Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
草拟大坝啊 ! 这都在干嘛呢?所有都是强设定不说，伊桑霍克连基本的设定都完全没有，更别提什么犯罪动机再细节的了。而且男主全程上帝视角，反派这边一个吸嗨了的二比，另一个神志不清，还是瞎子，窗户掉了没看见，屋子里也不检查，前面几个小孩通关了的地方修好也不知道拆除。开头一看布伦屋我还以为严肃恐怖片呢，不恐怖也起码悬疑吧，结果原来是儿童青春片，关键按这个方向看也很傻逼，因为兄妹俩也是纸片人，最后经历这些居然就是落在男主变自信了，搞笑呢好吧。更别提欺诈式营销，伊桑霍克只露了一秒脸（很严谨）。这片子不如给迪士尼拍，直接子供向g级，也不影响剧情，还能大卖。
皇家空军的机群飞过湖面掠过地面，壮观极了。最近看了几部二战的片子。前几天看的是Schelde战役，是正义打败邪恶，以及人类在战争面前的无比渺小甚至软弱。另外还在看bang of brothers，更是正义一方消灭邪恶一方。这类题材大多会不同程度赞美正义。歌颂正义和为正义而做出的牺牲无可厚非，但是，为达到正义而付出的代价应当尽可能得减小。消灭邪恶是如此，抗击病毒也是如此。
老爹史蒂芬金有《小丑回魂》，儿子Joe Hill写《黑色电话》，是难摆脱老子的“阴影”！
前年看《真相》惊叹是枝裕和拍法国电影竟然没有水土不服，现在看《掮客》感慨是枝裕和拍韩国电影还是有点一言难尽（可能是我对棒子自带降分滤镜吧）。故事核心还是是枝裕和偏爱的“家庭”戏，节奏缓慢却又能吸引住观众注意力，摩天轮一段已经很动容，“感谢出生”一段简直泪崩，可惜最后剧情急转而下又突兀又理想化，结局着实草率了，留白也不足以拉回。另外中间总有种《mother》即视感。演员都还不错，婴儿演员全场最佳！
整体节奏太快了，其实应该是一部迷你剧的体量。前面蛮好的，后半截就是《唐山大地震》水平。
我们有祂们所言的贪、嗔、痴、慢、疑
搅动掀起战争的那些人永远不会反思战争，他们只会研究轰炸的战略。而被打的却在那反思战争的残忍。可笑可叹。
从另一个角度给人带来战争的残酷，被友军误炸孩子们，她们消失的责任又该让谁来承担
“对社会失望却对人与人之间充满温情”，真是说到位了，跟大家的想法不太一样，是枝裕和的批判其实一点没少，两位警察的态度尤其是裴斗娜“虽然现实中，不会发生这样的事情”，和iu在天台的良心质问。其实片子从海进一出来就朝着童话故事的方向发展，摩天轮，宋康昊和女儿餐馆对话，关灯感谢你的诞生，这些戏都美好的不像话，可是那又怎么样呢？这么好的视听与其说是导演的水土不服，不如说是他对以往真正过分煽情的韩影的轻调教。
开头就暗示了大英皇家空军是瞎子。上帝是不是在捡铅笔，真的是戳心。
看完我只有what the fuck形容了，伊桑霍克演了个这么肤浅的角色，我一直以为这片子有什么特别？？
斯科特德瑞克森继《险恶》后再次合作伊桑霍克。本片相比《险恶》有异曲同工之处，但却没有险恶那么高潮迭起。孩童的视角让全片显得有点像在模仿《小丑回魂》，不停的绑架和接电话让人看的昏昏欲睡，台词无聊至极，让人觉得这不像是德瑞克森的电影
死亡电话，梦境通灵，物件解谜过关斩将，密室小鬼战大鬼，Finn's arm is mint! Joe Hill 的又一个现代黑色童话，质量赶上他爹老金了，当然，导演 Scott Derrickson 也发挥很好
近些年看过最好的战争题材电影，出乎意料的好，直戳内心深处。厚重的前戏、出色的配乐、氛围的烘托、儿童的视角、铺开的群像、特写的镜头、以及充满张力的表演，一切都太必要了，一切也都是恰到好处。战争永远是残酷的，所谓的正义有时造成的伤害远比邪恶更大，而对于那些伪善的、借战争牟利的、为一己之私致生命于不顾的，都应该去死。
最后妈妈狂奔回家这一路，我的心也纠了一路。
9.7.2022 | @ Regal Majestic | 在没啥恐怖片的七月初重新上映，所以横向比较还算可以？故事还算可以，讲得也还行。一点点的jump scare就够满足了。（扒着指头等NOPE的就是我了）
仿小丑回魂，气球，小镇杀人狂，黄色雨衣，雨天自行车等等元素，叙事有些流水账了，特别是反派没有塑造起来
小男孩努力說話問傷者名字那一幕，還有伊娃的母親飛奔回家的那個長鏡頭，精彩絕倫！最後電影以伊娃在家安靜地喝粥結束，更是冬日中的一縷暖陽。
最后一幕还致敬了罗拉快跑
无论出于什么目的 无论正义与否 战争永远是错误的 只要看看无辜卷入战争中的人们 就能明白这一点
