An amazing start, a boring farce

This film belongs to the kind of model drama of the American industrialization pipeline. There is a fixed plot and a fixed pattern. A magical artifact appeared, and it had a great impact on the life of the hero and the hero. The hero and the hero suddenly drifted away, and then slowly lost the true meaning of life. In the end, the two abandon the supernatural abilities or objects they acquired, and live a happy and not ashamed life. The so-called plain is true. . .

What life remote control, fake gods, etc., including this film are actually taken this way.

The film actually has a pretty amazing beginning (generally, the beginning of this kind of film is okay). The male protagonist is lazy and unproactive and has a passing time. The female protagonist never wears clothes well, and his heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner. And this difference in personality determines the different attitudes of male and female owners towards brass teapots. The female protagonist is the first to take over the brass teapot. He is the hawk among the husband and wife. He hopes to use the function of the teapot to completely change his own destiny. The male protagonist seems to maintain a relative comparison with the teapot until the end. Calm and rational mind.

I think this kind of setting is quite good. The plot has always been based on the character of the characters, combined with this magical artifact, and derives many stories. Moreover, the male and female protagonists are familiar faces of Chinese audiences, with the sideball factor of the film, and the comedy sense of the nouveau riche who disdain to spend money on anything. . . The overall atmosphere of this film is quite relaxed.

But in terms of details, this is not a meticulously crafted movie. The brass teapot, a prop without any cultural background, always gives me a sense of acting.

Maybe the shape is too unique. The creator didn't give any information about the brass teapot. The male protagonist asked about the origin of the teapot, but the Chinese master of mysticism has always answered the wrong questions.

It is said in the movie that the Nazis also used this teapot. . . . What I am curious about is when the Nazis used the teapot, the banknote that came out of the teapot was the German mark? Or USD cash? So this teapot also has the function of automatically insight into mainstream currencies?

I always doubted the possibility of the hostess stealing the teapot from the previous owner. In the film, the heroine is inseparable with the brass teapot (according to the setting of the film, it should be the same), so why can the heroine easily get this treasure in the hands of the old lady?

In the film, the two characters, the old lady and grandson, are still outstanding at first. Their motives are very clear, that is, let the male and female leaders become cows who contribute milk, and they sit back and enjoy their achievements. But when the teapot was stolen by the ex-boyfriend at the end, the plot was far beyond the master's control (it couldn't be edited anymore), so they arranged for the old lady, grandson and ex-boyfriend to have a fight, and eventually both died. . .

I still believe that human nature is evil. If you really let the heroine's evil character develop, or even kill the hero, and make it a tragic ending, I think it's a bit eclectic and wonderful. The final happy ending, on the one hand is vulgarity, on the other hand is the face of the secretive master of mysticism piapia ---

Didn't you keep saying that there is no rescue, my old lady, this TM is safely docked! !

The Brass Teapot quotes

  • Alice: There is nothing evil about wanting more.

  • John: Let's review. He has at least two guns, probably a collection of knives - including the kind that curves like it was designed specifically for cutting out the entrails of smaller men with a better developed sense of humor.
