"Entanglement": The people need a farce

On the North American box office charts, "Entangled" once topped the list of bad reviews. I don't know if Steve Hill (who is said to be a TV director) who directed the film for the first time is happy or sad. However, the problem is still to be divided into two.

The cost of "Entangled" was only 20 million US dollars, and the box office revenue for three days was 28.5 million US dollars. It took the book back in only three days, and it must be a profitable business in the future. Even if the reputation is poor, "at least there is you."

The reason for allowing the audience to enter the theater, apart from this passionate season, the appeal of Beyoncé, the queen of Grammys, cannot be underestimated, just like how many fans of Jay Chou play a movie are rushing to the movie. Besides, the sexy goddess Ali Larter's undressing performance has a few boys stretched out. haha. Since the positioning is a thriller drama, these potential positive factors must be taken into consideration. But film is a comprehensive art after all. In addition to the homework mentioned above, the plot itself is also an important weight for attracting money.

Speaking of the plot, this should be the crux of "Entanglement" that makes people "love and hate". Extramarital affairs, mistresses, and small three are topics that people all over the world talk about. Because this topic is very entertaining, even if these things are regarded as scandals, their entertainment function is not reduced in the slightest. At the moment, the financial crisis is still going on, and all walks of life are still in vain, and this kind of "topic" movies are just in the ascendant. In addition to entertainment, there are a small number of people who go to the cinema to find answers. Maybe they are in a situation like this. Of course, they may also want to plan ahead.
Entertainment stars and entertainment "topics" will cost 30 million US dollars in three days, which shows how much people need entertainment (there is no derogatory meaning here). As for the bad reviews of film critics, how many people in the audience will watch it. Even if someone has read the comments and weighed between entertainment pleasure and malicious comments, they still can't help but want to see how the "chocolate" color Beyoncé fought against the mistress. In many cases, there is a contradiction between negative reviews and the box office, especially in the early stage of the movie's release.

After the box office climax, the audience's evaluation of the movie really illustrates the reputation of a movie. At present, the audience rating of "Entangled" in IMDB is 3.7 points (out of 10 points). I think that when the schedule is over, the score may be lower. The reason is the plot.

The plot of the movie can be regarded as a popular drama. Derek, who has a successful career, has a happy family, but unexpectedly encounters Lisa, the temporary secretary of work, in the work unit. The plot develops to this point, it is purely reasonable, a successful man will inevitably have an admirer. But the next story will surprise the audience, and Lisa can be said to have no compromises in order to get Derek. At first, it was unsuccessful to seduce Derek with hue, then secretly sed the aphrodisiac in Derek's wine, and then confuse Derek and his wife with colleagues. These methods seem to be a complete conspiracy. What's more, in the end he went to Derek's house and fiddled with it. The director may want to portray a woman who is crazy about love, but in the movie Lisa becomes a crazy conspirator. It caused me extreme discomfort while watching the movie.

The fight between "lunatic" Lisa and his wife Sharon at the end of the film will surely make many audiences feel "relieved", but it also turns the movie into a farce.
