From novels to dramas to movies, the blueprint for the story of "The Woman in Black" is indeed tried and tested. However, the decline of global horror and thrillers has not caused many ripples. A moderately well-regulated movie can't be said to be disappointing, nor can it pick out highlights. There must be a half of the fans, purely for Daniel Radcliffe. With the help of eight long "Harry Potter", it is well-known by the audience and has grown rapidly. It can be said that the "On-Screen Mitzvah Ceremony" has been successfully completed. As the first work in the "post-Harry Potter" era, he chose to suppress the dark theme and provoke the cause of the pain of losing his wife. It can be seen that he is trying his best to make people forget the image of the previous little boy. Without the magic wand, without the flying broomstick, he became a mortal in a blink of an eye. So in the endless joy of going to the gloomy old house, entering the fire to save people, diving into the swamp to fish for corpses, etc., we deeply realized his dedication. Based on these segments alone, I think there is nothing to mess with the film itself.
The core of the story of "A Woman in Black" is concise and clear, that is, a mother's "deep love, deep hatred". Similar revenge is like a low-key version of "The Grudge". After all, women in black never do it themselves, and the target is only children. It's like the heinous Gaya coconuts, and they have always been willing to refuse. Daniel Radcliffe’s interpretation of Arthur, the weather-beaten appearance, has been immersed in the sadness of losing his beloved wife in the dark British setting that runs through the whole time, swaying and unable to endure all the time, instinctively facing the gods Have faith, or fantasy. In this way, he didn't know what fear was, and he repeatedly searched the haunted house by himself. When the story goes to the house, the chair will shake spontaneously, and the toy will be activated for no reason, there must be no doubt about the "ghost" commonly known by our people. Since then, Arthur has become even more uncontrollable, trying to talk to the "woman in black", seemingly wanting to make friends with "her", and by the way asks if he can give his deceased wife a message and give some daily necessities. What. This method of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and walking towards the tiger mountains" is abused and criticized in today's horror films. The success or failure of horror films lies in this. There must be a reason that can convince the audience to find a smooth and unexpected path for the continuation of horror elements. But now more and more films are just groaning without illness under the guise of "horror".
In fact, the story of "The Woman in Black" is still very deep, and it can be said that it is better than it is now. Take Spain's "Lonely Castle" for example, it has also been introduced in China. It is also based on the theme of maternal love. Without losing the horror and horror, the flashback of the relationship between mother and child will be presented with a lot of pen and ink through interspersed and flashback. Not only will it not appear to be procrastinated, but it will greatly enhance the depth and value of emotions. . On the other hand, in "The Woman in Black", apart from a few silently read letters that can perceive the mother's love for the child, the rest is endless revenge. Does the director think that the repeated phrase "I will never forgive you" can best highlight the madness of the mother's love of her son. Then, this maternal love is really gloomy and not pure and beautiful at all. Without reading the original novel, I thought that adding a few scenes of playing, separating, and missing the mother and the child, and then connecting the child’s death with the indifference of the people in the small town, perhaps emotionally, it would be more predictable. Of course, it will inevitably fall into the stereotypes. But at least it won't be the way it is now, the vengeance will be carried through to the end with no nutrition and paleness.
When "love" becomes a reason for "hate", the society is not harmonious. For this reason, the setting at the end of the domestic version is that the train does not pretend to be father and son, it is very vulgar and harmonious. It's just that the one who helped the old man who fell down would lose money at the slightest amount and imprisonment at the worst. I really don't know which country it is from.
