The selling point of the film is "Prison in the Secret Room", the focus of the film is the rivalry of the hero and heroine (including the inner drama), and the focus of the film is to reveal the dark side of human nature (not as simple as the dark side).
Enter the thriller journey. 3 Analyze the characters.
The first pair, the hero and heroine - Seth and Holly (Seth's inner imprisonment and Holly's body imprisonment).
How to explain "inner captivity"? The love of the male protagonist for the female protagonist is real, and then a kind of "exclusivity" born of love, of course, it is understandable under normal circumstances, if it is irrational, it will have a "perverted" effect, just like Seth's behavior- — "Capturing Holly". From that moment on, Seth's heart has been captured by Holly, from talking to heart to obeying, and finally becoming a "bird in a cage" (testing love by himself), and the "inner captivity" deepens step by step.
What is "Body Imprisonment"? Holly is imprisoned in a cage, it is only a physical manifestation, but what is her heart like? At the beginning of the story, the audience is given a real illusion - a charming smile. The male protagonist is a "appearance association". He thought it was love at first sight, but who would have gone astray. Although the female protagonist was imprisoned in the basement, the female protagonist controlled his body and mind.
The second pair, the heroine and ex-boyfriend - Holly and Eric.
Whether Holly is in love with Eric is unknown, at least there is not much introduction and explanation in the film, but at the end, the two walk together again. Does Eric love Holly? Of course "no". As a scumbag, the meaning of his existence is to highlight the tragic color of the male protagonist-he wanted to save the female protagonist, but inexplicably became the "placebo" of the female protagonist , and was imprisoned.
The third pair, "Born to be Perverted" and "Crazy for Love".
Is the heroine perverted? At a glance, it is pure and petite on the outside, and murderous on the inside. The last few minutes of the movie absolutely subvert every audience's point of view. The female protagonist continues to be with the scumbag, and the male protagonist becomes a prisoner.
Is the male lead perverted? I can only say "maybe", this kind of love has surpassed the rational thinking of normal people, from falling in love at first sight to being imprisoned in a cage, from trying love with oneself to being trapped in love, there is no rationality, only perversion.
Crazy for love——The male protagonist is crazy in love for the female protagonist, and the female protagonist just regards him as a tool. The result of this unequal "love" is not like the ending of many movies—— After realizing it, he turned to the shore, but went all the way to the dark, and finally "crazy" to crazy, it's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.
An unexpected twist at the end of the film. Many audiences were stunned. In the end, the bloodthirsty boss turned out to be a "caged girl", and the love-crazy madman - the male protagonist in the play, eventually became a "trapped beast", which is really a black movie.
Throughout the whole article, the acting skills of the two protagonists (Dominic Monaghan and Ksenia Solo) are of great importance. From speech, behavior, facial expressions, and inner activities, they have done their best to successfully perform the two psychopaths in the play. Even so, the structure of the story is unsatisfactory, especially the loose narrative that makes the meaning and uniqueness of the work seem too abrupt. There is a little less "unexpected and reasonable", and a few more "unintelligible".
Director★★★☆☆(I think very well, the operation is a little weak, especially the rhythm of the plot and the grasp of sorting, which is slightly insufficient)
Actor★★★★★(Too sturdy, too good at acting)
Plot★★★☆ ☆ (divided into three parts, the first 45 minutes, thrilling and compact, the back is too loose, and the final reversal is fixed)
Visual effects ★★★☆☆ (Dark series, except for the appearance of dividing the corpse and the final male protagonist, other tastes are light)
Sound effects ★★★☆☆ (regular)
Recommended crowd: lovers (required)
