rotten, rotten, basically rotten

Basically rotten.

Bad characterization: Two protagonists, behaving strangely. The feeling of emotional development is not a matter of course, it basically belongs to the director shouting to the audience with a loudspeaker: "The hero and heroine are going to love each other!" The audience yawned and replied: "Okay, I know...". And the crazy love of the supporting actress, I'm really stumped. It turns out that there is really unprovoked love, and love is so perverted. Rich man, scientist. . . Who will break down which image in this film is well-shaped?

Comedy sucks: If I'm not mistaken, this is a comedy, right? Don't criticize laughter and vulgarity, everyone is happy, and it's vulgar when it's clear. But the audience really amused only two times. The whole article looks like the Spring Festival Gala - a whole middle school student is suffocating the proposition composition - insisting on the theme of environmental protection.

Bad drama conflict: The worst of the whole film is here, the theme sucks. Two more words on this. I'm not saying that the theme of environmental protection is bad, but the director is bad. Is the contradiction of environmental protection the contradiction between the inflated greed of the capitalists and the increasingly damaged environment? Could it be any more superficial? As soon as this question is broken wrong, the depth of the hard pull is not superficial. Not to mention the environmental protection intentions or ideas of the capitalists themselves, we have completely eliminated this human nature. Does capital itself love environmental protection or pollution? What do capital management do? Capital is profit-seeking. Pollution can make a profit. Isn’t environmental protection also a business? Isn’t Europe and the United States where capitalists are all green mountains and beautiful waters? Could it be because foreign capitalists are not greedy and conscience?
Where is the fundamental environmental problem? Unbalanced development—the contradiction between developed countries and backward countries; in population—the contradiction between environmental carrying capacity and global population; in science and technology—the inability of environmentally friendly technologies to keep up with social needs.
Environmental issues are related to everyone and everyone's way of life. But in this film, the capitalists are simply given a big hat, as if killing all the black-hearted capitalists would solve the problem. Speechless, speechless.
