Spanish horror movies, with excellent plots and full of human factors, often give people a refreshing and unique feeling, or have a light, religious color, or have a light, historical foreshadowing, in short, the director skillfully integrates them into the film. in the film.
It is different from the chills of Japanese and Korean horror movies, and it is also different from the flesh-and-blood sensory stimulation of European and American horror movies. It has delicate techniques, and contains philosophical principles in literature and art. This kind of gentle horror, I am afraid, will make the horror faded because of this.
It's just that such a movie will have a low rating. It is precisely because of its literary and artistic characteristics that it can only satisfy the taste of a small number of audiences, such as movie-watching geeks like me. Sleepy, I enjoy the film's soothing rhythms, delicate techniques, and simple emotions.
Late at night, a man was in a gas station, refueling, extremely slow rhythm, gentle appearance, lonely eyes. The white snow, the small house on the snow-capped mountain, the place to escape from reality, is also the place where the male protagonist dissects the corpse. Maybe the hero is perverted because of loneliness, despair because of loneliness, the snow is white, the reality is pale, and the dream is also white, everything makes him very lonely.
If it was because of carnal desire that he killed Alexandra and other women, then his later sister Nina gave up his idea because of his true love. The plot is very simple, no reversal, no suspense, so I don’t have to An introduction. After Nina knew the truth, she chose to commit suicide, but he survived. In the end, he ended up being so lonely. I think he may be alone forever, forever.
At the end, there is a parade on the street that seems to be a religious festival, and the faint religious color ripples again. What does this imply? If I'm not mistaken, this is the religious penance ritual of Holy Week in Spain, and I will give a brief introduction to it: black symbolizes death, and the night is long; penitents, carrying a Jesus statue to participate in the solemn night procession, out of respect Traditionally, many fraternities carry parade candles, and some even walk barefoot in heavy robes. Although at first glance, the whole procession may seem a bit mysterious, Holy Week is indeed a splendid celebration of raw emotion. The procession of the various fraternities is from the parish church to the cathedral and back again, each carrying its own statue of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, as well as a colorful misterio biblical painting and a paso multicolored pontoon.
The final religious ceremony hints that the director's thoughts on the ending are positive, which also adds a lot to the film. Depressed loneliness is like a dark night. At the end of the film, we see a faint candlelight, the lens has a close-up of the candlelight, the candlelight trembling in the breeze and the candlelight that is not extinguished. People who don't know him think that he will be more perverted because of loneliness, and he will be perverted for life. In fact, he is repenting, alone, in the room, and repenting with sadness. I would like to believe that he will be converted because of Nina.
In fact, the director does not need to explain many things so clearly to the audience. A movie is like a famous painting. Those who understand it, watch it as a feeling, instead of having to give a million reasons to prove it is good; Of course, it's confusing and boring.
Horror movies are in a 5-6 area. There are often some movies that make you feel very good. They are not good works, but they must not be called bad movies. On the contrary, they make people who understand it seem to enjoy it. work. Then this film is a good film in my opinion, and I don't need a reason, I feel it very much.
