After the film was shot and the day the trailer was put on the Internet, Mr. Jin posted two tweets in a row:
"Oh! It's very gorgeous, it's so scary!"
"Oh! This film excites me, and I follow The first time I saw Sam Raimi's "Ghost Playing People", I felt the same."
So I was successfully put on Amway by Mr. Jin, only to find out later that he had technically invested in the film and was in charge of marketing and organizing influencers. Interchange.
The film is called Crimson Peak, and it is a gothic horror film launched by the magical director Guillermo del Toro and Ms. Qiong Yao after their first crossover cooperation in 2015.
The film tells the story of a rich second-generation British beauty who fell in love with a melancholy nobleman, married into a wealthy family, and returned to her husband's old house.
Since the little beauty entered the old house, she has been monitored and restrained by her husband's strange sister everywhere, and all kinds of strange things have happened on her body: the water pipe is bleeding, there is a ghost in the cellar trying to break free, and someone whispers a warning to her... The little beauty found out that her husband had a relationship with her. The incestuous love of her sister also found that several ex-wives were killed. BUT, although the original purpose of the husband's marriage was to snatch property, but at this time he had fallen in love with the little beauty and was willing to help her escape with the spare tire who came to save her, so they started a fight with their sister...
Strange Shuji Gil Mo is a ditch landlord among otaku and a fighter among monster fans. He contributed to the film's magnificent, eerie and suspenseful landscape atmosphere. He once again presented the ingenious and grand scenes in "Hellboy", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Pacific Rim" before, creating a suspenseful and depressing atmosphere, and composes a tense rhythm that the atmosphere does not dare to express.
Aunt Qiong Yao is the chief screenwriter in this film.
She is responsible for compiling the derivation of important plots, the development of emotional dramas, and the hysterical confrontation between the two heroines. As always, Aunt Qiong Yao set the female lead in the film as a high-value, pure and innocent amateur female writer. She was born to perceive the darkness of the world, to communicate with the soul, and to use innocence to influence those who are not innocent. Most importantly, of course, the men in this film love her.
What has made a breakthrough in this film is that in terms of dialogue design, Ms. Qiong Yao made reference to a large number of Shakespeare's classic works, and for the role played by the male No. 1 Hidden, she "measured the kidneys and created" a lot of punchlines to pick up girls. . (Shakespeare Qiong Yao's body can only be recited by Shakespeare, and anyone will laugh.)
In the selection of the four main characters of this film, the two masters in their respective fields showed the amazingly similar tastes of the masters:
——The male protagonist of the whole film is played by Dou Sen, who is handsome, popular, and has both melancholy, cunning, and aristocratic temperament. With his Eton and Cambridge background, he played this charming young aristocratic image with ease;
——The heroine is played by the popular and beautiful girl Mia Wasikoska. She played the neurotic heroine in "Alice in Wonderland" and "Stoke", and played the silly white sweet who walked around the castle in the middle of the night with a candle, I wanted to go up and kick
; Sister Bitchi, played by Hollywood female model Jessica Chastin. We have to sigh: the female villains under Ms. Qiong Yao have always been so powerful, in-depth, and powerful in their acting skills. It really makes people want to join her to win back the hero who has changed his mind and fight silly and sweet;
——The male of the film No. 2 Charlie Hunnam, who starred in TV series such as "Gays and Mortals" in his early years. Although Aunt Qiong Yao is not involved in danmei, she has no way to appreciate Charlie's wonderful performance in this gay film, but judging from her appearance, she agrees with this spare tire candidate.
In terms of plot, Guillermo is good at Spanish magical historical metaphors and grand scenes, but it is very difficult to deal with the theme of love triangle. However, with her rich creative experience and life experience, Ms. Qiong Yao arranged such a love triangle with unrequited love, and choreographed it beautifully.
In terms of character settings, you may disagree with Aunt Qiongyao's settings:
——The heroine is Bai Fumei, why would she dare to live in a house like Silent Hill?
——After she married the male protagonist, every time she woke up, the male protagonist was not around. I wondered if she asked where her husband was?
——Her father died, she actually accepted the death of her father calmly, while the second male was conscientiously investigating the truth...
Of course, in order to highlight the purity and kindness of Bai Fumei, there must be a model worker like sister The same beautiful and attractive female ex-girlfriend with outstanding combat effectiveness - but she is like other Qiong Yao's main rooms, she always engages in intrigue and smooth sailing, and at the critical moment, the heroine's word makes her fall off the chain , was shot back several shovels.
When Uncle Gilmore was filming this film, there was news of a rift with screenwriter Ms. Qiong Yao.
According to legend, the cause of the discord comes from the two people's different views on the love reversal drama: the male protagonist played by Dousen is from a poor aristocratic family. He originally defrauded silly white sweet property in order to realize his dream of inventing an excavator.
According to Ms. Qiong Yao's original setting: the two male and female protagonists should ride horses on the scarlet mountain to watch flowers, watch the stars and the moon, talk about poetry and songs, discuss the philosophy of life, and slowly cultivate feelings to achieve the success of the heroine. But Gilmore, a rude straight man, interrupted Aunt Qiong Yao's romantic setting, and drastically changed the emotional cultivation and incubation scene into a one-night passion scene in a blizzard cabin.
Aunt Qiongyao tried hard to persuade Uncle Gilmore: "People like to watch feelings slowly germinate, grow unknowingly, and gradually reverse under repression. If these foreplays are gone, the female audience will not be happy!"
And the hateful Gil Mo replied contemptuously: "It's okay, I can show them Dousen's ass."
Then, Kuai Shushu really went to lobby Dousen!
So in the second half of the movie theater, everyone was really talking about Shiverson's ass!
No one cares about the trembling, struggling, fragile, sensitive, contradictory heart and the rich and wonderful emotional world that Aunt Qiong Yao created for him!
Aunt Qiong Yao collapsed!
But because she was deeply bound to Gilmore, she was in a dilemma and had no choice but to slack off and pick on clothes. As a result, the heroine Miss Mia, shortly after she married into the manor, degenerated from a delicate Victorian gentleman to a manor woman neuropathy wearing hemp and filial piety.
Therefore, from the second half of the film, everyone should focus on appreciating the atmosphere of the scene:
——Gilmore did not use any special effects, all the shots were shot in real scenes, and the furniture was made of different sizes. In this way, the furniture "gets bigger" when the characters express feelings of vulnerability, fear, and "shrinks" when the characters show strength.
- The terrifying sound in the film comes from the small chimneys scattered throughout the house, which make creepy whimpers when the wind blows in from outside.
- and the three floors of the house, each with a different design. The more you go upstairs, the less you see outsiders. The higher the house goes, the more unsightly it becomes.
Gilmore only uses scenes and props to create an ancient house that breathes and bleeds. Because of the madness of the protagonist in the film, the ancient house is like a slowly decaying life body, releasing a steady stream of fanaticism. .
All in all, Crimson Peak is not an ugly movie.
Just as Gilmore swore to Aunt Qiong Yao before filming started: "It will be the most beautiful film in your artistic career."
- But is this a good-looking film?
Gilmore Shushu quickly glanced at Aunt Qiong Yao who was smiling at the camera: "Oh... well, it's stupid as an ass."
