How to make a comedy movie-to be open, to be open, shameless, to have ideas

The use of shit to spoof politics and pop culture is not the first of Sasha Byron Cohen, but he is definitely the best. In "Borat", "Bruno" and "The Dictator", which is the lead screenwriter and starring role, his tricks have become more and more fluid, especially "The Dictator", which is almost like Chaplin. Of course, I say this to show respect for the masters of art. In fact, watching Sasha’s "Dictator" is much cooler than Chaplin's "The Great Dictator". After all, it is a spoof of Kim Jong-il and Gaddafi. Hitler has a more sense of contemporary identity. What's more, Chaplin will not use two-minute shots in his films to show how intoxicated a person who has just learned to touch myself is.

However, in this "Ace Spies: Greensby", the screenwriter seems to be not very interested in politics and popular satire. He just let the US presidential candidate Trump and Harry Potter play The author, Daniel Radcliffe, was infected with AIDS. As for terrorism and the future of mankind, which promote the overall plot, they are nothing but bluffs. This is not bad, and without much effort on satire, Sasha Byron Cohen's three-way spoof has reached a lower, dirtier, and more vulgar realm.

It's abnormal, but I like it.

In "Spy Ace", Sasha plays Norby, a football hooligan whose life is in a rotten state. For many years, he has been looking for his younger brother Sebastian, who was adopted when he was young. When they met again, his younger brother Sebastian Has become a top agent of MI6. The following plot is so clichéd that we can guess it completely. Brothers in completely different worlds form a funny partner, and the football hooligan brother helps the elite brothers complete impossible tasks with his rich experience in the bottom life scum. This kind of routine is almost universally applicable. The audience as ordinary people can gain a strong sense of self-identity in the counterattack of Diosi, or it is a kind of psychological hint: You see, such a fool can succeed, let alone me? To make this cliché more brilliant, Cohen's method is of course-even more baseless inferiority. The bottom line is only yours, it has nothing to do with him.

From the beginning of the movie, the mattress test in the furniture store has been out of character. Norby’s test sleep is not just lying in bed. The "sleep" here is equivalent to the "sleep" of "I want to sleep with you". An intense bed exercise is used to verify whether the mattress is comfortable, and the conclusions drawn in this way are reliable. The swoosh-like bridge runs through the movie, but the real climax comes after the brothers meet. When the agent’s brother was poisoned on his shoulder and needed to let his brother suck out the venom through his mouth, I felt a little uneasy. According to Cohen’s traditional routine, the position of the shoulder was obviously too close, and then I was afraid that the butt would be poisoned. However, I was immediately ashamed of underestimating Sasha. The place where my brother was poisoned was not the buttocks, but the testicles on the left side.

So, for the sake of brotherhood, a straight man gave his first lick to another man.

The half of the big testicle of the younger brother is lying lazily on the face of the older brother. Such a brutal visual impact makes people laugh, but I believe that it will also make quite a few people uncomfortable or even disgusted, just like some people see. "Chain Saw" will get a lot of pleasure, but some people just vomit when looking at it. But do you know who would be the most angry at seeing this scene? Liam Gallagher, the lead singer of the British rock band Oasis. The singer had a conflict with Sasha Byron Cohen in 2012. Sasha planned a forbearance of revenge. Four years later, he imitated Liam Gallagher's style and created the image of Nobby. I don't know if Liam Gallagher has watched this movie, and if he recognizes that the guy who licks other people's testicles is himself.
However, this was only the first wave of climax, and another wave that was even more violent and unsightly came soon. Soon after the movie started, a foreshadowing was laid. Nobby’s children watched a documentary about elephants at home. The host said, “The uterus of a mother elephant can reach 410 cubic centimeters at its largest.” Well, I admit that I didn’t realize it at the time. This sentence is such an important clue, until the brothers met a group of elephants while avoiding chasing and killing nowhere to hide... There was a
flash of wisdom in the eyes of the brother, and the next two people had entered the womb of a female elephant. .
Sasha has a heinous preference for human organs. In "The Dictator," he delivered a pregnant woman and put his mobile phone into the pregnant woman's womb. I wonder if he was inspired by that inspiration.

But this is only the beginning of the "nightmare". There was a very bad joke, saying that two fleas originally lived in the hair of a woman, but later moved across the mountains and moved into a warm and humid cave, but they didn't want to be infested by a giant red-headed snake. The brothers suffered the same fate as the flea. When they thought they were safe in the womb of the mother elephant, they did not expect that a group of male elephants outside would have been eager to try.
So the two became the only people in human history who were raped by elephants.
The last time I was so dizzy with laughter from a movie was "The Dictator". Speaking of which, the overall quality of "Ace of Missions" is inferior to "The Dictator", and the lack of irony makes it lack of aftertaste. But having said that, pure spoof movies have always been not about logic, just like the purest spoof movie "Funny Show" series, which is completely spliced ​​together to form a movie, which is widely circulated on the Internet. Dynamic pictures such as inserting a rocket and completely inhaling a fat man's fart are derived from this series. When the audience knows in advance that a movie is a spoof movie, they will generally adjust their mentality to adapt to it, that is, they will devote themselves to enjoying the comic effect brought by unscrupulously making fun of it, instead of criticizing the rationality of the plot. You can feel the difference between your own mentality when you watch "Evil East and West Poison" and "Dong Cheng Xi Jiu".
It is indeed becoming more and more difficult to make comedy movies now. Frequent online jokes are constantly refreshing the lower limit of the audience, and at the same time, they are constantly improving their laughter. Simply relying on one or two bad jokes and funny expressions and actions can no longer be ignited. The excitement of the audience will only make people embarrassed. The way out for comedy movies is either to open up their minds and tell a well-connected story, like "Two Big Smokers"; or to throw away the morals and use unscrupulous or even shameless plots to please the audience, like "The Spy Ace" ". Therefore, we always feel that domestic films do not have decent comedies, because domestic comedies are always caught in the middle of two outlets, spoofs are not strong, and the story is illogical, like "villain angels" and others, nondescript, not embarrassing or embarrassing. . Judging from the current domestic film censorship system and the psychological habits of Chinese people, it is indeed difficult to have a screenwriter like Sasha who is open-minded, open-minded, shameless and thoughtful. It can only be expected that filmmakers can be patient, at least Can produce another work like Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" back then.
