The film was filmed in 1960. In that conservative era, the film was regarded as a beast of a flood, a demon and a demon, and was almost one-sided by film critics and the media. Many countries also banned the film, making the director's film career almost ruined. . It was not until many years later that with the help of Martin Scorsese, the film was able to see the light of day again, and the film critics who had been harsh in the past also changed their views. In the end, the film was regarded as a classic, and public opinion even believed that it inspired Antonioni's "Breakthrough" and other films.
Perhaps, people do not like to face the dark side of themselves, and they feel angry when people expose the mask of false Taoism. At that time, the terrifying but elegant "Shocking" won praise and applause, but this film was regarded as "toilet paper that should be thrown into the toilet". "Blood Shadow" takes a tortuous path. The most disturbing thing about the film is that it deals with the voyeuristic scene from a first-person perspective, that is, substituting the audience into the psychology and behavior of the protagonist, his "crime", and you "participate" in it. From today's point of view, the sensory stimulation of this film is just a piece of cake. The cult films, murder films of the 1978s, and even the horror films of today are full of blood, but the description of the perverted psychology is still impeccable. , walk in the front.
The protagonist of the film is a cinematographer who was tortured by his scientist father as a child, and also takes erotic pictures as a sideline. In order to overcome his fears, he became a fear collector. He did this by murdering women and filming them. The director's intention is obvious, not only to reveal the dark side of human nature, but also to criticize the audience faintly. The film is based on the filming of a film. One of the murders on the set is detailed. The audience watched the "crime" and also "peeped" at the victim's fear of death. The protagonist obtains pleasure from this, and it is normal for the audience to feel uneasy. We will feel chills with this weird psychology, but, ask yourself, can you really resist this kind of pleasure from the side? The curious reports that can be seen everywhere, the thousands of candid photos on the Internet, and the underground websites that sell eye-catching snuff films all exist according to people's love of "peeping", and the latter is even more so than this film. The situation goes further. Satisfying curiosity is not an excuse to turn everything away. Even if you are caught in fear, can you be redeemed by spreading the fear? Do not! This will only create more shadowy shadows, like tightening the rope around the neck, and eventually leading to a dead end for oneself and others.
When the face of fear appears, it is the moment when the dark side of our hearts is brought to the fore. As this moment comes, hold on to the line of defense that is not controlled by fear. To overcome fear, the first thing to remember is not to make yourself a fear maker.
