This woman is the heroine, an avid fan of the writer's male protagonist, who has a deep obsession with the characters in the work.
She placed the badly injured writer in her home and treated him herself, during which she took good care of him and provided the typewriter and paper needed for writing, but her obsession with the work reached the point where she could not bear the story that would go mad if it did not develop according to her wishes.
The writer writes according to his own ideas, no longer considering the market's norms, so the story is wonderful, unexpected, and tragic, and in such a plot, the heroine collapses, she is furious, and she murders the writer to force the writer to burn the story that has been written, and rewrite it according to her wishes.
How does the writer face this crazy fan, how to understand the emotional logic behind her moodiness, how to deal with her, how to let the outside world know the predicament he is in, how to escape?
And why did Anne, the number one book fan, do these extreme things, and what kind of past does she have?
Is "Ten Days of Danger" terrifying?
Ten Days in Danger is a film based on horror fiction master Stephen King's original book "Number One Book Fan".
The most terrifying part of the horror movie in my opinion is not bloody, not zombies or sudden screams, etc., but as if there are a pair of cold hands emerging from the ground, grabbing your ankles, and then climbing all the way to the spine, this kind of chilling back, the sense of horror, the horror is that you can't help but enter the story to experience, experience the fear of the crisis that will come at any time, experience the pain, experience the anxiety...
Is the movie good?
It looks good, and it looks good without any burden.
Why is it said that there is no burden? Because the story itself, including in the narrative, I don't think there are too many places that people can't understand and need to be deliberately interpreted to feel powerful. As a horror thriller movie, its thriller expressiveness is very good.
The heroine of the film is a great highlight of the film, actor Kathy Bates has absolute expressive power for the characters' depression, mania, gentleness and thoughtfulness, she is violent, crazy, but also needs love, needs recognition, she gently takes care of the writer's food and clothing, and also angrily breaks the writer's leg with a hammer.
In this way, we can see the heroine's human side, she has her own emotions, emotions, requirements for the placement of objects, etc., but the other we are also afraid of her moodiness, the strong oppression brought about by her roar.
It can be said that this is a movie that will be born of fear just by watching the performance of the heroine, and the heroine has also won the Oscar for best actress for her amazing acting skills in "Ten Days of Danger".
So even if you don't pursue the metaphor of the relationship between writers and fans, just watching the excitement of the story and picture of the movie itself is also a great enjoyment, and it is a horror thriller that is worth watching.
