How empty, how unreal, how beautiful

In recent years, romance movies seem to have been affected by changes in public tastes, and they have begun to develop in the direction of adult comedies. The romantic and aesthetic model dramas in the early years have long disappeared, and they have become careless and silly big sisters shouting f word harvest Or a story that didn't harvest love (Huh? It doesn't seem like there is any change in this way?). Under the trend of this piece of women being the main speaker, this film looks so different and beautiful.

There is no doubt that visually speaking, this is a beautiful film, beautiful heroine, beautiful costumes, beautiful lighting, beautiful composition, beautiful post-production, even the architecture is beautiful. If a group of underage girls feel that the pictures of the childhood are extremely beautiful, then they should come and watch this film. Compared with Hollywood, which has accumulated for decades, Guo Jingming is not so many studios.

Of course, if it's just beauty, it can't explain the lack of chemical reaction between the hero and heroine, the reason for immortality is too magical, and the forced HE at the end and other plot and performance flaws. If you want to classify it, this movie should be classified as "Giving the screenwriter's money to the art" along with Looking for Love. The art is powerful and the creativity is innovative. Unfortunately, the story is problematic. But this film is very clear about its own positioning, romantic love, instead of adding a whole world like looking for love in the sky, and also stuffed into class contradictions, and finally had to TVB. On this basis, the plot problems of the film are controlled to the extent that the audience will not feel uncomfortable, or not too uncomfortable. The hero and heroine are inexplicably in love with each other? It doesn't matter, haven't all the love stories from the past to the present have been taken in a hurry by love at first sight? Everyone is used to it.

I personally always feel that if a movie does not have an excellent plot, it does not matter, as long as it can give the audience the feeling that the audience wants, then the plot can roughly justify it enough. The beauty and romance conveyed in this film are very illusory, and they are simply the benchmark for love model dramas. The male and female protagonists don't have to worry about life, and they don't have to work much every day. The biggest thing in life is to fall in love. Does it sound very Qiong Yao? The retro style of this film is just right. God knows how strong my sense of time travel is when the heroine takes out her mobile phone at the New Year's party. However, there is no doubt about the beauty created by the film, which is also lacking in Hollywood in recent years. That trace of beauty is so beautiful that it floats out of the dust. Therefore, even if it has many shortcomings, I still sincerely thank the creators, especially the art. The efforts of the music-related personnel, as well as a little bit of hatred of the screenwriter who want to hang up and hold back the screenwriter, are irresistible.

The best performer is Harrison Ford. It's a good idea to teach the younger generation to be a man. Especially the few scenes he just met with the heroine are very infectious, and even the heroine performed very well. It is the highlight of the performance.

In the final analysis, the story of this film is very boilerplate and too dramatic, but it doesn't have the illogical sense of play that CW has. what. Of course, under the trend of a new love movie, this film seems to have regressed a lot, but there are some people, such as me, who just want to experience romance without thinking, nothing else, but romance! This is something that a lot of romance movies can't do now.

    The downside of immortality is not being able to grow old with you.

    English original name is: How old is Ah Dailin this year? So what, wouldn't it be embarrassing at family gatherings? Finally, the politically correct speech on the 40th wedding anniversary is really enough. It's a pity that the point of science fiction can actually be more fun
