I haven't written a movie review for a long time, but when I encounter this kind of movie, the more I chew it, the more flavorful it is, I always arouse myself to write something to express my thoughts. This article may have a lot of spoilers. Please watch the movie first.
The main plot of suspense begins in the repression of the long-shot slowly receding in the title hunting, and then the loss of the child. After the loss of the child, the general American movie treatment is based on the heroism of father and mother, fighting gangsters and fighting gangsters with wisdom. The rescue of the child in the end is very pleasing, but this movie is not like that. It requires people to believe in the system and the legal system. This is why the male protagonist was later shot and locked in a crypt and almost died. In the end, it was expressed that although the police were not helpful at the beginning, they still played a key role in the end. Role, although the male protagonist has always rejected the police and did not believe, but the police still helped them find the child, and finally saved the male protagonist, which is to wake up everyone's trust in the legal system and a blow to American heroism.
"Prisoner" not only refers to the two girls who were kidnapped, but also the parents who lost their children, the old lady's family who lost their children to take revenge on God, the old lady who lost the children watching videotape for healing, the male protagonist who lost the children by unscrupulous means, and the kidnapping. Alex's IQ is only ten years old, he may end up suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome", and the lingering childhood shadow of the snake man, everyone may become a prisoner, unable to get out of his own. maze.
Through the interpretation of specific characters, and slowly analyze some details of the film, the
male protagonist, ,, the male protagonist Jackman played Wolverine, and then asked him to play this brave and resourceful father, but he was almost lucky in the end, he was mentioned in the film The father is the guard of the prison, so he knows how to prevent the crisis at all times, and then the child did not collapse like her mother after the loss. On the one hand, he comforted his wife, on the other hand, he asked his son to take good care of his mother, and he had to find a way to find his daughter, and finally he was imprisoned for her daughter. Alex tortured him, pity the hearts of the world's parents, he became the demon that the old lady said after losing her children, and finally got shot and almost died in the crypt, which is also his punishment.
Policeman,,, Police Jack played Xiaoshou of Brokeback Mountain. In this movie, I gained a lot of weight, and my acting skills are also much better. On Thanksgiving, I went out to eat by myself, and I am not married and have no family. It expresses that American police are also There are conscientious people, dealing with the anxious male protagonist Wolverine, busy investigating the case, acting unhurried to the outside world, but making up his own mind to investigate the case, doing the protagonist as a supporting role. , And several times keenly found clues to solve the case, such as the association of the labyrinth and the discovery of the basement of the priest's house, and finally heard the whistle from the underground,
Alex,,, This is the tragic role, the foreshadowing of the opening film makes Everyone thinks that he is the best suspect in the film, and even everyone is like the timid black parents. Although they sympathize with Alex, they also hope that he can recruit the whereabouts of their daughter. In fact, Alex is the old lady who kidnapped The first child of his, his IQ stayed at ten years old after being drugged, and the old lady was very lonely after losing her child, so she kept Alex by her side, and finally Alex also developed "Stockholm Syndrome". Kidnapping of persecutors creates feelings, later occasional clues during abuse, Maze and he's not Alex, he's the first kid kidnapped, his name is Barry, and it's the police that pulls back to investigate missing children The old lady kept watching the videotape of the missing child. Too pitiful, he is actually kind, maybe he just wanted to take the children for a ride, was discovered by the old lady, and aroused the mentality of challenging God in those days, the smoke bomb of the possible plot of the dog abuse, let us transfer the right The old lady's attention, the simple imitation of the old lady's behavior, the singing is also a foreshadowing of the old lady's suggestion, after so many years of psychological and physical blows, and now he has become the victim of the irrational male protagonist, his pitiful even more Reflects the sins of the old lady.
Snake Raising Man, , Labyrinth Snake Raising Man is also a tragic character. He was kidnapped by an old lady in his early years and finally escaped, and then left an indelible shadow on his mind. Finally, he found that the two children were kidnapped and inspired by the way he kidnapped himself. Out of the shadows of the year, I bought clothes to steal clothes, stained with pig blood, buried mannequins in the yard, raised snakes in boxes, painted mazes in the room, all of which are reconstructions of my childhood shadows, and finally at the police station. When I painted the labyrinth, I really suffered psychological torture and finally committed suicide. This character is also a reversal of the plot, and the third reversal of the old lady at the end.
The old lady,,, the old lady and her husband lost their beloved son to cancer that year, so they had anti-social and anti-human psychology, but the husband finally found out that he had a fight with the old lady and went to the priest to confess, after the priest listened to it Afraid that he would go back and continue to do evil, he tied him and let him die in the basement. Later, he repented and became an alcoholic. The old lady continued to declare war on God, expressing her anti-social feeling that she lost her child. God turned her into a demon. , She also wants to let people taste what it is like to become a demon, to make people lose their beliefs, he heard the male protagonist talking about the labyrinth and guessed that he took Alex away and imprisoned, but he didn't show it. What happened, and finally found out that the male protagonist came back and realized that maybe Alex had said something that he was exposed, and the little black girl escaped, so he held a pistol in his hand and wrapped it in a towel to say that he was scalded, and finally got it. Get started.
In the end, everyone entered a maze of cause and effect. The male protagonist was finally rescued by the survival whistle he gave to his daughter. Alex also accidentally drove the two little girls and was rescued after being abused. The mother and son reunited and became himself Barry, The labyrinth man was tragically unable to get out of the shadow of his childhood and ended himself, the old lady finally deserved to die, and her husband was killed by a priest when he was going to repent in his early years. In short, the film gives the feeling that good and evil always pay off, not no time. did not arrive.
Sometimes I always watch a movie and continue to scrutinize and think about the details, and then pass the time for half a day, believe in the charm of a good movie.
