When I was a child, I was very timid. Every time I went home at night, I would trot and walk around, for fear that someone would call my name behind my back. When I sleep at night, I always feel that something under the bed will sneak up on the bed, and there must be some terrible monster hidden in the closet.
One night when I was 15 years old, I turned off the lights in a huge room and watched the three films in one go. The bell of midnight and the catastrophe of the python. I don’t know if it was because of the fatigue bombing. Anyway, I thought that was the case, no Just put putty on the wall and put on a white coat. . . . Since then, the road to crazy horror films has started.
The story takes place in the United States in the 1960s, as "A Tale of Two Cities" said: it was the best of times and the worst of times. It's hippies, it's rock music, it's alcohol and drug promiscuity, it's an era of anarchist nothingness. Faith cannot sustain the moral confusion and emotional lack of freedom. Ellen, a college student who loves painting, has an inexplicable fascination with death. On Halloween, Allen was preparing for a concert with his friend John Lennon when he received news that his mother had suffered a stroke. Allen hitched a ride to the hospital. And the journey of death begins. (The tone of the road movie is very touching, and the soundtrack is not bad)
He meets crazy hippies, old people, hares and wolves, gets chased by drunks with guns, and experiences the death vertigo of roller coasters in his childhood amusement park. , and finally he got on the car of death and was forced to choose one of his seriously ill mother and himself to survive.
When danger is approaching, survival is an instinct, but if the person is willing to die, things become less simple. Trying to get close to death, and struggling when it comes, what kind of state of mind is this?
We are born knowing that death is doomed. Just like the dying old man in the film, fend for itself; just like the rabbit and the wolf in the film, the weak eat the strong.
The father's nominal cause of death was a car accident, but it was just a mother's white lie to comfort her son. Compared with suicide, accident is a decent and tactful way to die.
The biggest climax of the whole film is that Allen needs to make a choice in his own life and that of his mother. Although the screenwriter gave a perfect ending in the end, it is an indisputable fact that the fear of death has overcome morality.
Movies exist for more than just entertainment.
The heart of horror is death.
Death is a taboo subject. On the one hand, it is the meaninglessness of death under atheism. On the other hand, fear makes us refuse to discuss death, just like Voldemort is always just called that person.
Some people say that the ultimate fear of mankind comes from death. Overcome the fear of death, and you can be free from the pain of the world. Such an idea is ridiculous.
In the face of life and death, we have no choice but to admire.
I love watching horror movies, of course it's a very broad and vague concept. The subject matter is strange, or pure ghost film, or alien creature, or religious worship, or black comedy; the shooting method is unique, with the meaning of experiment, the sword is slanted, the style is abnormal; it is controversial, psychological thriller, flesh and blood Fly, there are no restrictions. So essentially I'm still a cult fan.
From a purely geographical point of view,
oriental horror films mainly focus on revenge in terms of themes. Going back and forth can't get around the main line of resentment killing people. In the early years of Hong Kong's "Yin and Yang Road", Japan's "The Grudge", South Korea's "Stranger Things", Thailand's "Ghost".
In Oriental horror films, the female ghost in white is definitely the protagonist of the protagonist, and the man is the supporting role of the supporting roles. See "A Chinese Ghost Story" for details. . . . .
Western horror movies are mainly based on brain pumping (haha, there are a lot of perverts~~~), and most of the entry points are also in the evil of human nature. Hitchcock's collection of short films, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Death is Coming", in which the protagonists are often male figures (Death is no exception). The love for blood plasma and aliens was enduring, and the Alien series reached its peak.
This may be the difference between Eastern and Western philosophies—the cognition of the good and evil of human nature.
Even in the same small production situation, the tragic oriental horror films are still tactful, and they are not comparable to the unstinting use of blood plasma and brains by Western directors. Some Eastern horror films can be enjoyed as paintings, while most Western horror films should not be too full to watch. The sound effects of Hong Kong horror films in the early years were very good, and the reverberation was not a lie.
In general, the two kinds of fear are completely different, and there is still fear after fear, such as Eastern works such as The Grudge. And after the fear, there is still thinking about Western works that do not sell well.
Under the heavy taste, the psychological shadow cast by various eccentricities and deformities can reflect the inner life of life far more than normal behavior.
Minotaur, a monster with a tauren body, lives in the center of the labyrinth, eats flesh and blood, but has a beautiful name "Asnirion" (stars).
