Absolutely warm, maybe cliché

A long-time self-proclaimed veteran movie fan, he has recently fallen to the point of relying on friends who are not even amateur fanciers to recommend movies to watch. The degree of laziness is outrageous.

A friend who has not seen in the United States for three years recently returned to the great motherland. According to his story, he had nothing to do during the long flight. He even watched a few movies, and mainly recommended "27 Dresses" and "Absolutely, Maybe". Of course, they are talking about English names. When I heard "27 Dresses", I felt very cordial. Although this film can be regarded as a classic Hollywood model, a friend of mine who watched the film with me guessed the plot perfectly before the story started ten minutes. I hadn't watched a classic Hollywood romantic comedy for a long time, and the first time I watched it was the American TS version, and I actually understood the whole film without subtitles (the degree of its cliché is evident), and I felt more confident and had a good impression of it. .

According to my friends who stayed in the United States, "Absolutely, Maybe" and "27 Dresses" are very similar films, so the label should be: romantic love light comedy. When I think of this label, a ghostly word pops into my mind: cookie cutter. One of the biggest problems with me is that everything is on my face, my friends who stayed in the United States immediately detected the smallest contempt deep in my eyes, and rushed to say: "Although I know it's vulgar, sometimes this kind of film is very right to me. Appetite." I hurriedly defended: "Appetite to me too, shake hands."

This kind of film is really appetizing to me, and I have never scored a film below 60 in my hands, except for Kate · Beckinsale's "Fate is Destined" I think the plot is too far-fetched. Young girls, there is no way to do it

Three or four days after meeting my friends in the United States, Lanlan Xianxian finally watched the film. The ending of the story is of course reunion, otherwise how can this kind of film make popcorn? However, at the beginning of the story, there are still a few small details that make me feel... I can't say it's refreshing, but it's been a long time. And I was even more pleasantly surprised after seeing the familiar faces of Abigail and Rachel Weisz (blame me for not previewing the lineup, this is a film from the beginning of the year).

Abi's parents are getting divorced. After she received her first sexual education at school, she pestered her father Heath to tell her about her parents' love story. Father Heath didn't want to repeat the past, but she couldn't help her daughter's coquetry (Fathers are really helpless, my dad was forced to ask me, hehe). So, he changed the names of the three most important women in his life and told them to his daughter as a bedtime story, and asked her to guess which of the three women was his mother...

The ghost's daughter One of the details revealed the mystery at a point past 4/5 of the film, and I can't say that it didn't disappoint me, because I had been guessing before, but the answer was different from what I thought. Just when I was depressed, I found out that the latter half of the tail was moving smoothly in the direction of my guess, so I secretly thought to myself, it really is a cliché! In the end it is still a guess!
(But I guess the dark side of my secretly happy mood is that I expected to reveal the mystery at the very end, but the director gave me a slap in the face. Can you understand this unpleasant mood?)
And what I mentioned The place that I haven't seen for a long time, the first is Clint Mansell's soundtrack, although it doesn't have the finishing touch in "Requiem of a Dream" and "Fountain of Youth", but since I accidentally called me to see his name, it's still a warm feeling ;Furthermore, I saw the long-awaited switching between the drama in the drama and the reality in the drama at any time. Although I can't think of a movie with a similar technique, I am sure I have seen it and I like it very much, which shows that the movie is giving When the audience tells the story, they use the audience as a stand-in for the little girl. This innuendo will also make the audience unconsciously enter the role of the little girl Abi, curious and looking forward to a happy ending.
To be a sincere movie audience, you should consciously immerse yourself in the story, and voluntarily be led by the director's nose. Isn't it a thing that complements each other? Between the filmmaker and the audience, no one should look down on the other. Originally, watching the movie was just a matter of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai.

Going into the story, I am very envious of the love story of the real hero and heroine. I once wanted to cultivate my love in this area. But one day after watching the film (not when you finished watching it), I figured out, isn't that kind of love tiring? So, why pay attention to methods and methods? Which part of the love between Heath and these three women is your favorite?

    We often have something like buying an engagement ring for someone who has a commitment around us. In this case, the most sensitive recognition is always concealed and denied. We need too many conditions before we dare to fight for it bravely, otherwise , with the least amount of damage.
