional formalism preached . . . boring... In addition, is this black sister a representative of fair-looking ➕ skin color equality. . . There is no acting skills, and there is nothing remarkable about her appearance. She is simply a more unbearable existence than a vase, which makes me wonder if she has any powerful background. . . .
