A little scary

In 2011, the story suspense thriller film "Being in Take Shelter "

The translation of the name of this movie is really good, very rare. . Great feeling.

This film is called the Prophet's "The Shining", but I think the evaluation of this is a bit too high.

The first half of the film performed well, but the plot was a bit procrastinated and dull, when the film broke into the second half of the plot. . Not only does the plot have no climaxes, but it is more lengthy and dull. Although there is a surprise at the end, it can't recover the discomfort at all.

However, the sense of fear expressed in this movie is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Perhaps everyone will have such a primitive sense of fear, but it is not amplified, and when shown, it will become an alien like the protagonist, and even be described as madman. In the end, even I didn't believe in myself.

The depiction of dreams in the movie is very worth seeing, and the technique is also very good. To me, it is really a little scary.

----I am the dividing line of birds---

Recommendation index: ★★★☆ (7/10 points), maybe it's just that I am not quite used to this rhythm.

    A fairly good attempt to portray “anxiety”. For the fear of loss, the film focuses too much on the description of fear, but it somewhat ignores its most fundamental theme. Although it is an open ending, most of them can be inferred from the director's intentions. Regardless of the truth or falsehood, they just want personal fears to resonate with all mankind.

    Much like "The Melancholy"
