Talk about the bad metamorphosis - "Paradise Mountain"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Paradise Mountain".
The film title Paradise Hills (2019), alias Paradise Hills (Hong Kong).
This is a Spanish film, written and directed by the Spanish Alice Waddington, the same big mouth Emma Roberts, model Aisha Gonzalez, zombie nemesis Milla Jovovich, the first to win the Golden Globe Awkwafina, an Asian woman who won the Best Actress Award, co-starred.
From the writers and directors to the women in the cast, you can guess that this is a female-oriented film. The label of the film is "fantasy", and it seems that it wants to attract a wave of popularity among male audiences.
Emma Roberts as the heroine Uma, woke up suddenly to an isolated island called "Paradise Mountain". In Paradise Mountain, in addition to normal life and entertainment, Uma also needs to undergo a series of transformations.
Paradise Mountain is a strange place. The island is far away from the mainland, which fundamentally prevents the possibility of people on the island fleeing. At the same time, Paradise Mountain claims to the rich that it can perfectly transform their children. Whether it is the second generation of the wealthy who are unwilling to marry into the wealthy, or depression, or such trivial matters as losing weight, Paradise Mountain can provide a one-stop service to transform the children of the rich and powerful. Transform it as needed.
Because Uma's family is in trouble, her mother wants to marry her to another rich second generation to maintain the family. But Uma was determined to marry a poor boy who was poor and white, and said that she would marry love. Unable to resist the child, Uma's mother had to send Uma to Paradise Mountain for transformation, hoping that her daughter could change her mind.
Here, Uma meets two roommates. Chloe is a fat white girl who came to the island to lose weight, very simple. Yu Yu, an Asian girl who is always sullen and cynical, came to the island to treat depression.
Secretly, the other side of Paradise Hill is open to the poor.
All kinds of desperate poor people, or poor people who want to achieve class leap, come to the island to receive body transformation, transform their bodies into the appearance of the rich children on the island, learn their daily behavior, and prepare to replace those rich families when the time comes. child.
The first half of "Paradise Mountain" has been unfolding through Uma's perspective, revealing the truth of Paradise Mountain intermittently. The truth is not fully revealed until the second half of the film.
Paradise Mountain is like a black-hearted intermediary, collecting money from both the rich and the poor. On the surface, he took money from the rich, transformed the children of the rich, secretly accepted the poor, and reshaped the poor into the appearance of the children of the rich, and then used the poor civet cat for the prince to replace the rich children. Pen.
"Paradise Mountain" is like "Metamorphosis", the rich and the poor experience each other's life. Although we are all human, we have actually lived like two species.
The rich express unimaginable life to the poor, why not eat minced meat, even if there is no ginseng soup to drink, there are also steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose...
The poor are equally incomprehensible about the lives of the rich. No need to work every day, it seems like how hard it is to live in a drunken life and dream of dying. The rich have abruptly come up with various etiquette to distinguish between classes, and the poor must first learn these useless skills if they want to cross the class.
The only difference is that the price paid in "Paradise Mountain" is life.
"Paradise Mountain" is labeled "fantasy", but the fantasy elements in the film are extremely abrupt.
Milla Jovovich left the Nintendo Hills after years of fighting zombies. But what the audience never thought was that Milla Jovovich was not only the nominal person in charge of Paradise Mountain, but also a fantasy creature hidden in the world, an unconventional creature like Zyra.
With Milla Jovovich's poison ivy look alone, the film dares to be labeled "fantasy", and you have to admire the courage of the producer.
If audiences want to see a fantasy movie, they are 100% sure to be disappointed. Fantasy films have turned into strange films. It seems that selling dog meat with sheep's heads is not the patent of domestic bad films.
The award for "Paradise Mountain" is the Nomination for Best Costume Design at the 34th Spanish Goya Awards in 2020.
It can be seen by the naked eye that the costumes, sets, and costumes in the film are very attentive, the big scenes are not lost in momentum, and the close-up scenes are completely arranged according to the girl's heart, which makes people fascinated. But looking at the obedience in the film, it will give people a feeling that the money is not bad. There is no necessary aerial photography and special effects everywhere. The details are arranged very carefully, but it is also very wasteful.
But the most important thing to watch a movie is to watch a story. The biggest problem with "Paradise Mountain" is that it doesn't tell a story. The originally good class confrontation and conflict were shattered by the director's speech. After all kinds of beautiful shots were mixed together, they were inexplicably smashed.
Talk about bad metamorphosis,
Turn wasteful service to waste.
