How hard is it to understand that content is king?

Watching a movie is like the next restaurant. The content of the plot is the staple food on the table, and the special effects are just a condiment that makes people taste more delicious. This movie is like you go into a restaurant, order a dish that looks delicious, and when the waiter brings it out, it's a mess of shi with a lot of condiments.

However, shi is shi, and no matter how much you add more seasoning, it is still shi.

Empty plots, character motives that can't stand scrutiny, and all kinds of characters that look like flowers. The only one who is still full is the heroine, but this is because of the large amount of memories. There is not a single character in the whole film, and a character is gradually enriched through the promotion of the plot.

Including the male protagonist, what is the meaning of the existence of the male protagonist? Tow oil bottle? Just to force a match for the heroine?

Oh, don't say it.
