a master piece

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2001)

The Others is a master piece. How many films have failed to put us in OTHERS' shoes. Just look at Planet of the Apes. Stinky human says one ape. The context is that in the movie, the human are the second class citizens and the apes are superior. But as the audience, do we believe that what has presented to us is true? If we do, we will not have problems with the scene in which the ape and human kiss...
But The Others succeeds in putting us in a context that we can hardly comprehend. Not do we go through the experience of the others, we also come to understand psychologically about Nicole's character before all these things happened -- again the others. Such understanding is two layered, and it is convincing. I was in my shoes when I went in the theater but in others' shoes when I came out of the theater. The Others is a master piece.
