As the 2019 horror film "Ma's Big Sister", it is eye-catching. The innovation and depth of the plot belong to the upper-level work, and the small-cost investment has yielded big results. First of all, it is obvious that it is racial discrimination. As a black woman in high school, Sister Ma was squeezed out, discriminated and manipulated everywhere, which accumulated into a lingering resentment in her heart, and finally turned into a deformed evil force to fight back and retaliate. The director divides and intersperses the memories of Ma's sister Ma in the movie so that the audience can see at a glance. The development of the plot is logical.
Sister Ma’s experience as a disadvantaged group is sympathetic, and what she did is understandable. After all, the resentment is too great and the hurt is too deep. Sister Ma likes to play with young people, dressing up her body carefully and trying her best to blend in, it shows that she is eager to be accepted and does not want to be excluded. She also needs to be loved, which was not respected when she was young. Even everything he does now is not taken seriously by others, as if she is forever excluded from the Three Realms, wandering on the edge.
It's hard to say who is on the edge. Sister Ma seemed out of place, on the edge, but she saw it really. The ugly faces of our so-called people in the center were clearly seen by Sister Ma, but we didn't know it at all. It was too late when we wanted to turn back to shore.
Overall, it is a horror movie that is very worth watching, but the ending is a bit crooked. The aunt's acting skills are great, and the supporting role cards are big enough, it is recommended to watch.
