"Stepfather" sinks with hope

Regarding the "Stepfather" in 2009, I am afraid that the remake is only a formality. I
remember that after watching this film a few months ago, Hai Shi helped me to compare the new version with the old version. He has seen all three versions. , I naturally want to ask him for advice. He prefers the first version, no matter the attitude of the production and the film story itself, the second and third versions have obvious shortcomings and shortcomings. According to his words, to remake the film, its backbone cannot be changed, and it must stand straighter. However, the new version obviously violates this one. It turns the quite full monster morbid killer in the original version into a mysterious murderer who will not anger the American audience. It erases the perverted blood, but fails to make up for the whole drama with profound story connotation. .

Earlier, Reuters commented on the new version of "Stepfather", also calling it "a meaningless remake". Although this film has such an outline in my heart, I am still curious. After watching it, I immediately resonated. Thinking about it, I expected it.

The routine is similar to "Orphan", because it is a remake of an old film, there must be no connection with stealing or stealing, but in terms of quality, it is one grade worse. In this film, there is no clear explanation for the motive of the hero David's murder. Quan should understand that a man with a mental barrier cannot integrate into the newly formed family, and then sharpens his knife to his "relatives". , and such clues can only be excavated by the viewer.

At the beginning, what was captured on camera was the scene after David killed his wife and three stepsons, as well as his complicated state when shaving and disguising. Then show David, who is at ease outside the French Open. Then the film slows down and focuses on the bloody David and Susan family that is about to unfold. Until the Susan family sacrificed two people (ex-husband and Susan's sister) in exchange for peace and escaped danger. Finally, to show real life truthfully, the police came to "collect the corpse". As for David, although he did not commit the crime as he had done before, and won a big victory, he still managed to win and escaped.

From the good point of view, the actors are very seductive, and all the highlights are on the faces of the stars. How is Sheila Ward maintained? Auntie was born in 1956, and it's already over half a hundred years old. Why is she still as beautiful as a dew-dropped begonia flower? This is a compliment from the bottom of my heart. Although she acts as a pawn like John in "The Orphan", she has given the audience a pleasing beauty, so she will not be held accountable for her protein mistakes.

Dylan Walsh also broke through his face full of justice and warmth. The film was put down first if it was not successful, which at least proved his acting strength. Some villains have "I'm a bad guy" written on their faces, and some are more dangerous in their hearts, and Dylan challenged such a role and succeeded.

Penn Badgrey has created a new era of acting career from "Gossip Girl". He has a mixed star face, mouth, forehead and cheeks, showing different feelings from different angles. There are peaks on the side of the ridge, with different heights and heights.” In this film, I have tempered my acting skills. It should be said that I can win the recognition of handsome men and talents, but I doubt the effect of walking around naked in many places. I don’t know if it has attracted fans’ screams. The agent should let him More boys go to the gym to increase the intensity of bodybuilding. In this way, not only the highlights in the swimming pool, but also some muscle shows such as ripped clothes and hand-to-hand combat, and some wild beauty.

Amber Heard, to be honest, doesn't know her well, and doesn't have a deep impression of her past works. But in this drama, her face and figure are her assets. The drama is average, and occasionally you can feel the imprint of the scripted performance, but from the standpoint of supporting roles, it is also normal. Such characters are nothing to worry about, and many are automatically ignored.

Besides, the pictures of the movie are exquisite and attentive, but I always feel that I am missing something of my own. It seems that all the elements have no fresh labels, and I can even feel the perfunctory mentality that I am too lazy to change my mind. It seems that all the elements The mind is all on deliberately creating a terrifying atmosphere, which happens to be the most taboo part of a thriller, deliberately far less contagious than natural generation.

As for the content of the story, it is more like a woven straw mat that is not taut. The rhythm and plot development seem to be derailed, and the paving is not sufficient. Some bridges are not carefully considered, either suddenly, or too taken for granted. Sometimes elements of terror are unconditionally piled up in order to create violence, but because the process is too hasty, there is no depth to ponder.

Maybe this is also the success of a type of film? After all, the whole story can be worn and remembered in one thread. It's just that I won't feel anything after reading it, but I can say it or not, because I am willing to talk, like me.

Say "don't talk to strangers," and to borrow it, say "single mothers raising children on their own, don't just trust ring-wearing, zealous widowers."
