Rich in connotation, many foreshadowings, and magical inversion. Excluding the horror points of traditional ghost films [sound, darkness, mystery and mystery], the starting point of this horror film is very new, and the story is explained from a different angle, and the story immediately takes on a new look. one,

Advantages: ①Reverse the theme, from the perspective of ghosts, bring the audience to see a whole new world, and also let the audience see the relationship between private living people → People are scary ghosts, ghosts are scary. →→ is for innovation. ②The emotional line is good, mainly about maternal love and war. The mother treats the children very well, but in the end, the mother kills the children [this is a surprising reversal]. The children are so innocent that even if their mother kills them, they think their mother just went crazy once. The care of the servants for the mother and son is also heartwarming. ③Reversal: First, I thought that the protagonist was a human, and the house was haunted → The servant slapped and slammed it for a clear hint; the daughter was possessed by a psychic old woman, and the boundary between human and ghost began to shake → I found the death photos of the three servants; the tombstones of the three servants, Make sure the servant is private → Then the protagonist sees the psychic old woman and the living person, completely reversed [The three protagonists are ghosts! ! ! ] Second, the doubts (only mine): ① Maybe the house is really divided into yin and yang, so the new tenants move in, and the heroine will not be able to see their renovations to the home (such as pots, pans, pans and dishes). It can be said that the heroine can't see each other's things,

A. In many cases, it feels like the house is divided into two worlds, yin and yang, so they will not disturb each other when they use their utensils. Neither eat nor sleep. But on the night the children went to bed, Vitra opened the curtains, and the children's curtains were also pulled at this time.

B, the piano room. The hostess and the new resident playing the piano in the piano room opened and closed the door there, and at this time the things they used met again.

C, Curtains: If the two worlds are separated, why would the new occupants remove the curtains, and the curtains on the heroine's side are gone. If the two worlds are not separated, and the things they use are interoperable, then there will be endless troubles, but this is not the case in the movie. Even the weather, the sun was shining brightly on the new resident's side, and the mist was shrouded in the hostess' side.

To sum up the above doubts: there must be boundaries between the two worlds, but when to separate and when to connect, I am still a little confused. (On my own behalf)

three,

①Sometimes a different angle is a new world.

②The performance does not have to be so obscure, it can be a little clear (only on behalf of yourself)

③ The plot in the early stage was too bland. Of course, I can understand it as accumulation, but if it wasn’t for the high score of the movie, maybe I would have given up. After all, the final reversal only accounted for a very small part, and most of the time was narrated calmly. .

→【Of course, on this point, art films and box office films have different purposes. I only look at it from the perspective of the audience. A thousand people have a thousand opinions, and they only represent themselves]

④As a horror movie, it is not scary enough. Terrifying point... The only thing I am impressed by now is the deep BGM, the occasional sound, and the terrifying face of the psychic old woman who suddenly appeared. For me, this movie is not so much a horror movie... I think the atmosphere created by the movie is more suspenseful, and the desire to explore has surpassed the feeling of fear.

But as mentioned earlier, the subject matter is good, the theme is good, and the look and feel is good.

[Appeal again, the viewers in the barrage may be highly capable, but don't spoil it?]
