The screenwriter textbook says that the core issue of all films is the issue of identity.

Mamiya’s hypnosis always starts from then on, tirelessly, and even asks repeatedly, "Who are you?"

Then he drove straight ahead, invaded the minds of those who were dumbfounded, and acted as their "screenwriters" grandiosely, retrieving their fleeting malice, and then magnifying them into killing intent.

The terrible thing about Mamiya is that he thinks that "flies don't bite the eggs" and he can't help but underestimate him. In front of him, everyone is full of cracks.

When I watch a lot of movies, I hate frequent cross-cutting, especially in close-up shots. Instead, I like the panoramic view and the long shot scheduling of the deep space. The room-in-house structure of the detention room is simply a surprise. Kurosawa Kiyoshi's deep space is used extremely well, and many scenes even assume a self-evident narrative role.

"X Shengzhi" stands out from the crowd, whether it is suspense or horror, it is cold and alienated from beginning to end, almost abandoning the soundtrack, only embellished with wind and waves, or the mechanical sound of a lighter, the broader, all left to Role.

We are also in an inescapable hypnosis.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa is good at using scene narratives, which has nothing to do with his love of playing and scheduling. There are several scenes in the movie that have profound psychological implications, such as an unbalanced home, a room in a prison room, an old building in a wasteland, and a character's The spirit degenerates with the scene. Due to the exquisite details, the psychological scars that Japanese horror films bring to the audience are beyond the reach of stick films. The rumbling of lighters, running water, and washing machines all give people an indelible sense of fear.

9.0/10. This is destined to be another great love in my heart. The hypnotic theme that should belong to Western horror films has become unique after adding Japanese suspense and blurred atmosphere. The rhythm is slow but not dull, and the dark side of human memory is fully excavated. , Since the protagonist imagined that his wife was hanged, the whole movie became more and more powerful. He wanted to use his own way to repay his own body, but both fell into the quagmire of the fish and the net.
