not as you think

The horror thriller that has been dangling the courage to think it is a perverted killer, Adrenaline is always ready.

As the plot unfolded, the expected excitement did not come, and the camera showed the beginning and end of the story in a straightforward manner, but the final ending was caught off guard.

To be reasonable, from a legal point of view, the final judgment is fair and just (I hope it's not like the bullet screen said, only 2 years, I suspect I have seen a shortened version), the motives of the two ignorant young people from the beginning of the crime Not simple. Ethan is for revenge (the father of domestic violence was divorced by his mother and sent to prison), Sean's blind obedience is to prove himself (obviously an honor student, but desperately trying to get rid of the title of rich second generation, children, you are still too young), I don't know what misunderstandings children have about this world...

Speaking of human nature, the old man behaved like a grumpy old man from the beginning (indifferent, scolding neighbors, threatening to kill dogs), and later as the plot slowly unfolded, a soulful man who lost his love gradually appeared in front of the audience. His indifference comes from a military background, his irritability is due to the loss of his love (witnesses later said: he lost everything that is happy and beautiful), he is immersed in a sad world and unable to extricate himself, but the self-discipline of the military is maintaining him life.

The old man seemed to have a little bit of anticipation for the ghosts caused by the two bear children. In the play, he asked the police officer: Are you sure it was a woman's scream? ------I can't help but almost cry when I think about the follow-up plot. In the end, the old man saw the bell on the table in the living room (actually, it was taken out of the basement by Ethan and forgotten on the table), recalled the bits and pieces of his wife's life, and firmly believed that his wife was calling him. He hesitated to shoot, and the tragedy was settled.

The atmosphere of the whole film is not gloomy, terrifying, depressing, or exciting. It was not until the final answer was revealed that people felt a lot of pain because of recalling each scene of the plot. Sorry for the ending of this story, but also relieved by the old man's relief. For 12 years, the old man suffered alone for 12 years, and finally went to his beloved.

(Finally, I want to say something to Seans: Cherish life and stay away from brain damage)

    Neighbor: [to dog, while looking at Grainey] Let's go, boy.
