Recommended guide to autumn and winter suspense films
The comic author Jiang Cao, formerly known as Kang Daoyong, is very KoreanA well-known webcomic artist.
"Super Ability", which was broadcast on Disney+ not long ago, including the one I am going to talk about today has landed in theatersThe horror and suspense movie "Lighting Store" is a very representative hit work of surreal cartoonist Jiang Cao.
The stories written by Jiang Cao can be roughly divided into two series.
One is a heart-warming pure love series, and the other is a suspense series full of thriller and horror atmosphere.
The Illumination Store is the product of the two.
Deep in the dark alley.
A "lighting shop" shines with a starry glow, and the mysterious owner carefully wipes the light bulbs in the shopCustomers from all walks of life shuttle through the store, and his eyes are deep and unmoved.
A young ** and her boyfriend moved into an old apartment near the storeThey were curious about this strange placeThere is still some faint expectation in my heart.
However, as time went on.
The young ** gradually found that everyone he came into contact with here seemed to have unspeakable secrets hidden in his heart.
The grandfather who can never get out of the alley, the elusive woman in black, and the rough man who is cold.
A beautiful mom with nails on the inside of her fingers.
There seems to be some connection between those "people" and the storeThe light bulb emits an eerie glow,It's as if to say something silently.
One night, a storm suddenly hit, and the rain poured down, and the young ** felt an inexplicable uneasinessShe decides to walk into the lighting store and find out the truth behind it.
After watching the manga work "Lighting Store", it did give me a lot of surprises, it is a magical story.
The first half is scary, and the second half is warmThere are horror elements, warmth, and great love in the world.
The plot of the film has been cleverly adapted on the basis of respecting the original work, and the strong emotional impact has been retained.
Although there are many characters on the stage,The clues are complicated, and it takes 10 minutes to foreshadowBreakpoint narratives make it impossible to predict where we're going.
But in the end, the presentation is relatively complete, and the thinking logic is smoothUntil the fog opened, the audience suddenly realized.
The interlocking and close plots continue to advance the audience's appetiteGotta figure out what's going onSet the tone for suspense in the first half of the film.
It wasn't until the second half of the puzzle was revealed that it was a large group story that was linked by a car accident.
Every "ghost" is a "person" who thinks about it day and night.
I haven't read the original,But the film also brought me emotional resonanceI was hit by many horror details, and the warmth of the world and the handling of horror elements made me gain an unexpected experienceIts underlying core is the "concept of life and death" that avoids taboos.
The director of "Lighting Shop" Cai Er uses a delicate and restrained multi-threaded segmented narrative structureIt expresses people's views on life and deathUsing the means of deconstruction and integration, the warmth behind the thriller story is extracted, and the discussion topic of "life and death" is extended, and it is analyzed and interpreted.
How do you tell each other about the death of their loved ones?We tend to use subtle expressions and gradually penetrate and transmit, for fear that the other party will not be able to accept it.
Since ancient times,We are missing an important topic in lifeThat is the value of life and death.
Why are we afraid of death?Because we are afraid of losing "love".It's a long process of suffering.
The "Lighting Store" gave us a beam of light.
There is love and death here, but there are no robots, only the people you love the most in the other worldOur loved ones continue to live in a space that we can't see, and if you believe it, it exists.
I really like the ** scene in the film.
Blue sky and white clouds, endless sea of rape flowers, relatives who are gradually moving away smile and wave goodbye to you.
At this time, don't be shy, say love out loud, at this moment, not goodbye, because we will see each other again.
