However, the setting that the male protagonist of this film is favored by women is not abrupt. Although the facial features are not exquisite, the hardware advantages of a tall and sturdy figure, firm skin, and a good life can still make up for the loss in the face to some extent. Of course, the most important thing is the outstanding performance of the protagonist in the software. Gigolo has the meaning of "little white face", but the male protagonist of this film is almost the opposite of the impression of little white face in our traditional concept - he is a man with texture. some attractive. Home skills like plumbing, repairing electrical circuits, and cooking make him feel warm and approachable. As his old buddy put it, "disgusting in a positive way", which is a sleazy, sloppy beauty unique to men. The pungent but seductive smell of "smelly" men; and the same "smelly" can work on male protagonists (but often the opposite effect on us diaosi) because of the man In addition to being stinky, he is also a melancholy mature man with a cultural background. He has read a lot of books, and occasionally jumps out a few Latin sentences. He is also good at arranging flowers. He is an uncle with a full range of literature and art. In short, this is a very high-quality Cowherd, so he can charge thousands at a time. Therefore, it can be realized by force. If the diaosi think that they are not as good as the male protagonist, they should calm down and read more books or do other things that can cultivate their temperament, even if they do not plan to go Cowherd is a promising career development, and these preparations may also reward us in the future in unexpected ways.
Another reason for the high price of the protagonist in the film is that he is not doing a simple business of flesh and blood. The ladies who come to patronize him value the spiritual enjoyment they get when they get along with him. He is like a prostitute in ancient times. When talking about brothels in Gao Xiaosong's "Xiaoshuo", he believed that the ancient literati loved to linger in the place of fireworks in order to experience the love that is difficult to obtain in the boring marriage life. In ancient times, men had more power, so they had a special business place to serve them and start a "love business". Since there is free love in modern society, there seems to be no need for such a land of wind and moon to exist. But people are always insatiable desires, and no perfect marriage and love can satisfy all human desires for love. Therefore, with the advancement of technology in the future, people may no longer have to live together in order to raise their offspring together, and the necessity of maintaining a single sexual partner will become less and less. It is very likely that "love" will become like "movie" again. , become a paid service provided by professional service personnel and enjoyed in a special venue.
The subject matter of this film may make male audiences have infinite reverie, but the actual scale is not large, and there are not many scenes that can provoke the lust of male audiences. This film can be regarded as a relatively pure cowherd story. The three female protagonists in this film are not very attractive to me either. Although Sofia Vergara has a hot body, her facial features are not my type. Sharon Stone seems to be a bit of a response to the word "color decay" in the title. There is a close-up of a naked back, which makes people unbearable to look directly, and his face is also aging. Fortunately, a pair of beautiful legs are still the same as before. Another heroine, Vanessa Paradis, looks a bit like the animated character Zombie Bride at first glance (no wonder fans), worthy of being Johnny Depp's ex, and the two really look like husband and wife. , unfortunately didn't make it to the end. Her literary atmosphere is highly consistent with her role and the overall style of the film, but the gap between her teeth is too stealthy (although I know that in the eyes of many fans who like her, this may happen to be her cuteness point).
The three heroines are not my type, so after looking around, I think Woody Allen is the most beautiful in the whole film. When I watched the trailer, it was because I saw him that I was instantly energized. At first I thought it was directed by him, but later found out that it was not, but the style is also very close to his work. It can be said that I only watched this movie for this little old man. He is not only the first "beauty" in the whole film, but also, unsurprisingly, the biggest highlight of the film. The tension between the slack facial muscles due to age and the strong desire to express makes his anxious and calm look when he chatters is very cute. This role is similar to the role he played in the movie "Love in Rome" that he directed the year before, both acting as an enthusiastic Bole. But this time, he is not only Bole, but also a cunning and greedy groom. His old friend John Turturro was pushed into the fire pit this time entirely to help the financially troubled him. But Woody Allen, a pimp, is not the kind of unscrupulous profiteer who only exploits and squeezes his subordinates. To be worthy of our high-quality Cowherd, pimps will certainly not be too low. It is also because there is a high-level and diligent pimp that they can always receive some high-quality customers who are generous and reasonable. If another unreliable person randomly asks the protagonist to pick up some customers like the wife of the county magistrate who went abroad to go shopping, the protagonist may lose enthusiasm for this industry after taking a few orders. So Woody Allen can also be regarded as a model pimp, or a model agent.
The male protagonist in the film is basically in a state of facial paralysis all the time, probably in order to show the noble and glamorous unique to high-quality people. The overall style of the film is also inclined to this kind of coldness. Except for the cute little old man Woody Allen, there is basically no performance or plot setting that caters to the audience. Any effort to get the audience interested. But maybe I'm a bitch, even though the director is so ignorant to us audiences, I still think the film looks pretty good overall.
