1. When I watched the searching trailer, I thought that only the trailer was a novel editing method, and the screen perspective was an introduction to the real world. Unexpectedly, the movie is really all looking at the screen from the beginning to the end! Although there are no big names in the whole film, and they don't even appear on the scene, but only through the screen narration, the plot can be compact, the details before and after are solid, and the human body does not collapse. It can be said that the degree of completion is very high.
2. In the first half of the opening, I thought it was focusing on the discussion of Asian parents' educational concept and parent-child relationship, and I was even a little worried that I would have to conduct a deep reflection. I didn't expect it to be completely different from what I imagined. In addition to playing the piano well, which can be regarded as an Asian feature (stereotype aha), the whole film is a suspense film that has nothing to do with skin color, and it is suspense! Not bloody! Not scary! Too friendly for a timid audience like me. It turns out that bloody horror is completely unnecessary to give the brain, not the eyes, a pleasurable movie-watching experience.
3. The suspenseful story line is simple: within a few days after the disappearance of the daughter, the father and the police searched for her whereabouts, and extended from the students around him through scattered clues, link by link, and finally found the unexpected. Reasonable answer. The biggest highlight of this film is that all content is displayed on the screen, including the thoughts, emotions, and unspoken words experienced by people outside the screen, dialogue timelines, and breakthroughs in details are all through the typing dialog box on the screen, cursor movement, browsing , delete, chat history, enlarge pictures, etc. are displayed on the screen. Occasionally there are live-action shows on Facetime or TV news. Even if there is only a screen perspective, the emotions can be very real, such as the Buddha roaring while typing when excited. Remove the exclamation mark and replace it with a period. Delete all. Or switch the window back and forth to compare the two photos, coupled with the tense music to render the atmosphere, the two frames show a terrifying reversal off-screen.
4. In an interview with director Aneesh Chaganty, he mentioned that he had realized the idea of first-person shooting in this film in the short film " Seeds " shot for Google Glass four years ago. The director himself is of Indian descent, and this warm early short film is also from the perspective of an Indian family, while he chose to describe a Korean family in his first film work. In addition, the director is probably an internet-addicted teenager who understands memes. The movie starts with pokemon, Facebook plastic friendship, YouTube dramas, and Raddit conspiracy theories. What is Tumblr? Several popular social networking sites have been cued over and over, and all of them are simulated decently. By the way, I also hacked the teenager who pretended to be a big guy but didn't beat him secretly to go to Bieber's concert, which made me laugh silently in the cinema until I clapped my legs.
5. This week accidentally became my (Hollywood) Asian Film Week. I never thought that there would be such a week to watch two movies starring Asians in a row. After all, this week has never happened before. Crazy Rich Asians, a light-hearted romantic comedy that I watched on Tuesday, was also quite enjoyable. Its route is to find all kinds of familiar Asian faces, regardless of China, Japan, South Korea, Xinmatai, and tell an Asian story. However, searching through Korean actors, tells extremely ordinary, real girls and family stories. If the protagonist Kim's family is replaced by an ordinary white family or an ordinary black family, the story will not be affected at all - because Asian families are also a kind of ordinary families. It is hoped that in the future, Asian-American actors will not only be regarded as special actors, but will be able to get more ordinary and interesting scripts to play.
