Good story, no need to say more

I happened to watch the dialogue between Chen Danqing and Jiao Xiongping last night. The show was called [Focus]. The old angry young man Chen Danqing said that our current director can't tell stories. At that time, I didn't quite understand what it meant to be incapable of telling stories. After reading [No need to say], I truly realized the sadness of not being able to "tell the story." They use light and shadow, action, violence and even pornography to make gimmicks. It is undeniable that these are also part of the movie, and some will overuse it and ignore the story itself. Some have no story at all.

In the film, the nanny of the female protagonist's girlfriend's house, quit again and again, but was still invited back. Because the nanny was misunderstood as putting all kinds of strange things in baseball in various strange places, conflicts broke out, and the nanny made complaints about the hostess and vented all kinds of dissatisfaction. Just like, the daughter of the heroine also misunderstood and became jealous when seeing the close look of a good friend sleeping with the heroine. There are many misunderstandings that are just right in the film. It is understandable, and it is easier to resonate (oh I also encountered similar) misunderstandings to promote the plot.

I think the most comprehensible thing is the climax in the film. The hostess met the client and the client’s ex husband. Later, a stubborn guy said: "I know it's very dirty to say this, but you hurt my heart." The director has already laid the groundwork for the many factors that produce this delicate feeling. When that scene is reached, he can naturally appreciate the feelings of the man. This is the storytelling.
"Yes, I did not protect us"

If you feel inexplicably unable to understand the feeling of this big guy, I recommend you to watch a popcorn movie, so that you won't waste time.

Between people. Really need to understand, need to compromise, no need to say more. Just like the nanny who was invited back in the end, there are still strange combs in the cabinets in the kitchen, but these are innocuous. The big Hanbert still said his own style of joke,
"What I want to tell you is that I bought a few bedside tables"
"No way? You really bought it?"
"No, I didn't buy it."

People who are not suitable, refuse to compromise or don't really like them, separate and become friends. Like the various ex-wives and ex-husbands in the film, it is rather harmonious. The Chinese may not be able to do it, and I don’t think I can do it, but I think that’s good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Very warm and nice movie.
