Let’s talk about the movie "Break" today.
The title of the film Fractured (2019), alias disconnected (Taiwan) / Zigzag (Hong Kong).
This film is a thriller film with few scenes and characters. It mainly depends on the outstanding performance of the actors and the exquisite plot setting to win.
After watching the blockbuster with the explosion of special effects of God and Buddha, the audience can change their tastes and watch this very thoughtful and low-cost film. It's like eating a vegetarian meal after you are used to eating the Man-Han banquet, you can change the taste and clear the stomach.
The actor's name is Ray Monroe, and he drove his wife and daughter home from his father-in-law's mother-in-law's home.
When passing a highway rest stop on the road, his daughter Perry had an accident. Ray Monroe was distraught and rushed to send her daughter to the nearest hospital for treatment.
After entering the hospital, Ray Monroe gradually realized something was wrong. It seemed that the doctors and nurses in the hospital were all engaged in some ulterior motives. In desperation, Ray Monroe made a fuss in the hospital, rescued his wife and daughter from a group of unkind medical workers, and rushed home.
The suspenseful atmosphere in the film "Broken" is quite adequate. The audience followed Ray Monroe's steps and made various efforts to save his wife and daughter. What was originally a very simple accident on the journey, the ups and downs being interpreted, makes people feel like they are deeply involved in a huge conspiracy.
As the film develops, audiences can learn about Ray Monroe's mental journey.
He was really hard along the way, and the accident during the journey became the last straw that crushed him. Originally, Ray Monroe's life was already in danger, on the verge of collapse at any time, but misfortune did not come singly, and his daughter had an accident at this juncture. Ray Monroe fell into deep despair as a result.
The first marriage of Ray Monroe ended in tragedy. He was drunk and caused a car accident. His wife and baby in the fetus were killed on the spot. Since then, Ray Monroe has fallen into a long period of depression.
Then Ray Monroe and his second wife Joanne began a second marriage. The two have been married for six years, but because Ray Monroe has not been able to cheer up, their love life has reached a bottleneck and is in jeopardy.
Joanne has always hoped that Ray Monroe can cheer up, take on the responsibilities as a husband and father, and live like a man.
After the accident between his wife and daughter, Ray Monroe felt that he had to stand up bravely and shoulder his due responsibilities. For this reason, he did not hesitate to make trouble in the hospital, but seeing his wife and daughter's recognition of him, he felt that everything was worth the effort.
The male protagonist Ray Monroe is played by Sam Worthington. Sam Worthington did not have any good and popular works after "Avatar" and "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge". This time, the performance is still a work that relies on creativity for a small cost.
Seeing the heroine Lily Rabe, I think of her "American Horror Story". A face full of classical charm is too iconic. This time she just wants to have a husband she can rely on. The request is not excessive, but the way of dealing with the problem may not take into account the feelings of the other party.
[The following may be spoiled]
If Zhihu has such a question: "What kind of experience would it be to suffer from severe post-traumatic stress disorder?" Then this "Break" should answer this question very relevantly.
Post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD stands for Post-traumatic stress disorder. After a patient experiences or sees a traumatic event, it produces a series of long-term stress responses that affect normal life.
And PTSD patients will show four typical symptoms.
One is to repeatedly experience the traumatic event in a flashback style; the second is to avoid the stimuli related to the traumatic event, and the feelings become numb; the third is to change the mood and cognition; the fourth is to increase alertness.
Ray Monroe began to unconsciously protect himself after post-traumatic stress disorder, completely interpreting his role according to these four typical symptoms.
When a violent change happened suddenly, Ray Monroe was unwilling to face the same tragedy again, so he created another "fact" in his brain. In the illusion he created, he became a responsible and loving husband and father. He shouldered the burden of the family and helped his wives and daughters to tide over them in time when they faced major difficulties.
The film also flashed back to the scene of the tragedy many times, stimulating Ray Monroe time and time again, forcing him to choose to escape reality. Under the severe damage, Ray Monroe regarded the hospital as a black-hearted shop, his vigilance inexplicably increased, the normal world became distorted, and Ray Monroe fell into it and couldn't help himself.
A good idea is half the battle. The film uses a lot of space to create a weird scene full of contradictions, with the final ending to a successful ending, with a strong horror atmosphere and superb performance by the actors. It is a masterpiece.
Creativity wins anti-routines.
One person, one vehicle, one hospital.
