Who can understand their love

This is not a horror movie at all, this is a deep romance movie, the last struggle of declining aristocratic feelings.
Sincere and noble, pure and innocent, in this age when we dare not even show kindness easily, this quality long ago has almost become a kind of ironic term. Today, when the aristocratic qualities have disappeared, perhaps only in ghost stories and gothic novels will idiots who die for love appear.
I believe that Thomas’ sister Lucille loves his younger brother more than anyone else, and far more than Edith, who was fascinated by Thomas’s momentary performance. Lucille is a person with rich and strong inner emotions. She must have been kind when she was a child, until the abnormal family environment and the long-term isolation of the growth environment made her psychologically distorted. I sympathize with this poor woman. When she held her arms around the body of her brother who was stabbed to death and wept in despair, who could experience her great grief and bitterness? In contrast, Edith is nothing more than a simple, superficial and selfish chick. I understand her last line very well: "I will not give up, I will kill you unless you kill me!" This is simply an instinct for death when the last pain cannot be endured. Will Edith die for Thomas? No, she is too normal, too healthy, and too sane. She will live stubbornly, immersed in the American "new" spirit, and she will not die for emotions.
Let's take a look at the quasi-baron played by Dou Sen. The love with my sister during the teenage years, or the feelings that were tempted, must be beautiful at the time no matter what, it is deeply imprinted in the bottom of my heart and is unforgettable. His feelings for Lucille were too profound and complicated, which made him continue to shield and condone Lucille to commit all kinds of tragic murders. On the other hand, Thomas is an attachment personality. We have seen that he likes to make some inventions, has his own workshop, and makes some exquisite small mechanical toys in it. Such people are usually very intelligent and introverted; they are rich in heart and are not good at expressing; He will have a strong attachment to the environment and people he has been familiar with since he was a child. If this is a personality defect, then he could have been in constant contact with life and with different people to gradually improve, but he had no chance to come into contact with real life since he was a child, and then he went to boarding school. After returning from school, he did not integrate with society. Over time, this personality was solidified in this gloomy old house by the only sister who could be contacted-the dominant personality that happened to complement him, and became the deadliest in his personality. Part. Later, the reason why he wanted to get out of the old house several times and end this abnormal life, but was finally persuaded by his sister’s tears to come back, because this part of his personality is too deep-rooted; he is inseparable from his past self. . On the other hand, he really has a true love for his sister Lucille. This love may have guilt for the wrong things committed in his childhood, the care of the remaining brothers and sisters, and the lack of maternal love. The child-like dependence of the alternative also has the love of a lover. But I think that later, before Thomas married Edith or even earlier, this love of love has disappeared, and the only thing left is the kind of love that reverts to the relationship between brothers and sisters; otherwise, he will not treat Edith. Generate real goodwill.
From the external environment, the time set in the novel is the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the nobility had long since fallen. After decades of capital accumulation, the status of emerging capitalists has gradually replaced the nobility and is active in the upper class. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that a declining nobleman like Thomas has only titles in the upper class, but is looked down upon by crude capitalists. Many people will label them, saying that he is a "parasite." The capitalists squeezed the workers, gained huge profits, arrogantly, and turned around to laugh at the dead noble widow. This is really a wonderful painting of worldly customs. Thomas stretched out his hand, and the capitalist grabbed his hand and said, this is the softest hand I have ever held. His efforts will always be labeled and become untrustworthy; people always have to look at him with their inherent eyes and wear colored glasses; his life is busy and he has no ambitions. Perhaps this is the reason why he has a lingering feeling for his sister Lucille and the mansion that has long been in disrepair; because part of him has been in the mansion and was buried here, buried in the past, he There is no vitality anymore; only these familiar things in his youth can prove that he has lived, loved, and received love. It is the purest kind of love, the most desperate and deepest love, not reality. It can be understood by the mind for money and profit; it is not what the fashionable marriage of "money + nobility" can accommodate. I think this is one reason why Thomas was finally stabbed to death by his sister willingly. Perhaps when his consciousness was dead, he blamed himself for Lucille's madness and mental illness.


A long deep night passed again. The morning is coming, and the sky outside can already be seen. The past, no matter how glorious it once was, it seems that an instant is worth eternity, and it is finally passed; when the morning comes, as long as you are still alive, you have to welcome the beginning of a new day. The ancient and beautiful love that is as beautiful as a fairy tale may only flash briefly in a corner of the world in the past, but it will also gradually disappear with changes in personnel, and never see again.

    It was only after the movie started that I found out that it was a ghost movie. I really admired my bravery. The ghosts in the IMAX version were magnified three times. So this is a literary horror film. Many American interior scenes were shot in Toronto. I saw that I went straight to the show. The crew was also a money-saving model. Using Casa Loma to solve the bathroom, hotel, company and other scenes in one building ( ╯▽╰) Add one star to Hidden Meat! !
