How funny is Juvenile Chunmeng (also compared with "Hongyan")

Say "Hong Yan" is the Chinese version of "Marlene", but I think Tornatore's version is far worse than "Hong Yan". It is still the same as his other two masterpieces "Paradise Cinema" and "Sea Pianist", very positive, very pure, and very ideal. Even with a lot more dew point shots.
Everyone has only one facade, and implements it to the end. Malena has been walking swayingly, the little boy has been peeping, the male resident has been drooling and his eyes are straight, and the female resident has been pinching his nose and cursing. What a neat movie. But the little boy's father's expressions were very funny, exaggerated beating and scolding. When he found out that his son had stolen the women's panties, his sister even said, let me wear them.
When Malena walked through the streets of the town, became the shining landscape of the town men, and the focus of the little boy's shy and innocent eyes, the whole scene was like a group of people posing as performance art, like a paste painting, extremely distorted.
It is not as rich and life-like as "Hong Yan" at all. Looks like an outdated burlesque.

The above feelings are compared with "Hong Yan", of course, they are not objective.
But when we think of it as just an ignorant nostalgia for the budding adolescence, then maybe it's a good shot.
The most important, interesting and moving thing in the play is the little boy's constant fantasies, or spring dreams. Of course, at the end, Malena was devastated and shocked. But it would be even more shocking if the little boy could come forward, even if only as angry as Xiao Yong did, and attack the persecutors.
However, in this movie, it doesn't matter whether it is really shocking or not, but recalling the youthful spring dream, how come there is so much load.

The biggest difference between "Marlene" and "Red Face" is that in "Marlene", she recalls from her own perspective, and she has always been a bystander; "Hongyan" is from the perspective of a bystander, but the characters all intersect in went together. It's a nice comparison, and I had to come up with a nice sentence to sum it up.
Think and think. . .
That's right, this way: "Marlene" is a bystander who feels oneself, and "Beauty" is a bystander's feeling of others.
But why, it is heart-wrenching to feel that oneself is calm and clear in the end, while watching others is heart-wrenching.
"Marlene" is a nostalgic mood, "Beauty" is a solidly sultry story. The two are actually not the same at all.
