Mr. Pumpkin has been fascinated by a man recently.
I'm talking about the first straight man in the corrupt country: Dou Sen.
With the popularity of Disney+'s new Marvel drama "Rocky", the actor who played Rocky has once again won the attention of the world.
Especially the handsome and handsome face, it adds a lot to this role.
It is precisely because of the wonderful performance of Dousen that the character of Loki has countless fans.
He became the "top villain" of the Marvel Universe .
This reminds Pumpkin-kun of a thriller and suspense film that Shiverson once acted in .
It is also a villain, but it makes people feel pity and hate, and it is comparable to the charm of Loki.
It is-
"Scarlet Mountain"
The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro .
Although the name is a bit awkward, fans and fans who are familiar with him call him affectionately: Top .
Even if you haven't seen his work, you must have heard of his masterpieces that go down in history.
From the alternative superhero film "Hellboy" that gave him a firm foothold in Hollywood , to the famous fantasy film "Pan's Labyrinth" , to the mecha monster film "Pacific Rim" .
The eccentric director has conquered the world with his grotesque imagination while freely using elements of horror and magic.
In 2017, with a fantasy-themed "The Shape of Water" , he started from the Venice Film Festival and swept the awards of major famous film festivals all the way.
The story also begins with a little girl who just lost her mother.
The heroine Edith has had a pair of yin and yang eyes since her mother's death and can see ghosts.
On the night of her mother's burial, her mother's ghost appears.
Remind Edith to watch out for a place called "Crimson Peak" when he grows up .
The young Edith was only afraid, completely ignorant of what those words meant.
Growing up, Edith became an amateur writer with a passion for fiction writing.
But publishers have repeatedly rejected her work.
Because her works are not about ghosts or undead, they lack the love element that female writers are good at.
Edith was angry at this stereotype, and she guessed that the handwriting in the submission must be too feminine.
In order to dispel the prejudice of the publishing house, she decided to use the printer of her father's company to write the manuscript.
On this day, when she was burying her head in typing, she accidentally met Thomas ( played by Hidden) who came to discuss the mining business with Edith's father Carter .
Thomas greatly admired Edith's work, which made Edith's impression of this handsome gentleman full.
But father after hearing Thomas' pitch.
I just feel that the mining concept Thomas said is nothing more than a piece of paper.
Thomas is nothing but a young man with a good skin but a difficult climate.
All this made Edith see.
The experience of having talent but not being recognized at the same time resonated with Edith.
It didn't take long for the two to fall in love.
After Carter's accidental death, the two remarried.
Edith then followed Thomas back to his home in England, Sharp Manor .
Edith, who married into the old house, began to experience many unusual things.
She began to cough frequently, and her illnesses continued.
And there seems to be life other than them in the huge ancient house .
Every night, Edith could feel a shadow floating around the house.
There were also some terrifying reverberations.
Every time she returned from a dream at midnight, Edith woke up to find that her husband was not around.
And Thomas' sister Lucille is also very eccentric.
It is clear that Edith is the owner of the manor, but Lucille is in charge of the key.
Not to mention his inexplicable desire to control his brother, he always looked at Edith.
In addition to these, after walking in the middle of the night again and again, Edith found many mysterious objects.
Tapes locked in cupboards, gramophones hidden in cellars, bottomless pools of blood-red clay and old photos of Thomas, and more...
When Edith started to feel something was wrong, Thomas told her another startling news:
It is also called "Scarlet Mountain" because of its rich scarlet soil .
His mother's advice from many years ago echoed in his ears again, making Edith's back shiver.
As the clues are gradually pieced together.
Edith found that this manor was a little different from the imagined manor.
This pair of siblings also seems to be hiding an unspeakable secret...
Edith began to feel that he might just be a pawn in a huge conspiracy.
She must choose between her beloved husband, Thomas, and increasingly ominous warnings from the supernatural.
As a work from six years ago, "Scarlet Mountain" is not conventional in terms of special effects or scene layout.
This is largely due to the director's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
A cold knowledge:
The spinning top director was previously a prop artist.
Such meticulous work has also created his meticulous character, and he is very strict with the details of the film.
This also achieves the oil painting-like heaviness and sense of story of "Scarlet Mountain" .
There are two sets of furniture in the castle, large and small. When the character is afraid, large furniture is used to set off emotions, and small furniture is usually used to form a contrast;
The word "fear" on the wings of the butterfly is a deliberate psychological suggestion;
Lucille quarreled with her younger brother, and stabbed Thomas in the face with a knife in a fit of rage, the sound of metal and bone rubbing was heart-pounding...
These scenes flash by in the movie, but the tops are still striving for perfection.
There are also red skeleton ghosts that often haunt at night, exuding a black atmosphere.
With the eerie and eerie music, it gives people a strong visual impact from time to time.
Most importantly, ghosts don't just exist to create the thrilling atmosphere of an old house.
They represent the incarnation of the remnants of the deceased .
They push the plot to the climax, and gradually guide Edith to gradually discover the truth hidden in the dark corner.
The main color in the film is red, and the red in the first half always reveals the unknown temptation and danger.
The back represents blood, revenge and more fiery humanity.
There are not too many bloody scenes, and it always comes to the throat in my heart, and it stops abruptly.
The setting of silent is better than sound, fully mobilized the imagination of the audience, and let everyone fall into the cycle of thinking and fear.
As an ancient house thriller, it has a horror atmosphere, it has a sense of suspense, and it also has ghosts.
In short, a hodgepodge of various elements, but the shape is scattered and the spirit is not scattered .
Whether it's the unexpected twist at the end, or the clues that pave the way for each story, they're all well-designed.
In addition, the film also has a layer of social issues alert.
The ghost had nowhere to seek justice and found Edith, and Edith also discovered the secrets of the ancient house through them.
Isn't this a kind of causal reincarnation of mutual assistance?
The director just extracted these elements from real life and amplified these human evils in a bloody and terrifying way.
What is scary is not the ghost, but the human heart.
