"Blindfolded" is a classic horror movie, "Blindfolded" is a bad movie. Where is the classic to be explained? Where is the rot? A double spoiler. "Fantasy stories can deduce a surreal world, but that doesn't mean that the audience can accept everything the film proposes. If the rules in this supernatural world are not clear enough, or if new rules are suddenly introduced into the story, the audience is likely to be concerned about this The stories they used to be so involved in became cold and distant." The biggest problem with bad films like Blindfolded -- including Game of Thrones' bad ending -- is that it randomly tweaks the rules of fantasy worlds. It makes the audience aware of the randomness (incompetence?) of the screenwriter/director, the blunt plot, the strong sense of manual manipulation, the development in an illogical direction, and ultimately the self-consistency of the fantasy world cannot be achieved. On a macro level, there is only one word: to justify it.
Spoiler details below. The beginning of "Blindfolded" is an indoor conversation between the heroine and her best friend during the day. This small talk does not provide much meaning. It can be reduced or even removed, and the heroine can directly recall the chaos in the streets, or start from hiding in a closed villa, but it will be more compact. Small talk makes the audience feel procrastination, boredom, slow progress, and comfort yourself to hold back and then there will be something exciting. The opening scene of "Ferocious Bell" directly realizes a small closed loop. Also girls and friends, but also chat. It is a Japanese-style, cramped home at night. The girl directly told her friend that there was a videotape, and the person watching it would die in seven days. When her friend saw that she was very worried, she asked her if she had watched it? The girl nodded, and today was the seventh day. nervous! Straight to the point. And it fits the reason why I invite my friends to come home tonight to accompany me. The beginning is the night of the end. He also said that before he died, he would receive a mysterious phone call. This rumor sounds unrealistic, but it is alarming. Friends are also afraid. The two were silent for a while, and the girl laughed first, "I lied to you." The friend was angry, and the two started fighting. Invert. The tension that had just built up was relieved. At the same time, whether the girl's encounter is true or not has become a suspense. Just as the two were fighting, suddenly the phone rang! The girl's face turned ashen at once, laughing froze was more ugly than crying. Friends panicked, "... it is true? The girl nodded. It was silent again, and the two were too frightened to answer, but the phone bell was especially harsh on a quiet night, and it kept going. It reversed again. Hit the climax. The suspense was right in front of you: the phone was What? What will happen when you pick it up? Will she die? How? There is no way to escape the disaster. In the end, her friend accompanied the girl, walked downstairs step by step, bit her head, and answered the phone... Nothing happened. , it was just the girl's good friend calling to chat. The tense atmosphere was released all of a sudden. The two smiled lightly, mocking each other for their cowardice in the face of ghost rumors just now. The girl held the microphone and chatted happily. It turned again. A false alarm. The audience relaxed again. The girl hung up the phone after chatting. After a while, the power went out at home, and the friend went to other rooms to check (to use the toilet?), at this time, only the girl was left alone in the downstairs room. Unknown Premonition. The atmosphere became tense again. Behind the girl, the TV suddenly turned on itself, and there was a noise of snowflakes. She slowly turned around, looked back at the TV, and screamed! Scared to death! The death of the protagonist was the most shocking. The protagonist always occupies the center of the stage (third point of view), or directly leads the first point of view. Therefore, the audience is most familiar with, most concerned about, and most immersed in the protagonist. In life, the most shocking change, in addition to one's own change, is the change of the relatives and friends who are most familiar with every day. The fox will be sad when the rabbit dies. If the tomato frog in Madagascar dies, the fox will not feel much. But for film and television - even in horror films, the protagonist cannot die prematurely, otherwise the scene will be inconvenient to unfold. If the scene can still unfold, it is not the protagonist. Audiences also have expectations. The audience will be very nervous when watching the protagonist on the screen in distress, and holding on to the fluke that may be okay (generally, the movie often does save the protagonist's life and death until the end), the protagonist relaxes when he is falsely alarmed, and it will be very scary when the protagonist dies unexpectedly. The protagonist actually did not escape halfway, and really died. This is the defeat of the audience's psychological defense line who has substituted into the protagonist's halo. "Blindfolded" is that "normal", the heroine wears a halo of body protection, from the beginning to the end, the audience wastes time waiting for the ending to be announced. The same opening scene, "Ferocious Bell", has the effect of the death of the protagonist. Because it is the opening, the audience has not yet included the real protagonist. The role of this scene occupies all the attention, and the stage is centered on her, becoming the current protagonist. Therefore, in the opening conversation scene of "Ferocious Bell", it is not like "Blindfolded" where the real heroine comes out to chat, but the protagonist of the opening scene replaces the protagonist of the whole play to complete a death shock. Like a streamlined prequel, it is exciting, and leads to the later drama and the road of the protagonist. This small closed loop has twists and turns, from straight-to-the-point strange rumors, to dubious, false alarms, and finally back to the carbine suddenly, and the heroine dies. The plot fits well, the audience's psychological ups and downs are shocking, and the line is natural. Compare the opening scene to a cold dish before a big meal. "Blindfolded" tastes like chewing wax; and the scene of "Ferocious Bell" is like a dish of oil-drenched chicken or sliced beef, small in quantity and high in quality. If you pick up the taste alone, you can also get it. Good horror movie. It's definitely not a sudden grimace and a rogue-like screeching increase of decibels to scare you, nor is it an inexplicable big hole at the beginning, and then the screenwriter himself can't fill it. Write and correct. Not finished. . . It's not an inexplicable big hole at the beginning, and then the screenwriter himself can't fill in it and make changes while writing. Not finished. . .
