I was scared to death. Why is the American film The Shining the most international horror film?

It is worth exploring why The Shining ranks 1 in the list of horror movies because there are not many horror scenes. Throughout the film, with the careful study of the details and scene layout shown in the lens, it is not difficult to find that what is really terrible is the theme and connotation embodied in the film-the criticism of the Holocaust and the attack on the evil side of human nature.

First, the echo of details and themes has fully paved the way for telling the story of the Indian massacre.

The background of the story is introduced at the beginning of the film. Jack, the hero who wanted to concentrate on writing, was hired to guard a hilltop hotel built on the Indian grave. With the slow development of the film, a series of seemingly strange details that reflect the director's perfectionism gradually surfaced on the camera, which caught the audience's eye, such as ornaments printed with Indian patterns and articles used by Indians, which made people feel very strange and a little creepy.

Second, the real terror is not the so-called "ghost", but the cruelty and wanton killing of human nature.

It can be said that this movie is not as good as other horror movies in visual stimulation, and it can directly impact the audience. It makes people think carefully after reading it, which makes people feel fear and terrible from the bottom of their hearts. It's not the usual technique of horror movies, such as ghosts suddenly floating out and a bloody scene after opening the door, but the details are integrated into every scene. Once they are clear and deliberate, they will be horrified by the evil of human nature reflected in the film.

From the beginning, the chef's fear of room 237 was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity about this room. Later, Danny entered Room 237 and saw a pair of lovely twin sisters. But as soon as the camera changed, the two children were lying in a pool of blood, and then they changed. The little girls let Danny play with them as if nothing had happened forever.

Later, this scene was slowly explained-once a hotel security guard hacked his wife and twin daughters to death with an axe, and how evil spirits manipulated him to do such terrible things. Relatives who live together day and night and whose blood is thicker than water are hacked to death with sharp axes, and their souls cannot rest in peace. If the ugliness of human nature is obvious, then the sorrow of life is also vividly displayed here.

Third, warn mankind to remember history and not to let the horror scenes that have really been staged in history repeat themselves.

Generally speaking, the horror atmosphere of this film is still very sufficient, especially its classic shot-the blood pouring out of the elevator, trying to devour the whole hotel and even the whole world like a flood. There is also a profound moral here. The elevator goes straight underground, and the underground is the Indian grave. These spewing blood represents the innocent Indians who were slaughtered, and also represents their inner anger and unwillingness!

In this scene, the critical meaning of the whole film reached its climax, and its strong criticism of what Americans have done in history is also obvious.

Generally speaking, for the list of horror movies, if other movies rely on special effects and scene layout, it can be said that they have reached the top with profound connotations. It can be said that after careful deliberation, his thinking on human nature and his criticism of the massacre in history made people see the real horror.
