Who said a good guide?

After watching this film, my first sentence is: This must be a "director and director" film.
Look at the cast again, guess what? I was really wrong! ...But at least prove one point: Marcos Siega really doesn't have much talent for directors. Can't you just stylize it a little bit? In other words: the director gave up his rights.
How positive is the main theme of "Aviator"? Putting Martin Scorsese in your hands makes you feel that you should have some quirks of your own, otherwise it won't be a big deal. After all, the movie is about writing people. The director filmed the heroine in this way, giving the audience a sense of distance to the protagonist, and this sense of distance is not artistic (just boring). It is impossible for me to remember the protagonist. At best, I can only remember such a story.

Let's talk about music, except for the little playfulness of the title. There is really no shining point anymore. Some people praise this film for its cold and humorous temperament, and I do not object to it. But when it was "cold", the music couldn't get up... after all, it was almost meaningless.

PS. It is said that the screenwriter Skander Halim has already intended to direct it himself. As a result, Marcos Siega begged to persuade the producer, and he kept saying to Skander, "Never let anyone tamper with the script into a youth comedy." (Maybe even the threat of force was used. It is unknown.) Only then did I get the right to direct the film.
It is estimated that Skander is going to direct it, it must be much more literary than the one presented to us now.
This is why the film still has a tendency to rely on both art and commerce.
