Then, with "The Grudge" as the origin, the film characteristics of horror films as special types of films are discussed. Remarks: Deciphering terror is like interpreting pornography, which is, in the final analysis, interpreting human nature; Remarks: Resentment—a deep resentment from the dead, where his curse gathers. Those who touch this resentment will be cursed to death, and then the next resentment and curse will be born, and the cycle will begin again and again. "The Grudge 2" videotape version of Japan's Shimizu Takashi 75 minutes 2000, also known as: "Full Playground Girl Ghosts" 1, brief comment:
To a certain extent, "The Grudge" defines the horror genre within the scope of the film. The audience can intuitively feel the peak of "The Grudge" in horror design, but what is really important is the profound philosophy of horror created by "The Grudge" based on a very high insight into human nature. Compared with Thailand, which created the same strength in terror, and China, which was once a hot topic of "horror themes", we found that Japanese-style terror has the highest respect for "fearful attitude".
The most obvious difference is that Thai-style horror tends to deconstruct people's hearts - suspicion gives rise to evil spirits, Chinese-style horror focuses on social concerns - Liao Zhai, which is based on the theme, while Japanese-style horror directly restores the pure horror element of human nature - what are humans afraid of? ? Why be afraid of it? To put it bluntly, the horror in Japanese horror is not a tool of any kind, expressing terror is for terror, not for politics, religion or culture. Strangely, pornographic and horror themes with the highest sensory sensitivity are the most human-realistic ones created by Japan.
In the final analysis, horror themes only solve one problem, and no one has nothing to fear in life. What are we afraid of? Is it unknown? Is it death? Is it lonely? There is no doubt that fear is a more complex human nature than other modalities. Back to this film. Horror Index, Samsung. The horror index dropped sharply, the horror creation was not as good as the previous work, and the climax scene was full of female ghosts on the playground, which was a little joyful. The scene of Gaya climbing the stairs in the last movie created a classic. There is no such classic horror scene in this part, and there is none at all. It may also be just because of the loss of a little freshness after watching the previous work. 2. Structure: After doing enough homework on the plot of the previous part, there will be no problem in understanding the structure of this part. The first 30 minutes is almost the same as the videotape version of "The Grudge 1", with only partial supplements and a full plot. Opening: Same as the previous work, Teacher Lin visits Saeki's house. The first paragraph of Jia Ye is the same as "The Grudge 1". Jia Ye kills his own male god, Teacher Lin. The second half of the second Hiroko movie, which is about 30 minutes later, basically starts the movie. The plot continues from the top. After the Murakami family died, the haunted house was sold to the real estate agent Tatsuya. Tatsuya took his psychic sister Kyouko to see the haunted house. Kyouko persuaded Tatsu to let the buyer drink it before selling the house. A little rice wine in the house, if the buyer thinks it tastes bad, the house should not be sold. At the same time, Tatsuya found out that his son, Xinzhi, was a little bit wrong recently, so he called his sister, Hiroko, and hoped that she would take a look at Xinzhi. When Xiangzi went to visit Xinzhi, he found that Xinzhi did not know what he saw on the TV, and was overly frightened. At the same time, she saw something strange about a sliding door in her brother's house, so she opened it. Unexpectedly, she saw the image of Saeki Takeo killing Manako Kobayashi from behind the sliding door, so she cursed her upper body and was possessed by Mr. Lin's wife. Tatsuya bought Gaya's house, and at the same time lived in the previous house of Teacher Lin's family, which is also the second haunted house in "The Grudge". (How unlucky Tatsuya is, occupying two haunted houses;) 3rd paragraph Da Ye Da Ye later sold the haunted house to the Beitian couple. The male host is Beitian Yang, and the female host is Beitian Yoshimi. One noon not long after living in the haunted house, Beitian Liangmei shoved her husband Beitian Yang to the ground with a scoop from behind. Just now, Beitian Yang was still complaining that Liangmei's food was not delicious. Therefore, Kita Yoshimi was also cursed at this time. After Kyouko was cursed, Tatsuya's father ordered Tatsuya to go to the haunted house to find a way to break the curse. When Tatsuya goes, he finds that Kita Yoshimi has been cursed. When he was about to leave, he saw Gaya's diary, and was then cursed by Gaya. At the same time, Hiroko, who was cursed by Kobayashi Manako, killed his parents. Only faith is fine. The fourth paragraph Kamio Kamio is a policeman investigating the case of the haunted house. Yoshikawa, a former police officer investigating the case, was cursed after taking a bizarre photo. Kamio found out what was wrong and burned the photo. But in the end, he was killed by Gaya. In the fifth paragraph of the letter, when he was cleaning the classroom with his classmates, he found a girl in white standing on the playground outside the window, and it was raining at the time. For some reason, the girl suddenly crawled in from the window, chasing Nobuyuki. Xinzhi was chased to the corner, when another flour ghost approached, Xinzhi was killed. At this time, the playground was full of flour ghosts. sixth paragraph Saori explores the haunted house young man, without showing his face. 3. Plot summary: This film is much easier to understand than the previous one, and the director didn't even use flashbacks. The plot continues with the previous work, and Tatsuya bought the house and sold it to the Beitian couple. So the Beitian couple were successfully cursed. The original teacher Lin's home has now become the second haunted house. After Tatsuya and his son moved in, together with Tatsuya's younger sister Hiroko (I thought Hiyoko had great powers and could fight against Gaya), they all succeeded. cursed. Kamio, the police officer investigating the matter, is cursed. At the end of the film, a few young people run to the haunted house to find excitement, and the results are self-evident. Slowly, a little on the way to "Midnight Bell". The horror creation effect is not ideal, and it is fatal to the grudge. Because its initial orientation is to focus on horror and light on stories. If there is no horror, no story, then there is really nothing. 4. Classic horror elements and plots: The film also has several horror scenes, but none of them can be regarded as a classic. The climax is the scene full of windows and full of female ghosts in the playground, but to be honest, it is not very scary. It is the king of terror that is better than lacking. Perhaps the most frightening thing is that in the small cubicle behind the sliding door in Teacher Lin's house, in this film, Kyouko saw the image of Saeki Takeo killing Manako Kobayashi, and then she sat in a daze. in that cubicle. Maybe it's because she just sits like that, without a particularly terrifying effect, although it is in a claustrophobic space, there is a certain arrangement of light and shadow. Then the bear child showed half of his face on the floor, frightening Tatsuya's father to death, and Gamako exposed a large image with a slightly yellow tint on the ceiling, frightening the policeman Yoshikawa's wife to death, Gamako passed out from under the chair The sudden appearance scared Kamio to death, but it wasn't particularly scary, but felt a little LOW. 5. Summary of the story and narrative: The plot framework is the same as the previous film, and there are several new characters that have changed the soup without changing the medicine, but the key is that the medicine is not as fierce as before. After watching the previous film, it will make people feel a little bit. tedious. The previous work is already like a castle in the air in terms of story, and this film is not even comparable to the previous work, just picking up the rest of the previous work. However, there was at least one violent thread in the previous work, and there is not even a thread in this part. The only difference from the previous game is the logic of the spread of grudges. The appetite of zombies has changed to ghost possession. Unfortunately, the effect of this change is not as good as the previous game. 6, "The Grudge 1, 2" Video Summary: A masterpiece that explores the form of cinematic horror, the story itself has no bright spots. (It must have benefited from its name, not many viewers will remember exactly what kind of story the videotape version of "The Grudge" tells, but anyone who saw the film in that era will remember that it was ahead of its time. Horror building level.)
