In fact, by choosing the right perspective, you will understand the director's intentions and understand, and you will no longer be entangled in the causal logic of the story and the details of the clues.
The movie creates the most realistic horror experience from the main perspective (male lead).
The movie itself is an incomplete story, because it is only a complete perspective of the male protagonist, that is, relative to the overall story, the film gives only the part that the male protagonist can see, because the complete story can only be seen from the perspective of God; It is also because the director chose to show the audience only what the male protagonist's eyes saw, so it is destined not to let the audience see a movie that contains complete plot information and the original story.
We have always been accustomed to watching horror stories from the perspective of God. We have always wanted to see all the causes and consequences of the story, all the logical clues, and the clues before and after. However, this time the director asked the audience to experience the victims once. A terrifying journey through his perspective.
This is not a movie that allows the audience to watch suspenseful horror stories, but a movie that allows the audience to experience thrilling accidents. This means that the audience cannot see all the reasons for the story in the movie, and it is impossible to find all the clues. And confess. Because the director originally only gave the audience the perspective of the male protagonist, but only allowed the audience to see the part of the whole thing that the male protagonist can see. It is no longer possible for the audience to sit back and forth from the perspective of God as they did when watching feature films, watching the movie as a whole while complaining about the protagonist’s idiots and anxious about the protagonist’s mistakes. Instead, he can only follow the protagonist to experience, experiencing his powerlessness and struggle in a clueless situation, feeling his doubts and helplessness, seeing the violent anger of the suspected criminal, and the vacillation of not knowing who to believe. I feel anxious and have to accept the fate after the final hard work, and send out the last blessings for my daughter's powerlessness. Therefore, the audience is experiencing a person's mental journey in the face of a horror incident, rather than listening to a person telling a horror story.
As the protagonist of the story, he is not God. He does not know how the terrible accident happened, why it happened, and why it fell on his head; he does not know who is helping him, who is harming him, who is a good person, Who is the bad guy, what to do is right, who to believe, he can only judge right from wrong in struggle and doubt, making difficult decisions; he doesn’t know how to deal with and respond is right, and in which direction to work hard is Correct, the ending will be success or failure. When we watched the movie, we were just as confused and at a loss as the hero, because we couldn’t find clues or distinguish who was the savior and the devil in the process of watching the movie, so we were able to feel that the hero was at that time. The same awkward mental state can be the most authentically substituted for the male protagonist, and empathize with the taste of the horror that the person bears under the most realistic environment set by the plot. Of course, in the ending of the film, the hero's actions are futile, but in reality, as the majority of event authorities who have difficulty in fully controlling the situation, when things come to us, we seek a solution. Isn't it the case that most of them are in the final outcome?
As a pure impression, as long as the director’s intention is found, this film is a tense and thrilling commercial horror genre. It is not sophisticated but has a strong sense of substitution. It is not obscure but needs to face the situation directly. It will not feel slow in two and a half hours. Time is hard. As long as the director's intention is found, he will no longer be blamed for unclear logic and digging holes because of a pile of doubts that cannot be solved. So please don’t worry about how the hairpin appears next to the woman in white, because this is not the key. The real key is that when the audience sees the hairpin appearing next to the woman in white, they will be suspicious of the woman in white just like the protagonist and will follow the protagonist. The same difficult decision is whether to go home immediately or wait for the third cock. There are so many "slots" like this, so there is no need to list them one by one. . .
Although this is a good film that can easily be misunderstood as a bad film. However, in order to vindicate the status quo of "high scores but many complaints", we should not just pile up so-called religious and metaphysical reasons, or excuses. In my opinion, even those short film critics who speak out about their shortcomings are better than those who are desperately trying to artificially create and piece together the advantages, or put the words in the cloud, the human nature and the depth. This proves how unfathomable the director is, and how knowledgeable it takes to understand the film. The commentary is much more sincere and lovely.
At present, "The Cry" film reviews are at two extremes. Everyone hopes to find an afterthought that "you can understand what you say is something you can understand", but at present it is basically something that "you don't even see what ghosts say." Many high-ranking film critics have proved that they are discerning. The short and long reviews are not vague or circumstantial. What's more, even some oriental magic, surreal, deep and obscure, evil and evil have come up, and they have no brains. The biggest is only bigger, which is really admirable.
