The acting skills of this uncle and nephew are going to go against the sky

At the beginning of the movie, India is standing in the tufts of grass, the breeze blows, and the short skirt of broken flowers is flying in the swaying long grass. It is one of the most moving movie scenes I have seen recently. This look is the lens language exclusive to a certain director, which is intoxicating and indescribably beautiful. I thought that with such an opening, the movie would not be too bad anyway. The movie is subverting my perception time and time again, but through one suffocating picture after another.
Although it is a completely different movie from Kind Gold, it gives me almost the same feeling. At the moment when I forget to breathe, my attention is completely attracted by the pictures that have a sense of rhythm from beginning to end. Sister Mia seems to be completely born for this role. At the end of the film, she raises the shotgun and raises the corners of her evil mouth that she can't look directly at. At the beginning of the film, I will always wonder how strong this girl's performance will be, and what is even more surprising is Matthew. Speaking of the hometown after the storm and the leap year, this guy has always been like a vase. I never thought there would be such a thing. Amazing explosive power. A meaningful glance at the funeral begins to realize that this guy isn't easy either. He simply stood there, motionless, his eyes were full of drama, and he had no idea what he was thinking or doing. Nicole's role is a vase, and she does her job perfectly, no more, no less. If it were Jodie Foster, I wonder if I would have played the character a little too much without realizing it.
Before watching it, I was worried about whether the movie would be similar to those Japanese and Korean horror movies. Some scenes required closing my eyes, but during the whole process, I didn't feel like I wanted to jump out of horror at all, but my heart kept hanging. and enjoy the hearty and incisive frame of pictures brought by fast or slow or bustling and noisy or lonely and silent. Even the portrait of the old woman in the fridge is less terrifying because of the previous hints from the actor's facial expressions.
And the soundtrack, it only appears where it should be, and when it does, it's so natural. The uncle and nephew's four-handed play dedicates the most exciting plot in the movie. I don't know where this music is downloaded. The music is mixed with the faint sound of gasping, which together push the movie to a climax.
Before, I felt that being in Hollywood requires not only two strokes, but also the ability to use your two strokes in a new environment. Director Park Chan-wook seems to have picked the most suitable Hollywood script for him and laid it out in his own way. There are many scenes in the movie that are deliberately cleared of all sounds but chilling down the spine, with a strong director's personal touch, which is not something other Hollywood directors can do. Derived from it, I have always felt that Laomouzi's movie scene is the highlight, and this movie will have a similar feeling. But Laomouzi's movies only use a lot of people, and then they are dyed with a bunch of bright colors that blind the eyes at a glance, and it's over. And this movie saves a slightly bland story with wonderful pictures, and the feeling that the heart is shaky and shaky is hard to let go.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful movie, so I decided to retake the kind Jinzi again. Does anyone think that Li Ying'ai and Mia are a bit similar at the end of the two movies?

    Surprisingly, the taste is quite right, the details of the camera editing and soundtrack are all boring, and Mia's final blackening is even more handsome! It just seems that the story of Lolita's blackening and eloping to New York with a crazy murderer and perverted handsome uncle can turn me on. , It's a pity that MG's character design and appearance... uh, the UST in the four-handed shot is really a pity, praise! MG hurry up and pick me up at school in a sports car and strangle me with a belt! [Hey, your G-spot is so weird...

    The shots are so beautiful, the sense of the lens is particularly good, and the cutscenes are imaginative (hair-grass, pencil box-freezer) completely speaking in the language of the lens, which is rich and beautiful. The lighting is in place, and the home is very tasteful. The rhythm is also in line with Lao Pu's usual calm and atmosphere, and it can always bring things that ordinary people can't think of. A certain psychological basis makes the plot self-consistent. The first and last echoes are very good to bring a magical effect. The control of the sound is particularly amazing and all kinds of surprises. The characters are accurate.

Stoker quotes

  • India Stoker: Have you ever seen a picture of yourself, taken when you didn't know you were being photographed, from an angle that you don't usually see when you look in a mirror, and you think: "That's me... that's ALSO me." Do you know what I'm talking about?

    Whip: I think I do. So you are surprised at yourself? Does that mean you are not afraid of being touched anymore?

    India Stoker: Please don't spoil it.

  • Pitts: Hey, Stoker, I'm talkin' to you... Or do you go by Stroker now, because I hear that's what your mom been doing... to your uncle. Have you been getting in on that?
