To be honest, if I had watched this movie 5 years ago, I might have thought it was a well-made romance film, but looking at it today, I can only say that whether it is the plot setting or the development, All can only be described in two words.
It is still very neat from beginning to end. There are many scenes where you can see traces of some more classic movies. For example, the dance scene has a Titanic style, but to be honest, all the love movies after the Titanic dance seem to dance. It's all this style.
In the setting of the plot, it is still the heroine and the elite, and then they are lovers with the same elite man, and then they meet the male protagonist who may be more ordinary, and finally the two stumbled and developed into lovers.
I don't want to say the word cliché anymore.
To be honest, American romance films are full of this style, is it to give American diaosi a chance to fantasize?
Another point that makes me a little uncomfortable is that the heroine has a very good income and status as a social elite, but during the entire film process, she is completely uglified and comical to complete the so-called laugh point setting of the film.
Comedy movies will have a common operation of vilifying characters to get laughs, but only uglifying one character in the whole process will make the two sides extremely unbalanced. Not only does the heroine's character collapse, but the male protagonist is also completely like a tool person, without any characteristics . And when there is only one character who is constantly unlucky and unlucky, the movie is not funny.
Then there is the issue of narrative. The reason for the sudden change of weather is used to create obstacles several times in the film. In fact, it seems that there are no other types of obstacles other than weather and emergencies. First of all, the setting of frequent use of emergencies to create obstacles for the protagonist is inherently unreal, and the sense of substitution for the film will be weakened. Second, the logic of the entire narrative flow will also appear unreasonable, because encountering such a situation in real life The probability of many natural disasters and emergencies is so small that the story itself seems unbelievable.
Second, the characters themselves do little to advance the narrative.
Let's go back to the characters, not only is the setting of the characters unreasonable, but also the balance of power between the two parties is very unreasonable. From the beginning to the end of the movie, the male protagonist is strong and the female protagonist is weak, and the female protagonist is constantly making a fool of himself. At the same time, the male protagonist is like a cold and arrogant boss, sometimes sneering at the side, sometimes treating him coldly, the only time it is useless to stand out. There is enough space to describe it, so that the entire male protagonist's character has no personality charm. If it is not supported by the actor's good looks, this role is really annoying.
Until the end of the film, the balance of power between the two sides has not been balanced. The heroine's life and feelings are frustrated, while the male protagonist has no reason, no warning, no reason, and the tavern, which was originally a very bad business, suddenly The business was getting better, and suddenly someone was willing to give generously to him to help him pay off some of the arrears. Such a setting is not impossible, but it seems very perfunctory when there is no premise and there is no reason.
At this time, the heroine, still the heroine, flew a 3,000-mile plane, proposed to the male protagonist in the lobby, and finally the male protagonist turned and left, leaving her alone and embarrassed to die.
It's just okay for the actor who was at a loss to act. If it was replaced by an actor with poor acting skills, I couldn't bear to watch this drama again.
The strength of the two sides has not been balanced from beginning to end, and the final development of the relationship seems very unpredictable and very strange. Why did an elite woman who chose to propose marriage after 4 years suddenly said that she wanted to pursue freedom? He proposed to a man he had known for only two days.
If this is because of the heroine's psychological trauma, then there is hardly any space in the film to give her longing or desire for family, or her inner desire. A line complaining about his father cannot carry the function of so many dramatic conflicts.
As for the male protagonist, how can the psychological trauma of being betrayed be healed, because his ex-girlfriend smiled at him and returned the ring?
The whole movie is full of this kind of unprepared action line, which causes the characters' emotional lines to be very fragmented and divided, and there is no way to connect them.
Overall, it's very playful,
And by forcibly using emergencies at the wedding, such as bumping the shoes into the bride's face, soiling the bride's skirt, etc., such small-probability emergencies force the characters' emotions to the bottom, and use them forcibly. The opportunity of being drunk makes their feelings forcibly germinate...
I don't even know, I've said a few words in this passage. The emotional line of the whole story is too deliberate, so deliberately that people can't get into it.
This kind of routine is relatively common in the first place, and it is difficult for the story to have a new bright love movie. The most important thing is to create attractive characters, so as to make the audience want to watch it all the time. When the characters have feelings, the audience will look forward to it. Their ending, God knows these 100 minutes, I really don't expect their ending, because it is too conventional and the ending is too predictable, which leads to the loss of all suspense and anticipation.
I don't know why the score of this movie can reach above 7 points, and 6 points pass, it's really amazing.
