in the title are three key words that popped up in my mind after reading Women Are Not Bad. If you need to continue to list them, OK-postmodern, nonsense, MTV, assorted dishes, shanzhai ... In short, I can't find a few good words to describe them. Judging from the lineup, production team, publicity and audience's expectation, I personally think it is a complete failure. The level is only similar to the shoddy Peach Blossom, and it is not as good as Love Left and Right as the MTV platter-at least there are several well-known songs in the latter.
Of course, if it's just for fun, as a pastime, and happens to be an audience accustomed to Korean dramas and Hong Kong films, Women Are Not Bad can still pass, with excellent production, beautiful pictures, complete plots and many small details. However, this is the joint work of Guo Zairong, a Korean youth romantic comedy master, and Tsui Hark, a Hong Kong martial arts romance film-just such a standard is really outrageous! I thought: I would think this film is good-looking, either with a tolerant mind like Buddha, or with a mental age of less than 21 years old. < P > Let's start with exaggeration. It seems that Guo Zairong's influence is not only in scriptwriting, but also in Tieling's authentic "Savage Series" production, all kinds of surreal expressions and camera switching, and even cartoon narration outside the painting, imaginary war scenes, etc., all of which are inherited from the usual routines of Korean comedies: exquisiteness, exaggeration and affectation, and then coupled with Hong Kong-style nonsense performances, a romantic comedy between men and women in Beijing, which is confessed to have been stewed by Korean Hong Kong flavor and turned into a comedy. Perhaps because I read the Cantonese version, I can't convince myself that this is a group of people from Beijing acting the story of Beijing. How can the audience get into the play by telling those realistic love paragraphs with such surreal exaggeration without the sense of reality? If it weren't for the cinema, it would be hard for me to finish watching it.
self-reflection: the reason why my evaluation is so low has a great relationship with my personal aesthetic habit of comedy: I have never thought that the nonsense exaggerated form and funny language have anything to do with the word "humor", but it is funny at best. For example, being funny is like seeing a "fat woman fall into a ditch" and you will laugh, which is an intuitive physiological reaction. Humor, on the other hand, shows the absurdity of things quietly, making you think for 1.1 seconds before laughing out loud. The latter will naturally be much more enjoyable and more memorable. For example, in the crazy stone, Guo Tao looked at Nikon's lens cover for a long time and said, "Nike, is there a camera?" . For another example, Forrest Gump said: I invested in a small company, but I don't like its trademark: it's an apple that was bitten ...
Unfortunately, in this "Women are not bad", not only is there no sense of humor, but even the funny scenes are lacking. The sporadic laughter that occasionally echoes in the cinema is particularly harsh, and the owners who can hear the laughter are a group of little girls-this is for < With your existing wisdom and post-modern fashion elements, it is still promising to fool the flowers and bones of the motherland! However, the title of the film may be changed to "Girls Find Love".
After reading the report, Tsui Hark admitted: As long as the audience is happy, it doesn't matter how "Tsui Hark" the film is! Finally, I understand that this is the embarrassment of this commercial New Year film: why do Korean screenwriters, Hong Kong directors and cast members mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan have to perform unfamiliar and intimate love stories in Beijing? Quite simply, the mainland audience has the largest market share! If you don't try to cater to the tastes of the richest people, don't you want to win the Palme d 'Or for a New Year film? However, success caters to success, failure caters to fame and fortune, and it is inevitable that the audience will be flattered if they don't cater to it well, just like itching for a long time in vain, and the audience still feels uncomfortable. I don't know if the audience in Guangdong will give a good comment. I think the audience in most areas will think it's too fake. It's just that the goods are not right. The bottle of Wuliangye contains Remy Martin, which is quite expensive, but it's not that smell!
Why is Cape Seven so good? Because it is a Taiwan Province native drama that only local people can shoot, why is Farewell My Concubine awesome? That's because Chen Kaige's understanding of drama, the Cultural Revolution and human nature was integrated in the first half of his life! Just like Beijing Opera, what a movie wants is the original flavor! Therefore, Guo Zairong can shoot pure Korean love classics "Wild Girlfriend" and "Love is God's Will", but the works of multinational forces: "Daisy", "My Robot Girlfriend" and "Woman Not Bad" have been criticized to varying degrees. The integration and reflection of different cultures can't interact with each other in a positive way. In most cases, the practice of one-pot stew will only destroy their own tastes and stew the original good materials into a hodgepodge that can't be served on the table.
according to the principle of being kind, no matter how bad the film is, you can't kill it with a stick! We can still find out some advantages if we try hard: For example, Women Are Not Bad tells at least one fairly complete story, unlike Peach Blossom Luck and Love Left and Right, the story can't be justified, so it's simply not round: I'm just a bittern platter with a collection of essays, so go who you love!
At the beginning of the story, the three heroines are montaged in parallel, each with its own splendor. It was not until the core prop "pheromone" patch of this film was successfully developed by Zhou Xun that the three lines were summed up in a restaurant through pheromone's strokes. Explain: The so-called pheromone is a chemical reagent extracted from human urine and other substances: congenial people will instantly fall in love with each other as long as they smell the matched pheromone (but in the film, Zhang Yuqi's performance after smelling it is more like taking an aphrodisiac! ) This is a theme of humanity and emotion that is worth exploring, but the exaggerated performance and plot in the movie can't be discussed in depth at all, and it can only be used as a driving force to promote the development of farce, and finally inexplicably ends in a brain-dead rock concert. The director told us: lovers can get married without pheromones! Children, go home, there is no pheromone. Brother Xu is just teasing you with Teacher Guo ...
In my opinion, two of the four New Year films for urban men and women with similar themes at the end of this year have been killed, and Love Left and Right is barely passed. Judging from the film, If You Are the One is worth looking forward to. After all, Xiaogang Feng and Chen Guofu are the two most reliable people in Chinese comedies that are humorous rather than funny. Also, Crazy Racing, which has been skipping tickets, is also expected to be released at the end of the year. I'd like to see if Ning Hao is the best in Jiang Lang or further.
Finally, borrow the explanation from teacher Luo Yonghao's blog: It is used to warn the audience who want to have a good laugh during the two hours of watching Women Not Bad: "You are funny without quotations, jokes and hilarious jokes!"
