fascinated, death without soul

Candice 2022-04-20 09:01:07

I have to admit that for a long time in the last century, many screenplays in Hollywood were very, very good. The effect of the shooting is also very dazzling, which is why the classics of that era are still unconventional, and they also give people a sense of timelessness. At the beginning of the movie, it was an old rumor-like story. It can be said that it not only deceived the male protagonist, but also deceived the audience (me). Think "Ecstasy" is an ancient spell? Reincarnation? Soul possession? One type; after seeing the latter point, I thought that the male protagonist was "fascinated", and looking at his obsession with the heroine's love, it was easy to interpret it as a kind of obsession with beauty. Until the scene of writing the letter explained the original end of the matter, it was like "Deception in Deception" (probably not this movie), but the scam using fake death also suffered unexpectedly. Fascinated by the soul, it can be a state of self-splitting and twisting that is different from the body but trapped in the body, and then the love that I want to retain is also absent when the fog dissipates. Still a sacrifice. Gradually, it can be seen that the first scene selected by the director is a solid footnote to the "fear of heights", and it is this subtle point that leads to a great drama!
