The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the tale of a widowed(丧妻的)lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s(客户的)affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decided to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.
His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony(小马驹)and trap(轻便马车)in difficulty, followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.
The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路)going: demonic(恶魔的)dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked(穿黑披风的)woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.
British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.
“The Woman in Black works because of Radcliffe, not in spite of him, ” he said. “Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever. ”
There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled(下赌注)on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift(移动)closer and closer into his eyes, ” he told British magazine Total Film.
