It is a completely different film from Sansha. In addition to the technical excellence of Sansha, the smooth theme of the storyline is clearly pleasing and touching.
But this film, as the introduction said, friendship, love, life, politics, sports... There are too many things mixed in, and these things are very superficial and not clever, like a hodgepodge. Color music is acceptable, and the story development is fluent, but what do you want to illustrate?
Friendship is a relatively clear theme, but the three people’s contribution to friendship is not balanced. Can I say that the final result is self-inflicted? It is the inevitable result of development.
The only love story was cowardly and understatement, and I didn't see what role this love played in the development of the story. In fact, the removal of this love has no effect on the story at all.
In life, the positions of the three people are not wrong, but it is a pity that reality collapses one of them's world, so the other person's life will be lost. A person who is struggling to pursue a passion that he loves is cut off by others, and a person who is forced to fall into it and destroys his family. Only the person who is indifferent and rational as if forever staying out of the matter begins to rise. So what do you want to convey? Shouldn't it convey positive meaning?
politics. Politics is a very absurd thing. The various behaviors presented in the story in political events, especially the last part, are even more ridiculous-no matter which side it is. Although the attacker's behavior is irrational, the defender's behavior is even more stupid and thorough! How can there be a politician who is waiting for someone to slash? Where did the previous aura go? Don't play politics if you are such a fool! Harming others and harming yourself!
physical education. Did not explain Ishan's cricket history, he was abruptly powerful, and the so-called sports seed was dull and lacking the slightest character. Oh, wrong, people have character. People's hobby is to play marbles, so I don't want to practice cricket in order to play marbles! Details like this are meaningless!
A movie is not a TV series. Every screen and every line of the movie must convey the theme of the movie, it must be refined and accurate, and it must be meaningful! And the plot and pictures of this film can be deleted more or less, because they have minimal impact on the story! The character description is clear, but it tells us why? Some foreshadowing, will changing the plot be more conducive to the audience's understanding?
The most important point is: the theme! Please tell me what you want to express! It does not necessarily need to be positive, but you must tell us what it is and why! This is the meaning of the movie.
Sansha is a good film, but it does not mean that this film, which is also an adaptation of the original work by the author of Sansha, will also be a good film. Of course, I haven't read the original work, and I don't comment on the original work. It may also be that the original work is very exciting but the content is too large and the director's skill is too weak to be accurately presented.
Three points is the story color is good, the music is acceptable, and the story goes smoothly. But only these points can not be a good film.
