feel more than plot

After downloading, I was shocked, and the four short stories actually made up more than three hours of film.
In fact, these four stories are relatively thin in terms of plot.
The first man who talked about his heart (well, his original intention was to stand out, not the popular empathy and other things), after he became famous, he suddenly regretted it, Xingye returned to his hometown to see his wife, and the wife treated each other tenderly. After a good night, the man with three poles in the sun woke up the next day and found that his wife was already a mummified corpse, with dry black hair still beside the pillow. When the man was on the verge of running away, the black hair followed him like a shadow and entangled him, and the man's face quickly aged and died.
The second one told that a young and handsome woodcutter met Snow Maiden in the snow, and the other party couldn't bear to kill him when he saw that he was so handsome (I feel pity for the old slave? Just come and kill him. Later, the woodcutter met a single woman in the wild, and the two fell in love with each other, so they got married and had children. A few years later, the woodcutter found that his wife looked like the Snow Maiden under the lamp, so he told his wife about it. His wife changed color and said that the snow girl was me, you still didn't keep your oath to me, I'll keep you alive for the sake of the child, and if you're not good to the child, I'll come back and kill you. Snow Maiden disappeared outside the door, and the woodcutter was devastated.
The third one is the story of Fangichi Wuer. The skilled blind violinist was led by a ghost to play Heike Monogatari. When he was in crisis, a monk wrote a heart sutra on his body and escaped, but his ear was ripped away by the ghost = =
The fourth is more inexplicable. The story is based on the story. After finding the face of a stranger in a water bowl, he was disturbed by a ghost...

The plot of the story is very simple, but the rhythm is very slow, but fortunately it is not boring.
I remember that in the original text of the strange story, the man who returned home in the starry night was not dead, and the story ended abruptly when he saw the barren tomb and bones. Very Japanese style, a bit sad but not sad, it seems that a woman has been waiting for her whole life, and she has to wait for her heart if she can't wait for someone. The plot of this kind of savage death always feels like it is after the midnight bell. just arisen. However, novelists like to exaggerate the reunion of repentance and reunion. There are few jokes about repentance but it's too late. This one satisfies me... Whoever said that the prodigal son's return is gold. What's more funny is that in the movie, the man wakes up and finds the abnormality, and he is scared to death, kicking the ground and running away in the sun, which is the opposite of the feeling that most horror movies always feel at night, think about it and feel Of course, the horror under the sun is the real horror?
The Snow Maiden story seems to be about a promise of gold or something, but I'm skeptical of the Japanese belief in keeping their promises. It seems that they don't talk about the theories like close relatives or couples.
There is also an episode of the story of Fangichi without ears in the Hundred Stories of Weird Talks. The interpretation is a bit too much. Fangyi is said to be the surviving samurai of the Heike family during the Genpei war, with a bit of retribution. It seems like a clear grudge. How can there be so many grievances and grievances in Japanese-style horror, and it is normal to sit in a closed home and sit in trouble from the sky. Because of his superb skills, Fangyi was attracted by ghosts and added night shifts for several nights. It seems that there is no benefit? However, the storytelling parts in this episode are considered to be overwhelming. The Japanese are used to doing dojos in the shells of conch and lions. This can be seen from the Dahe drama. It is obvious that the decoration of the stage play can make the effect of shaking the world. The two of you The scene where the maids jumped into the sea of ​​​​blood after Emperor Nibaoan committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea was very visually tense, but the reaction of the ghost when Fang Yi told the book was far less terrifying than in the story of a hundred stories. Maybe it's because of the plot setting of Hundred Stories to tell the ghosts to see their old comrades hate from their hearts to their hearts... By the way, the scene of writing on the human body is very beautiful, or the Heart Sutra written in Chinese characters? , I can't help but speculate secretly, did Tintin also write it? Isn't that blasphemous :)
That last story is, ahem, kind of nonsensical. Not to mention anything else, if I find a ghost coming to my house, I must hold my head and run away. In the play, this old man is still in the mood to stab the target that he clearly missed, and the more he fights, the more courageous he is not discouraged. Yamato Nation of tendon, laugh.

    From the perspective of today's people, there is not much horror, but there is a lot to learn from the scenery, lighting, performance... Favorite Snow Maiden

    Three stars for Taimei's photography, choreography and scenery! Two stars because the story is too earthy and the pace is too slow!
