THE INVISIBLE MAN!

 

Hello beautiful people, sorry for not publishing anything yesterday, but I had problems with my internet company and I was offline all day yesterday.

I bring you a super movie, it is full of drama, suspense, and pure emotion, he is called the invisible man.

The Invisible Man is a 2020 American thriller and science fiction film written and directed by Leigh Whannell. The film stars Elisabeth Moss and Oliver Jackson-Cohen and is based on the H. G. Wells novel of the same name.

Like the original story, this film begins with a brilliant scientist, physicist, inventor, optics expert: Adrian Griffin, this scientist is well recognized, is a billionaire, and is in a relationship that, to all outside observers, seems happy and stable. However, Cecilia is trapped.

Perverse terror floods the film, which is greatly elevated by Moss, an actress painstakingly familiar with the most thorny, distressing, and disturbing situations. Her Cecilia is a portrait of a woman desperately fighting for her freedom and haunted by the specter, real or imagined, of the terrifying Adrian.

Much of the film's most accomplished moments are comprised of open-ended shots in which the character of Elizabeth Moss finds herself isolated in a corner with a menacing void behind. Faced with the enormity of an empty frame we hope that something will appear, that something will materialize, that we will see a clue, that the monster will appear... But we see nothing.

We are already very deep in this plot and we realize that perhaps it is not a "physical" monster but something more psychological, something that can harass us, destroy us, without having to be present in the same room.

At the same time, the production design of the tape has impressive details. One of them is, of course, Adrian Griffin's house. an imposing glass palace where everything is seen, everything is guarded and everything seems transparent. This "beautiful jail", as Whannel described it, is open in every way: surrounded by ocean and grasslands as an oasis of freedom.

One of the scenes that most impressed me about the movie is when, Cecilia sits at a table to tell her sister and friend James why she decided to escape from the stormy relationship she had with Adrian. The description of what she suffered for years is gradual and incomplete. Cecilia speaks of a manipulative and aggressive man who imposes on her a way of dressing, eating, speaking, and, finally, thinking. She never says what the consequences of disobeying were, but when asked if he beat her, she responds: "among other things."

With that scene I can say with total accuracy that fear here forces silence, even after she believes her torturer is dead, Cecilia remains silent. Thus is drawn, beyond the silence of the victims, the lasting invisible power imposed by the victimizers. 

Fear, emotional scars, trauma, are vestiges that last: there is an oppressive physical presence that does not fade in the absence. Violence does not persist only in the physical marks it leaves, such as bruises and wounds, its longevity is hidden, also, in psychological oppression.

This excellent plot of psychological terror shows us once again that there is no need for vampires, zombies, or murderous robots since the human being can be the most frightening creature that exists on the face of the earth.

If you have not seen it yet, I recommend it 100%, they will not take off the screen for a minute and in the end, they will have a sense of freedom and internal peace along with the protagonist.

XOXO Li.
