Revenge under the dance of gods and demons

As an adaptation of a dark horror novel, the essence of the film shows the excavation of the dark psychology of human nature, and it uses the strange power of ghosts and heresies to directly attack the deepest secrets of human nature. The film uses a kind of black humor to interpret the story written by Joe Hill, with a slightly ironic and slightly exaggerated layout. Although it did not really move people's hearts, the creativity and wild imagination still gave people a lot of unexpected Surprise, watching this film makes it difficult to integrate into the atmosphere that it wants to express, and it does not bring people into the story well. More still, it feels that the setting of the story is a bit elusive, and it is difficult for people to integrate into it and enjoy the fun of peeling off the cocoon. . The film did not produce the kind of attraction that the novel has, and it was more disturbed by the repressive atmosphere created by the film. For the role of the leading actor of "Harry Potter" Daniel Radcliffe, it was less. This resolute determination to revenge, added a trace of decadent and depraved feelings. I always feel that Daniel is not suitable for such a role, although he can see that he is trying very hard to play such a role, but he does not have the temperament that makes people feel evil and good coexist, even after he is transformed , There is still a lack of vigor and hostility that a demon should have in the eyebrows. Regarding the story itself, it can be said that it should be a very good story, but the feeling of the film made makes people feel that it is not as good-looking as I imagined. I always feel that the characters in the story seem to have been completely changed positions, one by one. All of them fell into commonality and vulgarity, making people unable to find the explosive point of the story. The performance of the actors did not give the story the meaning that the story wanted to express at all. It was just a careless imitation of an appearance. The true essence was not grasped well, making the film unknowingly reduced to the level of a third-rate film.

The rhythm of the movie is too slow and depressing. Even for dark horror movies, the soothing and monotonous shots did not create the feeling and momentum of the wind and rain. On the contrary, it makes people feel very boring, and I don’t want to watch it. The desire to go down. The first half of the movie didn't make people feel anything valuable at all, but there was a sense of wasting time incomprehensibly. The film's excessive pursuit of the depiction of the details in the novel, and almost all of the character's portrayal is piled up with small details. Although it is also mixed with novel ideas, it is just an angry brush with the sense of existence over and over again. It's a bit boring. From the beginning to the end of the movie, I want to portray a perfect romantic love. The love story runs through the whole movie as the main line of the story to highlight the tragic color. It really makes people feel a little moved, but the movie always features the protagonist. The pessimistic and negative emotions completely affect the audience's concern for the plot, unknowingly produce the urge to be bored with the protagonist. Daniel Radcliffe interprets the role as a useless person inside and out. Even if the determination of revenge is finally ignited, he is still a character who has been abused and survived. The image has never been able to. Shape it up. In our eyes, Daniel’s performance is like a child, not only full of childish performance, but also completely lacking mature thoughts and actions. The movie is completely restrained by Daniel’s image, and the interpretation of the characters combined with the development of the plot has completely become It’s a feeling of playing house. How is it to use the magic power of the devil to revenge? This is a game played by a child. Although the movie is also full of restricted commercial elements, the IQ of the entire movie has been lost. Several young actors were deeply pulled down.

What makes the movie feel brilliant is the novel creativity of the story. Combining the power of the devil, people can confess the true thoughts in the heart directly, and present the most true thoughts in the heart before us to analyze the sin and evil of human nature. . This is also the film style of the director Alexander Ajia. No matter how absurd, vulgar and low-interest movies are, they can always return to the exploration of human nature. Perhaps the content of the story itself is very simple, but because of the sins and evils of human nature, things have become more and more complicated and more sinful. From the movie, we can see that even if you become a devil with the power of the devil, you still need to pay a lot of twists and turns if you want to discover and find out the truth afterwards. What is difficult to deal with is not to face the maliciousness thrown directly, but to hide. The human sin behind hypocrisy.

As a Harry Potter fan, seeing the current Daniel Radcliffe is really heartbreaking. Not only is the length of the person getting more and more unbearable, even the style of the performance tends to be more and more cowardly and incompetent. Useless. You can no longer feel the sunshine and vitality that overflows with him, let alone the hope and joy he brings to others. Instead, you feel more like a child who will never grow up, cowardly, willful, decadent and gloomy. Even the performance feels feminine and blunt. Is it because my vision has changed, or is he confined by the image of Harry Potter, or am I completely a member of the Appearance Association? It's hard to explain, hard to tell.
