Genre characteristics of Polanski's apartment thriller

Doris 2021-12-22 08:01:12

Apartment thrillers, looking at "Cold-Blooded Horror", "Weird Tenant", and "Rosemary's Baby" will find that these three-step films are very similar in some respects. The protagonist is on the edge of depression, restlessness, and nervousness, and will doubt the people around her. For the protagonist, she (he) seems to be living in a huge trap woven by everyone around her, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t Break free. The protagonist will inexplicably fall into a nightmare or have hallucinations. The content of his dreams and hallucinations has a strong surreal color. There are many arms stretched out from the wall, the ground suddenly split, the person who accidentally breaks in, the hideous face, the face of the devil. ·· ···

    As a schizophrenic type of movie, there is no need for such a slow pace. The comparison of the sound effects alone cannot make the atmosphere of the movie abrupt. It is a bit like a running account. Even if all the details are explained clearly, there is no way to make readers feel interesting. I was a bit uninterrupted and insisted on this 105 minutes, black and white, slow ~ I was a little tired of watching ~ Personally think Polanski's works are better in the later period~

    Always a great director. I admit that when I watched it, the atmosphere was so tense and depressing, it was weird. ps: Why do we, under countless pressures during the day, always like to find something more depressing than life to make ourselves more depressed after work~ Hahaha. I am such a person, let the depression come more violently~~
