Ventilators, puppets, and beheaded

Beware the stare of Marry Shaw
She had no children only dolls...

A ventriloquist named Marry Shaw dedicated his life to the career of ventriloquism. Out of love for her career, she always regards to make a perfect doll as her ultimate goal, and even, at the end of her life, she asks the funeral master to turn herself into a puppet.

The love for puppets makes Ms. Shaw paranoid and extreme. She firmly believes that her puppets have a soul. Therefore, when a little boy clamored that the puppet was fake in front of everyone, and the puppet’s voice came from Shaw’s mouth, she did her best to suppress her anger, making the performance more colorful and winning more audiences. Applause. But she still did not forget to leave a sentence to the little boy viciously: Now who's the dummy?

The hapless child disappeared after a few days, and no one was born or a corpse was seen. What enemies can a child have? The villagers had to focus their attention on Marry Shaw, the ventricular technician, because the missing child only offended her. It's too miserable, too miserable. They forced Marry Shaw to scream and took the opportunity to cut off her tongue. What does this mean for someone who makes a living by talking? Well, Bibi look, who is more ruthless. Before dying, Marry Shaw asked to be made into puppets. Wait and see, now puppets are also the masters with souls. We will retaliate...

revenge. It is another typical revenge movie. The plot seems old-fashioned, but if you change yourself to the person in the film, you are still at a loss and don't know what to do. Because no matter what you do is counterproductive, no matter what, you can't escape the unfortunate fate, unless everyone is dead! Facts have proved that even this may not be a hundred. Once the relationship between people encounters revenge, there will be no standards for good and evil, right and wrong. So revenge is always an inexplicable mess. So, even though there are thousands of revenge films, the directors are still enthusiastic about it.

It's just that messy.
Decades later, the hapless child who angered Marry Shaw was found in the old theater by his brother's child Jimmy. He has been made into a puppet... Obviously, this is Marry Shaw's masterpiece. In this way, the villagers were looking for Marry Shaw for revenge. But Marry Shaw is not convinced: I have worked so hard to act for you all my life. If you don’t educate your children well, even a brat can prevent me from coming to stage in public. Tell me, this kind of blasphemous art and disrespect for the artist. Should I be punished? Uh. . In this way, Marry Shaw seemed to make sense to punish the boy. But the boy was also not convinced: Why didn't you let me tell the truth? Obviously the puppet can't speak, she is the double acting. Everyone knows it, just don't say it. I will be sanctioned if I speak out? Is there any reason? I, I, we have encountered the new outfits of the emperor in the new era! I am a sad little girl who tells the truth. Yes, there are the emperor’s new outfits in ancient times, and Marry Shaw’s puppets today. Khan, the little boy who was made into a puppet is actually right. Then who was wrong to cause such a series of endless bloodshed? At this time, Jimmy jumped out: You are just a bunch of bastards! My wife and I live well in the city. How do you toss and toss in the country? What kind of puppets are you sending us? As a result, my family was ruined, my wife died, and my son died in his wife’s belly. I am the worst! I don’t know if it’s an uncle or an uncle. My dad was not an adult when he committed the crime! I don't know where it is yet! Why did you get me involved? The police officer who followed Jimmy to the country wasn't happy: Damn! You are the worst! Where did you put me the worst? I have nothing to do with your village. What’s even more annoying is that I’m solving a case and serving the people, because I screamed in Marry Shaw’s neighbourhood, and I was cut off my tongue and died. It has to be as miserable as you guys, I'm really miserable! . . . .

In this way, as long as we analyze it carefully, we will find that this kind of revenge film will never have real right or wrong, nor will there be a perfect solution. Every audience has a kind of hope to appreciate this kind of film, hoping that the director can explain a proper way to solve this problem. However, this kind of hope is often smashed at the last moment of the film, and the obsessive audience still Unswervingly maintaining high enthusiasm for the solution of revenge, and looking forward to the next unknown ending with joy, the directors also enthusiastically create one after another unimaginable and horrible cutscene for the same ending.

I have been immersed in horror films for many years, and I have no hope of revenge anymore. In my opinion, once you encounter revenge, the only way is to wait for death. Revenge is an incurable disease, no matter how you toss, the ending is one word: death. For those resentful ghosts who are determined to retaliate, they will never have anything to talk about with you. Be smarter and self-determined earlier, and be careful when you are ignorant and let you die. This is doomed to the fate of revenge films.

But why do you recommend "Dead Silence" today that is still about revenge for everyone? I really think the atmosphere in the film and the puppets themselves are still attractive. It's cool alone, not as cool as the others. Since everyone is cool, it's really cool. There are always people on the version asking you to recommend horror movies, so I simply pushed this one! The fog-shrouded town, you can say that it is a turtle, but you can't deny its power to hit your numb mind in modern society-although it is old-fashioned, it is full of energy at first sight; broken walls, abandoned theaters, ancient houses, can it be Isn’t it a source of primitive fear deep in your heart? Besides, that puppet is too kechen and evil! If anyone gave me such an ugly thing, I threw it away immediately, and dare to stay? The aesthetics of the East and the West are really far apart... In the film, the hero Jimmy insists on leaving the puppet, and his wife Lisa treats it as a baby. Seeing it, he can think of his son, orz. . Imagine if you or your wife gave birth to a baby like this... it's better to hit the head to death. Foreigners who dare to love such puppets are treated as ordinary traditional toys, like we look at shadow puppets and facial makeup-maybe foreigners look at shadow puppets and facial makeup and feel evil (I’m afraid, I always think facial makeup is evil. ) The so-called cultural shock, let’s have a taste :)
