Playing movies

I think it's an interesting and clever movie, but it's not good enough.
The director is always involved in the script creation. There are many points in it that are very fun, but the only thing that is powerful is that when the spotted shark appears at the end, the front is bullshit. It feels like a kind of talk show, with all kinds of nonsense at first, with jokes, nasty jokes, restricted-level nonsense, and finally a sensational baggage.
Before the fluorescent spotted shark appeared at the end, everyone thought the captain was a self-righteous liar. Although he saved some points for him by playing pirates, it was not until the appearance of the shocking shark that all his shortcomings were found to be forgiven.
The director seems to love yellow, and almost all his movies are in this kind of nostalgic yellow tone.
His shots are also full of fun, and it feels mixed with the style of comics. It's just that he allows the camera to move more to match the scheduling of his actors. The characteristics of this visual style are too obvious, and it is estimated that once imitate it, it will be seen through in an instant. And the sudden upgrade of what he loves! Did you learn this from a Hong Kong movie? ? Cutting the two speeds together is really effective.
I like his play mentality...very enlightening, especially when he is in the horns.
