Hello everyone, I'm Dong Yuzhi. Dong Yu, who just finished watching "Eco Box Vivarium", wrote this film review with an indescribable strange mood. This movie belongs to the genre of novelty movies, and it has some shadows from last year's popular sci-fi thriller "Wish Room". The director successfully repositioned the "weird". The plot, atmosphere, acting, music, logic, editing, and even the "little" climax at the end of the film revealed a terrifying grotesque. Dongyu strongly recommends that students who love novelty and novelty can watch it, especially for friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder. "Ecological Box Vivarium" Reminder: There will be spoilers later. It is recommended that students collect this article first, and then browse it after watching the movie! The film tells the story of a young couple Tom and Gemma who were brought to a community called "Yonder" by a weird agent Martin in order to buy a house. The community is very large, and the houses are all light blue with black tiles. The agent they came from did not know where to go. The two could not get out of this labyrinth-like community, and only returned to the No. 9 house they visited. The picture of the maze-like community "Yonder" Dongyu is astounding. When the young couple couldn't leave no matter how hard they tried, a cardboard box with a baby boy appeared in front of the house. The baby grew into a child of six or seven years old in just ninety-eight days. The children's behaviors are also very strange, and the male and female protagonists begin to disagree. The male protagonist treats the child as a monster, and the female protagonist occasionally shows the child's maternal talent, accompanies the child to watch play, watch movies, and coax sleep. The mysterious baby boy, who grows when he sees the wind, finds that there is something strange in the lawn soil at the entrance, so he has been digging a hole day and night, hoping to find the answer from the hole. The female protagonist later found out that the child was not a human being and panicked. When the heroine was desperate, she wanted to kill the child who had become an adult, but was escaped. The heroine chased after and found several houses similar to the multi-dimensional space. Each house was raising children, and finally the heroine was also there. Unwilling to die. The pit at the door was dug for himself, and after throwing the two bodies into the pit dug by the male protagonist, he drove their car and left the community to reach Martin, the intermediary they met at the time. At this time, Martin was dying. Martin passed the "Martin" nameplate on his chest to him and died. He became a new Martin and sat in a chair and continued to wait for the new housekeeper. The plot ended. Intermediary Martin The new generation of Martin first makes a rational analysis. This is a low-cost movie. There are four actors in total, and two of them play the role of children (adults and children). role. The movie is surprisingly clean, except for the male and female protagonists, everything is presented to the audience in the cleanest way. The film director introduced in an interview that when the film was filmed, he just wanted to show the pressure of young people on mortgages, but it changed when filming. 1. Is the normal extreme weird? "Delicious delicacies are actually tasteless, and the prosperity will eventually become ashes." The community themes of "Yonder" are "You, re home right now", and "quality family homes. (Highest quality community)", the best quality community has everything, food and clothing are prepared for you properly, delicious food has no taste, it is always sunny and silent, and there are always a few flowers floating in the sky "like clouds" The same” clouds, the same neat and symmetrical houses, empty streets, simple color matching. Any of these appearing alone is a matter of course, but when they appear together, they give the audience an absurd and comfortable complex and eerie sense. , and this is the "hunting core" mentioned at the beginning of my article. There are always a few "cloud-like" clouds floating in the sky Simple and weird TV 2. The innuendo of life makes people feel at a loss! When you have a house When you have a home, you will be bound to lose everything. This should be the director's original intention. At the beginning of the movie, the parents who picked up the child chatted with the heroine. They were not talking about how the children were studying, but about buying a house quickly. At that time, Dongyu felt that Very speechless. After the latter two lived in the house, they were not free until they died. The male protagonist digs a hole day after day, and his girlfriend asked, "Are you going to dig a hole today? "It's like asking "Are you going to work today?" "A homely feeling of a husband earning money and a wife with children. At the end of the movie, the virgin found that the scenes in several dimensions are the same, which is to tell the audience that all the people who buy houses are like them day after day, year after year. The mechanical life of the female protagonist becomes sluggish day by day, and the male protagonist becomes numb. What is life? The "foreve" on the poster has no end. Are you going to dig a hole today? The male protagonist is dying. 3. The growth of children With Yu Dongyu's son, who is five years old this year, many scenes in the movie resonate after seeing it. For example, the child is hungry and crying. Parents who are new parents are at a loss, parents do not let their children watch TV, and children cry and call for punishment Standing (or spanking), children imitating adults' every move, children making some strange actions to attract adults' attention, etc. These are all shown in the movie, and children like to read books, adults can't understand this signal. Important: The "world" of children, adults can't understand at all, this is a generation gap! There is also a message on the carton: "Raise The Child And Be The movie, but added a lot of detail settings and details, which also made the setting that would have been a black humor style gradually developed into a weird and slightly scary story, and the scattered settings cast a shadow on the film A bewildering and eerie veil. It is precisely such a "four dissimilarities" that prompted Dong Yu's interest. Of course, there are still many details that are not handled enough for the movie. For example, the plot is a little empty and powerless. At the beginning of the movie, the "dove occupying a magpie's nest" has almost spoiled everything, and lost certain expectations for the subsequent plot. There is nothing particularly shocking and interesting about the movie, only the strange and strange feeling after watching the movie lingers! Well, today's recommendation is here! I'm Higashi Yuyuki, see you next time!
