"A Quiet Place" may be arguably the most memorable opening of a 2018 movie, with no one in sight, the slightest gust of wind, and a few people walking past the store, cautiously, not talking to each other. In a few minutes of the scene, the principle of filmmaking "translation without lines" is brought into full play, and the relationship between the family and the operation of the doomsday catastrophe are laid out, and the disobedient little boy will use toys. After installing the battery, the sound of the sound that caused the monster to attack the plot impact is completely explained... This is a thriller movie that focuses on the core, creates an atmosphere, and has excellent acting skills. Of course, thriller movies like this are inevitably formulaic, but the film's precise control of the atmosphere and rhythm is not only complete but not sloppy, so that the audience is very involved in the play, and has no time to think about it or scrutinize the plot direction, just focus on enjoying the story. Every moment of the film is a subject of extreme states that must suppress survival instincts in order to survive. This never-ending depression and tension makes the end of civilization's decay even more unbearable. This film is written, directed and starred by John Krasinski. The first work can create such a tense and profound atmosphere and story as a comedy actor, which is quite amazing! Another successful commentary was made for "acting and directing", and the heroine also asked his wife Emily Blunt to perform together. The two people with outstanding acting skills supported the audience, and the effect was excellent, which also made the story of a family of five more interesting. Convincing. This film is worth recommending to every movie fan who loves sci-fi, thriller or doomsday themes....
This is an extremely quiet horror film. It describes that the earth will encounter a monster crisis in the future. The mysterious monsters cannot be seen, but they have keen hearing. As long as you make a sound, you have to face the fangs and claws of the monsters. In order to survive in this monster world, Krasinski and Emily Brown, the couple played in the play, must strictly abide by the law of silence with their three children, but lost a child in an accident... . A year later, the surviving family is about to welcome a new life, but Joy will soon face the challenges of a harsh world….
An original horror film is a very bold challenge for a novice director, unless he is very confident in his experience in writing and directing, or in the story that drives him to the sea to make a film. The John Krasinski, who welcomed his second child with Emily Brown, strengthened his rewrite of the script, originally written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. It brings A Quiet Place closer to their personal experience as a couple, because of the emotions that parents can sacrifice everything to protect their children. Emily Brown has become one of Hollywood's top-paid actresses in recent years. The British actress has applied for naturalization as an American citizen, partly because of tax savings, but in order to support her husband in directing the film, she lowered her salary. The show's remuneration allowed the film's budget to cost only $17 million to complete a low-budget independent film.
"A Quiet Place" is scary for most of the time, but it is also very quiet. It is different from other horror films that use special effects, sound effects and other frightening and frightening elements. This film chooses the most difficult path, that is, through the audience's understanding of The love of the characters makes them worry about the family. In particular, "A Quiet Place" uses features that are different from other excellent horror films. At the same time, the thrilling episodes that make you bite your gums are accompanied by emotional relaxation rather than the next shock. From frightening, soothing, frightening, and relaxing all the way, it seems more like a well-designed roller coaster. This is not because the director is soft-hearted, but deliberately makes these episodes soothing, leaving space for the audience to put care and emotion on the members of this small family. Through the gritty father, the exhausted mother, the deaf and self-blaming older sister, and the innocent younger brother, I empathize with these survivors. The kind of elaborate roller coaster rides that elevate emotions and force viewers to face the meaning of the death of a loved one. Death is not just parting, sometimes it is a firm belief, because of the reluctance to part with the family, and more willing to sacrifice for the family. . .
In the film, the plot of an old man who two father and son met in the woods fully demonstrates the contradictions of existence in this era. According to the plot, the two old couples, like the protagonists, lived quietly and low-key for more than a year, but in an accident, the old woman was attacked and died. The old man decided to shout loudly and call the god of death to come... The plot itself is simple, but there is a lot of room for imagination. Of course, the focus of such films is often not where and why the monsters come from? ! It is the resilience of how people face in this state, and the increasing conflict or close emotions. And take advantage of the personality difference between the eldest daughter and the second son to highlight the setting of sensory support. The eldest daughter is smart and calm, and part of it may be due to her shortcomings, because she will not misjudge the situation and flee in a panic, but at the same time, it is very likely that she is in danger without knowing it; on the contrary, the second son is in danger because of his health. Factors, his character is inherently more withdrawn and passive, a little movement is enough to make him run away, forgetting to judge the situation, trying to stay away from danger but may also fall into another crisis.
"If we can't protect our children, what kind of parents are we?" This is an emotional horror film. Silence and voice in the film are the two extremes that the film constantly pulls. When the seriously injured father stood up and faced the monster that was completely incapable of dealing with, he put down the useless axe in his hand, and slowly said to the eldest daughter who was trapped in the car, "I love you, I have always loved you. You." sign language, and then shouted like an old man in the woods, but he didn't have no love, but to make the loveable person so. As for the final open ending, the film came to an abrupt end after the mother and daughter saw the other two monsters rushing towards, giving the audience more room for imagination, but I believe that the director’s expression when they looked at each other was already there. Give enough answers, there is a kind of confidence and hope to face the problem. As far as the setting is concerned, the film is meticulous, and there are no inconsistent settings conflicts. Use the high-frequency noise of electronic instruments to restrain hearing monsters. It's just that the electronic ear, which has never been repaired, unexpectedly becomes a weapon that can harm monsters, which is an unexpected development of some black humor. In addition, because the couple lost a child not long after the apocalypse occurred, the father, mother, and sister all felt guilty, so it is understandable that the couple decided to keep the child. After all, survival and reproduction are actually human nature, and they are also the focus of this type of film... The film not only fights against monsters, but the family is also a very important part. In addition to the care and responsibility of parents for their children, it is very touching. Watching them keep making noises to help each other out of trouble, the emotional connection between each person is even more evident. , "Because the surrounding environment is so dangerous, the family's love is more precious." After seeing it, we are no longer concerned about whether they will be scared, but whether their family can survive. "Infernal Road" mostly depicts the dark side of human nature, and "A Quiet Place" is the most precious and precious thing for the positive radiance emanating from family emotions!
"The purpose of fear is not to limit you, but to let you know how to be stronger." Through the plot, we learned that the reason why alien creatures want to attack things that make sounds is because they are afraid of "sounds". Using "alien creatures" as a metaphor for the narrow-minded people in today's society, as well as terrorist extremists around the world, because they cannot accept other people's opinions, they subjectively believe that they are right, and even attack those who tell the truth, just like outsiders Like star creatures, they use all means to eliminate any sound on this earth that they find harsh. There is a scene in the film when the father brings his son to the waterfall and tells his son: "It is not safe to make a sound, but if there is a louder sound next to it. You will be safe.” This sentence can be extended to satirize this slowly deteriorating world. When the world cannot tolerate different voices, expressing yourself honestly will likely make yourself a target of attack, so In an era when everyone is in danger, most people choose to keep silent…. So if you are attacked for sticking to your own principles and saying something, maybe you are telling the truth that others don't want to hear, and hitting the other party's pain point... In the film, the family is willing to keep silent in sign language in order to survive, but when necessary, they speak out for each other's love, such as when the mother is giving birth, the father is trying to attract monsters, or the son sees his father being attacked... These are all reminders for fear And silence us, for the sake of what we love, we must be able to uphold the truth and face power bravely!
