Does anyone know of a Japanese horror movie? The heroine kills with her eyes

"Midnight Ring"

"Midnight Ring" (Japanese: Rinko) is a Japanese suspense thriller film adapted from the novel of the same name by Suzuki Koji. The film was released in 1998 and was directed by Hideo Nakata. Including the series of movies and books of the same name, etc.

Characteristic Prototype

The cursed video tape scene in the film gives people an ominous feeling. It looks like Sadako is looking up from the bottom of a well. The intermittent and rough images are like a beginner. The photographer-like composition, which is both naive and complex, has no trace of film semiotics, which deepens the inexplicable fear in the hearts of the audience sitting on the chairs in the theater; when the audience follows Sadako and looks up from the bottom of the well, Sadako The man he saw in his eyes was Dr. Ikuma who cruelly pushed his daughter Sadako down the well. According to Hiroshi Takahashi, the director of "The Ring", it turns out that the images on the cursed video tape were not shot through a camera lens, but using special photography. The supernatural scenes were written vividly on the film without a camera lens. The ability to project the images in your mind onto the film comes from two real-life clairvoyants, Chizuru Mifune and Ikuko Nagao, during the Meiji period in Japan. Chizuru Mifune was born in the 19th year of Meiji. In Japan, she is famous as the clairvoyant Chizuru. She became famous because of her brother's induced hypnosis experiment. In the summer of Meiji 41, she used clairvoyance to find a gold ring that fell into the sea. Chizuru Mifune is known as Chizuru. A rumor was also adapted in the movie about Shizuko Yamamura, who can talk to sea monsters. Dr. Fukurai Yuyoshi, an early leader in studying Japanese paranormal phenomena, also became a topical figure because of his contact with Chizuru Mifune. In order to prove the existence of special abilities in the world, he did not hesitate to work on Chizuru Mifune and used her as a ghost. Her best experimental trophy made Chizuru Funa the focus of media attention. An experiment was conducted in front of hundreds of scholars on September 15, 1943. Chizuru Mifune did it without being informed. She picked three to five words from a thousand words, and then compared them with the fifty phrases prepared by the scholar. She used perspective to successfully answer the words three times, which made everyone present dumbfounded. However, because she turned her back to everyone People suspected that she had tampered with her hands. The next day, the newspaper accused her of being a fraudster. Chizuru, who was 25 years old, couldn't bear the criticism from the media and committed suicide by drinking pills in anger. Another Nagao Ikuko was the first legendary figure in Japan who could use special powers to project the images and words in his mind on image negatives. Dr. Fukurai died in Meiji 43 after Chizuru Mifune's experiment failed. I found Ikuko Nagao, who was 39 years old at the time. Ikuko was also known through Dr. Fukui's various experiments and showed incredible special abilities in front of the media many times. However, she was also exposed to the tricks of an experiment on January 8, 1944. It is said that in February of the same year, he could not bear the pain of heart disease, so he followed in the footsteps of Chizuru Mifune. Although Sadako in the movie "The Ring" has not left any relevant documents in modern Japanese history, it can be vaguely guessed that Sadako is very close to the combination of these two legendary figures who once made everything possible. In this way, Dr. Ikuma who pushed Sadako down the well in the movie was the original character of Dr. Fukurai Yukichi who walked between Chizuru Mifune and Ikko Nagao with his motorcycle.

Knowledge

●Some knowledge 1. The well symbolizes the female birth canal, the bottom of the well is the uterus, and the water in the well is amniotic fluid. Sadako climbed out of the well, implying her strong desire to be reincarnated. Of course, you need a father to give birth to a child, so the director arranged for a man to enter a well high up a mountain. The plot of Sadako's reincarnation was included in "The Ring Again".

It turned out that she couldn't climb out. She only climbed to the mouth of the well and couldn't get out. However, she used her mind to mislead the hero and heroine, making them think that rescuing her from the well would eliminate the curse. In fact, she waited until the hero and heroine sealed the hole. After the well was opened and the so-called elimination of the curse was performed, the seal on the evil spirit was actually removed and she was released from the well, so she was able to climb out of the well in the end, so the man died. Only then did they suddenly realize that the women seemed to understand something. They understood that they had been deceived, and what they were doing was not redemption, but releasing evil spirits! ! ! ! 2. "Water" is of great significance in Japanese ghost movies. Since Japan is an island country and is often plagued by water disasters, water is regarded as a symbol of death, so they are also full of fear of water. In this film, water becomes a symbol of Samara's evil spirit because she was in the water at the bottom of the well until the end of her life (I didn't expect water to have such a deep meaning to the Japanese). 3. RING virus: Bell virus, a ring virus. Composed of Sadako's genetic genes and the smallpox virus, Sadako's trump card. 4. When the virus mutates, about 50% of the circular viruses will become flagellar viruses, which can then attack the brain or uterus. 5. The last two lines on page 37 of Ryuji Takayama’s thesis were crossed out and an arrow was drawn on the upper left. It was this arrow that made Takano Mai accidentally find the videotape - whether it was a conspiracy or a coincidence, everyone can think for themselves. Bar. 6. The sealed space, water, and time of death in the well are Professor Tetsuzo Sugura's theory of the formation of curses. Sadako and Toyama once talked about the video tape. When Dr. Ikuma died, he taught Sadako genetic knowledge, which made it possible for her to use super powers to create video tapes. Sadako evolved in the well, and the video tape accidentally mutated. This gave Sadako a complete body. And poor Ando became Sadako's experiment, having sex with a man who had been dead for 25 years - both exciting and terrifying. In the end, Ando betrayed humanity for his dead son - what a contradiction! 7. Sadako once mentioned to Toyama that Dajiubao told her that a certain tape contained the sound of a woman screaming in bed, and there was a shrine in the corner of the recording studio. Da Jiubao denied it. There is only one reasonable explanation: that is Sadako's precognitive ability. The woman's cry is actually Sadako's own, and the umbilical cord in the shrine means fertility and regeneration. Sadako also had a similar dream, and Sadako finally gets a complete body that can replicate itself. All in all, it's all pretty weird. As Ryuji said, this is an unprecedented conspiracy.

Errors and Omissions

Time Confusion The book emphasizes many times that the speed of time in the "ring" is six times that of the real world, and half a year in the "ring" is equivalent to the real world time. It is mentioned many times that the few months that Takayama Ryuji died in the "ring" are equivalent to the twenty years that Futami Kaoru grew up in the real world; I am afraid the author cannot tell whether it is right or wrong. Aai's explanation: Shortly after Ryuuji's death, the Ring was stopped due to two main reasons: the cancer of the Ring and the lack of funds in the real world. At this time, A Xin was born in the real world. It was not until A Xin reached the age of twenty that Dr. Elliott reopened the ring world in order to solve the mystery of the metastatic human cancer virus. The doctor then resurrected Xin in the ring as Ryuji. Therefore, for nearly twenty years, the ring world has been in a static state. Therefore, there are no errors or omissions in the plot of the book, but the readers’ understanding is biased.
