Part of the reason why classics are classics is that the quality of the classics themselves is very good, and many iconic content can be regarded as creating a precedent in a certain field. Especially classic movies, not only the character settings, but also the story plot is also in the lead, but there is also a classic, the reason why it is classic is not more because of the above, but because it appeared early, it may not be the best, but it is definitely the first to appear.

The film "Friday the 13th" recommended to you today belongs to this category of classics, you say it's excellent, now it seems that a lot of bridges are overflowing, you say that his role is set very well, in fact, his role setting is just a precedent, but it is such a film, after it was released, it basically started from it, and later films with similar themes shot one after another have an invisible pillar.

"Friday the 13th" is about a group of people invited to a camp by the lake, and as a result, in this camp, this group of people were killed one after another, and the murderer constantly provoked the nerves of the victims, until when their nerves collapsed, death quietly came, and finally, around the lake, a series of bloody tragedies alternated.

Looking at this 1980-year-old movie with the current eyes, it is obvious that many of the scenes in this film will become the object of our ridicule, but this is the most taboo, if we bring in the aesthetics of 0 years to look at this film, there is no doubt that this film has a certain avant-garde.

First of all, let's talk about the story framework, this is an important element that a successful commercial film should have, a group of people go to the lake to help renovate the house, this is an alternative vacation model, this model has been mentioned in many subsequent films of the same type, for example, a group of people driving through the western no-man's land of the United States "Eyes Across the Mountain", a group of people got lost and strayed into the jungle "Fatal Bend", a group of people hiking and exploring but fell into a cave "Dark Invasion", etc., these films have a characteristic, That is the collective danger of being in danger. And what about after falling in? It's clear that the film continues to be pioneering.

One of the main elements of such small-budget cult commercial films in the United States is blood, and after the above-mentioned group is in danger, normal bystanders will give a guideline, that is, there is great strength in numbers, and only when united can they survive, but this is the Americans, and the Americans emphasize the supremacy of individual strength, and there is no such thing as uniting to resist all unknown risks. This classic setting just fits in with the American spirit that Americans admire. When individualism is supreme, it can stand out from a group of known people, but in the face of unknown risks, in the face of enemies in a dominant position, individualism is not so popular at this time, but the director does not act according to the audience's intentions.

Therefore, a classic setting, when the crowd faces unknown risks, they must be broken by the "risks" one by one. This setting just fits the general logic of almost all subsequent American thrillers, when a group of people set off on an adventure, in the end, after facing the risk, the crowd is always eaten one after another in the case of an individual being alone, and in the end, a group of people slowly becomes a person, and the individual strength can no longer form an effective combat force at this time, so the villain wins.

On the one hand, it successfully allowed the plot of the killing in all similar films to be continued smoothly and reasonably, on the other hand, it also gave the onlookers - the audience an illusion of hating iron and steel, watching the characters in front of them die one by one because of their deaths, the audience without exception has a feeling of regret, at this time, the audience will naturally expect a miracle, but this mentality remains until the last moment, when the miracle appears, the audience will integrate into the whole film more smoothly.

So in this film, did a miracle occur? appeared, but not completely, and the heroine who managed to escape in the end was the weakest one in the whole team, and this setting is also a classic, in almost all later cult films, the one who successfully survived to the end was often the weakest and trembling with fear as soon as there was movement. Of course, this is also in line with a kind of psychology, because the weak people are the most sensitive to the outside world, and often the strong can sleep peacefully, while the weak are always very alert. Of course, none of this is a reason.

In addition to these classic settings, there are actually many other details that also have new significance, such as handsome men and beautiful women, such as talking about love and dancing, such as young people who do not listen to persuasion and pickup chases, etc., these elements now seem to be commonplace, but under the conditions at the time, there are not many films that can complete the accumulation of these elements, therefore, this film has a kind of enlightenment significance for many classic cult series in the future, so that many later films have made similar bridges into the basic framework. That's why this film exists.

Of course, it's not an excellent film, but it's a classic movie indeed. This is the definition of the classic mentioned above, it may not reach the state of excellence, but as long as it achieves the role of the pioneer, then it can also become a classic, and the classic is not the same as excellent, or it may be because it was the first to do so.
