Using chills as the title is my feeling

From the beginning of the film, the director left a suspense, and the background voice repeatedly said to the child, do you dare to wait for some bewitching words? Immediately I felt very puzzled. Someone encouraged this. What other amazing facts could be under this behavior?

However, all this was replaced by the hoarse roar of the decent protagonist... After that, the parents appeared as calm as the water surface. Even if they reflected on their own faults, they felt a little perfunctory. I didn't think too much about it when I watched it.

After that, the two officially met and got to know each other until the scene of the baseball game. When the villain took the initiative to talk about Zheng Nan's ex-wife, he found it was not easy. Indifferent, resting in the sun like a machine, this is another foreshadowing left by the director.

The indifferent atmosphere of the anti-host family in the early stage of the film makes people feel a little uncomfortable and rigid. However, the playful and slapstick sound of the two children playing together reflects the child's innocent side. In connection with what happened later, I can't help but give the director a 100% credit. The child is a child after all. There is absolutely stark contrast.

When the main host's girlfriend died, he was thinking about when the recording would be discovered. Later, he learned that everything was under their control. The hostess happened to see that the anti-host was arranged. The death plan was well planned, and even the recording of the call in the middle was arranged. Which lamented the rigor and terror of this organization. The Lord surrendered to them, because the children were in their hands, I knew from the beginning why the Lord wanted to investigate them, because he did not want the children to be too close to an unknown person, but unfortunately these are theirs Routines, they just reuse their parents' desire for protection.

The ending is amazing, but I think the meaning contained in it is more amazing than the ending. Terrorism is always a nightmare for great powers. It's hidden underground, they're just like everyone else on the surface, they play a legitimate role in society, and they make terrifying plans underground. Just like these people in the film, they use justice to achieve their terrifying goals, and they do it flawlessly. What should we ordinary people do, who should we rely on, and when it comes to ourselves, are we as helpless as the protagonist, like a chess piece It was eaten as planned. So we're not talking about terrorism, we're talking about ourselves, our own security.

We live happily in the safest space

the bomb went off

many people killed

Only when we lean back against the hardest wall

that's just a painting

The most terrifying hindsight
