The monkey enjoys the inevitability of death
I produced eleven and Voice News (Noa) Using artificial intelligence. Listen to more stories on the Noa application.
Last year, the writer and director Oz Perkins released a movie called Longegs This was a decisive surprise and a box office destroyed. It was a bad and worrying movie in the vein The silence of the lambsAnd brilliantly challenged internal logic; The film directed more to “Feelings”, as the FBI’s protagonist was identical to intelligence with an unsuccessful evil. Perkins follow -up, Monkey– It was adapted from a short story by Stephen King – another wilderness in this type of horror: an arc, boil, and play for dark dark laughter. It is also a more clear task statement than species LongegsAs if the director is holding the audience by the shoulders and lectures: When it comes to death, there are no rules.
This is a united position for a horror movie. The favorite Trops of Hollywood for Slasher is easy to locate (don’t have sex! Don’t say you will get used to!) It inspired a whole series of serial killers who are psychologically installed to follow the principles of this type. Initially, a hypothesis Monkey It suggests the same type of preparation and result. See, there is a frightening Monkey Donkey – Windup doll that plays creeping drums – and when you start, someone dies around it. But it does not take a long time for Berkins to ignore this planning formula in favor of a more surprising transformation of events.
Monkey The twin boys are affiliated with the game, which causes chaos on their families. Then the boys spend contracts trying to find out how to lead it. Yes, the monkey ends a life, but perhaps their owners can direct this power to the people who do not like them, protect those who love them, or avoid the will of the game completely. With the focus of the story along, the focus is on the Perkins point: there is no dominant death, even if you can run a literal key to put your disappearance in the movement.
If this looks dark, well, it is. Perkins seems to be able to avoid showing his view of his world in his work, even if he made a chaotic comedy. The exit features of the exit, beyond them LongegsThe intimate horror works were in the atmosphere. Any transformation in the mood is remarkable. Monkey I managed to tend to fully destroy the horizon and dry one with drought while providing a large space for beheading, electricity, and the sequence of each of the deaths that should be seen as a concept.
The film begins with a nice introduction that includes Adam Scott, who is looking at the obsession, in a good airline group, in an attempt to drop the cursed monkey game in mortgage. We know that he is the father of Hull and Bill Shilburn (played by Christian Confere, Kabellin, Theo James) and that he disappeared from their lives, leaving behind the monkey and the mother of the great boys (The Great Tatiana Maslany). Chaos is revealed quickly when he finds extensive twins, different twins, catastrophic heritage-although Perkins mostly maintains the first act, as children struggle with the death attack around them.
In the hands of another exit, the tone can vigorously fluctuate. Perkins is a child shocking specialist who feels satisfied and associated with, and this applies to delicious concerns in his latest movie. for him Their youth It is a rich and dark area that I admit Indirect mining For previous projects. (Perkins is the son of the late Anthony Perkins, the star of horror classics mental patient.) Although Monkey It is a (loose) translation of the work of another author, and it also looks like a lighter side to the most personal Longegs: Both films are subjects of parental palaces and ways that can be frequented by distress early in life in adulthood.
James appears at first a Western option in favor of Hull and Bell adult-the more the twin, in separate ways, grows to be a dead end, and White Lotus Star is ridiculed, handsome directly to buy as a complete failure. But this contradiction becomes part of MonkeyA strange feeling of humor. Hull is the main character of the film, and it is clear that he is a smart person and perhaps even a magician; However, he decided the life of deliberate toil, in an attempt to avoid the curse of the monkey. As such, Hull spends a lot of the movie resisting to appear at work. But Perkins uses James’s body – the actor is clearly engraved – to indicate the audience that Hal is completely capable of confrontation, if necessary.
Bell (absent from King’s story) is an ready -made Hull identifier, who decided to embrace the monkey’s chaos to make his own gains. It promotes the key again and again, and seeks to play the results of the game. Bell’s obsession is forcing Hull to return to their homes, hoping to speak with his brother. It also leads to a set of brutal massacre, with heads and ends that fly across the screen every few minutes. Supporting each of the behavior of the characters is the primary discomfort of the randomness of death; This is the terrible truth that Berkins knows is enough to keep viewers addicted, even with the end of things with joy. Another coming coming, and because we are in this strange and harmful movie, it will be a fun movie. But the result will always be the same: Someone has now gone. In the face of this cold nightmare, the nightmare, all Perkins can do it is laughter.
