Peter Pan the Dark

Absolutely the best of a horror movie.

Because of the low familiarity and recognition of European and American faces, I always feel that I am watching game guides when I watch European and American horror movies. It basically perfectly avoids this natural sense of distance, although the clown's mouth I'm still a bit out of touch with some of the shaping, but it's not a bug, it's just a difference in cultural acceptance.

The clown is probably the big bad wolf in European and American culture. We will be eaten by the big bad wolf if we were disobedient when we were young. The childhood memories of growing up are always beautiful and memorable, and it becomes ridiculous to talk about stories similar to the big bad wolf. In fact, when I was young, there were always many inexplicable things that acted as childhood shadows, and the clown It is this fear that exists. This fear is unique to children, so Dad can't see the blood in the bathroom, but is it really good to not see? That dad didn't impress me at all. Because fear and fantasy coexist, and in childhood fantasy, it is full of dreams of all kinds of colorful bubbles, those carefree dreams that I miss when I grow up. When the fear was defeated, something must have disappeared in the heart.

There are also parents of children. Many parents have more or less problems in education and emotion. The family of origin is also the source of fear for some children. Everything in the movie is exaggerated, so it looks exaggerated and scary, absurd and seems to have some causal connection. He killed his father, and she also killed his father. He contradicted his mother, who had never resisted. The psychological distortion brought by the fear from the original family was magnified to such an unmanageable point by the art of film. Whether it is wrong or not, and who is wrong, is another complicated question thrown by the director.

In the end, when the clown slumped on the ground and died, I was actually quite sad, because all of a sudden I saw Peter Pan, the one who brought all the children to play with, but when the child was going to die, he killed him mercilessly. Peter Pan of the Dead Child. This Peter Pan has always been a person in a fairy tale, probably because a sentence in the book cannot make people remember that he is so cruel, only remember the innocent island he created. The Joker is a darkened Peter Pan, living with childhood and feeding on fear. But when the child grows up and no longer fears to pick up the butcher's knife, childhood is also a mess. After all, in addition to being beautiful, childhood will never come back, and those inexplicable fears that only belong to childhood will never come back. What I lost when I grew up was not only what I didn't want to face, but also what I couldn't bear, the whole childhood that I left.

    Compared with the old version, it has done a lot of plot extension and audio-visual enrichment, which greatly enhances the level of blood and fright when the clown/fear is haunting. There are many tributes to old horror films such as Nightmare Street. In essence, it is still a children's fantasy adventure film, but it just happens to have horror elements, so there is no need to criticize the plot is low and sensational. The horror film of the 1980s Youth League should be like this, and its innocence and emotion are its perfect "resurrection".

    The horror version walks with me. As a movie in which the protagonist is a child, this movie is too cruel and horrible, father killing, girl love, school bullying, twisted parent-child relationship, racial issues, obscure sexual enlightenment and first love , The friendship of the children. The creator put a lot of material in it, but the talk is unstable and startling.
