"The Girl on the Train": A "fatal" love triangle "triggered" by alcoholism

Thriller and suspense are the introductory tags of The Girl on the Train. Because I still like movies that are very depressing, I added it to Thunder's taskbar after turning over 10 pages of the resource list. The title of the film will give people the feeling that this is a kind of "weird" story that happened on the train, but after watching it, you will find that it doesn't seem to have much to do with the train. Compared with how to trigger the plot from the "location", the complex relationship between men and women like "permutation and combination" is easier to attract attention. Putting away the horror and suspense, "The Girl on the Train" is more like an ethical movie with pornographic elements. The film tells the story of "Rachel", a newly divorced heroine who has been drinking all day, relying on the train to kill her time every morning. Every time the train passes by a couple’s house, one day she discovers that her "wife" has suddenly disappeared mysteriously, so she became obsessed with investigating the matter, but gradually involves many crises behind lies, marriage, and lust... Although, in With the perspective of "Rachel" played by Emily Blunt as the main timeline, and the narrative structure of "Anna, Megan" as a secondary line, the plot and the complexity of the story are enriched to a certain extent, but only a single role The "suspense" of starting was weakened.

Hayley Bennett

In the sub-story plot, there are a lot of "ethical" relationship narratives. During the viewing process, the audience is easily attracted by the "male-female relationship". For example, as I expected, "Meghan" and which man would be engaged again, and staged a glamorous and passionate scene. Although the final line is grouped into one place, the previous complete narrative and focus have shifted from "suspense", and the seemingly tense ending makes it difficult for audiences with exhausted hormones to find new excitement. For fans of the original, if you want to watch the movie with a known ending, perhaps only the sexy figure and seductive eyes of "Hayley Bennett" are worthy of attention.

    The temperament of the soundtrack is very similar to Gone Girl. There are several suspenseful background music that sounds like Gone Girl's reappearance. The plot is far-fetched, the editing is messy, and the thematic deviation is far from it. It's like a scumbag saying you What do you do when you are drunk, don't you need drugs or injections to strengthen it? Credibility is too low, Emily Blunt does a good job. In short - drink in moderation, refuse to cut off + don't indulge in the world of scumbags!

    From the book to the movie, I can't understand why this work has sold so well. . . .

  • [last lines]

    Rachel: [narrating] Today, I sit in a different car and I can look ahead. Anything is possible, because I am not the girl I used to be.

  • Rachel: Um... I'm here because I... because I... because I woke up, um, covered in blood. And I had bruises all over my arm, um... It's usually from when I've fallen and someone's helped me up. My husband... he used to tell me what I'd done the night before. And I learned when you wake up like that, you just say you're sorry. You just say you're sorry for what you did, and you're sorry for who you are, and you're never gonna do it again. But you do. You do it again...
