scares best horror
What can be said about the box that appears in the film "The Village"?Reviews of the first spectators have looked inclined to think that it's really frightening picture.But not in the usual sense, peculiar horror films.By and large, mythical creatures, monsters do not cause fear, because they do not openly displayed.The big surprise would be the final denouement, which opens the whole truth about the village, and brought forth a lot of questions.In such "pleasant aftertaste" and did probably bet writer-director.
Paradise on earth
artificially created world - that is the main message of the film "The Village."Feedback from those who looked the picture unanimously emit locals attempt to extricate itself from the cruelty of the surrounding reality.It seems that the idea is not new, but its originality disclosed in the picture completely.
Covington reflects the wonderful atmosphere of mystique and isolation.There is a feeling that you're transported to this place.At the same time placed under the wood burning torches and watching at checkpoints give rise to a sense of security guards.In short, as a viewer you get up on a par with the locals.
mystical grounds of events and unexpected ending
attract and release - that targets set by the "Mystery Forest".Guest viewers are inclined to believe that this quality cinema carries not only the atmosphere of mystery, but also philosophical subtexts.They are not difficult to see, especially since every frame filmed "passable".Clings to the first frame of the picture keeps in suspense until the final episode.And then - surprise and delight the wild, do not fit in the head.It turns out that under the veil of mystery are incredibly simple things (including some of the characters), so subtle that even once while watching not the feeling of deception, a trick, of hypocrisy.The picture turns everything upside down.If you want to keep this feeling up to the final scene refrain from annotations and synopsis, and immediately start watching.
Completeness emotions
What else attracted the audience "The Village"?Reviews of the film once again point out the amazing features of the "cling", typical, unfortunately, not all of the pictures.The director wisely distributed, where the plot flows uniformly, and where the viewer should be scared.Echoing the words of Sigourney Weaver nightmares caused by the script, this fear - frankly, disgusting, whose real connoisseurs creepy thrillers experienced.At the same time, M. Night Shyamalan and relishing their portions with extreme caution, as if afraid to hurt his audience.
Utopia modern society
Should we agree with the opinion that the social and philosophical aspects are the basis of the tape "The Village"?Reviews of the film - proof.Mystic genre acts outer shell, under which hides a deeper message.In this vein, it should be noted that the film ought to pick the correct name.It should be called "The Village" (in the original - "Village"), and nothing else!After all, she and not the forest is the object of the author's research.
In what lies the main idea?In a small corner of society, on a small plot of land people live with their foundations and concepts.However, their idyll, punctuated with terrible screams from the forest thicket, is built on ordinary human fear."Les ..." largely utopian.But even realizing it, one of the elders, so long to create his own world, does not want to change anything.Save values - that is, perhaps, why should learn from the film.
