The sister brought her husband home to sleep, and her friend was abandoned by the man, which made Carol, who was originally unsocial, more self-enclosed. Sexual troubles put her on the verge of mental collapse. She often looked out the window. The nuns who have fun are thoughtful. After her sister went on a trip, Carol, who was alone in an empty house, became more and more apprehensive. She found cracks in the wall one after another. She saw a man's shadow in the mirror and imagined a demon pushing the door to rape her.
The rape scene is very classic. Polanski turned Carol's crazy and painful shouts into silence, as if the rape happened in a dream, and the audience could only hear the ticking of the clock in reality.
After that, Carol's delusion of persecution became more serious, so that she picked up a metal candlestick and let her boyfriend brutally smashed it to death. This segment was also very wonderful. After the boyfriend broke into the door, the woman leading the dog happened to pass by. The film was shot with depth of field for the only time here. When the boyfriend closed the door, he instantly switched to the boyfriend's subjective camera, and then accompanied by the violent shaking of the camera, the boyfriend fell to the ground, blood slowly oozing out and flowing quietly. The scene of the corpse vomiting blood in the bathtub is also enough to make people eye-catching. Carol fell into a brief madness after killing her boyfriend. She pretended to be calmly humming a little song to knit a sweater. At this time, the demon in the fantasy reappeared and raped her.
Then Polanski used a zoom lens, and the picture gradually zoomed in, and an unclothed Carol was lying on the ground and gradually came into view.
After killing her boyfriend, Carol faced the landlord who was lustful and intent on committing crimes, and again pained the killer. She used her sister's boyfriend's razor to cut the landlord through a thousand swords, and staged a cheerful murder with the dynamic rhythm. Wu, she seemed to be mentally happy when she fell into a madness. After that, she inevitably asked the devil to rape herself for the third time.
The countless telephone ringing and door ringing in the film acted as a montage, and the picture switched from illusion to reality.
In terms of details, still life such as hare meat, potato chunks, and bonsai appeared in the film many times. She even stored a piece of rotten meat in her bag and carried it with her. The director seemed to intend to use the rotten hare meat, the moldy potato chunks, and the withering of bonsai plants. To metaphor the heroine's form is ashamed and ashen-hearted. Her residence was also dim and lifeless, as the landlord said, it was like a mental hospital, like a pigpen, and Carol was a mental patient living in it, a hopeless pig. The cracks in the wall and the softening of the wall symbolize the further disintegration of her soulless body, and the creepy scene Carol walks through the corridor full of arms can be called a classic horror connotation level picture. In addition, ironing clothes with an unplugged iron, writing on the glass with a sly smile on the corner of the mouth, pacing around the house like crazy, and close-ups of the little girl’s eyes on the photo. These graphic designs also fully show Poland. The evil spirit of Skye.
