This April, just after watching US, there are pet cemeteries and crying women, I am still very happy.
As soon as I got off work today, I went to the cinema to watch the premiere of the Pet Cemetery by myself without a girl taking care of me.
There is a sign at the entrance of the cinema that says "Enter at your own risk". It seems that this film is also high hopes, hoping to scare a few people to death.
Just after watching the movie, I still think it looks pretty good.
The good-looking places are mainly from Little Lolita. The following is spoiler: After Little Lolita died in an accident, she was buried in the magic cemetery by her father. The magic cemetery can bring back the dead, so she was brought back. But the little Lolita who was brought back was cut and blackened, so she killed the old man next door to the pig teammate, killed her mother, and finally buried her mother to blacken her and then killed her father.
Although the front was very long, the fifteen minutes after Loli came back from blackening, it was relatively compact. Loli all kinds of anti-killing relatives, the role is more ferocious, it can be regarded as another darker loli little girl image after "Orphan Grudge" . The mother had a shadow over the death of her disabled sister. There was a passage where she became an older sister, and the older sister came out from the transport well where the meal was delivered to scare her with a twisted posture of Kayako possessing her body. It was a pretty good scene.
Generally speaking, the story is very simple. When the daughter died, her father sent her back to the cemetery. She came back and killed her mother and buried her again. Then she killed her father together. Finally, the family came back neatly, and then went to find them left in Yangshi. The youngest son. It's a story of one black to the end.
The author is quite happy to watch it later. After all, I have watched too many boring ghost exorcism stories named by Wen Ziren before. Although this story is also a cliché the soul of the dead, it is at least very straightforward. It is a popcorn ghost worth watching. Film it.
Of course, the author has not read the original work before. In fact, although everyone praises Stephen King's oral sex, for example, the pet cemetery is known as one of his most cruel and horrible stories. The author also bought back his various Chinese and English short stories time and time again.
However, I almost never finished reading. Because I can't read English, and it's verbose. In Chinese, the translation tone is so unbearable and verbose. In general, Stephen King writes various stories in a long-winded tone. His long-windedness is not the kind of detailed description, but a first-perspective tone to say some chaotic words. For example, the adaptation of the dead body in the story of Four Seasons, accompanied me, is particularly beautiful and moving, but the original work is still a little chattering. So the author never looked into his works and cried.
However, after reading this new version of Pet Cemetery, the author still read the original one. I don’t say much about the pet’s soul-recovering part in the front. It must be much richer than the movie, but at the back, the original book actually describes a very crazy, almost crazy but understandable father, because after he buried his son, the son returned. After killing his wife, he tried to resurrect his dead wife. This kind of crazy obsession, and the words "dear" coming back from the dead wife at the end, are quite moving.
The author did not watch the previous old version of the movie, it seems to be in line with this setting of the original. In the new version, such a horizontal comparison may be because many people have seen it, and the emphasis on describing the father’s madness is no longer new. Therefore, in addition to portraying the darkening of loli killing and focusing on depicting this image, it does not further describe the father’s obsession. , Did not give him a chance to make a second mistake. After the mother's death, the blackened daughter was buried, and the father was killed. From this point of view, in this edition, the description of human emotions and obsessions is less, and there is less emotional impact. It is more straightforward in killing, but it is also much simpler.
Therefore, this remake has become a simpler plot and a more straightforward killing movie about Return of the Dead. Maybe this is in line with the tonality of modern European and American commercial horror movies, simple, kill one, kill one, kill all, simply, and completely finished.
However, in such a comparison, the author has a more favorable impression of Stephen King again. After all, when he insisted on writing those long-winded but detailed articles, he took the trouble to create some very moving images, and many of them were The human deformation and deteriorating emotions he described are all set off by him with a good plot. Reading it a few times can still make people feel quite touching. The author is going to go back to the dark night where there is no star on the side of the pillow.
(In contrast, the author is not very optimistic about crying women. Apart from lurking in the first two parts and Silence, Wen Du wooed and supervised a bunch of boring stuff.)
