"There can only be one reason, and that is unspoken"

Strictly speaking, this is an American (Mexican?) attempt to tell the story of a pair of British sisters and brothers.

British sisters and brothers are in love, these six words are very interesting in themselves. Britain, a gloomy and obscure island with its own Gothic effect, which is isolated from the main continent of Europe for many years, has many such stories since ancient times. Outside the literary works, there are widely rumored stories of Shelley and her sister. Within the literary works, I have read Maugham's short film "The Bookbag". But unlike Scarlet Mountain, in the gossip or literature I have read, there is usually an indescribable tenderness between siblings, in stark contrast to the harshness of the external situation. Commonly known as conquering cruelty with love and tenderness...

Crimson Peak, as a gothic story told by an American, the presupposition of the story structure is different, which is understandable. The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that Hidden gradually fell in love with the second female (although I don't understand it was Mao, Mia didn't seem to be doing anything, neither showing great looks nor working together with excavator skills... see Come to do not ask so true love). Under this premise, my sister has become a psychologically imbalanced woman, so the model worker's "release" skill max perfectly deduces this anger line; unfortunately, the "receive" skill is lacking, so I can't read her. The love for my younger brother... just

hate or not love, the story line can't be compared with the outside world, the natural tension is not enough... but it's not so scary. The last few tricks with small knives and small brushes have been complained about 800 times, so I won't repeat them. As written in the other comments, I also only had my daughter's mother scared the dog the first two times, and then... no more.

The picture is still very good-looking, and Dousen is also very good-looking. The development of the story is still quite suspenseful. It persisted for half of the process, until Mia and Shirson returned from the snowy night when they were trapped outside. When I saw the reaction of the model worker, I suddenly remembered the sentence that Maugham revealed in the book bag. Words: "There can only be one reason, and that can't be said. Yes, I know how. That explains everything".

Anyway, I only spent six yuan and two cents to watch the morning show, and I still think it is worth it!

If you like the story type of the movie Scarlet Mountain, then I would like to recommend the "Malay Tales" which includes Maugham's "Book Bag". Full of tension.

    After reading it, the impression is that only the model worker is left.

    An independent new female writer in the old society mistakenly married a declining noble and progressive young inventor, a ghostly house and a aunt. The parts without ghosts are pretty good-looking, especially the sense of the times in the first half of the American paragraph, and the latter is obviously tacky. The old-school gothic classical feelings are good, I thought it would end like "The Fall of Usher's Building"

Crimson Peak quotes

  • Thomas Sharpe: [about to dance] I've always closed my eyes to things that made me uncomfortable. It makes everything easier.

    Edith Cushing: I don't want to close my eyes. I want to keep them open.

  • Edith Cushing: [entering his mansion] Goodness. How many rooms are there?

    Thomas Sharpe: I don't know. Would you like to count them?
