A good movie that can't bear to be spoiled

► Tonight, I am going to give a Spanish movie to my buddies - "The Dark Side".

Spanish films are mostly known for their boldness and openness, but they also focus on the exploration of human nature and social reality.

The Dark Side" is a film with a novel perspective to draw the little unknown thoughts of women's hearts in love, which is dark and selfish, but also saddening.

►If you only watch the front half, then it is a horror film with an empty mansion as the backdrop for suspense. If you see the end, then you'll start to reflect on what the meaning of the film named "The Dark Side" is.

If the film was not well received, it must have been panned by the trailer. The trailer gives away all the points, and after watching the trailer, the movie is basically a no-brainer. But even if it is thoroughly penetrated, it still can't erase the meaning it brings.

Good movies make people think about things, and after watching this one, men and women in love probably need to think about the problems they have in their relationships with each other. About the dark side of human nature, do you dare to meet it head on?

At the beginning of the story, the main character, Adrian, is sitting on the floor next to the bed, holding a camera in his hand.

Adrian is watching a film of his girlfriend (or ex-girlfriend at this point, to be exact). The girlfriend, who had been in love for years, left him without leaving anything else but this film. And instructed not to go to her.

Adrian was in pain, and like most men who fall out of love, he went to a tavern to get drunk and shed tears in silence alone.

Adrian's actions caught the attention of the tavern hostess.

After the tavern closed, a drunken Adrian got into a fight with someone at the door, and the waitress came out to relieve the situation and offered to take him back.

The next day, the hero wakes up and finds himself in a strange place. It was the home of the tavern waitress, whose name was Fabiana. At first Adrian did not have much enthusiasm for Fabiana, but a lonely and wounded heart is always easily captured by tenderness, and soon, Adrian became acquainted with Fabiana.

Adrian is an orchestra conductor. He takes her to see where he works.

Soon, they lived together and lived happily ever after.

......

Wait! Is that the end of it? Is it that easy?!

Of course not.

► Since it's a horror romance, the ex-girlfriend must be haunted. Will there be guilt inside Adrian who got out of the shadow of his lost love so quickly?

After a few days there are two police officers appeared at home to investigate the case of Adrian's ex-girlfriend disappearance. Bald often next to the grizzly cigarette boy is not very friendly to Adrian's attitude. They think that Adrian murdered his ex-girlfriend and reported it to get rid of the suspicion.

Fabiana found that Adrian barely said anything to himself about his ex-girlfriend, and asked with a look of impatience unwilling to explain, saying that his ex-girlfriend had run away with someone else. The police searched Adrian's house all over again and found nothing.

But then the picture began to reverse in the direction of eerie suspense. First, Fabiana often heard strange voices coming from the sewers in the bathroom, as if they were calling her name.

Then is the bath time found in the bathtub still water will suddenly have a circle of ripples coming from the surface.

So Fabiana took a shower instead. But strange things were still happening. The water from the nozzle would suddenly become hot and scald her.

On nights when there is a thunderstorm with lightning, the power will suddenly go out.

And the inexplicable sounds that still come from the sewers one after another.

Even Adrian's dog would occasionally appear out of nowhere to scare her. Fabiana felt a bit of a nervous breakdown.

Just play trampoline in the room to relieve emotions.

Suddenly a key is found in a hole in the corner. This time will be reminiscent of another suspense film "The master key".

What is this key for?

Fabiana doesn't think too much about it, hangs the key around her neck as a necklace, and repeatedly admires her beauty in front of the large mirror in her room. (Note that another translation of this film is "Man in the Mirror", so this mirror has a special meaning in the film. The big army dog Hans also often comes to lie in front of the mirror.)

After finding the key, it didn't stop the suspenseful events from continuing. Another night of darkness and power outage, there were some strange noises in the house again.

Fabiana is frightened and thinks the house is haunted and tells Adrian what she feels, but he is not impressed and tells Fabiana that she is the one who is paranoid.

Fabiana heard another sound coming from the sewers and asked Adrian to listen and see too. Adrian didn't hear anything. To calm her down, Adrian shouted into the sewers and told the things that frightened Fabiana to get lost.

Reassured, Fabiana still had a suspicious feeling about the mirrors in her house, a feeling like being watched, like there were eyes in the room, omnipresent, watching her every move.

Later Adrian finds Fabiana talking to herself at home, as if she is talking to someone. But when she is asked, Fabiana lies.

Halfway through the movie, a flashback is used, starting back to Adrian's life before he met Fabiana. Adrian and his ex-girlfriend, Belen, used to be a man and a woman who were in love.

In order to support her boyfriend's command career, Belen gave up her own job and life and followed him to another strange place without complaint.

When they arrived at the new place, Beren started looking for the house they were going to live in. The big army dog, Hans, was left behind by the landlord.

But life isn't all smooth sailing, and behind the seemingly loving scenes, there are dark undercurrents that go unnoticed. Belen discovers that Adrian has a somewhat delicate relationship with one of the band's violinists.

Belen's heart begins to change, and the bond of trust that holds them together is somewhat disintegrating. She becomes friends with the landlord and during a conversation she talks about the doubts in her heart and the sadness of being betrayed. The landlord tells Belen that the most important thing in love is to be devoted, and asks Belen to test Adrian, what would happen to him if Belen disappeared?

The landlord tells Belen that the house contains a secret room built by her husband.

This secret room has many powerful features. For example, the mirror is one-way see-through, which means that the inside can see the outside, but the outside can't see the inside. This outside, is Beren and Adrian's bedroom.

And there is a speaker that can hear all the sounds coming from the outside room, but the outside can't perceive the inside.

Belen is ecstatic and wants to give Adrian a little punishment, so he can experience the taste of his lover disappearing. (Here you can refer to the "vanishing lover", directly run off to that plot, seems quite reasonable.)

So Belen began to record a video to Adrian, this time you can go back to the beginning, the next can be an echo of what happened in the first half of the film, as a horror movie suspense disappeared, turned into a woman because of suspicion and suspicion to take action against her boyfriend test of revenge ridiculous romance.

Adrian returns to find his girlfriend missing. His pain and sadness was clearly seen by Belen at this end of the chamber. Belen was happy that her test had worked and felt her boyfriend's love for her from his grief.

Beren wanted to rush out and jump into his arms, but dang it, the secret room key couldn't be found! Belen was trapped inside.

Belen could not escape from the chamber, could only watch Adrian after the bitterness of lost love, and quickly brought home a new girlfriend, lingering, embracing. Those who originally belonged to their own happiness, because of their own jealousy and distrust, gave up.

It must be said that although Fabiana was installed with the title of mistress, but the intelligence is not a vegetarian. Slowly, Fabiana discovered the secret of water ripples.

And use the water ripples to communicate with the person on the other end.

When Fabiana discovered the key to the secret room, Beren simply rejoiced.

Finally, Fabiana found the mechanism of the secret room. However, humanity at this time was greatly ironic, she inserted half of the key, and ultimately did not spin the bottom. At this point Fabiana heart in what, in the struggle with what, I think the audience are clear in their hearts.

Fabiana was afraid that if she opened the door, Adrian would no longer belong to her and everything here would dissipate. But the cat always eats the fishy, Adrian is not as good as he thought, and soon Fabiana found him out with other women.

Disappointed Fabiana returned home and remembered her ex-girlfriend at the end of the mirror who she had never met with the few words from Adrian's mouth and tried to continue chatting with the water ripples, but the water was still. I have to say something about Fabiana's wisdom, through the hot water contained open fog, attempted to communicate with Beren using the words on the mirror. But still no response. Fear surfaced in Fabiana's heart.

► Fabiana finally went to open the door, what was the ending? Is Belen still alive? Is hiding from the truth enough to secure permanent love?

At this point, the ending doesn't seem to be that important. What the director wants to present to the audience is a reflection on human nature and the concept of love. The reincarnation of good and evil karma cannot escape the dark side of human heart. The audience, as an outsider, can see through the camera the complex emotions of the two women inside and outside the chamber, and the despair and fear in the chamber also deeply touches people's hearts. Many people will say, "Women, if you don't do it, you won't die. But the two in the moment of love entanglement, not the clear.

Can love stand up to the test?

True love needs to be tested?

Many questions need to be left to the onlooker to think about.

Love stories are not always good from the beginning to the end, there are suspicions and doubts in the process, there are conflicts and quarrels, but in the end, what makes two people stay together is trust. Perhaps this is the meaning that this movie wants to bring to people.
