Facing reality and being loyal to ideals

After being recommended by a friend, I was fortunate enough to watch this film. The reversal of the ending made me unable to calm down for a long time. Without feeling the cruelty of the war, it brought such a tragedy to a family.


The opening scene of Grace's awakening screaming from sleep sets the tone for the film, pulling the audience into this strange lonely house. In Nuoda's castle, there is only the heroine alone, and then three uninvited servants. When Grace told the servants one strange note after another, I believe the audience was full of doubts at this time, eager to know what happened next. what happened. With the appearance of the two lovely children, they entered a brief and warm daily picture of the family, and people gradually felt the warmth of the family, but the private conversation between the servants was like the thick fog around the castle, revealing strangeness.

The uninvited guest broke the tranquility of the castle. From the little girl's quarrel with Grace to Grace's search for uninvited guests throughout the castle, Grace is more and more panicked. On the way to find the priest, Grace accidentally met her husband who had returned from the battlefield. The unexpected joy temporarily restored Grace to her former style, but her husband hid in the house and refused to come out. Until Grace and her husband quarreled, her husband's unspoken and inner feelings Undoubtedly, the pain of Grace is revealed, and the paranoia and helplessness of Grace's spirit are also particularly pitiful.

With the follow-up ending, we finally understand that the Grace family has long since died. Grace waited for the return of her husband who had gone to war. Finally, when the news that her husband had died, Grace was unbearable, and she killed her own child in grief, and then committed suicide. The truth of the story is so heartbreaking.


When I was a child, I yearned for the world of martial arts. I always imagined myself as a person with high martial arts walking in the rivers and lakes, acting as a chivalrous person. As I grew older, I gradually realized that this was just an illusory dream. The world of martial arts is fictional, in fact. Reality is the real world, far more cruel and exciting than the world of martial arts.

The real world is so huge and complex, everyone will encounter different things, and many similar things will happen. If we just immerse ourselves in our own "spiritual rivers and lakes", at the end, we will find that there will be no escape like Grace. I think that only if you use it to face your own "reality rivers and lakes", you will have more choices and finally reach your ideal other side.

    It's not just us escaping from reality-it turns out that it's not only humans who dare not accept reality, but ghosts are the same. Sadness has no distinction between yin and yang. Suspense creates a very good movie, and the final reversal is amazing. Also, Nicole is so beautiful in this movie, even the expression of panic is so delicate.

    The scenes and stories of the hostess tearing and flying the paper were indeed shocked. I always think that Nicole Kidman has a fierce look, and she is much better in this film, but she is really beautiful, with lazy blond hair and a slender figure. I like her clothes the most, I like everything! The retro style is exquisitely tailored, and the waist coat is slender. In addition, the portrait album is really scary, especially the people in the photos are beautiful, which is even more scary!
