Where Are You Going, Bernadette, the original novel has become a bestseller because of its formal sense of use of emails and online conversations. The film was adapted into a simple middle-class life sketch, smooth, but not stunning. The North American box office of 10 million is also quite satisfactory. It is said that this kind of sketch describing middle-class life should be very down-to-earth, but in fact, it has not had a better box office in the world in recent years. The mainland's historical box office has to reach the 21st place before the predecessor 3, which is barely enough for the middle-class work in the upper city. In recent years, the so-called social reality has also turned its attention to the bottom of society. From the point of view of moviegoers, the middle class of the 30-year-old urban middle class in the new first-tier cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt are becoming the main force at the box office, but they do not seem to be keen on movies that show their real life. Of course, classical film theory has proved the voyeuristic desire of film, which is also the reason why unlucky children are selling well except for flying away. Class will affect aesthetics, but the voyeuristic desire in human nature is far greater than revealing one's own scars. Five years ago, Bollywood used aristocratic life to satisfy the voyeurism of agrarian society. In the golden age of the Xu brothers, Hong Kong was not more modern, let alone TVB. Wherever the audience is, it is difficult for commercial films to achieve a greater breakthrough in that class.
