Faces in the Crowd

The plot is a little procrastinated, but the plot setting of face amnesia is quite innovative. Many people may think why they can't distinguish by sound. This can also be said to be a big loophole in the rationality of the plot. The description of the human face in the movie camera has done a lot of work. After Anna was attacked and suffered from facial amnesia, it was difficult for us in front of the screen to distinguish the characters in the movie. things in general.

There is a scene in the movie: Anna is in a class in kindergarten, and there are more than a dozen children with identical faces in the classroom. This is really a very strange scene. However, there is an illogical point here. The mother who came to pick up her daughter found out that her daughter was picked up by her ex-husband. Since Anna has prosop-agnosia face amnesia instead of Amnesia amnesia, it is impossible to lose memory. A scene of things, the logic of the movie can't be so rigorous.

Going back to the main line of the movie, who is the murderer of the serial murder case? It's very simple. I had already guessed it from the performance of the little boy in the middle of the movie, and then the plot was a bit slow, from going to Koel Island, to Anna accepts hypnosis, etc., but the focus of the movie seems to have shifted from the murder case to the symptoms of facial amnesia itself, just like warm water slowly heated by a small fire, waiting for a long time, but losing that kind of boiling surprise .

Milla Jovovich's performance is still in place, either frightened, panicked, or confused. Compared with her action films, there are fewer such "female" films, perhaps because she is accustomed to her sturdy image of holding guns in both hands, quite a bit. Not suitable.

    I really can't understand her frightened look. She always felt that in the next second she would take out a handful of violence against people suddenly

    This disease is quite scary, and I don't even know how to make this movie.

Faces in the Crowd quotes

  • Dr. Langenkamp: Faces are the barcode of the human race. Ever since mankind went tribal, we're constantly looking at each others faces trying to decide whether they're friends, foes, or lovers. Don't underestimate the seriousness of your condition, Miss Marchant.

  • Dr. Langenkamp: Everyone always goes on about sight, hearing, smelling. But there's another sense. A hidden one. The Japanese call it mooka. It's the sense that allows you to walk without having to thinking about putting one foot in front of the other. You loose this sense and you will become like some of my other patients. Socially paralyzed, withdrawing from the world into the safety of isolation. That's a tempting option.

    Anna Marchant: I don't want that. I want to live normally.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Every day people are going to resent you for not recognizing who they are. They'll call you rude, forgetful, stupid, liar. Now, are you willing to fight back? With all your might?

    Anna Marchant: Yeah.

    Dr. Langenkamp: To try and try again without loosing heart. Without giving an inch!

    Anna Marchant: Yes.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Good. then lets get to work.
