To see what age group a film is suitable for is not just to see whether the plot is scary, but to see how old the main line logic is. For example, Bear Haunt and One Piece are both animated cartoons. Obviously, the age of the main line logic is not the same.

The uncle lived in the house of a deceased wizard with evil thoughts. Almost everything in the house moved. Then he took his nephew who had just become an orphan. The nephew naturally discovered the strangeness, and quickly accepted and clamored to learn magic. The most taboo items are placed in a cabinet in a prominent place in the living room, and the key is next to the lock. The nephew resurrected the evil wizard and dared to admit his mistakes. Because of the spell, no matter how powerful a wizard can solve the problem, it must be a Muggle. In the end, the nephew saved the world.

Well, one by one, first of all, to live in such a house, is it really better than finding him a host family? Talking about family affection is just like rolling your eyes as parents crying and saying they want to die when they do something wrong. Then, the doll will move. How many horror movie settings are this? This kid accepted it too quickly, and immediately eager to learn. This is what happens after parents have just died and their cognition is subverted. Reaction? The position of the cabinet is short of a post on it, let me open it. In the end, the elephant is invisible, loud and loud, and it must be a young man who does not understand martial arts.

It's not that this is not possible, but the main line logic is naive, and some plump plots are needed for decoration. Hollywood has made a lot of fairy tale movies, many of which are also the main logic at a glance, but as long as they can resonate the audience's emotions in the details and expressions, they will also have a great effect. Obviously, the film did not do it, resulting in the movie-watching experience like drinking boiled water, there is no waves, and it is completely through the process.

But I would like to praise the Chinese translation, "The House with a Clock in Its Walls", translated into Tick answer house, really great.

    Children's films, the plot is simple, the story is quite satisfactory, and the imagination is also lacking.

    It's embarrassing for me not to have subtitles.

The House with a Clock in Its Walls quotes

  • [first lines]

    Jonathan Barnavelt: [writing letter] Dear Lewis: Enclosed, please find one bus ticket and two silver dollars for your trip to Michigan. I'm really sorry about the loss of your parents. Your mom was my sister, so that makes you family. And I'll do my best to make you feel right at home. As Einstein said, life is like a bicycle. To stay balanced, you got to keep moving forward. And so will we. I look forward to meeting you. Your Uncle Jonathan. PS Sorry for the stain on the letter. That's chocolate.

  • Jonathan Barnavelt: We don't know where the clock is or what it does, except something horrible. No, we gotta do the responsible thing: lie to the kid.
