A hundred dollars film review

Letitia 2021-12-01 08:01:29



Three months ago, the trailer started, and I and a few friends decided to go into the pit. A week ago, I made a bet with five other friends about who was the last killer. Friends unanimously believe that it is the boy in the trailer; and I insist that it is the hostess's roommate. Twenty bets.

The easiest one hundred dollars in life is earned in this way.

In fact, it is not hard to guess who the murderer is. Can the film produced by the producer of "Escape from the Dead Town" appear in a small-cost suspense film where the real murderer never showed his face before the truth of the whole show? This possibility is minimal. In general, the characters involved in the setting part of the film are basically not the big devil. Therefore, the final murderer must appear in the known trailer, and the male lead's sentence:

"The one who killed you must know that today is your birthday." And the

female roommate's sentence:

"Happy birthday."

Basically, it is completely spoiled from the trailer. The real culprit came.

"Four scenes, third-line actors"

The cost of the film can be said to be very low, and the actors in the middle are all unknown. The total cost is less than 500 million U.S. dollars. what is this concept? The cost of the current "Avengers" series is probably more than $200 million. Able to shoot forty "Happy Death Day". However, the film, with a certain peculiar effect, was back in the day it was printed.

There are four main scenes in the film: the male dormitory building, the female meeting mansion, the hospital, and the restaurant. If it is convenient, the distance of the four scenes may be within one kilometer before and after, which is so simple.

Two murderers

appear in the film " Two murderers, first-rate heroines". I will talk about the true identities of these two murderers separately in the rest.

Needless to say the appearance of the heroine. As far as its appearance is concerned, there are both the charming facial features of Queen S and the straightforward eyes of Queen B. If the nude in the film is not the back but the front, the film will be a god; in terms of its acting performance, I think At least it is a pass, the switch between the leading girls in the girls club and the good girls on campus is unobtrusive. It doesn’t matter if a girl becomes a leader, she is self-centered and disdainful of others.

When a coquettish bitch

cuts into a good girl, the innocent look reflected in his eyes can be said to be perfect with his own harmless face. However, it is a pity that although the heroine can use her eyes to act, her mouth movement is really lacking. When she is frightened, her lip opening is comparable to third-rate adult films and second-rate thrillers, which reminds me of Penny taking a bath in "The Big Bang Theory" The flamboyant acting when encountering the killer orangutan.

Generally speaking, this should be a play supported by a heroine. Similar to "Wonder Woman", if the heroine is not selected, basically you don't need to watch it.



The setting of the film is very simple and straightforward. Basically, the heroine keeps resurrecting and resetting the time. Then, like all reset movies, the heroine must complete a task to break the cycle. In the cycle, the heroine must discover the true meaning of life. However, in recent years, in order to increase the sense of stimulus and urgency, the protagonist has set the protagonist to lose the ability to circulate at a certain stage. Will die completely after the cycle.

Although the heroine did not appear to be weak after N times in the final battle against the real murderer.

There are two real murderers in the film, namely the big devil (hostess's roommate) and the little devil (fugitive). The motive of the big devil killing the heroine is that the heroine girls are too cheap during the lead time, and at the same time they rob the big devil’s sweetheart; while the little devil is a perverted murderer who specializes in hunting young college girls and was used by the big devil to hunt down The hostess several times. In the film, the big and small devil dresses are the same.

The first time she died, the heroine was cut to death with a knife by the Great Demon in the campus aisle.

In the second death, the heroine was cut to death by the Demon King while he was fighting with a boy in the single room of the girl’s mansion.

In the third death, the heroine thought that she could survive by hiding in her room, but was cut to death by the Great Demon King entering the room.

In the fourth death, the heroine began to track down the murderer. Suspected that a member of a campus sports team who had been rejected for one-night stand was caught by the big devil while spying outside her house.

In her fifth death, the hostess suspected that the murderer was the wife of her fellow gunner (the great devil’s favorite medical lecturer) who was drowned outside her mansion.

After the sixth death, the heroine became weak, and she had to be admitted to the hospital where the fugitive pretended to be sick. It was originally suspected that the gunmate was the murderer, but the gunmate was cut to death by the demon king. The hostess stole the car keys and escaped and met the traffic police. Originally wanted to escape into the prison through the traffic police, the devil killed the traffic police, and then set off the female owner's car. Regarding whether this is the big devil and the little devil, I have been arguing with a few friends for a long time. I think it is the little devil, because the little devil is taller than the gun friend, and the heroine and the big devil are shorter than the gun friend.

In the seventh death, the heroine mistakenly thought that the killer was the little devil, and rushed into the hospital to try to remind the guards, but she was late. The little devil killed the male protagonist Xiao Baimian and was knocked down by the female protagonist. The heroine is worried that the timeline will return after she survives and Xiao Bailian's death is a foregone conclusion, so she commits suicide to reset the timeline.

On the eighth death, the heroine's life reversed and switched to Wonder Woman mode. After a warm affection with Xiao Bailian and his father, he went to the hospital to kill the little devil. However, he didn't expect to die because he ate the cake from the Great Demon King.

After the ninth death, the heroine thought that the timeline had been broken, but was reset again. After being panicked, she returned to the girl's meeting mansion to discover the plan of the big devil. In the scuffle, the heroine kills the big devil.

Tenth death, ha ha, let's go and see for yourself.

(Subsequent editing. The second brush only found out that I had missed it twice. One was hit and killed by a bus, and the other was beaten to death by the big devil's wooden stick.)

Some details of the

film are actually very interesting. For example, in recent years, Universal Studios has started to spoof the LOGO animation of the title based on the style of different films. For example, in the movie "Minions", Universal Studios changed the LOGO music to "Minions" babble; Tom's "Mummy", the LOGO animation was painted in black to reflect "The Mummy" belongs to the "Dark Universe" series; And this "Happy Death" because of the time reset involved, the LOGO animation of Universal Studios was repeated three times. I have to say that this detail is quite interesting.

In addition, I have to say that the translation of the Chinese name "Happy Death Day" can be said to be a four-level word. The editor of the translation deserves a bonus.

First, the literal translation of Death Day can be said to be "the day of death". The literal translation of the title "Happy Death Day" can be described as simple and easy to understand.

Second, the heroine did die several times on this day, so it is reasonable to say that it is the "day of death".

Third, the female protagonist’s mother’s birthday is the same day as the female protagonist’s, and the female protagonist constantly cherishes the memory of her dead mother in this film.

Fourth, the last shot of the film gave a sentence: Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of the life (may remember it wrong, but the meaning should be correct). In terms of meaning, even if the heroine survives in the end, because her life has restarted, today is indeed the "day of death." Coincidentally, my ID name is "Another Day", which really fits the idea of ​​the film.

If Wanwan is allowed to translate, maybe the title of the film will become "God and Ghost Reversal", "God and Ghost Do Not Die", "God and Ghost's Day of Death".

Finally, the film was selected on Friday, and the premiere on the 13th was also very interesting. 13 is a demon's number, and Friday is a black metaphor. Generally this time is the release time of most horror movies.

The only thing I feel slightly inadequate is that there is no explanation for the source of the heroine's reset time. Of course, in terms of the substance and the cost of the film, the ins and outs are actually not very important.
