Among the first K-pop goddesses, Park Shin-hye was among the top three most famous. In 2009, "Originally a Beautiful Man" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in 2013, the "Inheritors" starred in the whole network. Subsequently, he has successively starred in many works such as "Pinocchio" and "Memories of the Alhambra", which have achieved enthusiastic responses.
Park Shin-hye is beautiful, and the characters she plays are either simple and cute or have a variety of styles, which has gained many fans. But at the same time, Park Shin-hye's stylized acting skills have also been criticized by the audience. In particular, the crying scene in "Memories of the Alhambra" has almost no sense of substitution.
Fortunately, Park Shin-hye is not an actor who refuses to criticize—
After filming "Memories of the Alhambra" in 2018, he closed off to study acting skills, and did not take on new plays for almost a year.
Two years later, he returned with the thriller film "Telephone", and his face value acting skills were both online, bringing an extremely shocking visual feast to the audience.
In the story, there are two time and space, 1999 and 2019.
The heroine Shu-yeon (Park Shin-hye) lives with her cancer-stricken mother in 2019, and because of her mother's grief, Shu-yeon returns to the home where she once lived but is now abandoned, wanting to get some warm memories of the family living together, and unexpectedly receives a call from 1999 in the process.
On the other end of the phone, it was the female number two Yingshu.
Young-sook is born with a sociopathic personality, so she is imprisoned at home by her adoptive mother, but Shu-yeon does not know it at this time. The two become friends over and over the course of repeated phone calls, sharing funny and happy things in their lives.
In order to thank Shu-yeon for playing idol songs to herself over the phone, Young-sook ventures out of the room and saves the life of Shu-yeon's father, who should have died in 1999. The butterfly effect was born, and Shuyan in 2019 regained her father.
In return, Shu-yeon tells Young-sook about the murder of her adoptive mother in 1999. Thinking that it was to save the life of a friend, I did not know that it was to open Pandora's box. Because of saving Young-sook, the future has produced various tragic butterfly effects such as Shuyan's father being killed and her mother in danger...
"Telephone" gives the audience a particularly interesting feeling -
In the first half, the two heroines save each other's lives, and the atmosphere is like the mutual redemption between the old criminal police and the young criminal police in "The Signal", although it is old-fashioned, but it is really warm.
But don't forget, the film is positioned as a thriller, and the female number two Yingshu is set as a perverted killer.
After a brief period of warmth, the drama takes a sharp turn, and the phone that can cross time and space is no longer a rescue tool, but a Pandora's box key to open the serial murder case.
ShuYan and Young-sook also changed from a friend relationship to a confrontational relationship, the former desperately trying to prevent the murder, the latter gloomy and bloodthirsty killing without blinking, and the dramatic conflict became strong.
The acting skills of Park Shin-hye and Jeon Jong-seok, and the chilling horror atmosphere in the story, are the two most important reasons why the film "Telephone" can get 8.0 points.
Compared with the previous Korean drama-style acting skills, Park Shin-hye has made significant progress. When he got his father and lost his father again, he was so sad that he tore his lungs, and the crying made the audience can't help but cry; when he learned that in 1999, when he was a child in time and space, he was tortured and burned by Yingshu with boiling water, and he rolled on the ground in pain, even after 20 years, the audience could feel the pain and despair of Xiao Shuyan being burned.
On the other side, there is Yingshu, who is full of neuroticism.
This role is played by Quan Zhongrui, who starred in "Burning", and the acting skills are sophisticated to control every crazy performance: carelessness when killing, clean and neat when cleaning up blood, mania because Shuyan refuses to answer the phone, completely crazy.
At the same time as the personal drama is wonderful, the opponent scenes of the two actresses are also very interesting.
Abandoning the solidified impression that beautiful women cannot be scolded in previous film and television works, words such as Xiba are one after another, and the hunting scene after meeting in time and space in 2019 is also high-energy throughout the whole process. To a large extent, it is the acting skills of the two actresses that provoke the whole story.
There are two important logics in the film, namely, that past actions change the future, and that past and future events are synchronized. This is what we often call the butterfly effect.
Shuyan saves Yingshu, who should have died, indirectly causing Yingshu's deep desire to kill to be awakened and threatening the safety of Shuyan's parents, which is the main line of the whole story.
As far as shuyan and Yingshu cat and mouse games are concerned, and the process of Shuyan's counter-killing, the logic is somewhat inappropriate, and many timelines cannot form a closed loop. At the same time, Shu-yeon's IQ is also somewhat off-line, and she should not continue to ask If Young-sook was a murderer when the newspaper had already indicated that Young-sook was a murderer.
But the magic of "Telephone" is that the thrilling atmosphere is just right to make up for the lack of logic and human design, and the whole high-energy reversal is one after another, so that the audience does not have time to think about these in the process of watching the movie.
—— For the first time, Shuyan's father was resurrected.
- The second time, Young-sook's mother is killed by Young-sook.
- The third time, Shuyan learns that she has saved the killer.
The light and shadow in the picture are dark, and the scene of the house where Shuyan and the telephone are located is constantly changing, from a house full of fireworks to a place where the corpses are hidden, which is creepy to see.
In 1999, Young-sook walked towards Xiao Shuyan covered in blood, and in 2019, Shu-yeon carefully searched for a phone in the room where Young-sook lived, and Young-sook could appear behind Shu-yeon at any time...
Thriller music and close-ups of the perverted killer's expression push the story to a climax a little bit, and people can't stop watching it.
In addition, the editing method of "Telephone" is also worth playing, parallel editing, on the one hand, the dilemma that Xiao Shuyan is encountering in 1999, on the other hand, the thrill of trying to kill Yingshu in 2019, and the two-line parallel will make the story more exciting.
Under the wonderful acting skills of the two actresses, the creation of a thrilling atmosphere, and the clean and neat editing method, the small number of bugs and human deviations in "Telephone" can be skipped. After all, this kind of thriller movie, a cool sense of viewing experience is the most important ~
