A Brief Comment on "The Grudge 1"

Sincere 2022-03-26 09:01:09

Watching horror movies is also a little old, but it is more like childhood fun and entertainment, not something to enjoy. Only recently have I discovered that horror movies can be enjoyed. Some people may not believe that terror is not scary? Yes, terror makes people feel uneasy, but terror has its unique atmosphere and cultural meaning. In short, terror is also a kind of culture. The unique and profound meaning of horror arouses infinite associations, and horror itself has gorgeous visuals and fascinating effects, and sometimes the inspiration of horror comes from life. For example, in the movie "The Grudge 1", there are many terrifying elements drawn from life, so I won't give an example here, so as not to affect the horror effect. Therefore, horror can be in all aspects, and it also includes many creators' thoughts on life, and there is room for aftertaste after watching it (although I rarely look back on horror movies, but I think one of the charms of horror lies in the aftertaste. ) Some people are frightened. I was never scared when I first started watching a horror movie, but in recent years I realized that watching a horror movie requires repeated aftertaste. Some things I didn’t feel at the time, you will find some after watching it The plot also recurs in your life, it has an impact on your life, and only when you actually experience it can you fully understand the charm of horror. The plot of The Grudge is relatively simple and straight, but each part has an intersection, uncovering the mystery and advancing the horror layer by layer in overlap and progression. The director's technique is superb, leaving no traces and being novel and unique, both close to life and higher than life. Move a knife, and corpses are all over the place. Maybe this is the charm of horror movies. You don't need to kill one soldier. You have already disarmed and surrendered. Horror is an emotion in your heart. Only by exploring your heart can you better understand horror. Never before in The Grudge 1 had the horror been so close, ubiquitous and vanished.

    I rewatched it again at 3x speed, and it feels more scary than when I was a child... The story has no beginning or end, and its integrity is much worse than "Midnight Bell". It's really unfriendly at first glance. Hahahaha

    It turns out that I didn't watch "The Grudge" until today. It was "The Grudge Video 1" that scared me to death 19 years ago. ...I understand why so many people say they don't understand, the director has such a bad taste, because these are almost two completely different movies. ... The timeline is not only disrupted, but also time-travel, and there seems to be something that cannot be justified. If you don't know the background, no one can understand it, and even if Xiaolin doesn't give the clue, you have no way of knowing why her husband wanted to kill Jia Ye. ... In the end, a lot of flashbacks in the heroine's thinking were all her own fault. I thought she was Gaya, but I didn't expect to be killed by Goong in an instant. what you want to say? So there are too many contradictions in this film. ... As for whether it's scary, the movie version of "The Grudge" isn't really scary. It's a far cry from the videotape version.
