For example, George's voice - the first time I heard his voice gave me a kind of creep, yes, his voice is really charming, recall only the two males in "Sniper Phone Booth" and "V for Vendetta" The protagonist is comparable to it. He didn't show his face either, but he showed it with his voice. "Magnetic voice" should be what it means, but there is something creepy about this magnetic voice, as well as his words and tone, which make people shudder, but can't stop.
There are also a few points of explanation: Amy's prolonged presence of George's presence in her own secret place, the plastic bucket that kept Meghan, and when George buried Amy, all Amy's words seemed to be directed at The camera said it so much that we had to wonder, what else could Amy have to say when the camera wasn't on?
Apart from the above points, I have to say that the film is very realistic. The manual camera and blurry pictures create a real atmosphere. I have seen a very similar movie "rec" before. This is also the style, so that if it is not explained before and after the film, it can be equivalent to a real documentary. My previous evaluation of this film was "a step beyond the boundaries of film".
"Meghan's Disappearance" is even more "real" than the aforementioned films.
This kind of film can only be released in this era. Such a naked, detailed and real reflection of evil that people can even learn technical things from it.
The naked crime plot was once vividly shown in "Irrevocable", and it was listed as a banned film because of the actual rape plot. But even so, the audience can at least exist by a sense of distance - the film's expression has already hinted to the audience in another way: this is a movie. And "rec" pulls the distance between reality and the movie in the plot: using a terrifying biological demon to pull the distance from reality. "Missing" combines the two, reducing the distance between the film and reality again, and even blurring the two.
Of course, we can imagine that the author's intention may be to warn the world, in this era, perverted murderers are everywhere, and they can do anything. So, every child, parents of children, and everyone else, beware.
While the director wanted to say this (if we don't misinterpret it), the film itself said something of its own. evil reality.
Indeed, in this age, we must have the consciousness to protect ourselves, so we need to understand what evil is and to defend against it. Let's not say whether the film has provided us with a defense against evil. All "immune boosting" approaches are often ineffective. Evil is different from good in that it cannot be guided by good. That is to say, when the good tries to correct the evil by understanding the evil, the good is often corrupted by the evil. The ancient Greek poet Theognes expressed this in his poems. The fact is also the case, we will find that when a good and evil country intersect, it is often the latter that corrupts the former. One reason is that good finds its own way, while evil is omnipotent. Compared with the influence of good, evil is too powerful. We can also look back at our history. What is recorded in history is the writing of great achievements. The more distant the emperor and the monarch, the more virtue he has. Of course we should distinguish between history and reality. In other words, real history and handed down history. Judging from some archaeological research materials, modern people generally feel that there is no essential difference between ancient and modern human beings. Good things are few and far between, and evil things are clearly visible. Therefore, there will be a matter of "honoring the present and thinning the past", because the past and the present are the same, and coupled with the idea of progress, modern times are naturally better.
But the more important question is why history books differ from real history. Moreover, history books are often good deeds that record great achievements. Even if there are many Shang, Zhou, Xia Jie, wine and meat forests, they are far less than good records. Moreover, for those evils, they do not record their behaviors in detail, but often discuss them in general terms. The reason for this is undeniable.
Because the ancients knew that evil is to be punished, and good is to be preached. Why? Because good is good and evil is bad. Tiandao ethics, natural common sense. It is the strangest thing to ask why good people are good, and even evil people have a distinction between good and bad. No one does not want to be "good", but there are specific situations that cannot be dictated. So we will also see in the film that when facing the camera, Meghan will lie that she is a positive person with a warm and proud mother. No one does not pursue good. It's just that in action, some people will think it's bad, that's good, and others will have a left-wing opinion. Socrates said: No one intends to do evil. It's just that few of us recognize what is "good", or "good" (good). Human intelligence is limited, so knowledge is limited. Only knowledge in the ultimate sense can recognize the "good" in the ultimate sense. At this point, the truth in the truth-seeking of knowledge is one with the good.
One-sided truth is not good, on the contrary it will obscure the truth and also the good.
So when showing the "true", you have to be cautious. It is certainly good to thoroughly expose evil, but it is really difficult and difficult to cultivate goodness with "evil". Only a certain level of cultivation and understanding can be achieved in order to achieve positive results-Buddhism has already pointed out this path. Therefore, the right path still starts with goodness, and everything is taught by goodness. It is very difficult to succeed if you take the left-handed way. The ancients have long understood it, so in the history books, the promotion of the right way is the most important thing. Even if there are some examples of evil to be used as a warning, they often talk about a few strokes and use the leaves to complement the flowers. Because they know that it's really hard for ordinary people to abstain from evil. Not only in China, Plato also emphasized in the "Utopia" that the education of the people should focus on virtue, and opposed Homer's performance of the evil of Zeus and other gods - because this may lead to the corruption of the people who lack the virtue of temperance.
When enlightenment brought light, it also brought a pursuit of "equality" and "brightness". This pursuit requires that everything be shown to everyone, and everyone has the same right to know the truth. But to consider whether the truth is suitable for opening to all. If it is a person who is determined and unmoved, however, such people are rare in the world, and most of them are ordinary people. Moreover, the truth brought by enlightenment is not the comprehensive truth (comprehensive truth is not, nor can it be completely) To show people), the enlightenment of the good is enough, but the enlightenment of the evil may lead to partiality.
Therefore, such a one-sided reality (the presentation of the film must also be one-sided, we cannot imagine a comprehensive - and this is impossible - reality) film is not suitable for public release.
