is the first time I went to the Xintiandi UME Cinema, probably because it was a weekend, and it was located in a location like Xintiandi. The attendance rate was at least 50%. What impact does the movie have, and there is no commentary soundtrack that is full of lengths. There is a loss of voice and another part of the screen wrong screen, and no one protests loudly, which makes me have to admire the audience who went to Xintiandi to watch the film that day. The quality, because it can make me feel boring after watching a movie, it is already quite boring. The quality of the projection, subtitles, etc. are also SO SO, but I feel that the hardware of Xintiandi is obviously inferior to that of Yonghua.
I admit that the reason why I am so disappointed in this film is inseparable from the introduction in the film manual. If you just read the introduction of the manual, you will think that this is a Bernini-style exaggerated joy for all ages. Comedy works, and the introduction of a rooster bigger than an ostrich, money raining in the sky, and a beautiful woman roaming the milk river together have all appeared, but under the bland narration and shooting techniques of the whole film, they did not let the occasional superheroes. The feeling of realism is more of a superfluous feeling. The whole film is almost boring from the beginning to the end, only a few clips make the muscles that control the laughing nerve twitch a little. When I came back and read the manual, I found that this film is classified as "alternative". Coldplay" rather than "comedy" or something.
In fact, the plot of the whole story is quite simple. It is a story about an ITALY immigrating to the United States with his family under the so-called will of God, and going through hardships along the way. Another ITALY film, L'AMERICA, directed by Amelio, was released by BB, but it should not be difficult to make something new or at least make people enjoy watching the movie. But the problem lies on the director's side I want to shoot something new, but on the other hand, the filming method seems too plain, maybe I don’t want to make the film look too commercial. But even after watching it, I really don’t think the director wants to express through this film. What a unique point of view. The movie seems to want to tell the audience that the American dream is not perfect, the process of pursuit is full of ups and downs and hardships, and even sacrifices one's beliefs, suffers the pain of separation, etc., so whether to enter this The golden gate is worth thinking about. And don't they know enough about them?
Maybe people who have watched this film with me will have a similar feeling. When the storyline in the first half of the film is in a slow and lengthy rhythm, I always think that there may be twists and turns in the back and sudden waves, but Until the end credits were played, there was no excitement that was expected. The story has been going on flatly and straightforwardly, and the burden that shakes out at the end of the film also makes people feel unclear. Of course, once again, I have to mention the seriously misleading introduction in the film catalogue, because it clearly states that "this film fully shows the romance and comicality of the Italians". But to be honest, even two full hours were spent in the process of enduring the film's procrastination and lackluster jokes, while being unwilling and full of expectations. If I had told me from the beginning that this was a pure literary film that made me feel like I had something to say but actually had nothing to say, I would have recognized it, but......
Of course, the movie is not completely lackluster, at least there is a British beauty who is more pleasing to the eye, and the original unshaven male protagonist has a new look after shaving his beard, which also makes people feel refreshed while watching the movie. In addition, such a modern film released last year did not use any dazzling special effects, but was shot in an extremely realistic way, which is also a relatively rare thing. But on the whole, I think this film can only be said to be a mediocre work, and it seems to reflect the declining status quo of ITALY's modern film that once created new realism. Missing the golden age of ITALY movies
