List of award-winning works:
After watching "Striptease", "Degenerate Street", "Marketing Skills", "Naked Director"..., the author has a lot to say about the use of "feeling" and "sex" to shape characters and stories, sell feelings, and explore human nature. Works, I have no interest at all, watching films is purely to kill time.
Enter the brief review.
1. Actor show
There are two camps.
Faction 1, Constance Wu, the bare commander. Not to mention the figure, congenital insufficiency, not much to say. The key is that the acting is equally embarrassing. Compared with the "Crazy Rich Asians" (playing "Cinderella") released last year, it is simply a virtue. a feeling of.
Camp 2, Jennifer Lopez+Cardi B+Lizzo, the latter two are eye-catching, big breasts and fat buttocks, shaking...a bitch look like a bitch, without any trace of interpretation, it seems that this kind of "bitch" "Qi" is not a performance, but a real presentation, which is extremely frightening when you think about it carefully.
As for Lopes, a frequent visitor to the "Golden Plum" (worst leading actress/supporting actress) award, there is no need to consider acting skills, focusing on beautiful buttocks (enough), this is L's specialty, from the dancer's gold to the singer's gold-plated, To make money as an actress, along the way, she always has only one advantage, and that is "hip" (naturally de-carved, clear water out of hibiscus), which is not the same as Kardashian's (can't bear to look directly), directly The latter became slag in seconds.
2. Story stage fright
How to interpret it?
One is the "background setting". Before and after the economic crisis, for the United States and even the world, those years are still unforgettable.
The second is "industry lock-in". Nightclubs and the financial industry are both places for "spending money", but the "profit model" is different, and everything else is the same.
The third is "cut-in judgment", namely: the core main line of the story---the case of the dancing girl stealing the guest's credit card.
From a simple point of view, these three points have effectively integrated the living conditions of specific conditions, specific years, and specific characters, but after careful experience, the story itself (narrative structure + plot purity) is embarrassing and heavy, and the content is "clear soup with little water", We can only rely on "selling buttocks and drinking fat breasts" to nourish the audience. Such "cheap" and "boring" gimmicks are really difficult to satisfy the critical eyes of the audience.
3, the only bright spot
To say it is a "bright spot" is also a "failure". That's the "fighting dance scene". The author can understand that "the director regards these clips as one of the selling points of the film", but I cannot understand that "the director regards them as the only selling point of the 'film'". , the gap between the two is self-evident and obvious to all.
IMHO, if you use these "sweet scenes", you must master a degree and have a purpose. It must not be sloppy and reckless. In this way, the theme of the film is completely dispelled (through the "case" review (financial executives were drugged by dancers and cheated), revealing the appearance of all beings on Wall Street before and after the financial crisis), the gains outweigh the losses.
Write at the end. Si believes that the score of this work is inflated, the commercial atmosphere and entertainment elements are too heavy, the artistic level and humanistic thinking are too light, and it is grandstanding.

Plot ☆☆☆☆ (the food is tasteless, just discard it)
Visual effects ★★★☆☆ (at first glance, "color"; see more, "tired")
