Bring the right "Wrestle!" The laughter, tears and passionate anticipation in "Dad" are destined to be greatly disappointed when I look at "Women's Wrestling League". One word difference, heaven and earth. If wrestling is a normal game, then wrestling is more like a low-level entertainment performance that rehearses the character's movements in advance and determines the outcome of the game.
Just like the exaggerated and cheap entertainment conveyed by women with gorgeous tights and exaggerated makeup on the poster of "Women's Wrestling League", the entire women's wrestling show is to put an exaggerated and stereotyped label on each female wrestler. A flesh-and-blood soul is portrayed as "American Sweetheart", "Beirut Terrorist", "Evil Soviet", "Sexy Genius" and other characters to show off the sexiness of the flesh and the violence of the senses. In this labeling process, more consideration is given to the external conditions of the actor rather than the inner heart. The process of the game is also in accordance with the pre-rehearsed routines, which is extremely exaggerated. Expressions, voices, and movements seem to have to be displayed with the greatest amplitude.
Then the question is: Who would watch such a superficial entertainment show?
Women's wrestling programs were still very popular in the United States in the 1980s. The essence of this kind of show is like the same popular soap opera, simple
One-sided characters, contradictory conflicts, and exaggerated theatrical plots are used to incite the audience's emotions and make them cry and laugh, noisy and noisy following the plot. Why do people like to watch soap operas? Because although it is cheap and shallow, like drugs, it is easy to get sensory stimulation and indulgent pleasure.
So who are they performing these female wrestlers?
The heroine in the play is a depressed professional actress. She has participated in many performances in self-financed repertoires that make no money at all. How can an actress who pursue acting skills play the role of a female wrestler? There is nowhere to go. An actress who cannot accept a serious role is naturally not picky about the role due to her livelihood. In addition to the heroine, the other ten girls are also inexperienced or outdated actresses, all of whom can be called weird.
A group of actresses who have little choice in the hands of a B-rated film director starred in a wrestling film produced by an inexperienced playboy. This is the story of this film.
How is this story told? Unfortunately, like a cheap and shallow wrestling match, the story and characters are just as superficial and exaggerated. It is difficult to feel the sincere and sincere emotions of the characters from this story. On the contrary, the characters' stories and feelings will end hastily without development, leaving only a facial impression and routine plot. Have these female wrestlers grown up with the development of the plot? Maybe the script is written like this. But how can I not feel it?
Who would want to read such a story?
I regret it anyway.
