The chick movie is full of basic models!

I am very happy to see it, I will tell you why I think this film is good. First of all, its goodness has a premise, that it has completed everything that a chicken movie should do. I gave it five stars on chick flick. Don't think every chick movie with a romcom formula gets a high score, I've seen too many screaming chicken movies. The chick movie is a movie about the love and growth of urban young girls. This kind of movie has never had the ability to undertake a profound theme, and even telling a novel story is a higher level requirement. After removing the connotation, the only requirement for it is that it makes people feel like a spring breeze and a happy mood after watching it. Surprisingly, it is difficult to do well just by telling the story of a girl meeting the prince, and if this level is not done well, it will only increase the ambition of storytelling and reasoning, which is a castle in the air. "Cohabitation in Time and Space" has been widely acclaimed, but in fact it is just a chicken movie with a fantasy theme. Take it apart to see that the theme of time and space is old-fashioned and simple, and the love part is thin and uninteresting. The two 60 points do not add up to 120. Instead, multiply to 36 points. The biggest misunderstanding in the production of chick films is that they deliberately distort the female image because they are aimed at the female group, and describe the heroine as an ugly duckling that is more ordinary than ordinary. They tend to have average working ability (just like most audiences do not have excellent working ability), dream of finding the most romantic true love, and love is rendered as holy grail, under all these coincidences, the prince descended from the sky, and the heroine showed a "good side" (kindness, we can all do it, isn't it just feeding stray cats), and since then the prince deeply Falling in love with her, the film ushered in the perfect ending. It seems that the film industry believes that repeating the same story 10,000 times will convince girls that princes are born to love the clumsy, ordinary, and that anyone with a "soft side" in their hearts deserves to be praised as one in a thousand..." myself". Because the heroine is still loved like this, the threshold for being loved will be lowered, as if this can build up female self-confidence. But in fact, a heroine lacks charisma and is deeply in love with the hero, which only shows how stupid the hero is. Since the chick movie is a female protagonist movie made for women, what it needs to do most is to portray a lovely heroine. If the audience cannot fall in love with the heroine before the hero, the movie will have failed. In the terrible movie "Number of Bedmates", Anna Faris, because a fashion magazine said that a woman can't marry if she sleeps enough with 20 men, after losing her job, marriage has become her only life-saving straw. Following this absurd theory, she Ignoring the US team who lived in the opposite door without clothes, I went to the Falcon Star Lord Watson all the way, and vowed to choose an ex-boyfriend to marry. She has no pursuit other than marriage, and is good at handicraft, but she even realizes this. Requires US support. The most disgusting thing is that there is a man who slept empty in the Easter egg at the end, making Captain America her No. 20 boyfriend, and finally keeping the thematic logic of the film's 20 male theory. The chick movie is a combination of beauties, handsome guys, and theme stalks. From the theme stalks, this film has embarked on a sinister road of defining women with sex, and it also focuses on creating a brainless heroine. After reading it, it is puzzling: CE How could it be so miserable back then. After watching a lot of chick movies, my request for this type of movie is: after watching it, you don't want to scold people, just do it. And "My A-Class Secret" brought me a huge surprise. First of all, D'Addario is so beautiful. Although the unicorn is not my first handsome guy, he has a refreshing appearance in the film, and D'Addario is a scenery of his own (and he reminds me of Amy Adams several times in the film, That unicorn played Superman again, isn't it a coincidence). When Emma gave a failed business speech at the beginning of the film, I thought I was going to go down the path of an unemployed woman, but fortunately it was just paving the way for the next episode. Then, on the plane, I made an oolong and poked all the secrets out to strangers. The theme of the film appeared: this girl dared to be honest with herself until she was dying. Of course, this is a film that knows the end after watching the beginning, so Jack entered Emma's company and entered her life, and fell in love smoothly. This part moved quickly, Emma thought about what she wanted, she wanted love, and her boyfriend couldn't bring her that, so she broke up with her ex-boyfriend happily. I love that Emma is a purposeful person in the film, she has a passion for work and a vision for life, this is not the kind of "A Star Is Born" that builds dreams high, she wants to get promoted, and through Hard work can be achieved, her success will not make her out of the ordinary, Emma will only become a happy ordinary person, still has no distance from the audience. It is a small thing that enhances the relationship between the hero and heroine: Jack also tells Emma a secret that his "Leopold file" is an excuse to take a break from work. When he uses this code, Emma not only immediately understands that he is coming to him , also made a "Leopold file" with content, in case anyone found out that the file didn't exist at all, maintaining the secret for Jack. This is a progressive plot design. After Jack proposed "Leopold" for the first time, he used this secret signal to Emma to return the hook for the first time. Emma knew how to find him. This plot is already very It's complete, and Emma's other dossier is a double-click, bringing an unexpected knowing smile. Emma's attentiveness and cuteness are all at a glance, and I'm officially in love with Emma because of this episode. The male protagonist of the chick movie is a vase. They are the tool characters for the heroine to grow and recognize herself. The hero's inner level does not need to be too rich, just enough for the heroine to enlighten and fall in love. Too much will blur the focus. The layering of the male protagonist is not a necessary requirement for the basic chick movie. This film is only 1 hour and 34 minutes. The male protagonist has a weak sense of existence. It is completely a one-man show by D'Addario. But her role is multifaceted and lovable, and it's quite enough. In the third act, the hero and heroine are about to conflict, and this film has a second surprise for me: it designs a scene that makes Confession to break quickly changed, the TV interview was love language for Jack and revealing for Emma. In the end, the film returns to the place where the Inciting Incident happened, on the plane, exchanging secrets, echoing the beginning and the end, completing a perfect chicken movie structure. For me, the rhythm of this film is just right, meeting, breaking up, falling in love, conflicting, resolving, every period of time is not long, I am looking forward to them falling in love, and when the love goes smoothly and I am a little bored, another TV confession surprises me. Emma said that she hoped to have a romantic love, but she was never obsessed with losing her mind and wanted to be promoted, so she has always been smart and hard at work. It's a civilian Gu Li, coquettish and vicious. When Emma really broke up, she took revenge on Emma most seriously. This old-fashioned contrast has been tried and tested; Emma's colleagues are the ones who usually talk and laugh with her. , they were the ones who had the opportunity to speak coldly to her. It wasn't a big evil, but there was no friendship at all; Emma's boss, after promoting Emma, ​​told her "you are worth it", which made the film a few more Criticize the practical significance of the contempt for women in the workplace. These are very simple and superficial, but the talk show will not go deeper. "My A-Class Secret" is a loose daily story under the premise of "I told my boss all my secrets". It's simple, funny, and doesn't have the heavy plot of the grass snake and gray line, but it has a normal person The heroine of the film, she does not go the same way, mixing true love and romance with marriage and happiness and meaning of existence. Emma gets the little things that a normal person can have in life, working hard and getting promoted. The superficial theme of the film is equally moving: you have to face your true self in order to love yourself, and only by showing your true self can someone love you. No matter how high-sounding this may sound, I was encouraged when Emma could calmly accept that the image she created was not herself, but the lazy and bad version of herself. Watching a chick movie made me think not that I can also be loved by the prince, but that I should love myself too, I think it's a win-win for us. The love in the chick movie is completely different from the love I pursued when I was a man. Men's love is morbid and unique, and it is impossible to love the second person without the other's supreme romance; while chick movies are referable, healthy, and remain independent, the best result of chick movies is not for women The protagonist deserves a once-in-a-lifetime love, but makes her a very good girl who will fall in love with anyone who sees it. The male protagonist is more fortunate and has witnessed her growth, so she successfully obtained this qualification. Love in a chick movie should be like REAL LIFE: I may have other good relationships, but I now have a congenial relationship because I'm fine and worthy of the love I want. "My A-Class Secret" is exactly like that. It doesn't take love as the only issue, so it's easy and comfortable. It doesn't matter if you forget the plot immediately after watching it. I still spent an hour and a half that was funny and satisfying. I finally saw a chick movie that did its job well in all aspects, and I was very moved. Only after completing the above, can you be qualified to pursue depth and play the storyline, first learn to walk and then run, okay?
