2131 Chapter 2131

The "New York Times" film review perspective is very interesting and unique. They actually started with the trust between Malcolm and Cole, saw the completely different core ideas of the film, and interpreted the film. More importantly, they insist that the bond of trust between these two men is the key to the entire film's success, which is obviously very different from the "LA Times".

However, the same thing is that the "New York Times" gave a super high evaluation to "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality". The 100-point review is also the only full score among the first batch of film reviews, which obviously put it in the "Exorcist" category. High, this is almost the highest praise for a horror movie, enough to be among the classics.

From the "Los Angeles Times" on the West Coast to the "New York Times" on the East Coast, the two major comprehensive authoritative media have unanimously given an incredible and super high evaluation of "The Sixth Sense of Psychics". Even after "Ghostbusters", The pinnacle of horror movies in the past decade has amazed countless audiences.

More importantly, it's not just these two media, Roger Ebert's film review published in the "Chicago Sun-Times" also expressed similar views, and gave "The Sixth Sense of Psychic" a piece of praise. Voice.

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

Roger used a very wonderful film review title, which does not look like a professional film review at all, but rather a religious or scientific research paper, which makes people laugh and cry. But the content of this article is clearly not religious studies.

"'They are everywhere, walking around like normal people, they can't see each other, they can only see what they want to see.'

There is such a story at the beginning of the official biology textbook of the University of California, Los Angeles: In the current world, there are almost no black swans, only white swans. However, if one person sees a black swan, others cannot deny the existence of the black swan, let alone say "there are only white swans in the world". This is science and the spirit of research.

In this world, besides the living, there are also the dead; apart from the seen, there are also the unseen. But most of the time, most people accept only part of the world.

So people turn a blind eye, refuse to believe and refuse to face certain phenomena in society; so history textbooks are only written by the victors, so that people can only understand one side of history; so Malcolm could not accept what Vincent said at the beginning Truth; so Cole can only draw smiley faces and rainbows because 'they only see what they want to see'.

The reason why light exists is because it is the opposite of darkness; the reason why justice is yearned for is because of the existence of evil. A personality that cannot accept the theory of relativity is incomplete, which means the possibility of splitting. This is an era of contradictions everywhere. However, people try to deny the facts by refusing to admit them.

Malcolm is a child psychiatrist, which sets the tone and theme of the movie. This cannot be regarded as a horror movie in the strict sense, but it is not a purely plot movie, but explores a major psychological Topic: Is there a possibility of self-salvation in the dark side that human beings burst out in the face of fear?

At the beginning of the movie, Malcolm is positive, optimistic and happy. His life is in a perfect state, but he has never been able to face the truth of the world. So when Vincent opened this Pandora's box, The world begins to fall apart.

Malcolm's attempt to help Cole is actually trying to complete self-salvation, because human beings cannot complete self-salvation in the form of individuals. Human beings are always individuals in society, and human beings must get close to each other through contact and communication with other objects. self. In the process, Malcolm began to get closer to the truth. Although he was always skeptical for a while, Cole told the truth.

'You don't believe me, how can you help me? ’ Kerr had the same problem as Malcolm, he couldn’t accept himself because he couldn’t be accepted. Trust is not the beginning of help; trust is help and salvation. However, in modern society, people are so alienated, between mothers and children, between fathers and children, between teachers and students, between children and children, between children and doctors, trust is already a thing. Very difficult.

From the despair of social indifference in "Seven Deadly Sins", to the banter of social darkness in "LA Confidential", to the satire of entertainment to death in "The Truman Show". The cruelty and bloodiness of society have been placed in front of everyone, but it has never been really resolved-even the direction of solution cannot be found. But this time, "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit" gave Hugo's answer.

If you thought 'The Sixth Sense' was just a horror movie about ghosts, then you're only going to see a pure horror movie. But what this movie is talking about is reality-in the real world, many people are individuals who have never been seen, not just marginalized groups, but also each of us.

Live in the heart, not in reality, only see what you want to see, deny and reject what you don't want to see, can't really 'see' the other person, see the objective person, but can't really be with When the other party communicates, it is even more impossible to understand the true thoughts of the other party, as if they are transparent people who do not exist at all.

Just like many families in reality, although they get along intimately every day, they don’t really see each other, communicate with each other, and don’t care about each other. They are just strangers living together under the same roof. That invisible barrier made each other more and more alienated, and finally forgot each other's existence.

So, for each other, is the other party just a "visible but non-existent" ghost? This is the cruel social reality. The whole society is bustling with countless human beings, but each individual becomes more and more lonely, alienated, and unfamiliar. Standing in the center of the intersection, he only sees a group of ghosts with physical bodies. .

In a world of lack of trust, everyone can see only ghosts; only people who are displaced between life and death can discover the true face of the world.

Trust, this is the truth of the world, and it is also the answer given by the "sixth sense". This is science, it is also the spirit of research, and it is the truth.

Hugo Lancaster has shown admirable wisdom in the process of selecting scripts in recent years, but it is his concern for social reality that is consistent throughout. This time, the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" analyzed and explained the cruel society from the unique perspective of yin and yang. On the basis of family affection and love, it unearthed the truth behind the bloody and cruel facts, which made the core idea of ​​the whole movie come true. In order to be further sublimated, people are amazed at Hugo's vision of choosing scripts.

The whole movie has always been permeated with a weird and horrifying atmosphere, but the rhythm seems to be slow, and some emotional details are also slightly overpowered, making the emotions viscous and sensational, highlighting the M-Nate-Sha Ma Lan is immature and young as a fledgling director. However, the wonderful performance of the leading actors has sublimated the overall level of the movie.

As an eleven-year-old child, Hayley Joe Osment's performance is undoubtedly amazing. His delicate and sophisticated performance makes the whole movie complete, and his understanding and interpretation of the performance are far away Far beyond his peers, he is definitely not inferior even in front of other leading actors. It is no exaggeration to say that his performance in this movie is the best among child actors!

It would be a great pity if all eyes were on Hayley—although he deserved the honor, Hugo Lancaster showed a profound and profound performance in this movie. With excellent acting skills, he shouldered the huge core of the whole movie alone, and interpreted the movie's heavy thoughts about life and death, about trust, and about social indifference with his wonderful performance. It is no exaggeration to say that Hai Leigh completes the film, Hugo sublimates it.

The reason why "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is not only excellent, the biggest reason is Hugo - this actor who holds three statuettes in his hand has once again proved that his understanding of the role and interpretation of the core is now Ranked first in the world.

Classic, this is indeed a classic horror movie, which makes people see the glory of "The Exorcist" again. Do you believe in ghosts after watching the movie? "

Roger's comment obviously once again showed a unique and novel perspective, interpreting the "sixth sense of spirituality", which can be said to improve the quality of the film to a higher level. And the evaluation of 95 points can also show Roger's admiration for this movie, and the four-star full score recommendation shows his support for the movie.

Such a situation is not uncommon in such plot-winning works as "The Truman Show" and "LA Confidential", but it is almost impossible for horror movies. Even "The Exorcist" and "The Shining", which are considered classics among the classics, have never been able to reach such heights. This is also the limitation of horror movies-it is difficult to empty space behind the horror and fear There is more leeway to accommodate the frenzy of thought.

This is precisely the most distinctive feature of "The Sixth Sense of the Spirit", and it is also the reason why the leading actors always believe that this is not a horror movie.

Due to Hugo's participation, "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" was the focus of all media attention at the beginning of its release. After the premiere ended, as many as thirty-five media released film reviews in the first place. Such a situation It is reminiscent of the grand occasion of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" when it was released. What is even more commendable is that the first batch of reviews of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" unexpectedly broke out in a frenzy of praise amidst the controversy. The work surpassed the previous summer blockbusters and became the most uncommercial word-of-mouth commercial work this summer. Such a situation is also a situation that everyone did not expect before the film was released.
