"Don't Say Anything" 9.0

Obviously, "The Camera Don't Stop! "The three-stage structure is borrowed from "Sir, Don't Say Anything", or its original drama "The Confused Troupe".

"Don't stop the camera! "The three paragraphs are, a low-cost zombie farce with a lot of shoddy production, but one shot to the end; a loose rhythm to explain the relationship between characters and the daily routine of the preparatory work; a deconstruction or puzzle-solving intertextual presentation of the first part. .

The first paragraph of "Don't Say Anything" was the last rehearsal before the drama started. Although the situation continued, the first scene was presented completely, during which the establishment of the relationship between the characters was subtly included; Afterwards, the conflict between the actors broke out. On the one hand, they were extremely unprofessional in their multi-angle love and jealousy. Wu also rolled his eyes and gave up the treatment, and threw the script away.

The second part of "Photo" is mediocre and boring. Apart from one or three paragraphs of exquisite intertext, these bland and daily narratives somewhat reveal the director's true skills.

The three paragraphs of "Big" are upgraded along the level of chaos. The play within the play switches seamlessly between the front and back of the stage. Drama, pantomime, and farce are staged at the same time. Probably can only blame the second paragraph for being so perfect that the third paragraph can only be rushed.

Even if you only watch the drama itself, it is already quite interesting, excerpting a few homophonic stalks translated by Douyou——

- Who are you? - What are you doing?

- Doing the taps. - Fixing water pipes...

- Tax? Income tax? Check for tax evasion?

- That's right. In come the new taps, out go the old. - That's right. Just check for leaks.

- Tax inspectors everywhere! - Tax inspectors everywhere!

------------------

- A man! - There is a man!

-...doing the taps... ...doing the taps...

- Attacks? Not attacks on women? Are you targeting women?

- I'll try anything once, but I'll try the taps on the bath first.

- Sex criminals everywhere! - Sex criminals everywhere!

Condescendingly and pointing fingers at bad films, I have always been in high spirits, but I was speechless when I came to a good film that was completely convincing.

This is one of the best comedies I've seen in recent years, and I can only put my hands up and say so.

    Three and a half. The arrangement is undoubtedly very delicate, but I don't know if the translation of the version I read is too bad or what is the problem, which leads to missing a lot of things that explain the antecedents, such as what is the relationship between these people? Why are they fighting? If you don't understand this, the second act is about a silent silent play behind the scenes. These people are stumbling on each other behind the scenes to make trouble during the interval between performances, so they can't understand the reason for doing so. And in front of the podium in the third act, it was no longer "a group of people tried their best to save the scene and the gods unfolded", but the whole paragraph was broken and broken. The audience laughed happily, of course, but this turned the conflicting and high-level jokes in the original script into vulgar jokes where the actors made a fool of themselves.

    The tight script and the execution of the director have made such a special movie. The double perspective interpretation of the front and the back provides the fun of interpretation, just like watching the behind-the-scenes tidbits. It would be nice to be noisy, and the plot of the play within the play could be more interesting.

  • Poppy: Well, I'm sorry, but, you've got to hear, because I'm... PREGNANT!

    Lloyd: And curtain!

  • Lloyd: Think of the first night as the dress rehearsal. If we can just get through the play once tonight - for doors and sardines. That's what it's all about, doors and sardines. Getting on, getting off. Getting the sardines on, getting the sardines off. That's farce. That's - that's the theatre. That's life.

    Belinda: God, Lloyd, you're so deep.
