Chapter 2127 Chapter 2127
No one doubts that the script of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" must have its own characteristics, otherwise it would be impossible for Hugo to nod and agree to appear in this work. But even so, when Hugo, Toni Colette, Kate Beckinsale, Haley Joel Osment and other leading actors all thought, "This is not a horror movie", all reporters still said Surprised.
Originally thought that the premiere was just a routine, so many reporters came to the scene because of the possibility of "Hugo and Charlize" walking on the red carpet hand in hand, so when they saw this Hollywood golden couple walking hand in hand On the red carpet, most of the reporters had already completed their work, and they were more dispensable for the subsequent development of the movie—if it wasn’t for Hugo’s face, many media would have left halfway— Of course, there's also the bonus of staying and seeing the jokes of this horror movie.
But now things are a little strange. Toni has repeatedly emphasized, "This is a movie about family affection, not a horror movie at all." The categorical attitude made the reporters confused: so what happened? thing? Could it be the crew's public relations strategy? In order to attract more audiences who "refuse to go to the cinema because it is a horror movie" to let go of their stereotypes? But this doesn't make sense, because "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit" is a horror movie, which is officially certified by Bowei Films!
After the premiere was over, everyone started to face Zhong. The National Theater swarmed in. The audience and reporters who got the tickets for the premiere couldn’t wait to see it, and those who regretted passing by the premiere were still reluctant to leave, hoping to wait at the door. For a while, I learned about the situation of the movie from the audience.
Nicholas found Hugo in a circle - he was signing autographs for a group of fanatical fans. From those few words, it can be known that these are fans of Glory to Death, and they all began to miss the band, and asked Glory to death When will Dead's fourth album be released. Hugo talked with everyone very patiently, and the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.
After waiting until the opening time of the premiere was approaching, Hugo said goodbye and left, and Nicholas hurriedly followed. Hugo glanced at him, "Are you here to get me and Charlize exclusive?"
Nicholas looked at Hugo helplessly, "If it is, are you willing to give it?" Hugo smiled and said nothing, Nicholas was very clear about the answer, in fact, Hugo and Charlize attended the premiere together today, It was already the maximum limit, and it was a huge surprise, so Nicholas couldn't ask for more, "No, I'm here to ask you, what's going on with this movie?"
Hugo was a little surprised, and cast a surprised look at Nicholas, "I'm serious, why did you accept this script? And you keep saying that this is not a horror movie, what's going on?" Nicholas went further explained.
Hugo thought about it seriously, "Let's put it this way, the horror films that appeared in the second half of the 1980s were more 'scary' at the beginning, but the horror films before that were more about psychological horror and darkness, The shock is just an incidental effect." Nicholas nodded, "For example, 'The Shining', for example, 'The Exorcist'." This answer made Hugo nod again and again, showing a smile, "Strictly speaking, 'Spiritual' 'The Sixth Sense' is more of a retro horror movie, and horror is just a medium to convey different stories."
Hugo's answer was very simple, but very clear, which made Nicholas suddenly wake up. If it was a work like "The Shining", then it would be as if Jack Nicholson had been achieved in the first place, and Hugo's joining would not seem shocking.
Suddenly, Hugo seemed to think of something again, and said seriously, "Remember, you must be sure, have you read it carefully?"
Before Nicholas could react, he saw Hugo leave quickly, and then saw Hugo join the crew and walked quickly towards the screening hall. Nicholas just ran two steps forward, he could only give up, and chewed carefully, but he still didn't have any clue. What is "you have to be sure, have you watched it carefully?" Could it be that he didn't watch enough movies? Are you careful?
Different from ordinary audiences, as film critics and professional journalists, they must watch movies seriously, so as to ensure that the articles they write have something to say, rather than making up random things. Therefore, even if it is a popcorn movie, even if it is a big bad movie, they must watch it carefully. So, why did Hugo explain this specifically? And it's a horror movie!
Is it because there are details like "The Shining" piled up in the movie? Or is there a tribute to "The Shining" in the movie? God, if you watch a horror movie with all your heart, you will probably be twice as frightened... Is this just Hugo's prank?
Nicholas felt that his mind was full of question marks, even though he knew it was a trap, he could only jump into it with a heavy heart.
It has to be said that "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit" filled Nicholas with countless question marks from the beginning - at the same time, he also felt a deep chill. When he saw Leonardo shooting at Hugo, Nicholas was so frightened that he almost went out of his mind. The chair jumped up: If the character played by Hugo dies at the beginning, this is the biggest wobble of the whole movie-everyone is tricked by the "starring Hugo" gimmick, and it ends when Hugo comes out , then what's so good about this movie.
Fortunately, Malcolm, played by Hugo, was saved next, which made Nicholas breathe a sigh of relief, and the audience in the entire movie theater was as surprised as him.
Then the story unfolded slowly. To Nicholas' surprise, the real protagonists of the movie were actually Hugo and Haley. As we all know, there is a joke circulating in Hollywood, "Never work with children and animals", because children and animals are completely uncontrollable, and there are often too many accidents during the shooting process, resulting in unknown quality of the finished film—or Insanely good, or a disaster.
But "The Sixth Sense" boldly put Haili in front of Hugo - even an ordinary actor would have weak feet standing in front of Hugo, let alone a child with almost no acting experience . This is no different from suicide.
However, Nicholas was surprised because in the first 30 minutes of the movie, Hailey's performance was simple but delicate, and he actually had a shocking power, even in front of Hugo, he was not inferior. This can definitely be said to be a huge surprise.
As far as the advancement of the movie itself is concerned, it is indeed not like a horror movie. Thirty minutes have passed without ghosts or blood. It is just a normal story. It tells the story of Cole who lives with his mother, and Malcolm He is a psychiatrist who has major problems with his wife, but he has to focus all his energy on helping Cole out of the woods.
Nicholas can see why all the actors have repeatedly emphasized that this is not a horror movie. Although the movie has an eerie horror atmosphere, it seems that something is always happening, but it makes people unable to understand what happened, but it is still far from a "horror movie", not even a psychological thriller.
But... as far as the story itself is concerned, there is not much new idea. It is just a simple movie to help children get out of their psychological difficulties. This made Nicholas a little disappointed, but he still had to pull himself together, because of what Hugo said, "Have you looked carefully?"
Until halfway through the movie, looking at Cole's eyes full of tears, he whispered in a trembling voice, "I can see dead people." The unspeakable fear instantly made Nicholas shiver, There was no way to stop. One after another, he watched the slow and mysterious atmosphere of Malcolm and Cole flowing slowly on the big screen. There was no explanation, and everything was explained in an instant, which made Nicholas' heart stop beating.
The entire cinema fell into a deathly silence, everyone held their breath and couldn't move at all. Until this moment, the veil of terror of the "sixth spiritual sense" was slowly lifted.
Although Malcolm thinks that Cole is hallucinating, the audience in the movie theater knows that things are definitely not that simple. Sure enough, the next development of the plot was creepy, and the invisible but still existing ghosts filled the whole theater with a bone-deep coldness—you must know that it is midsummer at this time in August, but it is as cold as December Canada, the kind of biting cold makes the heart shrink into a ball.
Malcolm never believed Cole's words, and at the same time he found himself getting further and further away from his wife, and he even suspected that his wife was having an affair, which made him completely absent-minded. But his distrust disappointed Cole, watching Cole pleading with tears in his eyes, "If you don't believe me, how can you help me?" This deeply moved Malcolm.
Malcolm remembered Vincent's situation at the time, almost exactly the same as Cole, so he began to search for the tapes of his previous conversations with Vincent, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a soft whispering sound in the tapes, which was a piece of Spanish, He kept calling for help, "Please save me, save me, I don't want to see God." This made Malcolm understand everything immediately.
Nicholas just felt all the hairs on his back stand on end, because he also understood the whole thing—Vincent and Cole could see ghosts, but no one could understand them, so Vincent was finally forced to Crazy, chose self-knowledge, and now Cole is facing the same situation.
Nicholas didn't even realize that his eye sockets were already wet. He was completely moved by Cole, completely shocked by Malcolm, and completely substituted into the whole story.
