the background of the story was explained in 20 minutes: the "strong" boy of the year is now overaged The unmarried Uncle Luther, who was born with a dog;
the opportunity for the development of the story is an interesting assumption: the sperm of that year gave birth to more than 500 children, and these twenty-year-old babies were yelling at the judge to find out the identity of the father.
In fact, this story can be made into an ethical film or a legal film, but it has been made into an emotional film, which is still a fresh style that is both amusing and tear-jerking.
So the uncle randomly dragged a funny friend to be a lawyer, and contacted his children anonymously before the trial, and then the ethical and legal issues that should have been given way to excessive trust and goodwill, and the movie was so happy and successful .
The outstanding point of the film is that, although all kinds of beauty and warmth are based on assumptions, and although the director deliberately avoided the ethical and legal principles that should have been avoided, the narrative process not only did not make the audience doubt the legitimacy of the story, but also made the film. Everyone unknowingly substituted emotions, and after the movie ended, before carefully recalling and questioning the story, they were moved and resonated like a spring breeze.
I think one of the reasons for this effect is because of Patrick Huard.
In this sense, Starbucks is almost a one-man show. It's not that the other characters are nonexistent and poorly acted, but that David, the protagonist, is at the center of the conflict in the entire film, and Patrick Huard's performance is vivid and believable.
In addition, the combination of warm themes and fresh stories is the second reason why the film works so well.
In fact, from the very beginning, the theme of the movie is a chicken soup that warms the soul, so the movie can indeed meet the psychological needs of many audiences; on the other hand, donating sperm to be a father or something is just a novel and clever entry point, but this The design is innovative enough to ensure that the movie is gimmicky and interesting.
In the end, this story, which is based on a specific assumption and unfolds on the premise that human nature is inherently good, is indeed mellow and full, without any leakage.
The narrative rhythm of the whole film is clear and lively, and there is no lack of echoes and contrasts between before and after, without missing details and chaotic idleness; at the same time, the picture is clean and refreshing, the perspectives are diverse, and the soundtrack fits well, and there is no suspicion of audio-visual fatigue.
My favorite part on the storytelling level is the explanation of David's motivation for donating. There is not a single line in the whole film, but there is a hint in the middle of the film that the audience who really understands will understand the motivation of David's whole film, realize the goodness and beauty of Uncle Wastewood, and will basically be moved by the story. Happy to read the next story.
Finally, there are movie viewing suggestions: except for the little brat who doesn't understand anything, and the serious guy who understands ethics and law too well, what this movie provides is suitable for the vast majority of people. For uncle control and special fans of old and young rival dramas, the movie should also provide additional surprises.
