The demands of the lonely

From the establishment of the wolves in the first part of Alen to the withdrawal of the wolves in the third part, the disbandment of the wolves was announced, and the whole farce came to an end.

Unlike the first and second part, the third part puts aside the "hangover" line and breaks away from the category of comedy films. It uses an old-fashioned blackmail kidnapping story to make a story for several characters in the entire series. Cut off. To be honest, I prefer the first two. The whimsical, bold and novel plot is more pleasing. And the third part is basically using Alen's pretending to be crazy and silly to make people laugh, which is really clumsy.

However, seeing the various performances and endings of the third alen, I found that this seemed to be deliberate by the director. Among them, there is an implicit meaning.

The role of alen is simply unreasonable. I have always disliked this crazy and naive way of funny, but he actually became the protagonist in the third part. Such an unpleasant guy saved everyone, found the love of his life and got married! Throughout the entire series, this Martian not only did not have bad luck, but was also taken care of by others everywhere. It was obviously the director's favoritism.

Thinking about it carefully, alen, a mentally disabled character, is a very lonely person. Because of his disability, no one cares about him when he grows up. It can be seen many times in the film how much he yearns for friends and desires to communicate. And his good fortune is actually the director expressing his sympathy for this kind of crowd. It is very likely to imply the director's personal experience, or the experience of people around the director.

There is another role that deepens my opinion, which is Zhou. This international thief is also a very lonely person, so the director is also very kind to him. He almost survived several times, was caught by the police and escaped. Then he became friends with alen who was also lonely. The friendship between these two crazy people makes people feel sad. Behind the incomprehensible behavior is deep loneliness.

As for the director’s story, I guessed it=.=I don’t understand

the connotation of this director, which gives a lot of points to the already wonderful film.
