The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
没什么新意 套路化的 奥斯卡不太行…
國語晉語九：趙簡子嘆曰：「雀入于海為蛤，雉入于淮為蜃。黿鼉魚鱉，莫不能化，唯人不能。哀夫！」竇庇侍，曰：「臣聞之，君子哀無人，不哀無賄；哀無德，不哀無寵；哀名之不令，不哀年之不登。夫范、中行氏不恤庶難，欲擅晉國，今其子孫將耕于齊，宗廟之犧為畎畝之勤，人之化也，何日之有！」
ps.男主是《唱街》男主！！
。。。
父亲抚摸女儿喉咙以震动来听歌，是有声世界和无声世界的连接；通过这个动作，他们真正的相互理解了对方的世界。多处泪目。
儒学的正反面，这种历史题材本该由我们述说，但这是一部韩国电影。
一路走低。看剧照黑白还挺有质感，电影就完全不行。基本观感就是片中对诗场景，绝句念一遍， 白话又解释一遍，如此臃肿重复。
虽然这是一部“韩国”电影，但可能是目前为止最能阐释近代东亚开明士人之心态的电影。这其中有我们熟悉的东西，也有陌生化的视角，后者使我们能从更人文的角度看待西学东渐。这便是韩国之于我们的先天优势：没有宏大的历史包袱，因而能从盛衰兴替的叙事使命中跳脱出来，平实而亲切地去理解波澜历史中的“人”。当然，本片的优点不仅在于人文上的切近，也在于文化理解的格局：它并非是要借丁若铨之口贬抑旧学而崇扬西学，而是要通过对西学的方法论实践来实现旧学在精神层面的回归和还原，而这也是师徒二人殊途同归的意义所在。尤其是，在新旧交替与传承的表意下，影片最终回到了当下：它似乎遥遥地呼唤着一种更广阔的国民性的回归——慈山的前身是黑山，现代的内核是传统，文明的基础中潜藏着一些不可动摇的东西，一如那大海中的不沉岛屿。
父母和女主的两次和解一场合唱团音乐会一场音乐面试，从唱给你听到边唱边用手语传达，爱才是真正的桥梁。虽为翻拍鸡汤，但还是感动到了。
其实就是比较细腻的一个情感类剧本，有着典型的社会小人物那种模板式的剧情矛盾点，但值得4星推荐的原因，除了节奏、拍摄水平、表演之外，导演在电影中仅仅三次利用了聋哑人听觉特点，给本来3星的电影提升了一个档次：学校正式演出的突然寂静，面试的手语演唱，最后离别父亲说出的“go”。
年少逐梦。手语歌唱，不负彼此。
心酸又心疼，片中催泪的场景太多，学校演出时父亲视角的沉寂无声，面试时的手语演唱，父亲摸女儿声带来感受歌声。生活不易，他们的团结和互相支持无比温馨。
这部电影加上《思悼》，本来应该是我们最能拍好的一类电影，结果都被韩国导演拍了，还都出自李濬益之手。
一个聋人家庭中诞生了一颗小小新星，却在人生最青葱的时光面临着社交、升学、家庭维生的多重压力。导演用抓人眼球和耳朵的音乐梦想很好地串联起了观众的注意，用镜头语言抹去了许多理性存在的残酷真相，用美好的色调和节奏为我们展现健听群体的不易生活
这些问题由遥远的历史中飘来，直到今天，答案也仍在风中。
《兹山鱼谱》，满分推荐给所有东亚型知识分子的电影，流放主题。东亚因政治一贯野蛮残暴，所以很少采取流刑，而多使用肉刑（当然现代稍微文明一点了，汇入徒刑，但肉刑依旧有遗存）。中国采取流刑较多的，是政治上相对文明的两宋；日本、韩国流刑传统较中国更为久长，原因恐在于日本、韩国实际未能形成稳固的中央集权传统，日本自古以来就更像是封建制，而中国封建制终结于先秦，导致后者未能为流刑留下空间。流刑的使用是考察一个文明体是残暴黑暗还是文明宽恕的最有趣的视角，也是判断其在文化上有无希望的最佳依据。
2022年了
朴素直接，歌曲蛮好听，看片尾credit发现是翻拍片，怪不得有很多法国工作人员参与
其实，对于身有残疾的人而言，“无微不至”的关怀也是一种区别对待
3.5；有点贪多求全，一部电影很难容纳这等广博的议题，尤其是师徒分道扬镳后较粗疏。多次联想到东坡屡次流放甚至远至黄州/惠州等化外之地。正道儒学求功名，最终是否能完成解救苍生的宏愿，还是在西洋理念的熏染下摆脱规训教条，探求出一条不服命运既定的入世之道——信教是否真能成为另一条开拓之路且另说罢。
