Well, the grass grows lush

Several labels, Stephen King, thriller, parallel space, brain burn.

Let me talk about Lao Jin first, I haven't read this novel. In fact, I have only read his "The Story of Writing". I admire the old man. As for the relationship with this movie, I don't know and dare not say it.

Speaking of horror, I invited Pago, a big name in the world of horror, to see his gloomy face. I am indeed a little scared. The rest of the horror ingredients are... a bit noisy. The actors should have opera skills Strike iron.

Parallel space, this is the most brain-burning. Some people say to compare it with the horror cruise ship, but I think these two are completely different. The horror cruise ship is an interlocking chain, and every button affects the story. The film is like a pile of loose buttons, some are connected, some are independent. In layman's terms, it is based on the irrefutable logical self-consistent tolerance of parallel space, giving up the story. To put it more unpleasantly, the film uses linearity to describe parallel spaces. The result is that every space is useful and it is used, which is arrogant and unreasonable. Why don't you explain to me why the number of kids and Chavez doesn't really match Carl's? What? Parallel space? You are right, you continue.

The last one, Brain Burning, I would like to say that the Brain Burning that I like is to give the audience puzzles, or a corner of the puzzle, the clues are laid out fragmentary but exquisite and ingenious. People burn willingly, unable to extricate themselves, tossing and turning, waking up from a dream. I'm sorry, this film makes me feel that it doesn't give a puzzle, but directly gives the wrong answer, this kind of confusing and inexplicable brain burn...

Advantages, grass ah, really lush.
