This story is about "Changing Faces".
Maybe it was from that time that everyone suddenly became obsessed with face changing, liked watching face changing, discussing the secrets of changing face, and worried about the loss of face changing.
In fact, since they have all been made into movies, there is no need to worry at all.
If you are worried, you should be worried about those folk arts that we have never seen before, right?
And if we haven't seen it, why worry? Worry not to come!
Let's go back to the movie itself.
This story couldn't be simpler.
An old artist who changed his face bought a boy, but he didn't expect it to be a girl, so the story tells the process of the two people from being unfamiliar to familiar.
It is rare that we still know how to make such a simple movie. For so many years, I have watched too many films with complicated plots, which are complicated to the point of hypocrisy for the needs of the plot.
The old artist, the girl, and the little monkey have become a unique family of three.
Coupled with many characters such as living Buddha, hotel owner, military officer, etc., the whole plot is logical.
Men and women, gender.
The stunt of changing face is passed on from men to women, and the tradition of emphasizing sons over women makes a girl understand the importance of "teapot mouth" from an early age. What's more interesting is that the person who plays the living Guanyin on the stage of Sichuan Opera is also a dignified man; although Guanyin can be both male and female, the Guanyin on the stage has always been a woman.
artist.
The face-changing king is good, and the actor is also good. How many people in the audience applauded, in the end it was still dedicated to entertainment. "Avalokitesvara" was performed wonderfully on the stage, but it was a bittersweet scene off the stage. Fortunately, the dog boy's jump finally rescued the face-changing king.
I like this film, not so much because of the "face change", but because of the film itself, which is crisp, simple, and direct, without unnecessary distractions and plots. The director obviously has a clear understanding of what he wants to shoot and express. . - This is the core of the film.
Speaking of flaws, maybe it's a bit far-fetched how Gouwa takes Tianci away from the clutches of human traffickers.
