Sudden danger is often the most terrifying experience. So, would you still be frightened if you had known for a long time that danger was coming, or even in what way?
A Quiet Place tells you, yes.
The setting that runs through the entire A Quiet Place series is this: America is overrun by an extremely fast, aggressive, hearing-targeted monster; any louder sound will be heard by them, and quickly Come and kill you.
To sum it up, speak up and you're dead.
Weird sound effects have always been one of the best tools for creating atmosphere in horror movies - everyone must know that as long as the sound is turned off, horror movies are at least 60% less scary (doge). But "A Quiet Place" does the opposite. As the title suggests, the entire first part is almost completely muted, making people suspect that their audio is broken. Because once the sound appears, it is the time when danger comes. The sound of the sound is the horn of death. Before I knew it, I seemed to be brought into a state of the same fate as the protagonist. Although I was off the screen, I didn't dare to breathe or make a sound. The second part has more sound because of the plot, but most of the plot is still immersed in silence, and the feeling of not daring to breathe is still with you - you know it's over, you know the monster will come, you know it is What kind of - but you can't help but beat your heart when it's there.
You pray in your heart that the child walking in the picture does not make a sound.
But the child not only made a sound, but also killed the monster and sounded the horn of resistance.
Yes, if the main force of the first part is the father who is omnipotent, tolerant, tolerant, always optimistic, always gentle (and finally takes the lunch), and the mother of steel will, toughness and bravery, never surrender, and pick up the shotgun, And human beings have always been in the prey position. Except for killing a monster in the end, they have been beaten by monsters, so in the second part, they are unwilling to succumb to the status quo, bravely embark on the road of exploration, trust each other, love each other, and bravely take up arms. The two brothers and sisters, who were only in their early 10s, killed a monster by themselves, marking that the human beings who were cornered in a desperate situation finally struggled to kill a child on the side of the monster.
This is a story of sadness and despair. The weak human body can only be torn apart by monsters in an instant. Even though it has a vocal organ, it becomes afraid to use it, dare not communicate, dare not express, dare not vent, dare not cry, dare not dare Laugh, dare not love. The peaceful life was torn apart in an instant, and human beings fell from the top of the biological chain.
But this is also a story of courage and hope. Even in the face of an enemy thousands of times stronger than themselves, being scattered and difficult to form a group, human beings have not given up hope of living. As a microcosm, the protagonist's family is constantly exploring and testing the weaknesses and characteristics of monsters. Even the weakest children among human beings are not afraid to struggle with their weak bodies, and do not choose to succumb to fate, fear and strength. The foundation lights up the fire of hope and resistance.
According to official sources, there will be a third film of "A Quiet Place". The sister of the protagonist at the end of the second part has reached an island without monsters and can broadcast to the outside world. I think in the third part, we may be able to see the human formation based on the island, starting with the monsters to fight back and try to retake the world that once belonged to us.
There is desperation but not despair, and human beings will never give up easily.
