I don't understand why some people think this is the best movie of 2018. In my opinion, this is just a crazy self-confidence by the director through the old version. What is the use of inserting so many metaphors of the times? The news of the Red Company has been broadcast one after another. Where is the connection with this story? Why does that old doctor exist? At the end, I didn’t understand, saying that the old man became a "witness" of the event, but why does this story need a "witness"? Without this old man, that ritual could not be completed? There is no explanation in these movies, and there is a problem with the editing of this movie. The heroine Bengdi jumped another dancer to death. I can't see the correlation between the two actions. Just edit the wonderful part that can be changed. The director's rough handling made this part seem illogical.
Let's talk about the so-called "horror elements" of this movie: bone distortion, urinary incontinence, physical puncture, plasmaization of female genital organs; these things make me sick, nothing else, purely using visual impact to cause physical discomfort to the audience, personal I don't think this is a superb method.
Generally speaking, I am disgusted by the director’s handling of this film. If you really want to spot the current ills, you can make "Goodbye Lenin" and impose something like a period documentary in a horror film without establishing a relationship with the main plot. Any connection, the egg hurts.
The background of the times in the movie has zero influence on the story. If this story is stripped out, it takes place at any time; any place is established. I don't know if this is the director's success or failure.
For this kind of very obscure metaphoric movies, I have always had a myth. For example, you have created a dish with high nutritional value, but it tastes like stool. How should you evaluate this dish?
