A retrospective of ten years

1. I watched this film ten years ago. Unlike many "great gods" in the comments, after watching some genre films, and guessing the ending early, it seems that this film is boring. When I watched it back then, I hadn't been exposed to split personality films, and I watched a lot of ghost films, so the ending was quite unexpected.

2. This film is actually shot very neatly and pays more attention to details. This is also more difficult. Because many split personality films are not so "rigorous", there can be many personalities, but the skin should be the same. Many films are divided into several actors, for fear that people will guess the split personality early.

3. The success is also the details, and the failure is also the details. The director was obviously afraid that people would not understand it, or emphasized that he should respond to each other, and stayed on the scene for a long time on many details. Like an alarm clock.

4. Insufficient success is procrastination most of the time. The main reason for the procrastination is not being able to lead the audience into the ditch. The director is trying to target the conflict in the early stage to the neighbor couple, but it seems a little thin and not very successful. And this also affected the later rhythm suspense that was unveiled earlier, and it took a lot of time to shoot De Niro's nerves.

5. Compared with other types of films, this film does not seek to have any mistakes, but there is no fault. For example, Sixth Sense, Willis has the acting skills of "As long as I don't act in shootout films and other films, I will act the same way". Kojima is terrified, and his focus is reversed. It's easy to talk about ghosts. Deadly ID, exaggerating so many personalities, but also looking for different people to play, leaving no room for guessing.

6. In fact, De Niro and Fanning can get four stars together. The advantage is that the acting skills of the old and the young can stand up to the details of back scrutiny, and everyone who appears is useful. The disadvantage is that the routines are superficial. In fact, as long as you spend more effort on digging holes for the audience, and then reverse the reverse and then reverse it. For example, many of De Niro's abnormal situations are not close-up, and they are inadvertently shot. There are more lines to the neighbors. The dead child of the neighbor is called Charlie, and it is a cover-up that De Niro learned after investigation, which distracts the audience's reasoning path. Then the pain of losing a child, the psychology of the neighbors needs to be out of balance, and the audience will wonder if it is possible that they are playing tricks. Of course, it was later discovered that it was not a neighbor, but there was one more person. This person was a male junior. He always thought that De Niro was killing his wife, not committing suicide, so he secretly investigated and wanted to "revenge". Some viewers had a reversal in their hearts. this person. As a result, the police found out that there was a problem and came to ask, but De Niro killed him. Only then did the audience feel that it was De Niro who had the problem.

7. Finally, let’s talk about hard injuries. First of all, De Niro had insufficient motivation to hunt down Fanning. My father doesn't know Charlie, but Charlie knows his father. It doesn't make sense. The two personalities should know each other. Things are so big that you are afraid that the little girl will report her? After all, it is also the daughter of another personality of his own. Secondly, there is also a lack of reliable evidence for the ending of Ning's sister. And Fanning is more sensible. She has been trying to avoid unnecessary casualties, and she doesn't want anyone to get close to her and suffer bad luck. It can be modified as, after witnessing so many incidents, Fanning's extreme distrust and violent tendencies towards the world, and the ending is just one more destroyed doll in the corner. It can make people think of many possibilities, and even in connection with the previous scene, I feel that Fanning is also a personality distortion to help do something.

8. In any case, the cooperation between the old man and the little girl is always rare.
