Bella: Walking and chatting without center of gravity...

The good reputation in the market (really limited to the market, just look at the difference between IMDB and RT Rating) helped the film maintain its resilience in the US box office, and finally achieved a good result of more than 8 million US dollars. The story tells that Nina, a waitress in a restaurant, was fired for being late repeatedly. Out of sympathy, the male chef Jose invited her to travel with her. Their journeys occupies the main part of the movie, but the results are not as fresh and pleasant as expected. The most distracting thing is that Jose's entangled painful past, which can't make sense in legal and rational terms, and feels a little bit guilty. Moreover, this kind of "abandon the past and face the future" takes a long time to highlight the protagonist's mental journey, which is obviously not suitable for a movie where most of the plot takes place within a day.

The movie’s slogan: One Day Can Change Your Life. really overestimates the influence of "One Day." The two protagonists often have tears in their eyes and frowns, but the audience has limited knowledge of their life background (Jose and Nina themselves do not know well), relying on words and rumours, it is difficult to understand, but sentimentality makes people feel bored. Coupled with the manic boss who keeps verbalizing at each other, even Jose's parents are unreasonable reprimands, which is really disgusting.

As the plot continues to develop, the wrong version is even more discovered. Whether it’s the actor’s past, the heroine’s hesitation in the face of her belly, or even later visits to the actor’s family, all plot dialogues revolve around the issue of abortion and foster care, just like this movie. It's just a propaganda machine created to oppose abortion. Regarding the method of film distribution in Hong Kong, it not only invites pastors to comment on the film, but also provides group charters...all of these confirm my inference: this is basically a Christian propaganda film. Different from ordinary gospel movies, "Beauty·Life" is not intended to promote or show the message of "God loves the world", to influence the audience spiritually, and to guide people to believe in religion; it is like a brainwashing course to promote dogma, in 90 minutes I kept saying in the ears of readers: "Don't have an abortion, don't have an abortion..." This even overshadowed the most basic and primitive motives of each movie at the beginning of filming-to make a good show.

As a non-believers, "Beauty·Life" really has no viewing value at all.

Rating: 3/10
