The teeth missing of the first victims suggests the existence of the ritual, then the following episodes continue showing the process of Eddie collecting teeth from children manipulated. The teeth might symbolize the fear of kids. Changing teeth and the necessary pain produced by dentists certainly cause worries that much more strong and inevitable than other random events, which varies based on living circumstances, would have conducted. Besides, the image created by Western culture, representative Tooth Fairy, indicates the crucial role plays by this oral skeleton in traditional American fairy tale system. Thus, Eddie's behaviour of depriving teeth and molding the actual vessel with them is literally an expression of "I am capable of making you suffer, feeling pain and scare; I feed on your nightmares; and I AM THE HORROR." in the sight of a 12-year-old kid, who could have viewed other classical tooth-related figures in the substantial amount of films and television works, especially cult ones; or simply empathized the self experiences during his childhood.
When the story comes to the finale, the emergence—vaguely hinted— of Mike's power which has stopped Eddie's resurgence directly, is reasonable. According to the character design of both Eddie and Mike, who as identical twins share all their genes, the brothers should theoretically equip with power on the equal level or at the potential capacity of reaching the similar state.
The reasons why Eddie shows his talent far earlier than Mike does lie in both subjective and cognitive elements, as well as the stimulus provided by the condition of the social relationship. To be specific, differences between two characters root in the CHANGE: When did they begin to change, why do they change and how.
In Eddie's case, the slightly stubborn kid receives bullying for several times, along with verbal insult and unobtainable apologies; and the last item very likely reflects the unvalued status the boy's family are in among the community, which too is confirmed by images of a helpless mother and a father/husband absent house. Eddie's anger later aggravates because of Mike's rule-breaking act, of tending to build an interpersonal relationship beyond the family members, which regarded by Eddie a solid sign of betrayal. This is the time and the opportunity Eddie begin to change. The lines from Mike: "You're changing", "It's changing you", point out the process. Furthermore, during the period, it can be realized that the kid would acquire basic knowledge of his power, and practice it to be stronger. It is evident that Eddie's ability originates from anger and hatred.
On the other side, Mike had no change or did not change a lot since then. The kid stands aside, crying, while Eddie gets involved in the brutal beat. The character of Mike shows awareness of survival and social skills, for instance, avoiding meaningless conflicts and engaging with genuine communication; and these habits allow relatively mild thoughts with lessened pressure. Mike changes right about the time he decides to protect Jessica, however, Eddie's death halts Mike's demand for power. The most urgent motivation of fight emerges under the protective desire to Lily, meaning love, which considered as the reversal but the equivalent of hatred; plus the deeper insight of the unnatural phenomenon. Consequently, twins' power forms counterbalance, preventing Eddie's spirit possession along with Mike's leaving.
一对兄弟童年时他们因为长期被其他小伙伴欺凌,导致他哥觉醒出了超能力,开始报复以前欺凌过他们的人。可是慢慢的到了后来性质开始变了。他哥的占有欲开始变得很强,有一天居然向他的弟弟说,杰西卡要是做了你的女朋友,你就不会在爱我了,所以我要杀了她!害怕女友被杀的弟弟手刃了自己的亲哥。
他哥挂了后也不安分,一直躲在自己创造的世界里播放一些18x的恶心卡通片来毒害其他未成年,可是巧妇难为无米之炊!没有施法的工具导致他播放的节目老是卡帧出现重影,想要播放出高清4k的电视节目,就需要哥哥进入弟弟的身体来作为媒介,以此来满足他的邪恶计划!
可是弟弟早已在他死后被母上送出了小镇多年,无计可施的哥哥只好用出了托梦大法~年近半百的大叔被自己14岁的亲哥日日夜夜的托梦骚扰,曾一度崩溃自残的进了精神病院,出院后决定回去问个清楚为什么哥哥每晚都要来烦他!
弟弟回到小镇后第一件事就是去老情人杰西卡家里蹭了顿饭,没想到妒火中烧的哥哥居然派出了他的影迷和粉丝去暗杀杰西卡,最终手里有枪的可怜杰西卡还是死在了4名未成年狂热粉丝的乱刀之下,而在一旁助威的拉拉队老妪也得意的笑了。
第二天知道真相的弟弟勃然大怒决定去找哥哥理论一番,没想到见面时哥哥为了给弟弟惊喜,居然穿上了那件他长期收集未成年牙齿而制作的衣服,弟弟看了非常恶心,想吐又吐不出来,在一旁干呕。哥哥看见弟弟这想吐又吐不出来的感觉,心一软就帮他催吐,直接把整只全是牙齿的手伸进了弟弟的口中,深喉帮他催吐,没想到用力过猛弟弟晕了过去。
弟弟被弄晕后莫名其妙的来到了哥哥的世界,一看居然有一个浑身被烧焦的野汉子陪在哥哥身边!弟弟大惊,你不是喜欢小正太的吗?生气的他开始乱砸东西,没想到把电视砸坏了,现在他们谁都出不去了!理亏的弟弟变成了小正太陪在哥哥身边,太过无聊的他们居然一起播放18x卡通片给未成年看!这回倒是清晰多了~
ps:我实在是看不出来这剧的大纲和《寂静岭》有什么区别?除了它们的结尾不同和灭镇,其他居然都是神似,好比《寂静岭》是瓶可乐,编剧导演开始往里面开始大量的兑白开水,放上名叫“蜡烛湾怪谈”的灶台加热一下,最后在放点《遗传厄运》味的香精(虽然是去年上映的),就成了这部剧....
这剧也不是不能看,只能说剧情太过于平淡没有起伏,而导演又故意把电影的气氛搞得过于压抑,甚至于高潮到了的时候我都是平淡的看完的,中间还一直看进度条,希望快点结束,因为这剧节奏实在是太太太慢了,同时有很多无意义的闪回片段,很多都是重复了很多次的,给人看了有一种心烦意乱的感觉。
《寂静岭》和《遗传厄运》同样也是气氛很压抑的作品,但是不同之处在于他们的压抑会“爆炸”!《寂静岭》小女孩一直在地底浑身是烧伤的苟延残喘十几年,而她复仇的铁丝穿透始作俑者折磨敌人时给观众,一种复仇的快感。遗传厄运则是男主发现这一切都是死去的邪教外祖母的圈套,全家人从出生就被早已献祭给恶魔时候的绝望,点燃了观众压抑已久的气氛,全身都是毛骨悚然和浑身战栗的感觉。他们压抑后的爆发都能给人一种精神上的快感,就像憋气太久的人忽然呼吸到空气的畅快,而《蜡烛湾》则不具备这个点,一路压抑到尾....而到了最后,爱儿心切的母亲选择儿子的建议捂死了他,但给人的感觉也仅仅是眼前一亮而已,远远达不到“引爆压抑气氛”的效果。
另外,男一号的演技简直是个谜,童年女友杰西卡挂了他都能面无表情,眼里毫无伤感的情绪,而他的脸却给人一种暖暖的感觉,他就算面无表情也像是在微笑一样,真的让观众很出戏。感觉演技还不如童年版的麦克,一人饰两角,哥哥的睚眦必报,弟弟懦弱胆小,弑兄后那种惊慌失措和于心不忍都写在脸上,以及最后和变成大叔弟弟打扑克那段,表情全是不信任但是又很寂寞希望有人陪他玩的感觉,演技真的很棒~
看完后想来看看有没有大神解说 发现剧评好少ry
