    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "Hereditary", Ari Aster made a very convincing debut, creating a taboo atmosphere, in which almost every shot is filled with horror and fear, and finally digs out a deeper emotional side   . At the same time, he built the horror story in a confined space. Based on the genre inheritance of traditional American horror films, the film has achieved a breakthrough in narrative strategy. Through the nesting of story space and the turning of discourse space, the fateful writing of family ethical fears; Under the double examination, it highlights the concern about the alienation of human spirit and social reality, and has made innovations in the genre and paradigm of mainstream horror films .

      three-faced horror movie

      On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I finally made an appointment with two friends. After finding a private movie cafe, our "hereditary bad luck" journey began.

      Although there is nothing scary about the first half of the movie, it is still a little scary because of the atmosphere of a...

      Religion made me give three stars. .

      The horror atmosphere of the film itself is not bad! I remember watching it at night in the study room opposite No. 1 Middle School, which is quite exciting. On the scene, there are classic European and American horror classic carrion and human body forcibly dragging (a bit forgot..)

      Several...

      Americans are poor? His poor family has not turned on the lights? The government is also poor without street lights? Halfway through, it felt dark, and after a while, it was dark again, and it was dark again? Is it a horror movie? Too lazy to watch. . . . .

      From crying to evil to this one, there is no most rubbish, only more rubbish. It seems that this generation of horror film directors has lost the ability to frighten the audience. Needless to say, the dry and calm fear of Hitchcock’s era, plasma has long been tired of it, so they have to keep going to folklore, symbols, occultism, cults, and relying on them. Bluffing others and bluffing yourself. It's like if you can't do academic well, you can only get a basket of cultural research, and you can throw everything in it.

    Hereditary quotes

    • Charlie: Who's gonna take care of me?

      Annie: Uh, excuse me? You don't think I'm gonna take care of you?

      Charlie: But when you die?

    • Peter: You okay, Mom?

      Annie: What?

      Peter: Is there something on your mind?

      Annie: Is there something on *your* mind?

      Peter: Just seems like there... might be something you... wanna say.

      Steve: Peter.

      Annie: Like what? I mean, why would I wanna say something so I can watch you sneer at me?

      Peter: Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.

      Annie: Oh, sweetie, you don't have to. You get your point across.

      Peter: Okay, so, fine, then say what you wanna say, then.

      Steve: Peter.

      Annie: I don't wanna say anything. I've tried saying...

      Peter: Okay, so try again. Release yourself.

      Annie: Oh, release you, you mean?

      Peter: Yeah, fine, release me, just say it! Just fucking say it!

      Annie: DON'T you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but you're sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste... if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because... because NOBODY admits anything they've done!
