"Fantasy
Island" is an American fantasy thriller movie released in 2020, directed
by Jeff Wadlow, starring Michael Pena, Lucy Hale, Maggie Q, Portia Doubleday and
adapted The TV series "Fantasy Island" which aired in 1977 tells the
story of the mysterious butler Mr. Luke in charge of an island like a fairyland
on the earth. He entertains five lucky people to come to the island to realize
their lifelong dreams. However, after the happy time, these wonderful fantasies
also began to twist and change, and the seemingly perfect holiday island
instantly became a nightmare place for tourists.
★Blumhouse
skill
This
kind of movie that sets the story in a mountain or island isolated from the
world is a subject that I am very interested in, not only because it can create
a stronger sense of suspense with the unknown of the audience and characters,
and strengthen the thriller atmosphere of the entire movie. The gap that arises
after the character discovers the truth can also bring out the topics that the
movie hopes to explore, giving the audience more opportunities to think.
Fantasy
island is an island in an unknown area. The people couldn’t call for help and
they can only gather those who were also abducted to execute the escape plan. Although
some chaotic narrative rhythms may be the biggest flaw of this movie, but the
characters have gone from knowing each other, enjoying the dreams they hope to
achieve, and finally deciding to destroy the stones that bring the mysterious
power to the island.
The entire movie is hidden behind the dark side of a
beautiful illusion, with a little black humorous jokes, which is known as the
combination of "The Cabin in the woods" and "Westworld" is
not surprising.

★Achieve
dreams
I
like the character and background of each character in this movie, whether it
is the miss of family, the regret of love, the shadow of being bullied during
school, or even the failure to reach out when others are in trouble. The movie
is based on these long-standing troubles in their hearts. Through fantasy
island, they can rewrite the past, heal the pain, or help people realize their
dreams.
However, in the end, it reflects the fundamental human nature that
people can’t deny. To a certain extent, the core theme of the story is also very
similar to that of "The Room" which can fulfill all the wishes of
people last year.
If
"Paradise Hills" tells the story of women's independence and autonomy
thought is based on the heroine's departure from the island, the wishes made on
the island by the characters from this movie not only show the loss and regret
that people have in their hearts, but also using the beautiful setting of that
“everything can be achieved” first and later “uncertain what accidents will
happen” and “everything must go on” results.
Even if everyone has their own
dreams, but sometimes the aspirational goals and future may eventually have to
pay many sacrifices and costs, or they may not be as perfect as we originally
expected.

★Clever plots
The
movie finally succeeded in using an unpredictable plot flip to gather the foreshadowing
laid down in the first half. Originally, several characters seemed to be
fulfilling their wishes, but in fact they could not only influence each other,
but also have a deep relationship. All of them caused the audience to have a
dislocation of time and space, as if walking into another world, but the
illusion never leaving this island adds a lot of fantasy to the movie.
Maybe
the ending of the movie is only one sentence: "That's what I'm acting."
It is so casual to explain the unreasonable plot loopholes in this movie, but
the concept and ingenuity of the overall story are still quite worthy of
recognition.
Life
can’t be restarted, and we can’t forget our regrets and hurts just because we
have achieved our wishes. They have already become a part of our lives. We can
only let them go, and try to let these past experiences become our driving
force for the future.
We originally thought that the island of "Fantasy
Island" was actually malicious, but in fact, like Elena played by Maggie
Q, she felt the burden of responsibility while marrying her ex-boyfriend and
having children. After having everything, they are in a corresponding
relationship of gain and loss. In the end, what kind of result this magic wish
will evolve is determined by the person self.
★Conclusion
On
the whole, "Fantasy Island" does have shortcomings such as too much
wishful thinking, inadequate narrative skills, and disorderly rhythms. However,
it can’t be denied that the entire scene and the creative idea of the story
still saved the movie. I think this is the strength of Blumhouse
