Re-recognize "Monsters and Ghosts"

I have recently spend the time to watch some "spiritual films", regardless of Taiwan films or foreign films. Frankly: I am as disappointed as I used to because I have not seen any good film receive the big applaudes.

In fact, the quality of a film, in addition to funds, actors, etc.  The most important is the script-- no good script will certainly lead poor movie.  And "spiritual film" or "ghost film", the script is the most important.

Many people think that "spiritual movies" can scare the audience if there is sufficient shocking contents. Assuming only the plot is bizarre and the make-up is  scary then it is sufficient to create the good movie?

In fact, the most critical factor is a "spiritual logic". The "spiritual story" is supposed to be logical as it is. Or it is not good story telling.

1. "Gothika" Miranda Grey (Holly Berry) is an excellent criminal psychologist who works in a prison for a mentally ill prisoner, but Miranda's Marriage and the proud life suddenly completely subverts within a day...

It all started at the beginning of the film Miranda’s psychological trust counseling for “female patient” Chloe (Penelope Cruz). The picture of Chloe is very morbidly telling that she has been raped even in prison. Desperately said to Miranda: "How can you believe in a person who thinks you are a madman?" Yes, Miranda thinks she is a madman. That is to say, this sentence runs through the story. On the stormy night, Miranda met a girl who was covered in flames while driving home. When she woke up, she was already in the psychiatric treatment prison where she worked, and was accused of murdering her husband Doug, whenever Miranda trying to calmly analyze and recall, the weird girl will appear, or guide or prompt, all the people who have been envious of colleagues and friends think she is crazy, no one believes what she said, and at this time she realized that the feeling that Chloe said no trust. Overnight, Miranda, who has a happy life, faces a terrible situation and is on the verge of collapse...

2. " Rise: Blood Hunter " is an American thriller directed by Sebastian Gautis, starring Michael Cheeklis, Lucy Liu, Mike Ches Chris, and Kara Guccino. Released on June 1, 2007. The film mainly tells that journalist CCID Black wakes up and finds that she is lying in the morgue, her body has mutant, no longer belongs to human beings, and all this unfortunately begins with the cult she stumbled upon-- the story of the organization

3. "The Tag-Along 1"

4. "The Tag-Along 2"

5. "The speed train" (Korean): I have not watched.

********************************************

Let me talk about 1. " Gothika ": This is an over-diluted "ghost film". There are very few "ghosts", and there is very little interaction with the protagonist. The concept is very ordinary and the script is very poor.

In the play, the female ghost who was maimed is attached to the heroine and brutally kills her husband with a big axe, so she is considered mentally ill----

The reason is that the female ghost was killed by sexual abuse by the husband and the police chief of a mental hospital.

"Ghost possession" and "ghost revenge" are two different things. "Ghost possession" is not unusual. The shamans in northern China and the Psychic people in the south are typical "ghost possessions" and occasionally ordinary people are " "Ghost possession" became a mentally ill person. However, "ghost revenge" or "ghost possession of third party revenge" has almost nothing. Not only did I not encounter such a case, but I never even heard it.

If that "ghost revenge" or "ghost possession of third party revenge" is possible, then many of the murdered souls should want revenge, and will be attached to a third party for revenge, however, in fact It almost never happened. Otherwise, Taiwan's several major cases will not always become unsolved, such as Yin Qingfeng, Lin Yixiong, Liu Bangyou, Peng Yuru and other blood cases can not break the case.

2. " Rise: Blood Hunter ": The main axis is "vampire", but logically, the "vampire" in the West is not "ghost spirit". It is not appropriate to say "monster" because in later medical research, There is indeed a weird patient who must drink blood from human or animals to alleviate the symptoms. Then it is rumored to be lying in the coffin of the cemetery during the day, and it will be impossible to come out at night to smoke the "ghosts" of human blood. Moreover, since the Western "vampire" is not a "ghost spirit" without a flesh, there must be an image in the mirror and a shadow in the light. (In the movie, the heroine Liu Yuling was bitten and turned into a vampire. She also showed in the mirror that she had no images. This is a very big fallacy.)

There is also a "vampire" in the West that always has two telescopic "canines". Isn't this magic ? How could this happen? In addition, after being sucked up by a vampire, is it like an infectious disease, and the victim itself will become a "vampire"? Of course, it makes no sense.

About 3. " The Tag-Along 1" and 4. " The Tag-Along 2": First of all, the screenwriter is inspired by the "Little Girl in Red" news that was rumored by Taiwan not long ago. However, these stories are derived.  However, it is not clear that the legendary " Mô-sîn-á " and "Ghost" in Taiwan are two different things, so that the whole story is out of logic.

1. " Mô-sîn-á  " should be an unidentified creature with magical ability. It is almost always in the mountains (mountain or suburbs outside the town). There has almost never been a "trap" in an apartment building or campus in the urban life circle. The event of lost.

Many old people and children who have been "trapped" by the " Mô-sîn-á  " in the mountains or in the suburbs, even if the monitor has the last figure of the missing person, they have never photographed the true face of " Mô-sîn-á  ". Only the party is a little confused and chaotic.

Third, " Mô-sîn-á  " may make people illusion, but there has never been or heard about the incident that "Devil God" will be possessed, and there is no incident of being attached to a professional child.

Fourth, the food of " Mô-sîn-á  " is not known to us, but, certainly, they are not predators.They will not eat people, or even bite people, and they will not suck blood. Therefore, some legends are The people who "caught" in the mountains or in the suburbs, whether they were killed or alive, were found to have no bitten wounds.

5. " Mô-sîn-á  " may make people illusion, but it has nothing to do with the "heart" of the party.

Sixth, " Mô-sîn-á  " has nothing to do with "Baby Spirits (Little Devils)", because there is no "baby soul" at all, so the fetus of abortion will not become " Mô-sîn-á  ".

Seventh, human death can not be resurrected, it is impossible to use any magical witchcraft, and it will not become a monster or " Mô-sîn-á  ". Of course, it is even more impossible to kill his own biological mother (Gao Junjun's final ending).

Eight, "Little Girl in Red" was finally convinced by her sister's affection. Finally she put down hatred and no longer "harmed people." If she was so rash, she could not use her affection and persuade her. The end is really sloppy.

Nine, in the end, the "Tiger Lord" war " Mô-sîn-á  " group is simply a mess, and those " Mô-sîn-á " are simply copies alike in the Western film " The Mummy Returns 2".

Moreover, " Tiger Lord " was not as powerful as  a "Little Red Girl"and need to struggle for a long time;  it is not as powerful as the " Little Red Girl " waving then destroy the others.

As for the Korean film 5. "The speed train", I only looked at the beginning and didn't want to watch it. Because the recent popular "Zombies" in the East and the West, it is like being bitten into a contagious and also becoming a "Zombie." The world is infected, in fact, is there such a horrible thing? Like the Western film "Zombie Besieged City" and so on, it can only be said that some of the writers have very poor writing skill, and this will be a spoof.
