Look at these loopholes, don't talk to me about the connotation

Let's take a look at some of the biggest flaws in the movie:

1. Are all people in the US government agencies stupid? For such a large experimental project, if you abandon it, you will also destroy the corpse and destroy it. Not only will the door be left open, but the door will not be locked. Are they waiting to be exposed or dead? It might be more credible if the staff were slaughtered by the shadow.

2. What's the matter with the clothes worn by the abandoned underground world? There are tailors in the underground world? Where did you buy the fabric? The daily clothes may not be too bad, isn't the shadow wearing a tutu too much? Director, you are bothered.

3. When the little girl's real body sees her shadow in the mirror room, the two people wear the same clothes (including the shadow's parents who are wearing the same clothes as Lu Zhen's, this is too illogical, changing a set of clothes every day) How to ensure that the clothes are exactly the same under the circumstances?) Why are there scenes of two children changing clothes in the memory? Forcing the logic to be correct?

4. How did the real body escape after being handcuffed in the underground world? Why didn't you try to run back to the ground after escaping? She must know the way out, otherwise how did she find it later?

5. If the real body and the shadow do everything in sync, the excrement will accumulate every day, and the underground will long be unsuitable for living.

6. If the shadows are controlled by the real body to move, why can they synchronize and control themselves for a while? Why after the little girl was replaced, the shadow danced the ballet but controlled the real body?

7. Where do so many scissors of the same style come from? Is it issued by the US government? Underground scissors (guns) not controlled? Protect the basic rights and interests of the people?

8. What do rabbits eat? Eat pups? Why are there no rabbits on the ground?

9. Shadow son likes to play with fire? Where did the fire come from? Can't fire roast rabbits, why eat them raw?

10. Why the shadows in the whole play are adults, only the black family has children, shouldn't there be shadow babies, shadow pregnant women, shadow old people and shadow corpses?

11. When the black shadow killed the black family, he deliberately dragged the time to keep them alive. The white family went down with four scissors, neatly, so since the shadow can kill people without blinking an eye, the filming method of dragging time is such a rookie director, don’t you know? ?

12. Holding hands activity, a horror movie, the excitement is over, you have to pour ideological soup, it doesn't matter if your story is well told, the problem is that this movie is hilarious and disgusting from beginning to end.

There are other issues in the film, but I'm too lazy to sort them out. Putting connotation as a selling point but being too lazy to tell the story well is no different from the works of syringe inkjet artists. Some people are easy to be fooled, and they applaud when they hear a story or a metaphor, but more people just don't buy it if they are not fooled by you. The soundtrack and pre-promotion of the film were blinded in vain. After all, the editing of the trailer of this film is still very good. Blumhouse's work has always been good, and this time it's really disappointing. The director's journey through the world of yin and yang also has a lot of slots. For the sake of connotation, the story is abandoned, and God's perspective forcibly instills personal opinions, which is too perfunctory, and even a little arrogant and narcissistic.

  • Red: Once upon a time, there was a girl and the girl had a shadow. The two were connected, tethered together. And the girl ate, her food was given to her warm and tasty. But when the shadow was hungry, he had to eat rabbit raw and bloody. On Christmas, the girl received wonderful toys; soft and cushy. But the shadow's toys were so sharp and cold they sliced through her fingers when she tried to play with them. The girl met a handsome prince and fell in love. But the shadow at that same time had Abraham, it didn't matter if she loved him or not. He was tethered to the girl's prince after all. Then the girl had her first child, a beautiful baby girl. But the shadow, she gave birth to a little monster. Umbrae was born laughing. The girl had a second child, a boy this time. They had to cut her open and take him from her belly. The shadow had to do it all herself. She named him Pluto, he was born to love fire. So you see, the shadow hated the girl so much for so long until one day the shadow realized she was being tested by God.
