There's a movie that I've tried.
This is how it was described at the time: I was so scared that I didn't even dare to fart.
Because in the film, as long as a sound is made, it will be killed by monsters - "A Quiet Place".
Today, a more exciting, scary, and better-looking sister chapter is here——
"Blindfolded Your Eyes"
Bird Box
Why do you say this one is better?
Not because the heroine is my goddess Sandra Bullock, nor because the director has won the Oscar and Golden Autumn's Best Foreign Language,
for this good story.
If the cousin can only describe it with two words: brilliant.
Especially compared to A Quiet Place.
If you compare the former, it can only be regarded as a monster movie.
Everyone has healthy limbs and sensitive facial features. As long as they don't die, they can probably live for many years.
Especially when it's life and death to have a baby... no zuo no die, why u have to try!
And "Blindfolded" is a real thriller.
What is a thriller?
Technically and stylistically, there are too many interpretations.
But what my cousin wants to talk about today is not these professional terms.
It's the viewing experience.
Every time I watch a thriller, the feeling in my heart...is better than——
Like riding a roller coaster.
You watch it throw you slowly, high up, up, up,
Then fell in an instant.
At that moment, the panic in my heart was tightly twisted, and the pain in the empty space was called weightlessness physically.
But in fact, there is no sense of security.
Thrillers, on the other hand, keep taking away your sense of security.
Once you think about it, the idea of this story can be called God.
"Blindfold your eyes", as soon as you come up, you will give it straight, forcibly depriving your eyesight.
A thoughtful.
In the human five senses, what else is more incomprehensible than the loss of vision.
Attacks from the outside world cannot be resisted. The inner fear cannot be overcome.
A veritable "catch the blind".
If you watch "A Quiet Place" and you are too scared to even chew popcorn, this time "Blindfolded", you will not even dare to watch the ship scene of the goddess.
The whole process is raising your heart, hanging your courage, and playing intrusive experiences with you.
Without further ado, let me introduce the background of the story.
It is another doomsday setting that is not very new. Human beings encounter a devastating disaster and die in large numbers.
Interestingly, the incentives this time are not ordinary monsters, zombie viruses, or biochemical weapons.
It is an invisible spirit body.
Can't see, doesn't mean can't show.
Throughout the play, it appears in four forms.
The first is wind. To be precise, a pile of leaves blown by the wind.
What's so scary about wind?
You try to be in a room with the doors and windows closed, and the curtains suddenly float up...
What 's really scary is the unknown behind the ordinary.
The second is the last word.
All the people who have seen it were chatting and laughing the first second, and hallucinations the next second.
He muttered what he saw, and in the next second he committed suicide without hesitation.
The third is birdsong.
The only bug of this spirit body is that it can be felt by birds.
The fourth type is a portrait of a mental patient.
The more insane, the less afraid of spiritual bodies. And they will catch normal people everywhere, forcing them to open their eyes.
In short, in the face of such a super-spirit body that has neither entity nor anywhere to capture, the government, military, and scientists are all helpless.
The only thing people can do is stay at home and don't go out, all windows are closed, and one day can be counted as one day.
Until the ammunition and food are exhausted, accept your fate and wait to die.
After introducing the big background, the director's lens began to get smaller, so small that it only focused on a shelter.
Here, the ashes, evil, selfishness, bravery, kindness and love in human nature are vividly displayed.
In the hut, except for the original owner, everyone else hid in the chaos of the street.
The people inside are the heroine Mallory, a pregnant woman with an illegitimate child.
A super-spirited, ghost-filled little supermarket guy.
A veteran who wants to chat with the heroine.
A selfish uncle.
A pair of wild mandarin ducks, the man is a street boy, and the woman is a little police flower.
The few days when I just hid in, it was peaceful.
Food is plentiful, and confidence in rescue has not been lost.
Several people sang, chatted, teased each other, and rescued a pregnant woman with kindness.
As soon as the uncle expressed two objections to this, he was sprayed over and over by everyone standing on the moral high ground.
Well, moral, this stuff won't last a few days.
Before watching this movie, my cousin thought about why everyone is so keen on doomsday movies.
A very important reason is that it is like a magnifying glass, exposing all the details of human nature.
Civilization collapsed, morality collapsed, and physical survival became the only goal.
All social identities, labels, and positioning are all void.
When kindness is no longer a necessity for human beings, but an optional choice,
No matter how you choose, it becomes a good show after another.
Food ran out.
Go out to find it, and it is very likely that you will be killed by the spirit body. If you don't look for it, everyone will starve to death.
Who is going?
Several of them risked their lives to touch the supermarket and have to make a choice:
If you don't go back, those who don't come will starve to death, but you can hide in the supermarket and eat for a year.
When I go back, the food I bring is limited, and I will give my life to get it next time.
To go back, or not to go back?
Before this problem was solved, the door of the supermarket was knocked open by a lunatic, who tried to break in and force these people to open their eyes.
At this time, the door could hardly hold up. The only option is to slam the door shut as soon as someone runs and knocks the lunatic out.
But this man can never come back.
Who would want to be this person?
Just to go to the supermarket, you have to face three life-threatening choices.
Next, more.
Everyone knows to get back the food. If you want to survive, you can only rely on this car that blinds the windows and drives to the supermarket by navigation.
But overnight, the car disappeared.
At the same time, the pair of wild mandarin ducks disappeared.
The food was running out and someone called for help outside the door.
This door, open or not?
In the end, almost everyone in the hut suffered misfortune, only Mallory, the veteran brother, and two newborn children survived.
Living in hiding for another five years, during a family outing in search of food, several lunatics attacked them.
Of the two adults, one must open his eyes and kill the lunatics in order to save the others.
But that person can't live for a minute when he opens his eyes.
Who is willing to sacrifice themselves?
Finally, Mallory, who got the message on the radio, took the two children to the next safe house by boat.
The three of them were blindfolded the whole time and went down the river.
until it came to a rapid.
Mallory, the only adult, had to take the helm.
And one of the two children will take off the blindfold, point the way, and die...
Let your own children come, or entrust them to your own orphans?
Throughout the film, the director is leading the audience to make one choice after another.
In such an environment degraded to "the law of the jungle" and "survival of the fittest", all choices cannot be explained by ordinary morality.
Usually you can suffer a little loss, suffer a little grievance, and give way in everything,
But the threshold is raised, even to the top,
What makes you give up is your life, your own, and your loved one's. What should you do?
My cousin has always been unafraid to use the worst malice to speculate on people's hearts, but she often burst into tears for the great kindness that burst forth from ordinary people.
Just like this uncle who believes in "people who don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will perish", the most reasonable words are:
"In the end, there are only two kinds of people left in this world, one is a bastard and the other is a dead person."
In the end, he was killed while protecting his partner.
This movie probably wants to tell us that even in the darkest moments, don't forget to believe in love and hope.
