"Adventure Paradise" is adapted from the director's personal experience in his youth. It tells the story of an obedient boy who went to the playground to work in order to make up for the travel expenses. People in the same industry know at a glance that a playground full of young people has always been a hotbed of youthful comedies preferred by American directors, but this time Greg Mottola has narrowed down the spoof and enlarged his youth. There are no very explicit scenes and jokes throughout the article, and even some well-known plots are basically finished. At the same time, the director who is also a screenwriter set the details to be relatively "clean", and did not dilute the viewing of the film, on the contrary, like Shaolin boxing, there must be a young and pure adolescent romance in the heart of every audience, like a film It's a little sweet and tangled like that, but it makes people treasure it for a lifetime.
The beginning of "Adventure Paradise" tells everyone that the story happened in the 1980s. The director does not want to set sail with the nostalgic wave of "Pirate Radio" and "Making Woodstock", but to restore the hearts and emotions of the young people of that era more truthfully and sincerely. In that amusement park with some "cottages", all kinds of characters appeared. Whether it is repairmen showing mercy everywhere, or spreading rumors by popular lovers, they all reveal a simplicity and purity that are different from contemporary ones. The emotion between the hero and the heroine is like the scholar and Tsing Yi on the stage of Peking Opera. You come and I am ashamed to say it, and it hits the softest place in the hearts of the audience. The protagonist Jesse Eisenberg is somewhat similar to Michael Serra in "The Infinite Spectrum of Love" in terms of role positioning and performance. This kind of otaku is sincere and delicate, just like the "straight man" in the eyes of others, which is very pleasing. The heroine is Kristen Stewart, the popular fried chicken in "Twilight". A beautiful face, a kind heart, and a girl who pretends to be mature, but in fact rebellious, is not each of us the dream girl of our school days?
It is worth mentioning that the songs selected in "Adventure Paradise" greatly added points to the film. From Don't Dream It's Over to Just Like Heaven, every song makes you feel like you’re on the airship of time, returning to the nostalgic era of youth.
