There is a little something but not enjoyable

This is probably the movie with the least lines I've ever seen. Silent people are terrifying, and long silent films are so deafeningly meditative, yet so boring. It's so boring to watch a bunch of characters who don't talk much tell a particularly simple story with their subtle blank faces. Impressively, the film's aptly matched soundtrack renders tense and suspenseful moments. As soon as I see this kind of "silent film", I hope that the protagonist will not be insane at the end. Fortunately, at least the heroine is normal, and other people are actually normal, but ordinary people who happened to have evil thoughts in their hearts died by chance. I didn't expect the female lead to be Frances McDormand. She is Joel Coen's wife. At first glance, she looks very similar. When you look at it again, it really is her when she was young. The sign is bulging lips. Her acting skills are still the same. It's good, but it's hard to have a chance for a female lead.

The mirror transitions across time and space, in which the transition of the finger press reminds me of the fusion of the eye-shuikou superimposition in Psycho, which is a dialectical dividing line that separates life and death, the dead and the murderers. Everyone is an island, fearful and eager to be close to each other; men and men are bound to fight each other, and men and women can't understand each other - Marty's experience that "Abby will lie innocently" informs Ray and The communication between Abby tends to be ineffective, no matter how serious the latter question, the former is regarded as a woman's mask and turns a blind eye. "Blood Maze" is also a "Quarantine Trial" of human nature.

    very attractive opening and climate. just a little bored near the end. It contains elements that the Coen brothers used to use later: buying a murderer, accidentally approaching a car while handling the body on the road, escaping from the bathroom, peeping in the crevice, the last shot of the unintelligible... …
