The Innocents Comments

    It seems that "Innocent People" is actually the operator of this "Rules of the Game". As a classic play structure, the "newcomer interview", which usually shines in horror works, is displayed to the greatest extent in the first half of the film. But from the perspective of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", its second half is too long-winded. The latter proves that this cross-century haunted house can be free from any scary elements: the angel-faced child and the kind-hearted old man make the...

    The perfect super five-star work. The video itself has an atmosphere of British tradition, and the script is a perfect social prophecy. The fathers who left at the beginning symbolize the patriarchal power of the whole society lost in World War II, the children symbolize the young generation who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and the tutors symbolize A newcomer to the rules and the previous generation who have adapted to the rules, ghosting is to simulate the doubts and suspicions caused...

    9.0/10. ①The heroine who came to the country manor to take care of her employer's nephew and niece and two children (an old maid who is sexually repressed because of Christianity) kept seeing ghosts, so she suspected that the two children were possessed by ghosts, and the two children insisted that the heroine was not crazy. Open ending. ②Create a spooky and terrifying feeling: Gothic setting, smooth and high-level camera movement / mise-en-scene (ghostly texture), a lot of overlapping...

    Personally, the most anticipated video scene is the natural and architectural environment of the English manor, which did not disappoint me at first. Secondly, I was surprised that the black and white tone and delicate composition of the film also exudes an elegant British temperament. Part of the film draws on Edmund Wilson's Freudian psychoanalytic point of view on female teachers, and the whole film forms a circular structure with the beginning and the end. The song is very brainwashed and...

    The 20th century fox logo made an exception to appear in a waly... so wonderful! It's been a long time since I've encountered this kind of film that made me watch it twice in a...

    A thriller with classic aesthetics, the English countryside, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the miscellaneous peanut trees, the deep courtyard, the haunted manor, the light and shadow texture is too beautiful, the fade in and out, the picture superimposes, dissolves, these techniques are skillful and...

    Isla Cameron performs and sings the theme song. Deborah Kerr's neurotic performance perfectly matches the director's and cinematographer's superb light and shadow scheduling. Miles looked very cute when he was young and grew up, and the Redgrave male god cameo as a strange...

    This film is either 100% understandable or completely incomprehensible, but it is worth watching just to enjoy the audiovisual. Both the incestuous consciousness and the possessive theory seem to be explained, and the latter is more inclined. Because the node of the two kisses does not match the former explanation, and the two kisses are the male initiative and the female initiative. Also, this is not psychological terror, but direct...

    Innocent man notes

    "Screws are tightening" is famous for the structure of stacked bed frames. It is difficult to shoot like this when adapted into a movie (the Grand Budapest Hotel did it). At the beginning of the film, the female teacher's monologue also created truth and falsehood in a concise way. Difficult...

    Gloomy

    The most frightening thing is not the skeleton that jumps out suddenly, but the gloom of the heart; it is not what you see, but imagination. Even if the sun is shining, it can make the cold climb up the spine.

    The Innocents is a classic in horror movies. It is gentle and elegant without skeletons,...

The Innocents quotes

  • Miss Giddens: We must try to learn what it is these horrors want. Think, Mrs. Grose. The answer must lie in the past. Were Quint and Miss Jessel in love? They were in love, weren't they?

    Mrs. Grose: Love? Oh, I suppose that's what she called it. But it was more like a sickness. A fever that leaves the body burned out and dry. There was no cruelty she wouldn't suffer. If he struck her - oh, yes, and I've seen him knock her to the floor - she'd look at him as though she wanted the weight of his hand. No pride, no shame. Crawl to him on her hands and knees, she would. And him laughing at her. Such a savage laugh he had. Oh, it hurts me to remember. Bad she was, but no woman could have suffered more.

  • Mrs. Grose: [referring to Peter Quint and Miss Jessel's abusive relationship] A person ought to keep quiet about it.

    Miss Giddens: You must tell me.

    Mrs. Grose: Oh, miss, there's things I've seen I... I'm ashamed to say.

    Miss Giddens: Go on.

    Mrs. Grose: Rooms... used by daylight... as though they were dark woods.

    Miss Giddens: They didn't care that you saw them? And the children?

    Mrs. Grose: I can't say, miss. I... I don't know what the children saw. But they used to follow Quint and Miss Jessel, trailing along behind, hand in hand, whispering. There was too much whispering in this house, miss.

    Miss Giddens: Oh, yes, I can imagine. Yes, I can imagine what sort of things they whispered about. Quint, Miles. I can hear them together.

    Mrs. Grose: But there was nothing wrong in Master Miles wanting to be with Quint. Quint taught him to ride and took him walking. The poor lad needed someone to...

    Miss Giddens: To corrupt him?

    Mrs. Grose: But Master Miles is a good boy, miss. There's nothing wicked in him.

    Miss Giddens: Unless he's deceiving us. Unless they're both deceiving us. The innocents.

    Mrs. Grose: Innocents they are, miss. It's not fair. You have no right to accuse them of...

    Miss Giddens: Oh, forgive me, Mrs. Grose. I'm not accusing. I'm just trying to put it together, to understand. Tell me, were the children happy?

    Mrs. Grose: Oh, they seemed to be. The same as now. But sometimes I used to wonder if they really cared for them, those two... or if they weren't just using them.

    Miss Giddens: Using them?

    Mrs. Grose: Yes, of course they were... and still are.
