The Crying Owl, I once saw its commercial by accident, but I mistakenly thought it belonged to a more logical one Horror movies, like someone murdered someone on purpose, so I never had the interest to watch it, I barely picked it up until today when the other films were all over, and realized I was almost missing out on a great film.
Yes, when the movie The slow pace shown at the beginning, and the bizarre behavior of the male lead, until the female lead said "Do you think things happened for a reason" soon after, I knew this film would shock me to a great extent. The
male lead is actually very Pure, I can totally understand his voyeuristic mentality of "just want to see a happy person", and the heroine, she is definitely the soul of the movie's theme, she is so lovely, beautiful and sensual, she Feeling strongly that things happen with a motive, which is almost closely linked to the fatalism I have always suspected, but in the middle of the film, due to the deliberate misdirection of the director, I once doubted whether the ending of the film was going to be vulgar (murder of lovers), At one point, I suspected that she was just a fatalist on the surface. Later, the development of things turned out to be the same as I hoped. The heroine finally committed suicide. When she was a child, she strongly felt that her brother's death was caused by an outsider. A stranger brought her that feeling, but she wasn't sure what it was, and then a series of complicated things happened between them, and finally came her to the house of the hero's wife, who turned to her( In fact, the movie is saying to the audience):
"Some people are destined to be a cancer, and in order to ensure that my life is not affected, I must cut a clean break with him."
(Actually, she just wanted to say that she loves the male protagonist so much that she loves him so much. To leave him, but the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart...)
This is the answer the heroine wants, she finally realizes what this stranger makes her feel, or conversely, she finally realizes what she has brought to the hero, since they met, the man The protagonist has been in trouble all the time, that is to say, she has become a cancer of others. She felt strongly that her destiny should do something, so she killed herself peacefully.
From the moment after the heroine's death, the hero was disconnected This cosmic resonance string avoided the various crises that occurred later, and the wife who told the truth of the universe was actually just casually speaking at the beginning. She still loved the male protagonist deeply. Her reluctance to give up eventually led to her death once "Accidental" under the knife. The movie ends with the horror hero about to pick up the knife on the ground, stopped by an owl's cry, which reminds me of the sentence the heroine was referring to at the beginning, Do you think things happened for a reason ?

Update 2010-04-19:
Sorry, the above remarks are purely after watching the movie The first impression is that the writing is too bad!
In fact, as a commercial activity, the film has limitations in its expression. It must lay out some suspenseful plots to let the audience into the play, but when the audience finally finds that the suspense is not profound, they will mistakenly think that the so-called suspense is the movie. The theme, this is the gap between the film and the novel, the novel can not only make a deeper suspense, but also can not lose the profound meaning.
The cry of an owl actually refers to the deep meaning of your behavior and group behavior, that is to say, everyone's language and behavior express only the external meaning, but in fact its real intention is often hidden deep enough to even see through. A good example is that you may have met someone who has been in love, and your attitude towards the other person (or her towards you) has changed. You don't even know that you don't love her anymore, but your language and Behaviour has portrayed this phenomenon for a long time, and it is not until one day you meditate in retrospect that you realize this terrible thought.
In fact, the owl outside the window has always known what you really think.
