Children are always the scariest

After reading case39, I firmly believe: children are always the scariest. Look at Orphan, children are scary, right? Look at the fatal ID, who is the last remaining personality? Child. Not to mention Silent Hill.

There is a reason why horror films regard children as an indispensable element of horror. Of course, it is not that children are more scary after applying makeup, but that children represent a class of people. The appearance is harmless, fragile, and needs help. And caring is actually a deep-hearted one, trying to treat all those who are kind to help them as resource-consuming people. They are the most inconspicuous ones of the masses. They are the eyes that silently peek behind you. They may show their blue fangs in the next second, or they may remain silent in the shadows all the time. This kind of unknown scares most people.

Everyone has a black hole in his heart, and this black hole is the source of your fear. What you fear the most may be a joke in the eyes of others, but this particular fear will make a very calm person chaotic, and it will make a very calm person hysterical. The little witch in this film precisely locates the black hole in everyone's heart, and expands this black hole infinitely, until the darkness consumes all the courage and reason of people. When you are fearless, no one can hurt you. But that is easier said than done.

One of the great advantages of the film is that the first 1/3 of the message sent to the audience is that a pair of perverted parents tried every means to kill their innocent daughter. When the audience has become accustomed to this kind of role setting, the plot is slowly The reversal, the role is slowly changing, so the atmosphere of suspense is ready to emerge.

I have to say that the little girl acted quite horribly, and what was more impressive was the conversation between her and Bradley Cooper alone. That kind of oppression makes people shudder. What kind of devil is she, it is clearly fear itself, she is lurking somewhere, she may appear anytime and anywhere, she oppresses you, and walks with you like a shadow. When you just rejoiced that you had already gotten rid of her, she gently patted your shoulder "I can't leave that easily." When you look nervous and wait for her to appear, she never appears; when you relax your guard, even if it is that way After a short while, she suddenly appeared in front of you. She challenges your endurance and touches your tight nerves.

When the heroine was pushed to the limit and couldn't bear it anymore, when she had nothing to lose, even life and death were out of the question, she had no fear anymore. Facing fear, neglect and carelessness is the most powerful counterattack. She has the upper hand. For her, this is a battle that must be won. As the demon disappeared, her fear also disappeared with the wind.

In fact, everyone has such a little girl in their lives. She is your fear. Although she will not kill you, she erodes your life. How many things are abandoned because of fear, and how many things become futile because of fear? If you don't overcome the fear hidden in your heart, you will never be free. Without freedom, no matter how wonderful the performance is, it is just dancing with shackles.
