    [7.3] Although there is a little suspicion of death at the end of the film, I think this is the correct way to shoot a horror film. As the film says, "If you get too far, you want to get close, and if you get too close, you will die." , contains a prophecy about the grasp of distance between people in modern times: we are always a little socially phobic at home. It seems that only souls are friends with us, but I feel lonely after death. The red seal room is very impressive. After watching it,...

    The era when the Internet was not popular accurately predicted the atomization of human life and the negative emotions to the world in the post-Internet era. The afterimage of life projected on the screen is a serious violation of human dignity, and it is also the cold eye of ghosts watching the world. Disappearance seems to be a kind of withdrawal, but it is still trapped in space by loneliness. Violence and negativity toward the world are the conditions of being human, while maintaining love...

    The specter of the Internet devours the human soul, and we keep discovering others and losing ourselves. The moment when the female ghost shouted "I am no longer alone" was undoubtedly reflexive. Did she discover the boundary between the real world and the underworld world that could be broken at the touch of a button? No, it was she who accepted this eternal and hopeless loneliness and accepted her identity as a ghost. But I still feel that the soundtrack of the whole chapter and the...

    The apocalyptic atmosphere and horror scenes created by the director are excellent, but the disadvantage is that the plot is too dull, and it can be completely compressed to 90 minutes. 3 and a half...

    A delicate apocalyptic fable, the last ten minutes made me terrified, a desolate Tokyo, white smoke from the chimneys of factories, a plane on fire passed by, and then exploded. Loneliness is everywhere, like a giant monster that devours the human mind. The soundtrack is also extremely magical, and the use of a large number of orchestral music adds to the sense of fear under the apocalypse. Kiyoshi Kurosawa slapped modern civilization with a slap in the face. The Internet alienated the human...

    With a score of 7.8, this movie is not a horror movie in the true sense, and it discusses more about people's psychological problems. Pessimism will spread like a plague through the Internet, thereby destroying human beings, which is probably the theme of this movie. The disadvantage is that the protagonist's IQ is in a hurry. Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movies are indeed difficult to understand. Although they are good movies, they cannot be recommended to others. The dark shadow on the wall in "School...
