As the word of mouth spread, "Buried Alive" is a movie that only needs one actor, a snake as the protagonist, a lighter, a mobile phone and a few bright tools as props, with the coffin as the only scene in the play , which was filmed.
It is not uncommon for a movie to be made in one scene. The local "Night Club" was shot in a 24-hour supermarket, and "Sniper Phone Booth" was also an excellent movie completed in a phone booth space. However, it's the first time I've seen a film like "Buried Alive" that is cramped in a coffin that can't even be turned over.
After watching the length of the movie, I began to worry about how such a film with not rich elements would go on and how it could go on. Especially the endless darkness in the first few minutes of the film made me unnecessarily apprehensive. At that time, as the tight and tense plot progressed, it directly dispelled my doubts.
Although there are few elements, the content of what happened in this coffin is very full. The front, as anyone's reaction to such a thing, is struggle. He opened the zippo and tried to see clearly the predicament he was in by the firelight, trying to recall the reason for the predicament, and let his hands loose. At this time, all the information was unfamiliar to the audience. The audience had to follow Paul's exploration, and under the guidance of his sight, they could find out the situation around him simultaneously.
Then, the appearance of a mobile phone ignited the hopeless survival process. Excellent signal, lasting power, for Paul to make a distress call to his company and various departments in the United States that deal with terrorists, and in a few phone calls, he can see the warmth of the world - there is an eagerness to wash. There are companies with no conscience who have cleared their contractual relationships, government departments who push each other's responsibilities, and "friends" who hang up the phone when they are impatient and put the other party's safety at risk. The most refreshing thing is the sorry sentence.
But at least, even if they push each other, even if the rescue is ineffective, at least the connection with the outside world gives Paul hope of survival. Like any of us ordinary people, Paul is not a super hero, nor does he have super strong martial arts self-defense. When we are thrown into a coffin with our hands tied up, we may not be able to save ourselves at all. Beat the coffin with both hands, even if our bones are hard enough, after the coffin is hammered, the sand and stones above the coffin will cover us, and we will eventually die; if we do nothing, then we can only live in endless In the dark, anxiously counting down to life, with the exhaustion of oxygen, finally death. There will be no exception among 10,000 people, even if a living being can escape from your side, but you are not a snake, you must be realistic enough.
Therefore, "Buried Alive" uses people buried deep in the ground to dig out all kinds of helplessness, all kinds of unwillingness to give up the desire to survive before facing death, and the warmth and warmth of human nature before death, using one actor, one scene , tells us a story about hope that seems absurd but true.
It's nice to see how this story goes in one go. It never had any broken parts. When one distress call came to an end, Paul quickly regained hope and threw himself into the next tense cry for help, climaxing one after another.
There are some bugs. For example, some people have tested that the burning time of Zippo is not so long. Also, some netizens have found that the battery power has "accidentally" rebounded to two after it dropped to one bar. What needs to be questioned is the problem of oxygen. In such a small space, how can it withstand the two-hour ventilation of an adult man, and how can it withstand the long-term burning activities of Zippo and a large-scale burning snake operation? And, when the terrorist dropped a mobile phone and let the hostage take a video for help, why was the terrorist so stupid to tie his hands? How would he answer the phone if he hadn't found the unfastened nail?
Although there are bugs, but after all, it does not affect the overall viewing, 17 days of shooting results, more than 90 minutes of one-stop viewing experience, sincerely recommend~
