Quarrel has to be in the bathtub

Bengula may be a good adaptor, and making up stories by himself is certainly not a specialty. In Breaking & Entering, it was obvious that he had worked hard to write a touching and in-depth story, but as a result, too much content was mixed together and became a puddle of mud.

It may be that there are too many love epics. This time the director wants to see the big from the small. There is no big scene. It is just one incident that involves two families. The title is a story about a burglary, which implies that this incident is also breaking into the lives of two families, one is the middle-class middle-aged emotional crisis, and the other is the single-parent family of immigrant teenagers with problems (Look at such a long attribution. It can be seen that Mingula’s ambition), for a while to show the separation between husband and wife, the relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter, and extramarital affairs, but also to promote the development of the theft, there is not enough space to foreshadow and accumulate emotions, but keep it With Bengura's epic movie-like background music, it's full of sensationalism, and the result seems unreal.

I have to say, the only highlight of the film is Binoche's mother, who has a vivid Bosnian accent and doesn't exude a bit of Binoche's superstar demeanor (compared to when Binoche was in the cold mountains trying to cover up Niko's brilliance) After this time, he saved the effort), and portrayed the image of a refugee who lived by tailoring very well. However, this excellent portrayal reflects many unconvincing parts of the plot. I can't see anything about Binoche that attracts Jude Luo. Ming also seems to think it is difficult to forge this relationship, so he simply does not foreshadow. Well, basically, let Qiu's surprise kiss take care of the overall situation (he is also a kiss to take care of his wife), and then there's an indispensable sex scene with nudity scenes, what I can't stand is the latter one. The bath scene is exactly the same as the one in the British patient. As soon as I saw the bathtub coming out, I thought to myself: Don't quarrel, don't give a scene of getting up naked after the quarrel. It's a pity that the director's imagination is so poor, and the only consolation is that when Binoche got up, he was not completely naked - half naked.

Finally, at the end, last ten minute, the plot took a sharp turn: the husband changed his mind, the husband and wife reconciled, and the son escaped from prison. . . Ming made another big declaration: I am full of Hollywood. But doesn't he know that Hollywood endings are not popular anymore? !
