"Reaper is Coming 3": What else is there besides dying struggle文/Vulcan
When all the pictures remind us of some unrelated things. Does it mean that we are old. So maybe our lives are just memories. It may not be terrible to get old. The really scary thing is that we only discovered when we were old, it turned out that we may even have all the memories just bleak. ——Vulcan Ji. Inscription.
It has nothing to do with audiovisual. Nothing to do with sorrow. Nothing to be happy. So what I must start to think about is what all this will be related to. Except for the corrupted images and some plot settings that can be fully imagined, this movie has no taste. The god of death is getting less and less handsome and depressing. From the black shadow floating around in the room in the first part, to the second part, it kills completely without a trace, but in this movie. However, the god of death suddenly became tender, and would instruct the person who took the photo to announce the death of everyone to the world in advance. This kind of plot processing is really depressing. In other words, it is just to create a hypothesis that makes people guess, and the real answer can only be suddenly revealed in the movie. In fact, what we can guess is not the correct answer. Use this to shape the tall figure of the god of death or the whimsical tricks of the main creator. It's just that, in my opinion, this approach seems a bit artificial and boring.
In the narrative, the techniques used in the first episode are played again, such as the invisible transition from reality to illusion. But this movie was played once at the beginning and again at the end. Don't tell me, this is a way of echoing back and forth. In my opinion, it's more like an ass skill. When I watched the first part, this technique amazed me. It was not because it was fresh, but because it completed a transition between dreams and reality. At least in my opinion, such dreams or illusions are very real. At the same time I have to admit that I was fooled, it also explained the success of this technique. The second one is a continuation of the original movie, from the plot to the narrative. This technique is not enough to make me feel anything. But the third episode is too outrageous. Let’s go to TMD for so-called front-to-back echoes. When the train slammed into Wendy’s heart-piercing screams at the end, I pushed the camera back into the train compartment again. My feeling It is disgust and tiredness. The disgust of irresponsible dogtails from the creator and the severe visual fatigue made me still not very fond of this movie. The first repeated dream and the sudden awakening, in my opinion, may be regarded as a continuation of a unique technique in the sequel movie or something else, and the last repetition of the movie draws on this movie. A very ugly period.
From the air crash, to the big car accident, to the escape from the dead in this playground, there is no breakthrough in the plot. And this series of filming here seems to have been repeating all the plots in the first part. disaster. Hunch. Escape from the dead. Then die one by one. The scene of death may still be quite imaginative, but the outline of the plot repeated three times in this way made me feel a serious aesthetic fatigue. What is life and what is death. Why live, why die. Similar themes are constantly repeated with a kind of hanging, hanging and puzzling mystery. To some extent, this is an extremely heavy topic in itself, and this kind of constant repetition of guesses without reference to the answer is actually meaningless. It only adds weight. In other words, the first movie can more or less trigger some thinking; in other words, the second movie should be an extension and further thinking. So, when I watched this movie, I felt somewhat of a farce. No thought, no thought, no gain. The series of movies always struggle to survive in a very embarrassing situation. If you blindly continue, you will be faced with a kind of visual fatigue that is no longer fresh; and if you blindly seek new changes and completely abandon the previous movies, it seems a bit digressive. Maybe, the first sequel I can still accept the continuation of the movie's plot and technique, but when it comes to the second sequel, I seem to want to see something new rather than just repeat it. It can be said that I was completely fooled by this movie.
Or, is it because I watched the three movies together, so that I feel this way. There is no room for any breakthrough in the plot of this series, so each sequel seems to be exquisite only from the methods and shots of each person's death. This may be the reason why this series of films has become more and more brutal, cruel and even bloody. In the first movie, the scene where Terry was hit by a speeding bus and hit Hiba should be considered bloody, but in the subsequent sequels, such scenes can almost be regarded as the quietest way to die. The method of death in the sequel is much cruel. Like a ladder through the head; a standing person is cut into four sections abruptly, we can see the intestines and internal organs flowing out; or the head is pulled out of the body by an elevator... etc. But when it comes to this movie, when there is no doubt or innovation in the plot, it seems that I can only seek a breakthrough in this area. Doomed death, and how to die. It's just that this movie hasn't made much breakthrough in this regard. They are all dead, but this movie has gone farther and farther on a cruel and extreme wrong path, and those methods of death seem to have no imagination of the original two movies. I was roasted alive by ultraviolet light until my body caught fire and died; I was completely smashed by a hard object; I was hit by a large truck and cut the back of my head in half; I was pierced from the back of the head by a long nail, and hit hard. A dozen roots were pierced from the front of the face; a flagpole shot through the body; half of the person was smashed by a falling object while the other half was intact; and the final train derailment incident brought similar killings It's so vivid and vivid. It just seems that, apart from the brutality and blood, there seems to be nothing to state. In other words, in the first movie there was a little bit of tenderness in addition to brutality and blood, but in the latter two movies, it seemed that there was nothing but death, except for brutal, bloody, and scary scenes.
And in this movie, the most subverted the previous two movies is the god of death, the most mysterious and unpredictable dead child, unexpectedly appeared in this movie. Using photos to announce the death of these people is a mess. I was wondering, if there was "Reaper" 4, would the Reaper at that time be a team, and then, a few dead children in black clothes who kept pretending to be cool kept using a kind of weirdness in the movie. His superpowers are constantly killing people. From another perspective, it turns out that they are all from the perspective of the victim. This time, if it is portrayed from the perspective of the perpetrator, it might be fresher. From a gloomy black shadow to no trace, to a photo in this movie, in the end, shouldn't it show up?
This is a rotten movie: rotten plot, rotten filming technique; blindly bloody and cruel, there seems to be nothing worth mentioning besides making people nauseous. Those poor children who were stared at by the gods of death, what other than dying struggling. And this series of movies seems to be dying. The story that seemed fresh in the front was used more extensively to rotten death, and then, it seemed that there was no other way but to struggle with death. Life is inherently fragile. But the repeated announcements may not seem so alarming. After watching these three series of films in succession, I can finally conclude easily: In fact, the films of this series are not horror films. In other words, in Hollywood horror films, is there anything else besides life-threatening blood? At least so far, Western movies have not really made me feel like a horror movie. Perhaps, there is nothing more than a dying struggle.
