This is the final trend of horror movies. It is difficult to scare people by just being surprised. This is why the score of horror movies is always difficult to increase. Audiences are used to being frightened, and they need more elements than horror. Horror is just a means and a foil, the ugliness and insidiousness of human nature ultimately serve to express the theme. If it were just horror, the essence of the movie would seem hollow. Horror movies in the future should find other ways out. They should explore more things while using horror to scare people. Whether it is emotional, philosophical, or natural, since horror movies are movies, they must have their own topics after all. where.
In this regard, "Happy Death Day 2" has done very well. Compared with the first, the second film has less horror and suspense, and more comedy and emotional elements are added. The focus of the film has changed significantly. 2 has done a good inheritance in the plot of 1. Since 1 has presented all the routines to the audience, and the story has basically been completed, the second part is not too much entangled in the storyline of "breaking the cycle for a day". This topic, but explores other topics. The film adds sci-fi elements as the pivot point of the plot, and explores a problem that human beings seem to never be able to solve: whether to choose love or family? Do you choose to return to your own dimension to be reunited with "the one", or to stay in a dimension that does not belong to you, to be reunited with your mother who is still in the world and who is thinking about it day and night? It's really hard. The cruel thing is that people eventually have to make a choice.
The success of "Happy Death Day 1" lies in the film's excellent comedy effect without losing the suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere and the story can withstand scrutiny. The most important thing is the description and portrayal of the heroine's self-salvation in the process. Seemingly bad green tea bitch, in fact, there is a reason in her heart that is more painful than anyone else but can't tell. In the process of solving the cycle, the heroine reconciles with everyone around her, herself, and everything in the past. The change and redemption of such a bad character has added a lot of warmth and connotation to the film. It is this point that makes "Happy Death Day 1" stand out.
2 inherits the plot of 1. On the basis of the original feelings, it deeply excavates the entanglement and changes of the heroine's inner emotions, focusing on the emotional relationship between the heroine and her mother, and letting her make the final decision between her mother and her boyfriend. s Choice. I finally spent a nightmarish day, reconciled with everything and finally gained love. When I thought it was complete, I accidentally let the heroine return to this day and face the final choice. The first part of the film made the audience understand the heart knot of the heroine all along, and the second part, on the basis of the feelings of the first part, digs deeply into the heart knot of the heroine, that is, the relationship with the mother, and focuses on on emotional changes. When the cycle of pain and torture suddenly turns into an illusory hope, what will the heroine choose? Such a contradictory choice is the drama of this film. The concept of the film has changed from "How to get out of this day" to "Should I get out of this day?" The change of theme has improved the realm of the film, which is also the first in my opinion. The reason why the two are equally brilliant. When the heroine finally made a choice, faced the reality in front of her, and accepted everything, she truly completed her redemption and walked out of September 18.
"Happy Death Day" is not like a horror movie in the traditional sense, it is more like a comedy. Because the themes of these two films are opposite to the traditional horror films "degenerate" and "dangerous", the process of "positive change", that is, "getting better". It can be successful, and it can be seen that the audience's taste for horror movies has changed. Horror movies are not the more scary the better. The success of the road test of "Happy Death Day" reflects the current trend of the horror movie market and the diversification of audience tastes; when the movie has deeper connotations and space for discussion, it will naturally stand out and win recognition. .
I love some of the lines in it, as well as some emotional scenes between the heroine and her boyfriend and mother. So I interspersed these lines in the film review. Some people may think that such a dialogue in a 90-minute horror movie will seem pale and preachy, but if you watch the two movies together, the overall story of the film is delicate and touching. . The expression of emotion in "Happy Death Day" is not in the background of horror and disaster, and it is not necessary to force the sublimation of the theme; it is through the two parts of the whole series. The natural emotional transmission after the foundation is the essence of the series "Happy Death Day", and it is also the main feature that distinguishes it from other horror movies. This is one of the most important reasons why I like this "horror movie".
The return of all the actors in the sequel is really touching and exciting! This team is really great! Without big names, a group of actors perform low-budget horror comedies, such movies are more lifelike and more attractive.
The heroine is so charming! ! It's so beautiful! ! ! She has been fascinated since the first part, especially her smile, how can she have such a bright, playful and charming smile! ! Truly one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen! When I watched the first part, I kept admiring her, but now I want to write another paragraph by myself to praise her~ I love this character and this smile!
The male and female protagonists are really too sweet. Although there are not many scenes, they still love them very much~ Don't be too cute when the female protagonist is jealous!
There is also the most interesting point of the cycle movie of playing tricks and experiencing life. This time, the heroine played more powerfully, taking a bath and drinking decontamination agent, jumping off the building and skydiving, and even a bikini welfare!
With this figure, face and smile, I can do it! ! The most Sao is the parachute free fall to the front of the man and Danielle. It is scared that the flowers are chaotic. come hahaha.
In addition, when the heroine jumped off the clock tower and committed suicide, she paid tribute to a wave of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2". The insects were going to cry when they looked at it. T^T, return me Garfield, return me Gwen 55555555
The role of mother in the movie is really lovable, and the casting is also very successful. That's why the heroine couldn't let go of her heart, thinking of her mother all the time. Therefore, the reappearance of the mother made a huge turning point in the plot. This time, the heroine finally faces the most longing and vulnerable part of her heart. The mother is one of the main sources of power to promote the inner development of the heroine and the direction of the plot. Most of the truth of the film is also expressed through the mouth of the "resurrected" mother, who not only taught her daughter, but also moved the audience. I never thought that I would cry when watching horror movies; when the person you love the most appears in front of you day and night, and this time you finally have the opportunity to tell her what you have been missing, meet her again, meet her How does it feel when you say goodbye. When Tree hugged her mother tightly and said mom, my tears flowed uncontrollably along with her tears.
If the key word of the first part is cycle and redemption, then the key word of the whole series after reading the second part is choice and redemption. Everyone is choosing the path they want to take and what kind of person they will become; whether they can reconcile with the past, whether they are willing to forgive and start over, there are countless such choices in life. Life will push you to make choices, but you can choose to follow your heart, choose to be who you want to be, and it's never too late to change.
You may repeat such a bad day, but you can choose to trust your choices.
"I TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH."
