Like "The Diary of World-Worthy Mommy/Tully", you originally thought that you walked into the movie theater from time to time when you watched a commercial movie with joy or prepared to accept a horror plot, but the ending is also very heart-felt. Sadness that can't be said in a word.
The translation of Ma into "Horror Aunt" is probably based on the thriller craze of the past few years, trying to capture many audiences who love this genre. It is also a film produced by "Escape from the Deadly Town". "Auntie Horror" is not as brilliant as "Escape from the Deadly Town", but it still draws a clear picture of the distance between man and evil.
The movies in recent years have shown signs of getting longer and longer. If you don’t play it for 120 minutes, it seems you can’t finish the story. If the plot is dull for too long, it feels lengthy, but if it’s not enough like the aunt, 100 minutes will seem awkward. Missing a corner, missing a piece in the west, can only use too bloody images to repeatedly stack up the degree of shock, but exploring it does not understand the so-called cruel emotions.
The story of "campus bullying" will never be finished. Even nowadays, it is constantly advocating that dealings with peers should not be discriminated against, and should not be prejudiced because of differences. However, we want to completely eliminate bullying, exclusion, and It is almost impossible for incidents of discrimination to occur. Just like "Escape from Death", these issues are still stuffed into the movie, but campus bullying is not as easy to spread as racial issues. It is not only the skin color that can be distinguished.
From "Sisters" to "The Key Minority", Octavia Spencer first played the key roles in the drama from the equal rights of blacks to the equal rights of women. In "Auntie Horror", the emotional transition and ups and downs of the aunt she plays are greater, but it is a pity that the script is too focused on her interaction with the children. The shame, loneliness, and helplessness that she and the children's parents once brought to her when she was young Appears weak, and how did the abnormal behavior between her and her daughter come into being? It's a pity that there is no explanation.
It takes 100 minutes to tell a story that has been accumulated over two decades, and it really has to be precise. After ten or twenty years, people who are no longer related and have no intersection with each other, how come they want revenge? And after more than ten or twenty years, how did the person who bullied others still hurt another person with hostility like a young man? There are no traces of the years, and the story finally decouples from "School Bullying" and returns to the horror killing plot.
At the end of the story, "Don't repeat mistakes" and "Come forward bravely" as the ending. But at that moment, the memory of youth in my heart still failed to leave the aunt's heart. So how did the lives she went through made her completely lose her trust in others? Let her use a terrifying method to execute her inner revenge?
The story of "school bullying" producing monsters will never disappear, and the loneliness of being isolated will repeatedly create the next crazy killing. There is no need to make a horror to kill. The last tactics are really incredible. Isn't a good head-on confrontation good? Why have to join those weird wounding techniques?
When I left the cinema, I still couldn't help feeling sad for the aunt. If there is a person in life who can give her a little sunshine, will there be no such suffering? And in what way can her pain be truly conveyed to the people around her? Or do they have to destroy themselves in this way?
