Horror films incorporate religious elements, which is a new direction for horror films in recent years, talking about a new direction, in fact, it is just picking up people's teeth. Because modern audiences have already had a certain resistance to traditional film content because of the massive reading of films and various ways of reading films. If there is no creativity in the story, even if it is a simple and rough direct stimulus, not many people are willing to pay. Therefore, horror films can be described as racking their brains in creativity. As a branch of horror films, the role that religious elements can play is getting heavier and heavier.
Of course, not all religious elements can be added to horror movies, some religious elements are indeed an indispensable part of the movie, but some religious elements are only religious elements, and it is not impossible to replace them with other things. The film recommended to you today is about the latter phenomenon, this film originated from a 2013 work in Venezuela, the title of the film is "The House at the End of Time". However, the remake was South Korea, and the Koreans chose this slightly unpopular story and finally succeeded in remaking it into a Korean local movie "Time Home".
As we all know, the remake itself is not innovative. But out of respect for the executives behind the scenes of the film, I'll talk about the film itself in general. Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that I have not seen the original "House at the End of Time", and if I have seen it and then compared, I am afraid that this is a kind of harm to this film. Let's look at them as if they were ordinary horror movies, maybe it's okay.
"Home in Time" tells the story of a lost mother, who remarries with a child, and the new husband has a child with her, but the new husband does not like the original child. Thus, the contradictory leads were thus laid. Once an accident occurred, the new husband's child fell into the water and died, and the new husband stubbornly believed that the original child caused the accident. Therefore, I secretly buried a grudge in my heart. People who see this may wonder what is so terrible about this, but what is terrifying is not this relationship, but the house in which they live.
A remote place, a legend that once was, together they form the secret foundation of this house. After a long period of contact with the house, the mother thought it had a supernatural spirit. This suspicion gradually accumulated and gradually increased, and finally broke out in a concentrated way one night. No one knows exactly what happened, and the end result is that the new husband dies and the original child goes missing. So the mother was arrested and imprisoned.
Decades later, revisiting the old place, she is bent on cracking the secrets of the house, but she is faced with a series of failures. And at this moment, a clergyman appeared. The clergy finally found the secret of the house by consulting the information, and at this time, the mother seemed to be about to launch a final attack on this "secret".
After watching this film, many people will understand that this is not a story in the traditional Sense of Korea, and it does not have much to do with the general Korean horror story. Therefore, the adapted story has some deviations in the landing, and these deviations are concentrated in the fact that the story of this film is not exquisite, and there are not too many advantages unique to Koreans.
This seemingly key cleric is not unique, his position in this film is only auxiliary, and the absolute core of this film is this mother. What is this mother doing? Throughout, she wants to save her lost child, which is the key to this film, and if this key is really going to land in Korean movies, it is naturally indispensable to some kind of entanglement and the shadow that causes public thinking. However, for such a mother, she cannot support herself with enough views to find her child, and it is logically complete and ideologically triggers public thinking. Therefore, if we only talk about adaptation, then the film is biased in the process of landing, and the elements unique to Korea are not better integrated, and more is a reproduction of imported products.
Secondly, the clergy is not irreplaceable, and the story logic in this film is hidden in this house that can carry out a large cycle of time, and the clergy can not help the mother too much, or play a key role in the finishing touch, everything is this mother, or most of the time, it is the mother who thinks about herself and the story of the house. At this point, the cleric did not promote the plot of the film very well.
The theme of this film is to save people and be saved, but after the whole story is fully interpreted, the mother can not get out of her own cycle, she has gone through the plot, still made a certain choice, this choice under the story of this film is not a complete, and let the audience perceive the perfect ending, this is the crux of the matter.
Remake is not the original sin, the best way to remake is to combine their own national conditions and customs, otherwise it can only be a reproduction, but most of the works reproduced are difficult to surpass the original, so instead of doing so, it is better to seriously make a story and create a real work by yourself. Otherwise, it would be useless for God to come.
