Just finished watching the film at AMC. Probably because of its location in Texas, where the people are sturdy, after holding her breath for 90 minutes, when her mother blatantly loaded the gun and picked up the double-barreled shotgun, it was obvious that the surrounding audience was shaken. At this time, the whole film came to an abrupt end, leaving a proud ending.
The rhythm of the whole film is very good, from the cautiousness of the whole family at the beginning, to the little brother accidentally attracting monsters, creating the first climax; more than 400 days later, life seems to be calmer, but because the mother is waiting for delivery, the father Female contradictions and undercurrents surge; until the time of labor, mother hid in the bathtub shudderingly, the rocket suddenly lifted off to usher in the second climax; the third climax was later in the dealings with the monster, dad tried his best There was a cry; until the end, the mother and daughter decided to fight back.
The climax of each plot is an explosion that ushered in after a long period of preparation and savings. It can be said that the "sound" is like gold: most of the momentum of the film is extremely small white noise, and only the important part of the sensational and narrative can use the soundtrack and human voice to create the effect. Whether it's the tweet of the toy space shuttle, the music in the mother's headphones, or the yelling of the father, they all stand out in the quiet background of the blockbuster. Today, when we are away from silent movies for a long time, this technique is more ingenious, just like the girl in red who jumped out of black and white in "Schindler's List".
The story of the film reminds me of the fifth episode of the fourth season of "Black Mirror" "Metal head". It is also facing a powerful hunter and desperately trying to survive. Compared with the loneliness and sadness of "Metal head", "A Quiet Place" emphasizes a family relationship. Maybe this family relationship is the reason why the couple dared to take risks and did not abortion and infanticide.
However, just as the story of "Metal head" is criticized, it is difficult for the film to get rid of similar doubts. Since double-barreled shotguns can destroy monsters, why can't the army's firepower be wiped out? How do monsters distinguish between natural sounds and sounds made by animals? How did the monster turn out? Perhaps the real value of this kind of science fiction sketches is not to propose a logically rigorous setting, but a novel setting with a fascinating plot and twists and turns and moving emotions.
