A faint sound like a ticking

The prolonged rhythm and nutrient-free content make Tick House as a children’s magic movie, that is, it is impossible for children to experience much joy and surprise in the movie. On the contrary, the dark and horrible pictures are actually not suitable for children. of. As for adults, the movie is extremely low and young, it is hard to see the plot, and it is even more difficult for people to have much interest in such a movie.

The story of "Tick House" is actually similar to "Harry Potter". It is also a magical beginner who leads the audience into a magical world, but the difference is that the home field of this movie is not magic. The academy is a seemingly mysterious and gloomy "Tick House", in which "Tick House" should undoubtedly be considered qualified for film production alone, whether it is a restoration of the past era or a darkened creative style. In fact, we can see the subtlety, but it is a pity that this kind of production has been defeated by the physics of the plot and the weakness of the characters.

In the plot, the problem with the movie is actually very obvious, that is, its own positioning is unclear. From the basic story of "Tick House", he is unlikely to be filmed as a family-friendly movie for all ages. However, what the film does is to use a dark and terrifying atmosphere to draw the attention of adults while thinking about it. Get children’s approval with easy-to-understand plots. This kind of contradiction is almost impossible to achieve both unless you have a master-level movie schedule and structure. It is obvious that Eli, who has gained a reputation as "Human Skin Inn" Rose, although he has certain accomplishments in creating horror, he has more than enough energy to resolve such a contradiction.

From the perspective of the characters, although the movie has Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, these two very acting Hollywood stars are starring, but for a children's drama, their performance space is actually not large, it is just smooth. With a simple story and young lines, he completed his role. As for the other little master of the movie, Louise, from the casting to his characterization in the movie, in fact, he can't win the audience's sense of recognition. What I remember about this character is only his exaggerated acting skills.

The film finally satirizes the adult world, but also has an anti-war core, but whether it is anti-war or irony, these profound backgrounds are poorly presented through the film, and what they emit is just like a tick. Faint voice.

There are many stories about children entering the old magic house. The quality of this film makes people mistakenly think that it is a network produced by Netflix. Let the children watch it in their own living room. Going to the movie theater is a waste of time. With this time, you You can watch the Netflix American drama "The Unfortunate Adventures of Raymond Snitch" at home. After all, Eli Ross who made horror films is not the Gothic director Tim Burton. This film shows that if there is a director with a strong aesthetic style, even if the film is bad, at least the director’s personal style can be watched. If you change it to A director with three nos, that is, only the young and boring are left.
