The Others 小岛惊魂
The film is set in the British Crown Dependency of Jersey, in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Grace Stewart (Nicole Kidman) is a Catholic mother who lives with her two small children in a remote country house. The children, Anne (Alakina Mann) and Nicholas (James Bentley), have an uncommon disease characterized by photosensitivity (a special feature on the DVD indicates the disease is xeroderma pigmentosum), so their lives are structured around a series of complex rules designed to protect them from inadvertent exposure to sunlight.
The new arrival of three servants at the house—an aging nanny and servant named Mrs. Bertha Mills (Fionnula Flanagan), an elderly gardener named Mr. Edmund Tuttle (Eric Sykes), and a young mute girl named Lydia (Elaine Cassidy)—coincides with a number of odd events, and Grace begins to fear that they are not alone. Anne draws pictures of four people: a man, a woman, a boy called Victor, and a scary old woman, all of whom she says she has seen in the house.
二战结束,格蕾丝(尼科尔•基德曼)在英伦的小岛上独自抚养着一对儿女 ,耐心等待着丈夫从战场归来。儿女怕光,受到光照会发病,因此家里的窗帘常年拉得严严实实。就在这样一间阴暗的古宅里,格蕾丝迎来了三个新仆人。这三个人到来之后 ,却让格蕾丝寒了心——窗帘经常被拉开,门无故打开,钢琴自动发声,而她的女儿说,在房间里经常可以见到陌生男人。格蕾丝陷入了精神紧张的状态,她不明白怪事为何屡屡发生,不明白丈夫为何迟迟未归。而她最后才醒悟,所有的惊恐,其实都来源自身,但是事情已经不可逆转……
推荐理由:结局耐人寻味,以为被鬼缠身却发现一切恐惧源于自身。
