Many people disagree with or deny that such a movie I admire is in China. I often see comments like "a purely commercial film", "a typical low-cost and high-recycling film", and "such a crap!" However, it is absolutely no coincidence that a movie that only relies on three vulgarities, carnivals, and Las Vegas gimmicks will be released in many countries in Europe and America for several weeks. So there are big idlers like me digging into the deep meaning or symbolic meaning of this kind of comedy. Everyone knows that Chaplin's comedy art has a higher aesthetic form of expression and social connotation. Chaplin tries to reproduce human nature. He always promotes social harmony while laughing and swearing, and he is concerned about the political ills of the people. of. We know that "Domestic Leaching Paint" is actually a political film. "The Graduate" has revealed a cold truth to the world. Why can't we interpret "The Hangover" in the same way?
"The four wolves of us ran in the desert of Las Vegas, looking for strip girls and cocoa..." Although Allen said so, he is the only protagonist of the movie. Without him, there would be no carnival, let alone without him. Needless to say about this film. In Western culture, "bachelor parties" are often regarded as different longitudinal sections on the same cross-section of the end. You are constantly getting to know and learning before the age of 20, to discover your potential and find a suitable foothold for yourself. Decades may be as busy as Tetris spinning non-stop, but in the end it still falls into a place that does not belong to you. Allen provides us with an attitude to face this reality: refuse to grow. This is the theme of "The Hangover". In the first part, Allen uses all kinds of idiots to tell the audience that he is still a child, and in the second part, he repeated it in the same way. Phil also said: "Don't look at him with a beard, he is not very old." According to the third-rate method of traditional film reviews, after we find the theme, we will start to demonstrate and explain it in various details. In the second part, there is a flashback of Ellen. The kid version of Ellen’s group was drunk and died on the street. All his memories have been tampered with by his self. This clearly tells the audience Ai Lun has always lived in the world of children. Think about it every time you feel a change in your surroundings, you have an inexplicable sense of loss, because you don't want to change at all. To refuse change is to refuse to grow. The babies in No. 1 and the monkeys in No. 2 both represent the most innocent intentions of human beings, but they are all forcibly imprinted on the adult world by the outside world: Allen holds the baby’s small hand as a jet fighter, and the monkey smokes a cigarette and sells drugs. . This creates a kind of dislocation, children do what adults do as if everything is forced to accept. Then the audience with a little bit of background will freeze the remaining smiles on their faces and then slowly disappear in an imperceptible way, because they have already felt the theme that the director wants to convey: each of us is being forced to grow and resist It is so powerless again. Another cruel fact.
I think of a sentence long ago: Life is like being raped. If you can't resist, you must learn to enjoy it. Allen and the gang really enjoyed it. They forgot the hangover in a way beyond tacit understanding, and recorded it forever in an extreme way (Stu had his teeth and tattoos), and the theme seemed to become more cruel: "Definitely Learn to enjoy". It's another comedy that tells the pain of life, smiling and revealing your most painful scars. I think this way of expression can't be more appropriate, because in the end you still have to learn to "enjoy." But we are at an age where we must fight to the death. At this time, the theme has been sublimated, and if it were a little more traditional film review, it would be almost finished.
Some people laugh at the end of the movie, others say trash after they laugh at the movie, and another group of people can see the different connotations from the dirty jokes. So I say that the success of "The Hangover" is definitely not accidental. This kind of teasing about modern life is like developing your back and suffering to death.
