New Horror Movies in the Information Age

Annie 2022-03-24 09:02:38

It's rare to write another review, this "Unfriended" managed to attract me to watch it with its social network ghost theme, and the control of the horror plot can make the audience most of the time not. Out of sight. Part of the reason why I prefer this film is because I really appreciate films with a single background, such as "12 Angry Men", "This Man From Earth", the plot of these films must be interesting, otherwise the use of a single scene cannot make the audience at the same time. Concentrate, and that's a fiasco. In general, this is not a well-made, compact movie, but the novel themes and shooting techniques add a lot to it. At the same time, it combines the current lifestyle of young people and the social network factor to expand the audience and cater to the audience. The taste of the younger generation. As for the plot, I don't say much, and I don't have much to think about. It's not a brain-burning suspense movie, just a traditional American ghost movie. Here I want to say that suspense films and violent and bloody films have always been Hollywood's strengths, but ghost films, involving ghosts and ghosts, are rarely excellent. PS "Hidden" is one. The ghost form of this film still cannot be separated from the old model, but through the horror of social networks, although it has been filmed before, and even in Hong Kong in the 1990s, there were films like "Internet Weird Talk" (not bad), but they were not the focus. There are three keywords for this film: our network; "colorful high school life" (American); no one is perfect. Let's talk about "our network" first. The main thread of the film is the video group chat on skype. Most of the scenes are also the interface of the heroine's mac, interspersed with the perspectives of many leading actors. And the leader of everything, the ghost of the Internet, died of cyber violence himself. Take a look at these and connect with the reality of our lives. Although we are Chinese who do not use facebook and twitter, similar social software emerges in an endless stream. This is truly a major focus of contemporary people's life - online social networking. In terms of subject matter, it caters well to this information age. Your words and deeds on the Internet cannot be erased. People should be responsible for what they do, even in virtual The internet. The subject matter is good, and there is nothing worth looking into. I just don’t know if there will be any psychological shadows when everyone has a video group chat after watching the film. Then comes the paradox of the whole movie, a group of high school students who are much older than me watching the "colorful campus life" (both on and off campus). It may be difficult for Chinese people to understand the kind of campus life of foreigners, but studying abroad or college students may feel a little bit about their way of life. Of course, our focus will not be on their parties or dance parties, the focus is on "tear and force". I really feel that this kind of tearing is the same all over the world. The main group is of course women, and of course men are not much better, but the tearing of girls is more sincere and strange, and they are not as open-minded and generous as most men. (To be honest, female compatriots don't spray) I believe that female audiences will easily be brought into this line, and they will definitely scold XXX Bichi after watching it. "Nobody's perfect", as the ghost said "every one of you has dirty little secrets". Combined with the tearing and brute force mentioned above, sometimes there is a group of peace on the surface, or it is a gang, you stab me in the back, I will fuck you, sorry for using such vulgar words, but this is how the film reacts. The Internet is a very good surface and the best mask. In real life, you have to wear a mask anyway, so why not use the Internet, a tool that spreads more widely, to make yourself better. So in life, I also advocate trusting others, don't go into it, because some things will not be what you want to see, why bother yourself, if people want to hide it, just let them go. At the back end of the film, the evil of human nature is very well reflected, and it is not really a big evil. But it is these "little evils". In this era of information explosion, in an environment where people are generally on the line, they will be magnified geometrically, and the consequences are difficult to estimate. In reality, you can also see how many people lost their lives because of trivial matters. At the end, the movie is good and worth watching, but the collection is free. The more you connect with your own life, the more resonance you will have. As for the ethics of being a human being, in fact, I don't think the director promotes his own moral values.

    I read 2 first, but I think 1 looks better. The open and secret fight between several people is a bit interesting, but I still can't stand the chattering American imperial middle school students.

    I can't watch horror movies with very low requirements...
