-scenes production of
slaughter movies is too much in the field of today's horror movies. The series and the horror hotel are based on the plot of torture and murder to show the perverted behavior of twisted psychology. Although this "Martyr" is also based on the plot of torture and murder, it is a rare two-way correspondence between the victim and the perpetrator. , to show the difference and contradiction between the external perception and the subjective perception of the victim or perpetrator.
The screenwriter created a character who was abused and a character that symbolized the outside world's point of view, to show the complex state of the twisted mind of the abused and the psychology of the perpetrators thought by the outside world. The psychology of guilt is replaced, and this kind of horror is created by the reality imagined by the perpetrator. The same narrative technique was also played in "Haute Tension", but "The Martyr" has constantly changed the point of view of the development of the plot, From the role of the victim and the behavior of the perpetrator, the behavior of the perpetrator contains the psychological struggle of the victim, and behind the killing, there is an unknown psychological pain. However, in the same type of movies, it seems that The filming ends here, but "The Martyr" makes full use of the quickly edited child abuse scenes in the first half, resulting in a shocking mystery.
After returning to the outside world's point of view, the truth of the torture and murder is revealed, and another episode of the victim's psychology is opened, and these episodes are also consistent with the first half of the victim's protagonist Lucy flashed before the abuse scene. It's just that this time it's not just a quick edit, but a continuous screen shot to record the entire horrific abuse plot. The audience's expectations and Anna's expectations are consistent with each other, but the director's first half of "The Martyr" is From Lucy's subjective point of view to describe the hallucinations caused by the distortion of his inner mind.
When returning to the perspective of objective reality, he used the plot of abuse to describe it again from the perspective of the victim, and these seemingly intractable spiritual mysteries were given reasonable explanations by the director at the end. It is quite different from the pattern of ordinary killing films. The ultimate goal of the director is to show the influence of the human distortion of the dark mind.
