Over the years, whether it is DC or Marvel, it has been quite popular,
They all rely on their own cosmic series to make a lot of money, especially Marvel's "Avengers" series IP in recent years, which is even more dominant.
At this point, DC and Marvel can't help but make Universal Pictures envious,
In fact, as early as a few years ago, Universal Pictures had the intention of playing a big game to create a dark universe, and wanted to develop a dark universe that could achieve the same influence:
Features monsters.
The Dark Universe relies mainly on styles such as horror, adventure and thrilling action,
Therefore, Universal Pictures has revived all the previous signature characters,
Mummy, Van Helsing, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, as well as vampires, werewolves, invisible men, etc. ...
Unfortunately, the first battle of the Dark Series was "The New Mummy" starring Atang Ge,
As a result, the box office fiasco was a failure, and word of mouth was swept across the street.
And "The Bride of Frankenstein", which was originally scheduled to be starred by Angelina Jolie,
Dwayne Johnson intends to participate in "Werewolf",
Scarlett Johansson is expected to star in "Black Lake Demon Pool",
All are delayed indefinitely.
Even the "Invisible Man", which has been broadcast, is a bumpy road,
Originally joined by Johnny Depp, but now due to the shrinking cost, only one star star is left to participate:
That is: Elizabeth Moss.
Prior to this, Elizabeth Moss was quickly promoted to a first-line performer with her unusually outstanding performance in "The Handmaid's Tale".
Even so, her popularity is still far less than the previous lineup of The Invisible Man.
Previously, "The Invisible Man" also rumored that Amy Hanmo, who invited "Please Call Me by Your Name", to play the main villain,
The role of tall, handsome, evil, paranoid optical genius has also been replaced by oliver Jason-Cohen, who is now illegible, because of the compression of funds.
It can be said that today's "Invisible Man" has moved out of the dark universe,
It has become an independent science fiction and suspense work.
Fortunately, although Universal Pictures abandoned the treatment in the starring lineup, it was very careful about the choice of director.
Chose Wen Ziren's royal screenwriter Ray Werner, this name may not be familiar to you, but his screenwriting work is like thunder,
Chainsaw Horror series, Latent series, Dead Silence....
This time in "The Invisible Man", Ray Werner's skill also continues the consistent fine tradition of Wen Ziren's team:
Good quality, good living, high efficiency.
Currently, The Invisible Man has a 92% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The excellence of "The Invisible Man" lies in its script structure and atmosphere creation,
In the past, in Wen Ziren's films, the audience has learned the method of transmitting emotions in details that he has pondered and feared.
Such as music boxes, mirrors, children's monitors, necklaces, wardrobes, can be used as tools to shape the atmosphere of horror.
The story content of "The Invisible Man" is also based on the identity background of the protagonist,
Without relying on special effects, tens of millions of horror pictures have been completed.
The story begins one night, the heroine cecilia in pajamas looks at her husband who is sleeping next to her with a frightened face,
Then, she crept out of the closet with a bag, changed her clothes, and fled from the panoramic villa.
Before leaving, she also tried to remove the electric shock collar from the dog, but instead triggered a car alarm, and had to flee.
After cecilia graduated from school, she went to Paris alone,
There, she met her talented husband, Adrian, and then lived with Adrian, becoming the lady who called the wind and rain in the Thousand Marriott Mansion.
However, Kota's life is not as good as imagined,
Adrian is extremely controlling, cecilia's speech and behavior must be carried out according to Adrian's wishes,
Cecilia, under the high-pressure control of Adrian, was physically and mentally exhausted, and finally found a gap to escape.
The story really begins after Cecilia learns that her husband committed suicide,
It was hard to escape the day, and cecilia, who had been afraid and uneasy all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief,
Not only did she not have to worry that her husband would find her, but she also inherited a large inheritance from her husband to help her friends.
What happened afterwards didn't make cecilia live a comfortable new life.
Cecilia felt her husband return to her side, opening up the audience from the perspective of God, and also felt the traces of someone's existence,
Cecilia exhaled a water mist, and the same mist appeared around her as soon as she turned her face;
In the middle of the night cecilia's quilt was pulled open, and then the sound of the phone shooting remembered,
Cecilia took a bath, a handprint on the glass, and Cecilia gazed at a corner of the house, the dent on the couch.
And this stage is just a small farce, and then it quickly heats up,
From a small farce, it became an attack on the people around Cecilia,
Beating up cecilia's friends, harassing their daughters, and making the whole house restless.
Not only that, the money that Cecilia originally donated to her friends was also instantly recovered.
Cecilia, who was misunderstood by everyone as a mental problem, was gradually isolated, and even locked her into the murderer of her husband, and threw her into the detention center.
Tell the truth, a normal person, very easy to identify, an abnormal person, also very easy to identify,
However, how can a normal but abnormal person convince others that he is normal is the most difficult.
The "hot spot" of the story begins with cecilia's counterattack,
She realized that if she wanted to escape her husband's control, she could not blindly give in, but had to fight back, even if there was no way to find it at present, and her will should be strengthened.
And the opposite of cecilia, the adrian who likes to control others, condenses all the characteristics of the perpetrator of domestic violence,
Irritable and irritable, lack of emotional management skills, like to gain pleasure by controlling others,
He not only controlled cecilia in action, but also mentally wanted to control her at the same time.
So, Adrian used suicide and inheritance methods to make Cecilia let down her guard,
Then withdraw the right to inherit the assets, let the cecilia chicken dog restless, so as to achieve full control,
The relationship between Cecilia and Adrian also happens to explain:
Why it is difficult for victims of domestic violence to get out of the environment of domestic violence, always forgive the perpetrator again and again.
One of the biggest factors is that the perpetrator has a strong desire to control the victim.
And from the position of the perpetrator, they urgently need the victim to join, to promote their desire to control,
It is precisely because the perpetrator unswervingly influences the victim that the victim cannot escape control and is confined to manipulation.
In addition to the interlocking links in the story, "The Invisible Man" uses a nuanced atmosphere to achieve a terrifying atmosphere,
The performance of the heroine Elizabeth Moss is a great weapon, and most of the time in the film she performs in the air.
The fear of her husband, the powerlessness of life, the sense of deprivation and torture, she all used the performance to stand up the character.
At the end of the film, the truth of the invisible man gives the audience endless reverie like an abyss:
The abyss is everywhere, whether to rebel or sink, only in a single thought.
