The Ghost Story movie, I divided it into three sections. Section 1: Professor Philip's memories and self-introduction. (Roughly an introduction to the background of the story) Section 2: The psychologist appeared and led to three stories. The beginning of this is the process of laying the groundwork for the puzzle. Section 3: The Secret. The director very thief divided the answer into two layers, revealing one layer at a time.
Let's take a closer look below.
Let's watch the third quarter first. At the beginning of this quarter, I set it as Philip's second visit to Charles. Obviously, Philip was already a little broken at this time, but Charles will soon have a 'Drag show' again. live there. Charles takes off his disguise and becomes the dead Mike in the third story, and Mike takes Philip to another scene in a magical way. This leads to the reason for Philip's constant hallucinations. The appearance of the dead Callahan is a complete breakdown of Philip. At this time, the camera turned from Philip's dream to reality, and the final reveal was carried out.
The interpretation of the first and second sections is very simple. The director uses Philip's experience as the first point of view. Briefly describe Philips' family, work and life. Then use 'psychologist' Charles as a clue character to elicit the three stories in the second quarter. However, there are plenty of potential clues to look out for in these two sections, such as the plastic bag associated with the first level of the puzzle, the playful three children twice, the man in the hood; the mirror associated with the second level of mystery , dead bird.
After watching the movie, I can't help but sigh about the unsatisfactory performance of domestic horror movies. What a good example. From the policy point of view, there is no ghost, the protagonist is still the professor who revealed the secret of the 'psychic master', which reveals the core values of socialism; from the market point of view, it is enough that the shoddy pots and pans fairy can get millions of box office Prove the needs of the market. Finally, let’s look at the movie again. The three short stories arranged in detail are closely related to the main line of the movie. Many small details are paving the way for revealing the secret. Even the protagonist’s illness has been mentioned several times before, which eliminates the plot twist. abrupt feeling.
Of course, there are many loopholes in the movie, but I won't talk about it.
