British retro elegance can't be exchanged for money!

The thriller [Little Stranger] opened on a small scale in North America last weekend, and the box office was very sluggish. Produced by Focus Pictures, the film was released in 474 theaters in North America, with a box office revenue of about $420,000, and a single-house box office of only $886.

Money is more intuitive than anything, and from a box office standpoint, the film is a undoubted failure.

What is the director trying to express? If it is suspense, the soundtrack and plot of this film are obviously not enough; the thriller, it is even more invisible; the human nature is not very obvious; the awakening of the aristocratic aristocracy? It's a pity that there are neither inspirational scenes nor ups and downs of the plot.

The ambiguity of the theme sets the tone of failure, and every aspect is different from the type "Atonement". Of course, the original authors, Granny Sarah and Ian McEwan, are not at the same level as writers, but the film and television drama cannot be completely based on the original book. , even if the original work does not have the essence, the crew should create the essence.

The Little Stranger quotes

  • Mrs. Ayres: This house works on people. Girls come here like specks of grit. Then years later, they leave as pearls.

  • Faraday: [Voice over] The first time I saw Hundreds Hall was July 1919. An Empire Day fete, the summer after the Great War. I'd passed by its gates often enough, never imagining they would open to me, a common village boy. There was bunting and cakes and all manner of games. And, at the heart of it, the Ayres family. So happy and handsome back then. But it was the house itself, still in its glory, which somehow impressed me terribly. My mother had described the place often. But seeing it myself for the first time, nothing could have prepared me for the spell it cast that day.
