There are three kinds of "good" actors in this world, namely movie emperors, film queens and child stars.
Among them, child stars are the most gold-containing beings.
They must not only have excellent acting skills, but also stand the test of time, and even survive the ravages of time.
Natalie Portman in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", McKenna Grace in "Genius Girl", Dakota Fanning in "I Am Sam", Morgan Lily in "Heartbeat".....
Basically, each is a Hollywood acting school.
But compared to these innocent girls, the following one may make you shudder:
"Orphan Complaint" 丨orphan
Just looking at the poster is enough to make every audience shudder.
The title "orphan" does not specifically refer to the orphan, nor does it directly use the name of the heroine esther as the title of the film.
In my opinion, it may be an expression: everyone has an orphan inside their hearts!
And the original intention of orphan was originally orphan, but adding a "grudge" word after it can't help but have a strange feeling.
Isabella Fuhrman, the post-95 actress with childlike innocence and maturity beyond her peers.
In the movie "Orphan Complaint", she is only 12 years old, but she plays a lustful girl in her 30s.
Remarkable acting skills are far beyond the scope of age.
After many years, the Internet broke out that "Orphan Complaint" was going to be prequeled, and the title of the film was also named "Este".
The only regret is that the little girl Isabella Fuhrman has grown up and cannot continue to be the heroine, so she can only choose someone else.
The story of the previous work still revolves around Este, telling that after she escaped from a mental hospital, she came to the United States and began a new life as "Este".
At the beginning of the story, there is peace.
Happy family of four, with good conditions and children.
However, an accidental miscarriage of the wife broke the originally peaceful life and caused a crack in the relationship between the husband and wife.
Later, the two decided to go to the orphanage to adopt a child.
A nine-year-old girl sits quietly in the classroom drawing.
A short contact feels very polite and can't help but make people feel good.
The nun then introduced the couple to Esther, an unfortunate child whose parents were killed in a fire, making her mature earlier than her peers.
However, there are two details here that remind the audience of how different this girl is.
First, when the couple first arrived at the orphanage, Este peered through the window and felt that the next encounter was a fine design.
The second is the nun's expression, which seems to have an unspeakable secret, but it is not convenient to say it.
But the couple was so happy with Este that they couldn't wait to adopt the child.
Compared to the rebellion of her son Daniel, Este is very sensible.
Hearing that her sister Max couldn't hear, she deliberately learned some sign language on the road to greet her sister.
When wife Kate told Este about her daughter's death, she burst into tears that Kate was a good mother.
In short, everything is moving in a good direction.
Over time, though, Este's weirdness also revealed.
For example, she is reluctant to have intimate contact with others, except for her husband John.
She had to wear a bracelet and collar around her wrists and neck every day, and she had to lock the door in the shower.
......
Of course, these can be understood as a girl's personality.
Then, the next behavior is not suitable for her age.
End the life of the bird in a cruel way;
Find opportunities at school to take revenge on her classmates who bullied her;
In order to continue to stay in this home, she actually used a hammer to kill the nun who was making a return visit.
Unfortunately, by the time his wife Kate realized all this, it was too late.
She questioned her husband John, but was forever denied the same reason: she was still a child!
Why do everyone from husband to psychologist think that the wife's whims?
It turned out that Kate had been an alcoholic for so many years, and later during the period of abstinence, she was extremely mentally unstable.
The arrival of Este made Kate's fragile emotions completely explode, so she was admitted to the hospital.
So the question is, what exactly is Este's identity?
In fact, it's a long story, everything starts one night.
After his wife Kate is hospitalized, Este is unusually dressed up to seduce John.
No one expected this scene.
As a result, John's refusal allowed Este to blacken directly.
Meanwhile, Kate, who is in the hospital, receives a phone call and finally learns Este's true identity.
It turned out that Este was a 33-year-old adult woman.
Because he suffers from rapid pituitary disorder, which causes hypopituitarism, he looks like a child.
In front of the adults, she pretended to be a child.
In front of the child, she is an adult.
This distorted identity makes her an "orphan" in the adult world.
So Este continued to use the identity of the child to make up one lie after another.
This also explains her previous strange behavior.
The weak body is filled with endless desires, and has long been suppressed by the external environment.
Over time, it becomes "resentment".
It is worth mentioning that the film originally had 2 completely different endings after its release.
The first ending, exactly what we see now, ends up sinking into the icy lake.
The overall rhythm is smooth and vivid, so that the audience who has been suppressed for the whole scene finally dares to take a deep breath.
In the second ending, the police arrive at Kate's house, and Este puts on makeup in the room in advance and returns to the appearance of a 9-year-old girl.
Subsequently, at the muzzle of the police, Este, dressed in a classic skirt, walked slowly down the stairs: hello, my name is esther.
The film also ends.
Compared to the first ending, it is obvious that this is more meaningful.
But in reality, the producers received many complaints from parents who adopted their children.
So under pressure, I could only delete this section and remake it into the current version.
I have to admit that the director is very attentive, not only good at rendering the atmosphere, but also arranging a series of plots to trigger the audience to reflect.
In my opinion, Orphan Grudge is more like a beautiful horror film.
Will we also be orphans?
If you think about it, I believe that everyone's heart will definitely have different answers.
As for whether this movie is scary or not, wait for everyone to judge for themselves.
