How to express the Brexiteers, under the heavy pressure of the Remainers led by the ruling party, and finally achieve a turnaround against the wind, is what the audience wants to see. It's a pity that the director's ambition is too heavy, not only to express his own political position, but also to please everyone and no one will be offended. The end result is that this film is like half a glass of boiled water in terms of perception and expression, which is neither thirst-quenching nor tasteless.
The first is the issue of the male protagonist's character. The Dominic prototype character played by Cuan Fu is a radical Brexiteer. However, I don't know if it is to take care of the temper of the prototype characters, or to consider the emotions of the Europeans, or to maintain the positive image of the film's male protagonist? In the end, the character of the male protagonist of the movie was shaped into a great neutral with super ability and deep thinking.
Of course, as an adaptation of a movie, in theory, as long as the prototype characters agree, it doesn't matter what you shape. But in order to create the image of the protagonist "tall and mighty", he did not hesitate to make other characters paper, or even weakened. For those of us who are accustomed to watching anti-Japanese dramas, this method can no longer be familiar...
At the beginning of the film, the cross-editing of the hearing and the media interviews intuitively tells the audience that this is a very talented person! Quick thinking, amazing language, it is like a lively talent who was born out of nowhere, whet the audience's appetite.
Then two Brexit officials came to visit the male protagonist, trying to get the big guy out of the mountain. The boss said that he had vowed not to be regent, but he was easily persuaded after a few words...
What exactly did you swear for? What kind of past does the hero have? Will it be because of his early experience that he decided to go out? Maybe it will be explained later in the film? I'm sorry, I won't mention it later, who I love...
As a hostile force, the Remainers are also stupid and cute in the movie. The director who is also a member of the European faction can be described as painstakingly. When shaping the opposing camp of the protagonist, he chooses to weaken it as much as possible, but never ugliness.
Even so, what the final film shows is a group of idiots who have rich experience in successful referendums, a lot of resources and data support, but do not reflect any of the above advantages at all.
Maybe the director wanted to show their arrogant side. However, the overall state of the remaining European faction in the film seems to have known from the beginning that they will lose, and they are reluctant to take any rescue measures. The weakness of the Remaining faction in the movie also directly made the Brexit faction led by the male protagonist look simple and easy to win.
As teammates of the male protagonist, the treatment of the bigwigs of the Brexit faction is not much better. Not only is he stubborn, but also often drags down the male protagonist. When the director portrayed this wave of characters from the Brexiteers, it can be said that he was black to the end and stupid to the end. Unreasonable, greedy for money, selfishness, jealousy, and other bad labels have been affixed to the foreheads of the Brexiteers. Also, if you say that a bunch of old politicians don't have Internet thinking, I believe it. But if you say they don't know anything about Twitter or Facebook, that's a bit of an exaggeration.
A group of veteran Brexiteers who have been working hard for N years, finally caught up with the great opportunity of the salted fish to turn around, but they are still obsessed with palace fights and power and money transactions? The purpose of painting characters like this is just to push the male protagonist further to the altar! Killing pig teammates and pig opponents one after another, and turning around the international situation of the whole country and even the whole world with one's own strength, how happy! But with such teammates and opponents, the "power" of the male protagonist will only be greatly reduced!
However, I have to say that the slogan "Take back control" proposed by the male protagonist is indeed very magical.
The male protagonist realized the winning slogan through an early education book. This scene is really well done and imaginative. Comparing the children to all British citizens, the mother is a member of the European Union, and the male protagonist is the role of the father, trying to turn his attention to himself, the child whose eyes are all on his mother. Ingenious and effective.
In the last scene of the film, under the pressure of the hearing, the male protagonist angrily stated the root cause of all problems: the stupid referendum stemmed from a gradually corrupt system, and the initiator who developed this system and did not think ahead, then It's us humans.
A contagious and fiery statement that seemed to point to the source of the contradiction in this farce. In this scene, Cum Fu's performance is also doing his best, like a god, venting his dissatisfaction and powerlessness with the whole world. When the male protagonist finally walked away and brought down the seat under him, the film ended with a political incident and finally got the sublimation of the theme, which should have been excellent.
But the director wanted to eat into a fat man in one go, and finally used subtitles to diss Trump who was just a little bit on the edge, deliberately catering to the trend of "global diss Trump", it can be said that Some kids are pissed. This superfluous operation also directly led to the instant collapse of the content that the last scene wanted to express.
Brexit is very ambitious. Mixed with hot topics such as racial equality, immigration issues, diss Trump, political expression, etc., at first glance, it is going to the awards season. However, it is filled with too much content to express at one time, which gives people a very calculated and deliberate feeling. That's one of the reasons why the film didn't get academic approval.
