Disappointed

This movie seems to be a clear stream when the theater is in the recent downturn. It has more than 8 points and is even catching up with invisible guests. So with anticipation and excitement, it was difficult to buy tickets when it was still full two weeks after the release, and sat in the theater to watch it all the way. Come down, two hours is embarrassing.
This is a drama about Xueba helping people to cheat in exams to win a win-win situation. Since cheating in international exams is a crime, this movie classifies itself as a crime. There is no problem in itself, but the word suspense is too far-fetched. A vase friend, a rich young master, two academic masters, one well-behaved and one bold, standard configuration, full of routines. The soundtrack praised by netizens is to connect many fragmented shots together through various fragmented music. The shaping of tension and atmosphere relies too much on music, not through editing and the acting skills of the actors. However, the music jumps too fast instead. It makes people continue to play and even laugh, embarrassing. The performance of the lens relies heavily on close-up depiction, which makes the whole picture lose its beauty, and the emphasis and tension can only be displayed in slow motion. The techniques are single and exaggerated. The creation of the characters is too single, and the moment of conflict, the first is the scene where Banker finds Kuo Shao two people scuffled together, Kuo Shao's performance is too weak, he has been giving in, only getting angry and giving in immediately, the contradiction is very antagonism; Bank The emotional transformation part of the movie is actually very helpful to pave the way for the ending, but the performance will be better, and the characters are not struggling enough; the emotional transformation of the heroine is also very vague (and the prodigal son in the back is too embarrassing); the second supporting actress is a person who loves to perform It also didn't play out well when Dad was about to discover the secret. The characters are boring.
The plot doesn't even want to complain... There is no gradual escalation of chaotic contradictions. All I see is the leap forward and forcibly pulled back. I want to satirize school fees, but there is no so-called resistance, I want to talk about desire, but I want to put morality above it, so neither of them is well expressed.
It's just a youth educational film with a novel (and not so new) subject matter, and it doesn't deserve such high praise.
