This film review is just to narrate the plot with the heroine

Many years ago, a little girl (let's call her A, the same below) followed her parents to the beach to play. A got lost, entered a room full of mirrors, and met a girl B who looked very similar to her.

The camera is pulled to the present, and according to C's memory, we know that C is the little girl A of that year. She remembers that she ran out in a panic, found her parents and returned home. She was so scared that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Years later, the heroine C had a boy and a girl, and followed her husband's family of four to the beach vacation of that year.

C's family was hunted down by D's family. C found that D's family looked exactly the same as his own, so he thought that D was the little girl he met back then.

And the communication between the two families is all forced by D, and the others will only scream

After finally breaking free, he escaped to the house of a friend who was on vacation with him, but found that his friend had been killed, and killed the man in red corresponding to his friend's house.

They continued to escape, during which they successively killed the men in red corresponding to their two children, and their son was also taken away by D

C found the hut that year, found that the underground was a huge space, found D, killed D when he was almost killed, and rescued his son. But the son seemed too frightened to speak.

After returning to the ground, when C was driving, he remembered that many years ago, after the little girl A entered, she was stunned by B, and she grew up underground, but B returned to the ground and found A's parents.

At this time, C, who was driving, looked at his son, who had never said a word, but his son was wearing a mask, just like the little boy in the red-clothed family before.

So far, the front and back are connected

D is actually A from that year, and C is B who escaped back then, which explains why only D can speak among the people in red

And B followed A's parents back home back then was not overly frightened as the parents thought, but she was not her daughter at all, and she couldn't speak at all!

    People who went to watch the trailer after watching the trailer may have two reactions, disappointment or surprise, because the trailer only shot one-third of the whole film, and half of them thought "It's just a trick of Hanneck's "Happy Heart"! "As a result, I underestimated Jordan Peel. Although I prefer Get Out's script, I have to admire his ability to write scripts. Lupita Nyong'o is also a queen player for next year's awards season. The soundtrack is terribly scary and enjoyable! (Finally, the amount of information is too large, you need to read more comments)

    Jordan Peele's mobilization of the audience and the atmosphere of the movie is excellent, screaming and laughing one after another. In fact, there is no need to worry about "understanding" and "understanding" in the process of watching a movie. It is just the process of enjoying the movie, but the greatest degree of satisfaction can be obtained. Peele's polishing of the script also buried many clues and details throughout the film. Obviously, behind Peele's repeated emphasis on the film as a horror film, there are still strong social and political metaphors. His goal is only to show and satire, not to delve into it or try to answer. The ballet part is the best, a dual expression of both brutality and grace.

Us quotes

  • 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.
