4.3
A very interesting movie. From the beginning to the end, the score in my heart ranges from less than 0.5 at the beginning (one shot to the end), to 3 (starting to split the mirror), then to 4 (starting to review the film to the end), 4.6 (all kinds of unexpected The external situation, endless and echoing climaxes), finally stabilized and decided to give a 4.3. When I first started watching it, I thought: I was completely at a loss, what is this all about, doesn’t the photographer know where to look even at the most basic level? By the middle of the rehearsal, the screenwriter's mastery of comedy has already been revealed. When it comes to the final replay, I can't help but stop the progress bar to compare back and forth, and then burst out laughing at the same time. It can be said that the screenwriter worked very hard to restore the daily life of a film crew.
But I don't know if it was because I had too high expectations during the mid-stage review or what, it was inevitable that I would be a little disappointed later.
The script itself is already very good, and I dropped a point because I thought it could be better. If the frequent "smartness" of the crew's situation can make a self-contained story for the part that is shot to the end in one shot, and can make the previous 0.5 look better, then it would be really unacceptable. There are also other expectations, which may not be realized due to technical reasons, such as: what if the replay part is also a mirror to the end? What if the video camera used for the replay also appeared in a one-to-one shot (for example, let the fake photographer hold it)? Wouldn't it be better to have two cameras and one mirror in the end?
Especially if some supporting roles are not particularly important, wouldn't it be better to directly let the crew perform the same duties in the play (for example, the real photographer playing the fake photographer in the play)? In this way, it is equivalent to the entire crew of this play being also the actors of this play. The process of filming (one shot to the end) is itself a play (replay), isn't it wonderful? Wouldn't it be better if the scene shot by the pseudo-photographer during the replay was just a shot of the finished product at the beginning? It was after the comparison that I confirmed that the replay was additionally filmed, and it was inevitable that I was disappointed. And the ending just confirmed my thoughts. I don't think the writer and director would have thought of this, probably due to technical reasons. In fact, the most ingenious thing to say is that it would be even better if the director himself acted as the director of the play within the play, and also the director of the "play within the play"? Ha ha ha ha
In any case, as far as a technical streaming comedy is concerned, both technical and comedy elements are actually quite good. It's really rare to see such an ingenious script and such a rotten shot to the end, as well as the "touch" of a housewife.
