On a hot summer day, my father Hugh and my mother Olivia, my eldest son Steven, my eldest daughter Shirley, my second daughter Dio, and twins Luke and Nelly. A family of seven came to the villa. Thus began the story of seven completely different personalities. Let's focus on three of them.
First of all, mom Olivia
The mother in this film borrowed from sharping (the heroine seems to belong to that house from the beginning). She looks strong, but her spirit is fragile. Because of all kinds of pressures and ghosts in the house, the body and the smell of the house are integrated. When the father left anxiously with his child, he faced the child's question, "Where is mother? I just saw my mother, and my father replied, that's not your mother. It was really scary.
Because the whole story is flashback, you can clear your mind after reading it. As the tenth episode said, "Wandering ends when lovers meet". This is what husband and wife encourage and believe in each other. The husband and wife are designers and decorators respectively. They are engaged in renovating dilapidated mansions and selling them at high prices. But in the process of running around looking for a house, repairing a house and selling a house, I was tired and tired, with many children, and my faith in husband and wife collapsed a little. And this house has its spirituality, confusing and assimilating her with her powerful motherhood. She began to think that only by staying in this house, staying by her side and waking up in a "nightmare" would the child be safe and painless. So one night, she held a "children's tea party" with her two youngest children (in fact, rat poison was put in the tea). Fortunately, her father found out in time that she had escaped with the child. The unconscious mother woke up and found that the child had been taken away. She was provoked by other ghosts in the house and jumped down the spiral stairs to commit suicide.
Second, Dad, Hugh.
The father's image can refer to the father in genetic bad luck. Judging from the plot, the first eight episodes don't have much sense of existence, and even seem pale and powerless. In the ninth episode, it's getting better and better, and it's still calm after all kinds of strange things. It turns out that the father is the one who knows everything, watches silently and protects the children silently.
He knows that this house is like a person, devouring people's spirit and soul, and resentment adds energy to it, so he would rather let the house rot slowly, stop selling and reselling, and let others stay away from the house; I would rather the children have many misunderstandings and complaints about him and remain silent; When he knew that his wife had become abnormal and tried to murder his children, he still defended her image among the children; When his wife committed suicide, she was heartbroken but still faced it bravely; Finally, I went back to the villa to face the question of my wife's ghost and answered the voices of parents all over the world: children will grow up, no matter how much they suffer, we parents should learn to bear it, because there will always be good and bad experiences in people's lives, and we can't give up beauty at the same time because we avoid pain. He persuaded his wife to open the red door and let the children face everything by themselves. My father (who died of a heart attack because he didn't take medicine in time) chose to stay at this home, let his eldest son keep a secret and tell him: I am proud to be your father.
Third, Nelly.
Tell me about Nelly, the youngest child. The father lost custody because he took all the children out of Hill Villa and left them in the motel (in fact, the father had to go back to save their mother). The child was adopted by menstruation and dispersed when he grew up. The family seems to be in pieces, but it is reunited because of Nelly's bizarre death, which promotes the key development of the plot. As the youngest child, smart and lovely, he loves his parents and brothers and sisters. When he moved into this house, he was always troubled by a ghost with a crooked neck until he came of age. So she returned to the starting point of the story-the villa. When she called her father to say goodbye in the car, the lights in the distant house came on. When I was still at Hill Villa, the children were playing outside. My mother told them that the corridor lights flashed twice and it was time to go home. So she went in, and it was bright and warm inside. When she was a child, her family greeted her as usual, and she felt very happy-but in fact, the house was dilapidated and covered with vines. Then the grown-up family told them that they always understood her and that she danced with her lover. Finally, she fell in love with the necklace sent by her mother and hung it by the spiral staircase. Here comes the highlight of the play. Nelly who was hanged seems to have fallen into layers of hell. The person who suffered in hell was herself-when she was a child, after she got married ... and she was scared by herself-the crooked neck ghost again and again. Scary enough, exciting enough.
Fortunately, the unfortunate ending was that when her brother and sister woke up and told her their repentance, she quickly accepted it. She is finally with her parents forever.
Fourth, the villa.
Finally, talk about Hill Villa. There was a murder in this house from the beginning (there are many ghosts in this house, so the source remains to be verified). The resentment after Mrs. Hill's death made the house have its own ideas, lured people to come and trapped the soul here forever. The red door is the only mysterious place in this house that has no key and is locked. When children were young, they tried to open it, but they never did. Everyone thinks they have never been inside, but in fact everyone is inside ―― Olivia's study, Steven's game room, Shirley's family activity room, Dior's dance room, Luke's tree house and Nelly's tea party room. It's all transformed by Red Gate.
Finally, as Nelly said, the Red Gate is the stomach of the villa, and people are digested and swallowed. Note that my mother finally wore a red dress, and my father said to her, "Open the door, I know you can open it", which means that my mother has become a house, at least a part of it. She seduced Nelly with family and warmth, so that every child would never wake up and die with a nightmare containing her heart and troubles.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) general comment.
The routines that this drama has not escaped are: moving to the haunted house, going to the haunted house in the middle of the night to die alone, children and women are more sensitive and fragile, and they are more likely to be possessed by evil spirits.
Let's sublimate the theme. The mother's tragedy is because she is overwhelmed by trivial matters and can't let go of her children. Excessive motherhood is her fragile pillar. She woke up the youngest two children to drink poisonous tea. When Shirley, the oldest child, went to the kitchen to find food, her mother regretted that "the kitten grew up without a mother", which showed her subconscious anxiety. My father is rational from beginning to end. Although the children had many misunderstandings and resentments towards him, he chose to keep a secret. Because he knows better the meaning of living and being a parent, that is, children will always grow up and be brought into this world by you, but it is not up to you to decide. They will encounter pain and suffering, and they will also encounter their own smiles and sunshine. This is the true meaning of life. The witness of blood connection between relatives is love and care.
It should be mentioned that there are many ghosts in this drama, and they are all obscure, so some netizens started the game of finding ghosts. I have to say, there are really many ghosts that were not noticed at first.
In fact, the five children have their own characteristics and deserve further discussion. Everyone should have their own feelings after reading it. There will be no further drama. With the in-depth excavation of the past, they will eventually look straight into their hearts after clearing the fog of paranormal and suspense.
