Even the best content needs a cover

A good film that combines deep themes with cinematic humor.

The movie starts with the male protagonist, but starts the narrative with the female protagonist as the line. The beginning of a few minutes of Bollywood-style love is a bit inexplicable.

But when the male and female protagonists meet, the main part of the story is ushered in. The description of the life of aliens on earth through flashbacks is interesting, warm and reflective, which is really great. After that, the hero and heroine fought against religious leaders, which was exciting but not amazing. The climax of the story is that the misunderstanding between the virgin protagonist and her boyfriend is solved unexpectedly, but it is reasonable. Another highlight. At the end, the needless love is used as the embellishment of the whole film, which does not show any drag and only gives the whole film a warm color. Life can't always be so ups and downs. When everything is calm, the lovers around you are the objects that should be cherished. In addition, the baby's dubbing is too recognizable, playful, but funny. A sense of contradiction arises spontaneously.

Throughout the main line of the whole film, except for love and human nature, the discussion about religion should be the biggest theme. The subject of religion is a serious subject that can no longer be serious, but the whole play uses the perspective of aliens to look at all this, using the theory of "wrong call" to question religion, and cover the serious subject in Mona Li. With Sha's smile, she directly challenged commercial religion from a more acceptable angle, which is really impressive for the screenwriter's whimsy.

In contrast to domestic films, there has been a very strange phenomenon in recent years. Box office and word-of-mouth, or box office and awards are almost out of sync. The factors that determine word-of-mouth or awards are nothing more than a good story, a good theme, a good shooting technique, a good cast and the support of a good team. The factors that determine the box office are much simpler: first, there is resonance, and second, it is interesting.

From my personal point of view, although movies have a higher configuration than TV dramas and variety shows, they are still a member of the 'entertainment circle' in the final analysis. In other words, the audience is the only criterion for the development and direction of the movie industry. . Why are some so-called blockbusters not so good at the final box office? Personally, I don't think there is really a 'good' story. In terms of box office alone, a good story told by a good movie should be supported by both a profound theme and an interesting storyline. The question is, it’s all education. Do children prefer the serious education of textbooks, or do they prefer the little philosophy contained in fairy tales? Of course, some people prefer Xinhua Dictionary to One Thousand and One Nights. It's not that I deny the achievements of many movies with high reputation nowadays, but I don't like some remarks that blame Chinese audiences for their low taste and do not know how to appreciate them. I believe that most audiences don't spend money to go to the cinema on weekends to listen to education.

No matter how good the connotation is, it needs a cover, and no matter how good the movie is, please give us a reason to enter the cinema.

PK quotes

  • Jagat Janani: What is your name?

    P.K.: I don't have any name. But i don't know why people called me PK... Pk...

  • P.K.: Which god should I believe? You all say that, it's only one god. I say, no... there are two gods. One is the one who created us all. The other one is the one created by people like you. We know nothing about the god who made us all. But the god people like you made is exactly like you... liar, pretend to act, giving false promises, meeting rich people sooner, letting the poor neglected, happy when get praised... People are afraid to even say a word. My right number is very simple, the God who created us all, put faith in Him. And the god like you created, the duplicate god, destroy it.
