Romantic comedy, zeitgeist

When I was crazy about "When You Sleep", I didn't dare to tell others. I feel that I am not a man enough. Looking back now, it was purely because of sandra bullock's good acting and good music that I was moved and shed tears.

Then after experiencing Notting Hill, email teaser, love actually, the good romantic comedy seems to have disappeared. In the past few years, except for the stories that focused on "sex"-successful comedies such as the 40-year-old virgin, Superbad, Knocked-up, etc., which continued to maintain a part of the love element unexpectedly, the other so-called romantic comedies were almost all artificial. . Even Nora Efron's Julia and Julie made me feel that the genre of romantic comedy is going to die.

As a result, the two best comedians in the United States, Tina Fey, and Steve Carell, uprightly (without using too many pornographic jokes) rescued the film, and once again made me feel like I was crying like a twat.

The author of the Date night story is indeed using his sincerity and wisdom to explore how two people can be happy together. He unabashedly showed the common reality in marriage—especially in our era, the marriage problem that reflects the sense of the times.

From the beginning of the two people’s discussion about whether to have sex or not tonight, I have fallen in love with this movie. From beginning to end, although the two people have continued to disagree, they have always felt that they both love each other and can pretend to be very positive for each other's wishes. But the danger of marriage is to become the "best roommate" with two people who care about each other.

After all, life has to go through a long list of boring programs, getting up, taking care of the children to eat and going to school, busy with housework, going to work to deal with boring people, arranging babysitting, perfunctory social activities, going home to sleep, and preparing to be bored tomorrow as always.

But love happens in a few special episodes of this boring life. At that moment, you know that the person with you is actually willing to walk hand in hand with you in this boring life.

These fragments may be the moment when the two of them laughed in a luxurious restaurant, or they may have just escaped from the danger of their lives, and after realizing the true meaning of life, the moment when they feel that they are growing up again, may be in the empty tea. In the restaurant, when you see the sun shining on the other person's face, you suddenly recall the heartbeat of seeing the other person for the first time.

In today's world, there are TV dramas, psp, wii, facebook twitter. Happy Vegetable Garden occupies our attention and distracts us from the things that could have been devoted to maintaining the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, in the limited number of meals, gatherings and bed-sharing time, it is more necessary for two people to not waste their time.

It's not that this movie is very convincing about the principle of marriage. It can actually bring real-world thinking into entertainment in the numerous gags. It really requires a filmmaker with wisdom and sense of responsibility to do it. At the same time, excellent comedians are required to speak such absurd but touching sentences-Tina Fey "Don't judge me for asking it, but what is a flashdrive?" and Steve Carell "And for the love of god, would you put some God dam F*cking shirt! "This

film made me no longer reject romantic comedies. I now believe that the movie can still discuss love, actually.

    There is absolutely nothing to watch. Except for the 40-year-old virgin, Steve Carell's other movies are worse than the other, no, there is a good one, Little Beautiful Sunshine, so why does he always go the comedian route, his appearance The temperament is not humorous, it's the wrong way.

    The media promotion of "The Hangover in 2010" is obviously overestimated. Although the drag racing scene is very exciting, the pole dancers laugh and turn the audience, although the two protagonists are very charming and Mark Wahlberg and James Franco are gorgeous in soy sauce, but the script has some jokes for young people who are of uneven quality, and the story seems abrupt and deliberately anticlimactic. But the ending is still a little touched, after all, I still love Steve Carell.
