1. The first 40 minutes are basically superfluous for me, and the last 40 minutes are basically cliff-like... Start directly from entering the house, and make the plot more complex and natural after freeing up space (you can also interweave the memory with reality. line), revealing the secret is a little more soothing and probably better. The plot drive is really blunt at a few plot points now.
2. Many people say that this film is very gothic. But Gothic's only has aesthetic design, not the plot... Or in other words, only the plots of unpopular works are so simple and blunt these days... Those motifs of really excellent Gothic works, love-hate entanglement, human nature struggle , desire, inner torture, etc., either absent or too little. Ghosts are meaningless. Goth films don't really need supernatural elements. If it's not the director's hobby, they can be removed and it will be more compact; the heroine's performance is also inappropriate, more like ordinary people than childhood. For those with Yin and Yang eyes open, the latter should have long been accustomed to supernatural existences, and be alert when they perceive supernatural existences getting together.
3. The top is really not suitable for writing emotional dramas; it may not be suitable for writing action dramas, but it is not important here.
4. Too much foreshadowing is sometimes a problem... Many props and imagery are too full, but they are completely useless in the follow-up, just like the tragic situation where the script or the finished film has been greatly cut; The expression of the eyes spreads out several possibilities in the audience's mind, and then after watching it, it is natural to feel the cliché of the plot. In fact, it is really unnecessary.
5. If there is no picture and monologue before the opening of the big book, it can be regarded as the content of a book; of course, it is still a mediocre novel written by the heroine. Instead, this reminds me of another question: how to use a film to reflect a mediocre or even inferior work, but at the same time become an excellent film in itself? Of course, this has nothing to do with the film.
