now talks about horror movies. Perhaps the first thing that pops out in many people’s minds is works like "Saw Horror" or "Mountain Village Corpse". After all, it seems that the plasma and terrifying ghosts are the ones that are full of screens. A horror movie should look like it should be, but the movie we are talking about today is completely the opposite.
As a horror movie, it does not have any bloody scenes, or even any weird and distorted images, but This does not mean that this movie is not horrible. On the contrary, this movie was released in 2001. Douban currently has a score of 8.1 better than 98% of the horror movie. Let’s talk about this chilling classic. The setting of "Small Island"
is extremely clever. All the contradictions in the movie are based on these settings. The final result is unexpected and reasonable. First of all, it is human and ghost. The setting of being invisible to each other under the circumstances laid the foundation for Grace to misunderstand that the uninvited guest is a ghost. Secondly, the setting that the ghost suddenly learned that his death might lead to aphasia provided the rationale for the housekeeper’s failure to confess the truth to Grace. Although these two settings are relatively innovative, they do have certain rationality. In addition, in terms of plot design, this movie is somewhat similar to "Sixth Sense". Both have a subversive reversal at the end
but this Although the magnitude of the reversal is large, it does not make people feel abrupt, because looking back, the whole movie is actually full of clues about the final truth, and most of the clues are hidden under these more attractive suspense. Therefore, although these clues are not obscure, they will not attract too much attention from the audience. For example, the servants who disappeared suddenly. At the beginning of the movie, Grace said that all the servants in her house disappeared strangely a week ago. Attention was focused on the three servants who suddenly appeared, so I didn’t think much about the reason why the original servants disappeared. But after the movie, we can see when we look back and see that it was not the servants who disappeared at the time, but the grid. The three of Lace’s mother and son died
, so under normal circumstances, we can’t see the servants alive. Let’s say the absent postman. Grace mentioned that the postman confiscated the mail this week. At that time, we wanted to understand that since the mail was mailed. If it was not mailed, why did these three people come uninvited? So few people focused on why the postman didn’t come, but after the movie ended, we suddenly understood that Grace’s family was dead. Of course, the postman will not go to Grace’s house to receive mail again. Of course, it can also be understood that the postman in the sun cannot receive the letter from the underworld. It was Grace who gave the rescue in time, but in fact, after the death of the two, the disease that was allergic to the sun during their lifetime also healed. When we watch this movie for the second time with the answer, although there will be less at the end It’s shocking, but in the process it will be a little bit more shocking, but it’s worth mentioning that the movie is very specific to some key plots. The intention is left blank, and without affecting the integrity of the plot, it also leaves enough room for the audience to reverie
. For example, the reason why Grace killed the child and why Charles came back and left. By the way, I will give you all Share my understanding. First, let’s talk about why Grace committed suicide after killing her own child. This should start from the background of the story. The story took place in 1945. Although the movie explains that World War II was just over, it still cannot be ruled out. There were cases where the Nazis did evil, and Grace also mentioned in the movie that she had successfully driven the Nazis out of the house, but it was weird that a weak woman drove the Nazis away, so I boldly guessed that Grace did not rush. Going to the Nazis, she just hid with the children
Why didn’t she let the children speak out, so she tightly covered the child’s mouth and nose with a pillow, which led to the child’s death. Grace was very sad after seeing the child killed by mistake, so Suicide, the Nazis heard the voice and came over to check. Because World War II was over at the time, as a fleeing soldier, he did not dare to make a statement about his life, but fled the scene silently. Therefore, when the bodies of Grace's family of three were found, people only knew Grace. I suffocated my child, but couldn’t know the real reason.
Next, let’s talk about the reason why Charles left without saying goodbye after he came back. I think Charles was actually not dead at the time, but was seriously injured in the war and was in a state of dying. The soul came back home, but Charles himself did not realize thisPoint, this is why Charles looked confused when he first saw Grace, but after returning home, his daughter Ann reminded Charles, Father Anwen, did you kill anyone? After this sentence, Charles's expression was obviously wrong, which may indicate that he recalled the scene of his serious injury and mistakenly thought that he was dead, but Charles still did not realize that his wife and children were actually dead
So afterwards, Charles was considering the different ways of human beings and ghosts, and kept a distance from his wife and children. After Charles proposed to leave, it was logical that he believed that he should not disturb his living wife and children, so he said that he wanted to return to the front line. Fighting. After all, the war was not over when Charles was injured. After he was in a coma, he could not know that the war was actually over. It is easy to understand his disappearance. This is because Charles woke up in reality and left. The world of ghosts
