"A Quiet Place": Really let us experience in a silent environment, and the horror will follow!
When the trailer for "A Quiet Place" was exposed on the Internet, a lot of publicity attracted me, and I paid special attention to it. The tension and survival rules rendered in the trailer were frightening and fascinating. At that time,
officially claimed that the domestically released version was uncut, and the high reputation abroad made this disaster thriller highly anticipated.
In the depressive and quiet atmosphere created in the film, the audience kept a rare silence, no one answered the phone, no children crying, no couple chatting, everything was so quiet.
In traditional thrillers, the audience has long been accustomed to experiencing the soaring adrenaline in the atmosphere created by music. But "A Quiet Place" does the opposite, allowing the audience to experience the unknown fear in silence. After the horror movie
was released in China, the results were not satisfactory. It was not as popular as expected. However, it suffered a serious polarization in word of mouth. A large number of netizens said that "the logic is unreasonable" and "the setting is novel but the technique is pharaoh." "Set" and so on are the most frequently mentioned issues.
Personally feel that the expected value of the trailer may be too high for me. After watching the movie, I feel a little regretful. The exciting parts seem to be described in the trailer. The specific plot did not bring me too deep experience. Sense, In short, it is a popcorn-style commercial film, but by no means a classic! The advantages and disadvantages of
are obvious. The advantage is a strong sense of substitution, which keeps the audience in a state of tension. The disadvantage is that there are a lot of logical problems in the plot, which makes people feel a little disappointed.
"A Quiet Place" focuses on the survival experience of a family after a monster invades the earth. Such ferocious monsters without sight but sensitive hearing are everywhere. For this reason, the surviving protagonists are forced to stay vigilant at all times.
's daily communication relies on sign language to avoid noise when walking, and even the children’s toys are changed into soft cloth bags. When there are monsters waiting for opportunities outside, the gap between father and daughter deepens inside, and the baby is about to be born in the mother's womb, the encounter between the family and the monster is inevitable. Director
first used a lot of details to pave the way for the world view of the movie, creating a thrilling atmosphere, and then through the young son playing with the toy airplane to make a sound, the plot of being captured by the monster pushed the tension to a climax. At the end, the moment when the heroine is giving birth alone in the bathroom when the monster approaches is thrilling, and the fear reaches its peak! The feature of the movie
is that in a quiet place, there is a loud noise suddenly, which is scary enough to maximize the effect of "surprise and surprise".
, as a thriller movie costing less than 20 million yuan, "Quiet Place" has a box office of 270 million US dollars, and the domestic box office has exceeded 100 million. The cooperation between the couple can be said to be very successful. Although the current thrillers of
continue to improve their special effects and screenwriting skills, they are getting harder and harder to frighten the audience. It has become an inevitable way for the editors to fight for creativity. Although some of the scary methods of this film and the fragments that inspire conflicts all feel forced and artificial, as a small-cost film, the degree of completion is quite high, and we cannot demand such perfection.
Recently, the same type of thriller "Hold Your Breath", "Silent Night" and so on feel a bit thunder, heavy rain and little rain. It always feels a little bit worse. It may be that the plot is too weak to give us the true feelings.
Whenever I read about netizens’ comments on this film, I often think that if the screenwriter can advance the time point of the heroine’s conception, the family will overcome all difficulties and protect the new life in the face of catastrophe, and use it on this basis. Limited resources create a silent environment, not only will the credibility of the entire story be greatly improved, but the portrayal of family affection will also be more vivid. Although
has various problems, it does not prevent it from becoming a high-quality thriller with characteristics and ideas. After watching the movie, you will definitely remember the long nail on the stairs that has not been nailed in. Every time you see it When the protagonists walked barefoot on the stairs, I was fidgeting, and I always felt like stepping on it. It was much scarier than all the noises and monsters in the movie. The open ending at the end of the
film is still a wonderful one. I don’t know if the creators have plans to shoot a sequel. I still wonder how the surviving mother and the children survive in this quiet world.
