I am a very tolerant ghost movie viewer, basically, as long as there is a ghost in a ghost movie, I can. But this movie is really not good. Because there are too many "people". Everyone in the story seems to have a lot of secrets behind them, and every action of theirs seems to have another purpose. There are too many complicated clues, too many inexplicable details, and too many ambiguities. Informative conversations that incite your curiosity to the highest point. But they all ultimately point to a meaningless ending, making all the delicate designs a joke, and making you look stupid when you watch the details of the record carefully and try to decipher the truth of the story. Moreover, because of this kind of trickery, the dialogue between characters has become extremely complex and stream of consciousness. There are almost no everyday words. Everyone speaks in a roundabout way. The rhythm is like reciting poems. There is no shortage of rhyme metaphors, since I was a child. From the little girl to the disgraced gardener, from the black housekeeper to the female teacher from the New World, everyone is like Shakespeare possessed, the mouth is a sonnet, and all the words of daily life are spoken in poetic language and rhythm Daolai, especially the black housekeeper, has engraved elegance in her bones, and her every move is extremely mysterious and charming. But she is in fact just a high-level maid, and basically has no role in the whole story. Even at the end, she said that she was already dead, and I felt inexplicable. Did not delay her lighting candles and mopping the floor! What was the use of her so many scenes and lines before that? And this question can be applied to almost every character. After a lot of tossing, you still can hardly figure out what role everyone played in this story. The backstory about them told in such a long story is related to this ghost manor. What relationship, those feelings, those pains, to the ghosts, to the manor, to each other—as if they had nothing to do with each other at all. And then they are still playing dumb puzzles with each other, which further deepens the feeling of confusion for the audience. You watch them have incomprehensible dialogues with complex vocabulary and long sentences. You can neither understand the meaning of their dialogues nor the purpose of their dialogues. I don't even know why I want to shoot this kind of thing. The biggest doubt is, why do I want to watch it? When I see the ending, I directly doubt life, I feel that people here will be in estrus anytime and anywhere, and I can't predict their emotional line or the development of the story. Everything is illogical, and it ends in confusion. It's like a peacock opening its screen, looking at the flowers from the front, and seeing a butt at the end.
