Can we not pull it so high?

As a fan who always likes to support Lao Ku, it is a bit embarrassing to watch such a classic film until tonight -_-!

But after watching the movie and then watching the comments, it is even more sweaty. Does it have such a deep connotation? For a while, the environment drove people crazy, and then came the conflict of the American massacre of Indians and even the demise of the Americans, and finally it was elevated to "the ugliness of humanity and intellectuality for all mankind." Although the film is good, it can't be so far-fetched. Because I watched too many horror films, I saw many dialogues and scenes were plagiarized in other films, and I just secretly laughed, and I really didn't calm down, so I really couldn't be scared.

It’s already obvious from the last shot. Jack has always been the guardian of this house. He just returned to the old place decades later to perform his duties. This has already been laid before the film. A month later, when he got up early, he said, "When I came here for an interview, I felt like deja vu." Including the last killer, that is, the waiter who appeared later (I was the most impressed with corrected), just like Jack.

There are so many super powers in the film. It is understood that the illusion is too far-fetched. For example, Jack is locked in the storage room. Can the illusion open the door for him? If space claustrophobia makes people crazy, why is his wife okay? It was originally a supernatural horror film (although it does not seem very horrible now), it has to be a lot of truth, as for? The hotel is built on an Indian grave, must it be racial discrimination? I think it’s just adding fuel and vinegar. Aren’t many horror movie scenes full of cemeteries or abandoned buildings? In addition, Indians and blacks are two unrelated things.

No matter the use of the lens, the music, and the scenes of the film are classics, but what is the meaning of this, if there is none, it is better not to add it. It cannot be so high because it is a film of Lao Ku, and it should be replaced by Kun. Ting’s, would you deliberately add some connotation to it?

    The oppressive feeling created by the lens and modern soundtrack is overwhelming, and the audiovisual language is at its peak. In addition, the plot is still relatively poor, and all the characters are basically smart.

    Even if it is a failed work, as long as people become famous, they will be said to be reasonable. Except for a few amazing shots, it is really far from Hitchcock's Psycho.
