Produced by Netflix and released yesterday on the Spanish network.
Creative movies must have an interesting enough idea: pretend to be mentally ill and fall in love with a mentally ill person.
This story is explained in one sentence: after the male protagonist falls in love at first sight or has a one-night stand with a mysterious and beautiful woman, in order to pursue her, he pretends that the patient is admitted to the mental hospital where the woman is, and launches various actions.
After listening to the above two points, usually the producer or producer is quite satisfied. Because of the dramatic conflict or comedy effect of this idea, it jumps off the screen, whether it is a deep drama or a romantic light comedy, it is good.
So, as a screenwriter, how did you choose?
The structure of the film:
The film is typically a three-act play:
Act 1: Begin a chance encounter - 00:00:00-00:14:03
Act 2: Process Action - 00:14:14-01:27:23
Act 3: End() - 01:27:24 - End.
But I found that it was not clear to talk about it, and I couldn't analyze the script very well. Therefore, I divided the film into segments in the form of cards, with rough pictures, sorry.
It is difficult to be embarrassed if the comedy or the part of the comedy is too happy or too sad. As far as the ending is concerned, the hesitation of the male protagonist is indeed a bit interesting, but it does not match the temperament of the whole film. If you want to be profound, just as I mentioned earlier As I said, dare to discard the eye-catching things that are bells and whistles, and start directly in the hospital. Through daily digging for missing characters, I can make deep senses with peace of mind, and use comedy elements boldly (the comedy part in this case is difficult to do), the overall The scent is definitely there. However, since you choose to do light comedy, you must give full play to the creative comedy part, but there are no more jokes to support the movie, and there are supporting roles such as male roommates that can retain the audience, especially the male roommate's touching father story , Many important foreshadowings have been given to this supporting role. Although the point of facing her own illness is the same as the expectation of the heroine, it will be more powerful for the heroine to complete it by herself (it is better to make it up), and it will be more conducive to showing the relationship between the hero and heroine. Relationships and mental states, if there is a theme, are also conducive to expressing the theme.
From analysis to analysis, on the whole, there are a lot of interesting points. The ending song of the episode "To Lie Alone" is good, and the soundtrack is okay. It's not a loss to watch it as a light comedy.
Regarding the adjustment, what I may say is not clear, here is a long-winded, casual chat:
Light comedy direction: You can let the female protagonist participate in the male protagonist's work, arrange some whimsical ideas, strengthen the interaction between the male and female protagonists, and let the audience know them better. In this case, the climax part will be changed, but it is in line with the original character arc. For example, the male protagonist does not want to be that kind of headline party anymore, and the previous complacency and stereotypes have been changed. The female protagonist knows herself better by participating in the male protagonist's work. , and the self in the eyes of others, arrange an imperfect, but both of them are satisfied with the life direction, the ending is a little more positive, and it is necessary to be sweeter.
In-depth plot direction: This is about to be changed. How to start is a big problem. For example, the male protagonist escapes from the hospital, or the roommate escapes from the hospital. The escape from the hospital ensures the compactness of the plot, or does the male protagonist help Marta to confess to the opening? The general idea is that in the process of the male protagonist helping other people, the audience gradually understands the male protagonist, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists should also be changed, and even a big burden can be buried: no one knows whether the male protagonist is mentally ill, and finally strengthen the theme by reversing? However, this plot will be divided into three major directions:
1. Humanistic care.
2. Think about the difference between ordinary people and mentally ill people, and the differences in some aspects, so as to achieve the effect of reflection and self-deprecation.
3. For a profound discussion about the true meaning of love, this ending can be left unchanged, and the previous plot can be changed. At the last moment when the male protagonist hesitates, the audience realizes that after a short period of superficial madness and enthusiasm, they will continue to face tomorrow. life, will never be together again, a little sad. Why is this not the end of a nostalgic nostalgia for the short-lived madness? It used to be difficult for the sea to become water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, I can explain it.
