I really don't know how some domestic translations came from. Just by looking at the ghostly movie posters, you can tell whether it is a thriller or a horror movie, such as "Journey of Life", "Afterlife", "Behind the Dead" The Chinese translation of "The Thing" is really far-fetched, and the vulgar name "Spiritual Life and Death" has a bit of a Hong Kong and Taiwan flavor that wants to attract audiences to the theater.
The two protagonists of the film, Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson, are both actors I like, and I noticed this work because of their relationship. Christina has never participated in the bustle of the commercial market. She has a small body that is fragile to the touch, with a non-standard melon seed noodles, and a pair of round and convex cat eyes under her broad forehead that never know where to look. With a slightly weird one-line toothy smile under her nose, such a natural and alternative beauty embryo is a perfect match for this type of film. In recent years, the films she starred in are even more slanted, and the sacrifices she made can be said to be not small. Well, Nissen, needless to say, the old drama bone, acting has taste, master!
When you first watch this drama, it will feel like a tragedy about the soul's nostalgia for the world. After watching it, you realize that the director is laying ambush and setting traps all the way, and is telling a detective drama about the heroine, whether Anna was murdered or not. , It really reminds me of "C+ Detective", I always thought I was watching a detective movie, and finally found out that it was a ghost movie. Of course, the skills of Hollywood screenwriters are placed there. There are layers of layers in the movie, so that you can raise your eyebrows, and you don't know if Anna is dead or not. That's why I watched it twice, hoping to get close to the answer.
1. Deacon said to Anna very early: "What others see is the corpse lying on the board, only I can see the real you." That is to say that Anna is a soul or something, but from the beginning to the end, Anna can only see the real you. Seeing oneself in front of a mirror is different from the situation where a soul can see its own body when out of the body;
2. During the four days, there were two other corpses in the dressing room where Anna stayed. Why couldn't Anna, who belonged to the same soul, meet their souls?
3. People in the East and the West generally believe that the soul of a person will always remain in the state of death after death, but Anna's own brown hair was washed away by Dickon, and her soul and body were restored to their original state. Black hair;
4. Deacon has been using injections to inject drugs into Anna. At first, he didn't see what it was. Later, he noticed in a close-up slow motion that the bottle was marked "hydronium bromide". After checking it online, it translated as "hydronium bromide" It should be mentioned by a policeman next to Paul when he went to the police station and asked Tommy to help him examine the body: "Hydrating sleeping pills can make people instantly paralyzed, and their heartbeats slow to almost stop. 5.
As the soul of Anna, her ability is too powerful, she can knock over the equipment and equipment in the whole room, or steal Deacon's key and break the key when opening the lock, but what I have The education received is that if a soul wants to achieve the above-mentioned abilities, it takes hundreds or thousands of years of hard training. Anna is so fierce, no wonder Deacon hurried back after discovering that the key was stolen. It is estimated that he was afraid of Anna's "mana". "It's too high to be seen by others...
6. Anna can leave water vapor on the mirror when she sighs in front of the mirror! The first time was erased nervously and quickly by Deacon, and the second time was brought to a climax by Anna's discovery. Everyone on earth knows the reason.
After describing the trap on Anna, let's talk about Deacon, an uncle who likes to fool people.
When Anna woke up from a car accident, the first person she saw was Deacon. Deacon began his journey of flickering. He kept telling Anna that she was dead, and he got the autopsy report, the needle didn't hurt, the whole body couldn't move, the mirror Previous tricks such as zombies have been used to prove this point, and it is estimated that a person who is injected with strong sedatives all day, plus a few days of not eating or drinking can also have this effect. In order for Anna to go on the road with peace of mind, Deacon also discussed ideological issues with her. The topic was "Why Do You Need to Live". Through repeated exchanges, Deacon asked Anna to say what she cared about most - being loved, but afraid of to be loved. It may be because of the influence of the mother (the side of the mother in the wheelchair reflects that she may have been hurt by love in the past). Anna's confession made Deacon make a bold argument, letting Anna leave and rediscovering her own happiness, but Anna, who believed that she was dead at this time, did not know whether she was really afraid of being loved, or whether it was too much sedative, but she didn't dare to. Half a step away from the door, at this moment, Deacon can draw a conclusion: you say you are afraid of dying, but in fact, you are more afraid of living. Mind you, Deacon is talking about you, who are you referring to? It is estimated that he is not the only one who has been fooled by Anna. There are many photos of the remains that he "served" in Deacon's studio. There are two forms, one is with closed eyes (of course), the other is He opened his eyes like Anna, what does that mean, think for yourself. But it is also strange that so many people, do the hospital also have accomplices...
One of these open-eyed photos has to be mentioned, that is Anna's piano teacher. He is the first "dead" at the beginning of the movie, perhaps because Anna saw a scene that she should not have said she saw - lying on the coffin Nei's piano teacher's mouth moved, and this scene was also discovered by Deacon, probably because of this reason, Deacon began to have the idea of flicking Anna. It is estimated that he can't wait, because Anna is younger than him and can survive better than him, so Deacon followed Anna and found that Anna had driven away after a big quarrel with Paul, and decided to make Anna burn incense ahead of time on this rainy and slippery night. Yes, I made up this paragraph, but there is some basis. Before the accident, it was Deakin's car who was behind Anna's car, the accelerator flashed and the lights honked. This is a small detail. You can refer to Deakin to refuel the car. time situation. In order to achieve the effect of flickering, sometimes it is necessary to use some tough methods. Relatives come to give a little bit, her boyfriend comes to close the door to thank guests, the police come to watch from the side, the heroine finally exposes it and then force a little bit, and the body is buried directly after saying goodbye. thing. In the end, even Paul, who had always been skeptical, did not let go, and used his extremely provocative language to stimulate the drunk Paul, causing the drunk driving Paul to have a car accident on the way to the cemetery, and finally fell into Deacon's own hands. Neat, no trouble... To put it politely, Deacon is like a death god with a sickle behind his career as an undertaker, and to put it mildly, he is a morbid murderer!
This pervert even opened classes to teach apprentices when he was fooling others, and accepted little Jack under his own door for training. It is estimated that Deacon had this plan long ago. Have you ever seen that child running into the cemetery all day long? ! You can also watch the remains calmly up close! ! The afterlife is terrifying. At the beginning of the movie, Little Jack pointed to a sick chicken and said it was dead. He didn't know what to do, so he could only listen to Teacher Anna and take it home and take good care of it. The conversation between Deacon and Jake in the cemetery was a ritual, Deacon buried Jake with his own perverted theories: only I can see those lifeless people like walking dead, these people To make the living suffer, will make the living lose hope, so these pits are dug for these corpses. After listening to this program of Deacon's arbitrary taking of other people's lives, little Jack took the shovel in Deacon's hand and joined the group obediently. In the end, the little chicken was experimental and let little Jack be buried alive. Uncle Deacon is really confident, killing and educating people.
The content of this film is actually very rich. It is echoed by the intersection of bright and dark lines. It can be seen that the director of the film really wants to make a work with depth, but it is a pity that there are two failures. First, the evidence of the film itself is too sufficient, which weakens the viewer's thinking. There could have been an open ending, allowing the audience to imagine boldly, but because too much evidence was too obvious, the space for association was lost; second, some fearless scary scenes were unnecessary, but instead affected the arrangement of the film. Human imagination is very rich. There was such an incident that a prisoner was bound and imprisoned with a head covering. The prisoner made a joke before his rescue soldiers arrived, picked up a plastic spoon on the ground, After a few strokes at the aorta, he said, "Let's see if your friend came fast or your blood flowed fast!" Finally, when the rescuers found the prisoner, the prisoner was already dead. The captive believed that he was bleeding and that it was an aorta, and he thought of himself to death just by imagining it. People's imagination is infinite. If you come up with something mysterious, you can scare yourself. Anyone who has played "Resident Evil" has this experience. The most terrifying time is the atmosphere before the appearance of zombies, lighting and music sets, etc., When the zombies really appeared, they calmed down, with a gun in their hands, and hit them. Whenever I see the director go so far to create an atmosphere of suspense and terror, I feel that there is a shadow behind the movie, which is "The Shining". Of course, that height is difficult to surpass, but overall it is Yes, there are good counterfeits too.
The reason why I praised this film is because I did feel a little bit furious after watching it. Although Deacon is a perverted killer, what he said is not completely unreasonable. I believe that no one wants to see themselves or their family and friends living in despair and lifeless, just like the corpse mentioned by Deacon, but under the pressure of emotions and life, they are getting deeper and deeper, everyone is hurting each other, and they would rather give up Don't stand up again. In fact, this is how things are. Opportunities are waiting for you. As long as you stand up again, you will be able to see hope again. Life is a one-way journey. The good thing is that you can't see the end. The sad thing is that the end is waiting for you. The most practical thing is to choose to go with the person you love. I believe that the person who truly loves you will always be waiting for you. , whether you appear or not, and whether you really love yourself, the key is to give up and not give up. In any case, the director's intention I received.
