From the moment the editor broke into the church and saw that Sartre was finishing his new book, and there was a dialogue from this, I was full of the title sentence, or in other words, in the whole second half of watching the movie, I had already decided This is the theme of this film. I don’t want to say with certainty that Sartre was written by creatures in other worlds. In my opinion, his works are more like creating a channel connecting two worlds. Said that he has also created many lively characters in the real world. From this perspective, he can still be called the creator. It's a pity that when the story developed later, everything was beyond his control, and he himself was completely lost in the abyss.
Counting down all the grams of movies I have watched in the past two years, from monster films such as "Weird Shape" and "Extreme Chill" to "Black Hole Surface" and "Star Color" with sci-fi colors, "Shiver" "Black Hole" is probably the only masterpiece that makes me shudder besides the jump scare! I finally understood why I was not touched after reading related themes before. The reason is probably that I lacked a sense of substitution. Whether it was the book "The Myth of Cthulhu" or the film and television works of related themes, My brain has a very clear perception: I am just a bystander . The isolated scientific research station, the spaceship in the depths of the starry sky, and the solitary country house are all too far away from me. I probably never have the opportunity to touch these places in my life, and it is absolutely impossible for me to experience the experience described in the film.
But "Shivering Black Hole" is different. Given that the film was released in 1994, 1994 and 1996 are only two years apart, it can be considered that it belongs to the same era style as my favorite American drama, so I have been brought back to the familiar atmosphere from the opening BGM. , Not to mention the conversation between the hero and the editor when he first entered the town in the hotel room, I even subtly subtly replaced my cp.
Looking back and thinking about it, the more prominent elements of this film: multiple dreams, the writer’s world comes true, the belief of people (readers) endows gods (monsters) with life, the cycle of life experience (at the end of the film, Trent sits) In the movie theater, I watched myself on the big screen and pursued Sartre all the way). These are the settings I prefer in literary works, and I often choose even when I create myself. Based on this, the tremor that this movie brought me to a higher level.
Maybe it’s because the scenes of this film are quite life-like, and several places scared me, such as the multiple dreams of Trent sitting on the sofa while reading, the changing oil painting in the hotel, and the editor breaking into the church. The monster behind the post sater. After Trent left the town, he met a boy who sold newspapers and showed him the way. Before the camera cut away, I was worried that the back of the little boy riding away would disappear into the air like passing through some kind of barrier. Okay. When he was supposed to be just an unrelated passerby, Trent also got on the shuttle bus. But the profound influence of this film's sense of confusion brought to me is evident.
After Trent woke up, there was a scene in which he had a conversation with Sartre through the window. I really liked the change of light and shadow in that period! It can even be called the most beautiful lens in my mind.
It is difficult to say whether Trent's experience after leaving the hospital is reality or a delusion in his mind, or that the whole experience is a lie made up by the brain to deceive him, but if I choose, I will probably give up all struggles and lie down quickly... …
