If you want to make something with a light taste, the most important thing is to keep its naturalness. Like the papaya, you need to use fresh things picked from the tree, not the ingenious jade papaya carefully carved by an artisan-beauty is beautiful. It's crystal clear but the meaning is obvious, and it's completely twisted - Chen Yingying obviously knows this, so let the key papaya monkey go to the tree.
It's a pity that Xiao Chen's skills are limited, and the result is that he has accumulated too much energy to do simple things! From the beginning to the end, it's too pretentious. From the camera, the set, the music to the performance and the story itself - I don't want to comment on this story. In fact, it is the kind of material that Aunt Qiongyao is best at. It's just that Aunt Qiongyao sometimes uses Ma Jingtao's fiery passion and Liu Xuehua. It is like a turbulent stream of tears to express, and Xiao Chen uses the so-called tranquility that is deliberately not released with a dark energy to tell it.
There is a kind of evaluation that is a bit malicious speculation and made under the name of "deliberately cater to the appetite of Westerners" or "fabrication of a Westerner's cultural imagination", but watching this film, you really can't help but feel an uncomfortable feeling: Xiao Chen is begging and sculpting a surreal Vietnam that did not exist in the 1950s and even now, and a delicate and artificial "Oriental love" - of course, people who know it know Xiao Chen as a "Vietnamese" In fact, since he was 14 years old, he has been living in Paris, which is full of romantic imagination. He has no choice but to romantically imagine the East.
Both romance and imagination are right, the key is to look at the skills and skills of "cooking". Like Japan's "April Story" and South Korea's "Spring Die", the light products are all used to take the feeling route that looks like "Let it be" - including its story and ending, weaving the loose meaning of "Let it be". The strength of careful "cooking" should be minimized and hidden as much as possible.
Of course, this is only Xiao Chen's debut work after all - but fortunately, his illusory picture and the illusory oriental picture of the French and even the Americans came from the same shot and obtained it in France. A good harvest is a matter of course lucky!
