It's actually very simple. You don't have a specific evaluation system and standard. You only focus on the feeling that watching a movie can bring to you, or whether the movie can "move" you, so as to evaluate whether it is good or bad.
So you think, is this movie story finished? Did you make it through? Of course, the story is very smooth in the movie, and there is a perfect world view.
Is the actor performing well? Of course, the state of each performance is captured more accurately, and there are highlights of acting skills. There is no personal acting skills in the whole movie when pulling the hips.
Photography okay? It's not bad, the photography motif is very clear, the whole film is hand-held, and there is nothing wrong with the angle lens. That's enough to pass, right?
Now let's talk about the extra points
Are the main characters in this movie three-dimensional and plump? The heroine and the second female have a complete character arc. In the film, the brother-in-law has completed the character arc with a reversal death. Parents, staff members, husbands, husbands and fathers (bosses) all have their own character's activity trajectory. Although the degree of completion is not high, it is not rigid. The housekeeper, the role of the wedding planner is not well completed (to be honest, it is already very powerful)
Does the film have ideas or artistry? There are also acridine, a few slow motion processing, nude under blue light, it should be considered a bit artistic.
Got an idea for the cinematography scene? I think that stalking nudity scene on the balcony suffices to say.
Does the tone of the film fit the theme? Obviously yes, otherwise why would anyone insist on watching it.
Does the film present the theme (anxiety disorder) with depth? To be honest, this is one of the most in-depth films I have ever seen that presents melancholia. Not to mention the three characters (a female, a female, and a second brother-in-law), as small as the other supporting roles are not anxious presentations. Husband, the kind of cautiousness in facing his wife; his father-in-law (boss) is worried that the company's products will force the newly-married son's junior staff; the junior staff is worried about being fired by the boss and enters the society with a confused face; the mother is divorced and faced with love. Conflict; the father did not dare to face the hostess and ran away because of the divorce; the housekeeper, faced with the disrespect and class differences of the house owner; the wedding planner, destroyed by "others". It is said that every character here is in a state of melancholy, and the director also expressed that this state is unconscious, and in the end, these evil consequences are quietly passed on to the heroine; such a deep focus on description Melancholy is not a cow?
Okay, let's talk about it again, does this movie have scarcity? Of course, this is unique, and it is rare to write such a perfect movie about anxiety! It also added doomsday plots and sci-fi elements, and my own viewing of the movie has a bit of dark humor.
You feel that you can't understand or persist, or that this movie is a piece of shit, I can understand it very well, it should be because this movie does not focus on pleasing the audience. Instead, you need your own ideas or interests to understand depression and have your own thinking about depression. And the people who really watch Hi, roughly describe the state of mind, "Yes, the director is also a kind of anxiety, yes, this person's state is a bit like me before, have I dealt with this emotion well? I didn't expect the director to shoot this point, and this anxiety can be combined with the sci-fi worldview" and so on.
So, a movie that you can't watch is not necessarily a piece of shit, but more because you don't want to watch it. If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. It's not bad to watch something you like.
What I don't like about this movie is precisely what some people like. There are so many grand and compelling scenes in the opening. I feel depressed when I watch it, and I'm thinking, how can I pull back the reality itself and make it a reality? To be honest, I personally felt that the special was quite mediocre and did not satisfy me, but this does not prevent it from being a good movie.
