As a horror movie, it's not scary
As a suspense movie, there is no suspense
Because I saw that many people think this is a good film, so I ask my own questions, and I also hope that friends who agree with this film will discuss it.
1. In a traffic accident, the female protagonist seems to maintain the male protagonist's black identity, but in fact hides the small details to prevent the police from recording the male protagonist's ID.
But the female protagonist actually did not interfere with the male protagonist's contact with friends (police) throughout the whole process.
2. Hypnosis, clinking glasses hypnosis is convincing.
But the small cotton actually blocked the ear and it was broken. After the male protagonist knocked down his son, he actually lost the cotton? Does anyone in rpg games break down important items in their backpacks after killing mobs? When he met the final boss later, he also knew very well that he wanted to break the cup as soon as possible.
3. Brain replacement surgery, the specific operation mode is not clear, since the craniotomy has been performed, it must be to replace the brains of both parties.
But after the replacement, the new brain still retains the original host consciousness (there may be a reasonable explanation for this, for example, it is not all replaced, but the part that controls body functions and self-awareness can be accurately transplanted, but the original host's consciousness part must be retained) This is only doubtful.
But yeah, if I change into someone else's body, I won't stay in a gated community and be an old man with a young body. I will definitely try my best to become this young man and go into his old life, at least like a young man Living like that, there is no such thought.
4. Photographing the soul, the old-fashioned way I like very much
But it seems that there may be more than one way to awaken the consciousness of the original host? The maid also seemed to regain a bit of consciousness in the part where her acting skills exploded?
I think the existence of two unlocking methods may be a bit redundant in terms of completeness and credibility of the settings, which will make people wonder if there are more unlocking methods.
The above are some detailed questions, and then some more subjective evaluations of the plot.
I believe most people, upon hearing about hypnosis, or after the first hypnosis, combined with the anomalous situation of black servants and servants, quickly realize the following:
①The male protagonist was hypnotized instead of simply having a dream→
②The male protagonist was deliberately lured here →
③The bad ending of the male protagonist is a strange existence like being a servant
When the story has basically not started yet, realizing the above three points, what horror and suspense can there be in the follow-up? take a look
To be honest, I have never felt the horror again. I will feel the strangeness, and the people in the community will be puzzled by their strange behavior. But this is the part of suspense, will you feel the horror to scream or mute, no.
How to deal with the suspenseful part, the biggest suspense is what happened to the black people? Oh, it turns out that after being hypnotized, the brain changed. I personally find such an explanation ridiculous.
Let me give two examples,
First example, what's wrong with black people acting weird? It's been brainwashed.
The meaning of hypnosis in the film is too low. It can be explained in one sentence, that is, to prevent the host from resisting damage to the original body (resulting in impaired function and unusable after brain replacement) and consciousness (may lead to unsuccessful surgery or brain replacement. easy to use). Obviously I won't buy it. If the meaning of hypnosis is so confusing to the audience, it can be written as a stun with a stick in the setting and it will not affect the operation and postoperative behavior.
Second example, what's wrong with black people acting weird? All black people in this world are computer programs designed to serve white people.
Why take this example? Because looking back on the whole film, what is it that is so scary to think about? It's your body that is occupied by other people's thoughts. How cliché is this setting? Same as my example. No matter how many small details you have laid out in front of you to make people go back and confirm this setting, you can't avoid the fact that this setting itself is a cliché. The previous foreshadowing, really, can only be said to be a qualified screenwriter skill, it cannot affect the plot itself. Seriously, what can you think of after watching the whole film?
Where does the author really write well? It's about affirmative action, the ignorance of three black police officers, the kidnapping of the wealthy, and other small details, which are very ironic. I also enjoyed Peel's satirical skit, but I wouldn't give high marks for this one.
This film was highly recommended by my friends to watch it, and I was a little disappointed after watching it, so I felt it. I recommend his other film, "Rosemary's Baby," and I recommend it to everyone. It can be compared to how Polanski keeps the audience in suspense even after they understand the conspiracy, makes the audience empathize with the heroine, and maintains anxiety and anger at all times.
