Force Feed Harmony Crap
Branson 2022-03-22 09:01:28
I call films with plots and logic that the director deliberately adds to make you uncomfortable, "Hey Harmony" (xiang) films. There are two kinds of "harmony" films. One is that the director feeds "harmony" by controlling the plot, character emotion, and event logic, which will make people feel that this "harmony" is unexpected but reasonable. After eating, although my heart hurts, I feel that it is reasonable. This is human nature or reality. There will be thinking, perception and experience, and I will feel that the film has depth. In general, the "harmony" of bad films is illogical and unstructured. If the director wants to force-feed you, he has to force-feed you. This is called force-feeding "harmony". After watching such a film, you will feel doubtful about life and the world, but it is impossible to have effective thinking, because your thinking is under the forcible and deliberate guidance of the director. What is the meaning of thinking. Don't over-explain and exaggerate, this film is a lousy film that does its part. I will not be stingy with criticism of bad films, not to mention bad films that feel like a myocardial infarction after watching this.
