Combining ghost films with modern technology is one of Su Zhaobin's characteristics, so we saw the first captured ghost. The so-called "collecting ghosts" in ancient books generally have some kind of magic tool, and the magic tool in "Witch Silk" is the mysterious anti-gravity tool. Although this is a bit opportunistic, it is undeniable that its modern I feel closer to the audience.
In fact, the consistent style of Asian ghost films is the continuation of ghost feelings, and resentment is a ghost. Therefore, ghosts are just like people. This oriental interpretation of ghosts is undoubtedly a boost to the horror index, which is more direct to the characters than blood gushing. Heart, including the audience's real feelings. Therefore, the film "Witch Silk" certainly inherits the source of horror on this philosophical level.
There are three groups of characters in the film, the ghost and his mother, Ye Qidong and his mother, and Hashimoto himself.
The film begins with "catching the world's first ghost". Ye Qidong's appearance was very tense, lip reading, calm shot, etc. all show that this character is not ordinary. As a policeman, Ye Qidong is obviously outstanding, but the next film immediately will this character's The heart has been portrayed, and there is no doubt that the sick mother is the biggest hidden feeling in his heart. As a result, a super master immediately descended into a real character. In a good film, the two sides of the characters are very important, so Ye Qidong's coldness is obvious, and the root of the coldness can also be immediately felt by the audience, it is the kind of sadness, a kind of sadness for the dying mother, This not only affects his personal character, but also affects his love.
Ye Qidong was not very willing to be called by Hashimoto to participate in the group. He had no interest in ghosts, but because of his mother, he became interested in people becoming ghosts and the behavior after ghosts, so he willingly joined in. Here, Ye Qidong is burdened with his own problems, which means that in the whole story, he must solve this problem, and he must gain something from this ghost-hunting action, that is, the change in the protagonist's understanding in the play.
As a result, the film began to turn more interesting ghost hunting plot. The first is Su Yuan's accidental death. It is not necessary to elaborate on the horror of ghosts, but more importantly, Hashimoto's ruthlessness is shown in this plot. Facing a colleague (a lover in another version), he acts like a The sentence made Su Yuan ashes, and there was no trace of nostalgia or sadness in sight. As a result, the character of Hashimoto's character is immediately presented to the audience, so why does he not have the real emotions of ordinary people? This point is a question and an urgent problem that needs to be solved, and the film has laid a foreshadowing on him.
The story of the ghost and its mother is tragic. This is a pair of mother and son abandoned by society. It is better to die than to live. When everyone thinks that the child is resentful to the mother who kills him, people realize that death is only a kind of relief, it is a relationship between mother and son. kind of agreement. In this case, death is given a new meaning and becomes an expression of the love of mother and son. Killing the son is to prevent the son from suffering in this world, but the son is very careful about the mother's good intentions. Understandable, so I waited for the reunion with my mother, even if it was the underworld. At this level, the story actually contradicts the ancient Chinese saying that resentment creates ghosts. The depth of love is also the source of ghosts. The son even uses the power of ghosts to promote the continuation of his mother's life. Because normal love cannot be satisfied in reality, the deformed love becomes a ghost.
In the process of tracking down the ghost, Ye Qidong constantly reflected on his relationship with his mother. That kind of dark psychology was the reason why the mother was worried about him, and the arrival of love became the driving force for the mother's love to quit. The same process of chasing ghosts gave Hashimoto a completely different feeling.
Hashimoto's ruthlessness shows that he is a world-weary person who has a distrustful attitude towards all the good things in the human world. This not only comes from his personal life experience, but also from the pressure of his work. In fact, his motivation to chase ghosts Not for scientific research, but for his personal liberation, and death is the best way for this liberation, Hashimoto wants to live in the form of a ghost and abandon the real world.
In this case, Hashimoto finally embarked on the road of death. The story of the ghost and his mother deeply moved Ye Qidong, but he survived because of this world of love, which changed his heavy and unhappy life. The two form a contrast, Hashimoto's world-weariness, and Ye Qidong's rediscovery of the world's love, and the reference for this contrast is the pair of ghost mother and son, the deep love between them. influenced their choices.
At the end of the film, Ye Qidong's mother left quietly, which, to a large extent, shows that the extreme of love has finally been relieved, so love is finally retained in a normal state of mind, not so terrible.
In many ghost films, resentment is the motive of the ghost, but in this film, the resentment only exists on the bridge itself, and the deep love becomes the motive of the ghost, so the ghost is kind, and the relief of love is the reason for the ghost The foundation of Enron, perhaps sometimes is the case, the degree of love is the true feelings, and excessive love will become more or less a ghost in the heart.
