The dog-tailed mink style is not satisfactory

"The Hangover 1" has a good reputation and won too many awards. It is of course necessary to shoot the second part. The "Hangover 2" that came out after a lot of calls does not seem to be bought by the audience. As the saying goes, the reason why a classic is a classic cannot be destroyed by a dog-tailed sequel, but this is a commercial society, and the film is also an era of commercial films, and the director cannot be forced to not make money.
If you are looking for highlights and gains from watching movies, maybe you can only say that you have experienced a mysterious Thai culture. The director arranged the sequel in Thailand. The same plot, the bridegroom dentist Stu held a bonfire party with friends the night before the wedding, and history repeats itself after waking up. But this time it was not Doug who was missing, but Stu's brother-in-law Teddy. Americans have a common feature when making films with oriental themes. They like to show the poorest and most backward. Stu and Phil wake up in a shabby and sultry room, which is in sharp contrast with the first luxurious suite. When oriental directors make their own films, they like to show the most modern and beautiful scenery. Looking at Thai movies, it is undoubtedly not the most vivid display of Thailand's beautiful scenery. This is also the gap between Eastern and Western cultures.
The film also invited boxing champion Tyson to help out. As a surprise guest, he arranged to sing at the wedding scene. It really surprised me again. The unexpected plot can be regarded as a little bit of caution by the director. I want to be the first. The similar plot has already allowed the audience to predict the end, but we did not expect to join us again.
The Chinese Naked Men’s Week in the first part is more lively and more stealthily in the second part, and the plot of the final arrest by the Interpol is even more speechless. But the scene is arranged in a roof garden with Thai characteristics, the scenery is nothing to say. Of course, there is also the coastal scenery with Thai characteristics. The director did not stingy with the camera, and showed it to the audience through a yacht. After watching it, there was an urge to experience it for himself.
Bangkok, Thailand through the lens of Todd Phillips, with 1,500 electricity stoppages a year, real Thai ladyboys, unscrupulous drug dealings, hiding places for international wanted criminals, street violence happening all day, crowded slums, in fact, this is another story. A version of Las Vegas, Sin City. The devout religious believers and their lifelong vows of silence add mystery to the film, especially the memory clips that Allen remembers in the meditation garden, which is the director's tribute to the mysterious Eastern culture.
