sometimes have to face the accusation that they are making films for Westerners.
But why can't Japanese and Chinese directors make movies for Westerners? This is a movie worthy of the name made for Western audiences, one of the horror masters.
So it doesn't taste right. At the beginning of the film, all dialogues were in English. After going to the island, although a rooster head used Japanese-style English to add some "Japanese flavor" to the film, it still couldn't give people an immersive and authentic feeling. Japanese and Chinese audiences don't like such movies, probably because some of the pictures and means that cater to the tastes of Western audiences are really lackluster in the eyes of Orientals. However, Miike's playfulness has not changed. While catering to him, he still does not forget to spoof, and those who accused him of catering did not see Miike's playfulness for the same reason.
Since ghost tricks began to tell their own life, abortion has been throughout. Later, the American man's life experience was also revealed. It turned out to be a bastard who raped and murdered his sister, and this man was actually called Chris.
Abortion and Christian scandals (Chris, alluding to Christians) are taboos in American society (for the social image of Christianity (mainly Catholic), see "Sin City", which has been reported in recent years for priests who rape children). Miike arranged the life background of the two protagonists in Japan and the United States in this way, and the stillbirth images flashed repeatedly in front of the camera, obviously to tease the fragile nerves of the American audience and to tease the mainstream social morality of American society. Although we Chinese are accustomed to abortion, and religious scandals are none of our business, Sanchi is Sanchi after all, not Zhang Yimou, and making movies for Americans will not be peaceful, wagging their tails and begging for pity. The only method, the ingenuity of this time, cannot be ignored.
The truth of collage
Movies with indistinguishable authenticity are probably the first to be popular in Japan by Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon", but in the end the mystery is finally revealed; but the real contemporary movies intertwined with illusion and reality are probably still from David. From Lynch's "Evil Night Panic". This kind of film generally has a good reputation, at least when the director made this film, his intention was clear, and it could be deduced from the clues he gave in the film. However, for this kind of film, most of the comments that can be found are vague, feeling much more than reasoning, and the observation and understanding of the clues, details and structure in the film are not extensive, so after watching it, I cannot understand the director. The intention is not clear about the cause and effect of the story.
There is another hint in Clip
. After Chirs is behind bars, Miike arranges for real people to make an appearance together (Chris holds the dead baby barrel, his sister Xiao Tao stands behind him, and Xiao Tao blows the car). Maybe it's all real since Chris shot Peach in his hallucinations. In addition to Chris, the real people include the dead baby in the barrel, peach komomo and Chris's sister. Chris fabricated ghost tricks and got close to the truth time and time again, until the phantom of shooting Xiao Tao disappeared at the end, and the abortion was throughout (disguised as delivery at the beginning), and finally it was a little clear that there was a dead baby, which shows that the dead baby is indeed Chris's biggest heart disease. Where do dead babies come from?
Regarding Chris killing his sister, there is a scene in the film where his younger sister is asked with a trembling voice in fear: "I've already satisfied you, why do you still..." Why does Chris kill his sister? My sister was killed, what will I do next?
The most plausible reason is fear of exposure. And when is jq most exposed? The answer is simple, Yi is pregnant.
In the American society at that time, the so-called sexual liberation was still a hundred years later, and free abortion and even contraception were still litigious in American society, so that young women needed to have abortions across continents. The result of incest) and the difficulty of abortion can be imagined. If you cannot get an abortion, the only way to avoid the leak is to kill someone.
Clip
Ghost trick life experience, more parallel and intersecting than Chris. Ghost trick parents and brothers and sisters raped, just like Chris's sister-in-law. Chris kills Yi, but he can't forget his love, so he looks for Xiao Tao as a replacement. The monks in the temple should not be close to women, but they raped the ghost tricks of the girlhood, and they are similar to Chris (Christian) who should be forbearance (Bible: Love is forbearance).
Regarding the identity of ghost tricks, whether it is hallucinations or demons, from the perspective of Miike, it is to increase the atmosphere of ghosts and ghosts, and to use the mystery of the Western audience to the Eastern civilization to increase the attraction of the film; from the perspective of the film text Said, probably no one would think that there really exists a woman in the world with a hand in her head, right?
