"The Story of the Second Wife" was mistaken in Hong Kong as the choice of the most fashionable "influencers" or "Lolita" fans. People's congresses who are not from these two groups have the opportunity to deter exaggerated and unique packaging.


The fact is that the film shows the Japanese juvenile culture and "Lolita" culture that some young people are interested in. It also has a unique comic sensation, unconventional playful shooting style, and various sweet elements hidden in the above. Underneath, the journey of returning to the basics to explore the meaning of life is the most fascinating part of this film.


The author tries to evaluate the film’s stupidity based on the personal criteria of movie-watching likes and dislikes.


The creative depth and breadth of the

film. The film uses advertising-style twisting metaphors and exaggerated comics to create a young and frivolous atmosphere and story; it is refreshing in the series of non-conventional narratives and shooting. At the same time, it reminds the audience to remember the multiple possibilities of film creation. Its overflowing creativity bursts out a kind of appeal, for those who are committed to disturbing creation, they really have to go to the theater to observe and observe.


The atmosphere of the film is created.

This film did not deliberately use ordinary methods such as sound effects and editing to create an atmosphere of conflict and tension, but it uses actors, costumes, props and composition to construct a complete and unified atmosphere that is as open as the day. This move makes it easy for the audience to withdraw from reality and happily participate in the movie, which makes it feel like a playful nonsense.


The plot of the

movie begins when Momoko, played by Fukada, was hit by a truck in the air while driving a motorcycle. Facing death, Taozi recalled the past. Momoko's life experience, "Rococo" outlook on life, "Lolita" fascination with costumes, etc. are smoothly explained in the hearts of the audience. The movie succeeded in making the audience very interested in Taozi and then slowly narrated the acquaintance of Taozi and Aberry until the moment when Taozi was knocked down by a truck. The speculation that Taozi was dead or alive after being hit by a car has suspended most of the movies. After gathering enough emotional investment, with unexpected results, it created a major reversal after Taozi's car accident and the next climax ending. From this, it can be seen that this movie has a meticulous and solid screenwriter under the appearance of exaggeration, and this alone is a surprise.


The theme of the movie

At this point, I believe no one thinks that this film is a set of gimmicks and gimmicks. Then the author will share the subjective connotation thoughts. The packaging of this film is clearly aimed at the young people's market, and of course, it is our generation of young people that this film focuses on. Don't think that this film uses "Lolita" fans as the referent. This is just an extreme example of young people's ego, hedonism, and escape from facing the real world. This can be confirmed by the film’s connection of "Lolita" costumes and "Rococo" realism. The film is based on this young people's atmosphere, and makes dramatic exaggerations to visually show the young people's journey of exploring the meaning of their lives. Young people always face a lonely time before entering a new stage of life. This is a necessary space for people to reflect on themselves for further growth. The situation is like the situation before Peach accepts Aberry. And in this period of extremely contradictory, on the road of chasing the unknown direction of life, we may all encounter fellow travelers like A Berry like a peach, influencing and inspiring each other, so that the last two of the film can be separated. The ending is the same.


In addition, the director Tetsu Nakajima, who was originally a filmmaker, also added the subtitle of a mockery of commercial behavior in the film. For example, "Everyone also goes to Jusco" or "Fakes can become a trend" unexpectedly let people smell the director's irony about the trend of commercial advertising.


Finally, to summarize the whole film, "The Story of Xia Wife" is a set of creative comedy that is exquisitely packaged and explored with good connotations. The atmosphere, theme and creativity of the whole film are all high-level performances. The only flaw in the film may be that the relationship between Taozi and Aberry is slightly prolonged in the later part of the film, which damages the original sense of refreshment and smoothness.
