[Tangshan Earthquake] The level of film technology is an incomparably time-travel TV series + CCTV news documentary program. The climax is in the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes, and people are speechless in the middle. After N years, no one will remember the most impressive scene in this movie, because too many characters and plots are set in vain, appearing and disappearing are inexplicable, the two parallel lines are not well described, and the time periods are well connected. There is no logic. It's impossible not to cry, but it's hard to admit how good a movie it is.
The name is commercial and the main theme, and the placement of advertisements is shameless. Driving a BMW in 1995 and wearing KAPPA? Jian Nanchun has been drinking for thirty years? My God, people can't be so shameless. This is not If You Are the One, what a serious topic this is, discussing human nature, and as a result, holding an iPhone and flipping through family photos, can you make the audience not laugh? Attention has been diverted long ago, and everyone can't wait to take out their IPHONE and make a gesture.
In terms of character settings, such as Lu Yi, although the casting is too good, it is too in line with his temperament that he will never rest, I can only silently praise how he still looks like a college student, no wonder it is unbearable to play Zhuge Liang, too tender , tender to collapse. But how necessary is his existence? If it wasn't for Huayi who had to show his face, he wouldn't need to explain this part of the plot, and he didn't need to be arranged to go abroad for no reason. It's really like the situation in American dramas that let the actor go or die if he doesn't want him to act.
In a movie, every line and every plot is not put there for nothing, it definitely contains the intentions of the director or screenwriter. For example, Peng Haoxiang can put his own dry ice habit on the screen, and Feng Xiaogang has the ability to say "everything that comes out of college is trash". One can't be so shameless that two children can't learn anything, one of them dropped out of school after getting pregnant and then married a foreigner, and the other went out and became a rich man. What kind of values are you transmitting, Director Feng! ——Although it is extreme to say this, even if you make both children educated in the plot setting, it is too red education. But who believes that a Chinese does not go home once in a few years for Chinese New Year? People can't be so shameless.
You can't just inexplicably preach at the end of the film that the Tangshan government spent 24W to build a memorial wall to commemorate the people who died in 24W. The government doesn't need you to thank you. The government should do this. It was too late to do this in 2008. 24W, how insignificant compared to spending tens of billions to organize a conference. Your intentions in making this film make you wonder if you are continuing to please the people of Zhejiang in If You Are the One. Most of the scenes were shot in places so far away from the subject as Hangzhou, or even in Canada. Is it really necessary for her to marry a foreigner?
After watching the earthquake, Tangshan will become a tourist attraction like Hokkaido, who knows. To borrow such a subject, tell a story that is far off topic, and not well told. Although not as shameless as [Nanjing! Nanjing! ] The values are so chaotic, the plot is so messed up, the actors are so messed up, and the scars of the Nanjing people are exposed. It's no wonder that when watching a movie, the old Nanjing man would leave the venue angrily. After watching the big earthquake, my colleague took a deep breath. Fortunately, he didn't bring his own children to see it, otherwise he would be mentally disabled.
To sum up, Feng Xiaogang is an extremely superficial director, who borrowed the light of Wang Shuo and others to start his career, and made movies that are rogues and please people from all walks of life. Among his films that have been popular all over the New Year's Eve over the years, [Big Shot] is amazing, [Assembly Number] has won the [Name], and [Mobile Phone] is just right. For the rest, forget it, it's hard to become a master. Turning movies into commercial highlights is getting more and more disgusting.
Only experts would say that this film is the culmination of China's recent realism themes, and a sign that Chinese films have moved from realism to modernity.
Expert, have you bought Jiannanchun's stock and waited for it to go up?
