The story of "Bridesmaids" looks very simple, but it is actually much more complicated than I thought. The movie is character-centric and makes a big fuss about the personalities of several people. In fact, the film is just to bring the group of women to the table. Helen, a perfect housewife, rich, connected, noble and beautiful - she became the chief object of Anne's jealousy. So, the movie is leaning more and more toward how to make a comedy movie based on a socially meaningful foundation, and that's a movie that money can explain.
In the name of Judd Apatow, does everyone think this is a movie about shit? Not so. The story begins with a woman named Annie and a group of women preparing for the wedding of their mutual best friend. This woman named Annie is not a sweet girl like Meg Ryan, nor is she a silly big sister like Sandra Bullock, she is a complete loser, her work depends on her mother's relief, what is love? nothing. She is cynical and passive, and when she is with her friends' bridesmaids, her jealousy is magnified infinitely, and the whole story unfolds. Facing the marriage of her best friend, Annie saw a noble and generous Helen, and this woman was very likely to snatch her only "wealth" - a good friend from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, we have seen a completely different comedy mode in the movie. Its laughter may not be as crazy as the "bad boy gang". It shows the living state of women under an unbearable pressure. You Will smile knowingly, but feel very sad.
Women are always weak, and in the era of patriarchy, they have become accessories. Annie has a handsome buddy. Whenever she spends a good night with this man in a luxurious villa, this man always turns her away, and she only expects a few words from this man's mouth. A cheap compliment. This is the essence of "Bridesmaids". She assembled the friendship between women through a wedding, and comparison and jealousy became the center of their friendship. At this time, we see something about life. We are always against life, we may be defeated by life, but we must not be crushed by life. "Bridesmaids" thus amplifies the whole story to a real level, so it doesn't seem conventional, and even after the laughter, you'll have a tear or two shed.
In fact, the film also revolves around the comparison between Annie and Helen. This is a competition between two social class women, and in the end, Annie ends in disgrace. Repeated failures made Annie lose the ability to fight with life in an instant. When she returned home, she could only cry in front of the TV. At this time, the farce atmosphere of "Bridesmaids" was instantly reduced, and it returned to a real problem that everyone has to face. Ok! In the end the bride goes missing, which is a bit similar to The Hangover. But the essence is absolutely different. The disappearance of "The Hangover" is entirely due to alcohol; but "Bridesmaids" is once again based on reality at this moment. It turned out that facing the wedding planned by Helen, the bride could not afford the cost at all. It is a return, returning to a most simple origin. It turned out that none of us were abandoned by life. We were all thrown together by the petty temper played by life. We couldn’t hold it any longer, and we found out that it was all self-inflicted.
Anyone who likes to watch "Saturday Night Live" will not be unfamiliar with the film's starring Kristen Wiig, who likes to go crazy on TV. But when it comes to "Bridesmaids", we can see a trace of the most human side in her performance. The very calm performance reveals the sadness of the characters from her acerbic words and sometimes exaggerated body language, depicting The heartache of a middle-aged woman makes the direction of the movie more obvious, which brings Kristen Wiig a big step closer to next year's Golden Globes.
"Bridesmaids" is really still a relatively small movie. Compared with "The Hangover", it looks very calm, but the realism is hidden in it to make it look very real, woman! Jealousy is inevitable. As long as you are not crushed by life, whatever she has may be transformed into another way to get her. So "Bridesmaids" is really good.
