This time, the "Baby Project" is very different. When the audience laughs together at least 10 times, it is not the ridicule when watching the "Night Banquet", but the real heartfelt laughter because of happiness. There are constantly exclamations to show that I recognize the cuteness of the little baby. It's been a long time since I watched a movie with such a smile. Even Stephen Chow's movie can't bring us so many smiles. This is a comeback of Jackie Chan's funny movies, and it is also a comeback of Hong Kong's traditional market comedy.
About 2 years ago, I watched the amazing Hong Kong comedy movie "Rhapsody of Ghosts and Horses" once. Coincidentally, Gu Tianle, one of the protagonists, and Xu Guanwen, the guest star, are the main actors of the "Baby Project". The film exaggeratedly showed some of the life of Hong Kong's ordinary citizens through absurd and bizarre stories. The most exciting episode was Liu Qingyun playing mahjong, which made me laugh forward and backward, unable to be myself.
The same is true of "Baby Project", except that Liu Qingyun, who has outstanding acting skills, is removed, and Jackie Chan, who takes the humorous fighting route, is added. The movie is relatively long, a little over two hours, and it doesn't get to the point within half an hour of the opening, the foreshadowing is a bit slow, and the background description of the thieves trio is also a bit lengthy, but it doesn't make people feel very bored, because it's ridiculous too many places. What impressed me the most was the scene where Jackie Chan jumped off the air conditioner, a creative escape; there was also the passage of Gu Tianle picking up girls. Although the lines were predictable, they were very effective.
Half an hour later into the subject, stealing babies. The stealing process is very short, and everyone doesn't pay much attention to the action scenes. There are some ridiculous scenes on the way to escape from the baby's house, which are shown through coincidences and contradictions. After getting the baby, I entered the slender step. The two big men were busy taking care of the baby. The talent show and the process of imitating gay in the supermarket made people laugh. The next climax is the fight in the room and the car chase on the road. The thousands of changes in the small room are the forte of Jackie Chan movies. All praise.
When I really entered the climax of the director's setting, it was not very fun. I felt that some of my talents were exhausted. I didn't have more things to play with, so I just stuffed a roller coaster clip. In the end, the fight with the two white-clothed killers was also lackluster. I It's better to cut it out. On the contrary, the death penalty at the end is somewhat interesting.
It can be said that although the overall layout of the movie is bland, it is better than the paragraphs, and the other is that it does not pretend to be B. What is a good movie? This is a matter of personal subjective criteria. In my opinion, a funny comedy movie is a good movie, a serious movie with connotation is a good movie, a fascinating suspense movie is a good movie, and a sensational movie that makes people cry is a good movie - in short, it can achieve what it claims to be. The purpose is to make a good movie, at least the "Baby Project" has achieved it.
In fact, from a performance point of view, there is nothing redeeming in the movie. Jackie Chan is as always, Xu Guanwen is a supporting role, and mainland audiences don’t understand it at all. Louis Koo proves that in addition to being very handsome and cool, he is also talented in being funny. , 10,000 times stronger than Zheng Zhongji and his like, Xie and Wu's cameos are very good. The performances of mainland actors are as incompatible with the whole style as before. It can be seen that the requirements of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for co-production films are purely strong, and the incompatibility has become a failure to limit the performance.
