But the film is really at a "okay" level. You can take a look at it or not. The girls will still like it very much. At noon, there were a lot of girls, aunts, and children who were dragged by the aunt, and I was the only one to see the beautiful women. I was annoyed by the laughter of a lot of black girls.
Compared with the previous work, this work can be said to be disappointing in the textbook style-disappointment, not bad, but it does not reach the height of the previous work, and the bad work of Women's Federation 2 is two concepts.
Said it is a textbook disappointment mainly because it made almost all the mistakes made in a sequel, and it was particularly in vain.
The success of a commercial work is nothing more than a standardized script + above average actors + eye-catching features. The previous work is the best example.
The plot structure of the previous work is a typical campus youth + a counterattack. The three main characters interact and grow up, and then the supporting characters have their own characteristics, and they get honor and love together. Very clear and very consistent. Among them, the characterization of Fat Amy is even used as an example by my fiction writing professor.
The performances of AK47 and Rebel Wilson have nothing to say, they belong to the middle-class acting in their generation. The beauty of Anna Camp, the beauty of Brittany Snow, Adam Devine and the handsome boy Skylar Astin performed quite well.
A Capella is a big highlight, needless to say.
So the reason for the success of the previous game is very clear.
The biggest pitfall of a successful sequel is to try to go further on the advantages of the previous work, while also breaking the pattern of the previous work.
This is exactly the case. First of all, the supporting characters in the previous work have a lot of shots in this work one by one. Fat Amy was promoted to one of the protagonists without any suspense. As a result, he couldn’t wait to take up a quarter of the space; that Asian Lily appeared in many spots, second only to Fat Amy in the former supporting role, and all of them were selling ugliness. And the Indian boy is completely gone; Bumper, the little fat guy, somehow returned, and then somehow rebuilt well with the boys, and somehow did a quarter of the movie with Fat Amy; suddenly one appeared. Suspected Latino, stammering in English, and got the third most supporting shot for this feature; Benji and the female protagonist Xiaoyuan also knew each other inexplicably (really, I didn't explain it at all), and they got involved inexplicably. Are these side plots really necessary?
This way too much emphasis on popular supporting roles directly leads to the reduction of the protagonist's role. Brittany Snow (Chloe) and Anna Camp (Aubrey) are only nominal protagonists, and the other is simply squeezed into a supporting role. The same goes for the original male protagonist Skylar Astin. Fat Amy has a love story, but this love is the rhythm of appointment-refusal to confess-engagement. Due to the limited space, there is not enough foreshadowing. Becca played by AK47 retained quite a lot of roles, but the contradiction between graduate employment and choir practice hinted at in the first half of the film disappeared later. WTF.
Then there is the thin round face of the protagonist. In "Ander's Game", there are two junk child stars, one is about to destroy Spider-Man, and the other is here to destroy "Perfect Pitch 2" (I know she still has True Grit pressure, so what?). The characters have no depth and are useless except for a labelled identity (the heir of the choir). No growth, the same from beginning to end. As a new element of this work, it was first suppressed by AK47, without the feeling of "new life to save the world" in the previous work. Secondly, there are no characteristics-her only role is to help AK47 solve the problem of creation of the work, which is totally different from the role of AK47 in the previous work. This person's acting skills are not good either. The first half is forced to act as a little girl who can't speak because of the needs of the role. Immediately after...there is no shadow—no beautiful lines, no wonderful facial expressions or actions. The most exaggerated thing is that such a mediocre character actually finally hit her by the light in the end. And the rap battle in the middle is absolutely unreasonable. It feels like it was forcibly inserted for the round face and the succession of the previous battle, and also to carry forward the highlights of the previous work, and the result was too strong.
I liked the small details of a-ca-cuse me very much in the previous work. There are many previous works, but this one has few sentences.
After a work is successful, many forces will come in to make money. Failure to effectively deal with the influence of these forces will result in this chaotic situation in this film. A child with mediocre acting skills who only acted in bad movies was forcibly added to the protagonist position of a successful work and played against the first-line stars AK47, Rebel Wilson and Adam DeVine. No money behind this? It's hard to believe.
The pattern of this film is essentially a competition within a university into a world competition, from a small film covering other people's works to a big film that invites big names like Snoop Dog and Sia to participate in the composition. There must be a lot of money involved. . The small round face is aside, and the large number of appearances by Adam DeVine and Rebel Wilson also proves this.
In the three years between the previous game and this game, the three fastest-growing new stars are AK47, Rebel and Adam. Adam’s Bumper character was actually "killed" in the previous game, but I did not expect this game to return without explanation. And played a rival role with Rebel, and even squeezed out the space of the two male protagonists in the previous film. There is no interest entanglement in this?
As the biggest card of the game and the first protagonist of the previous game, AK47 had to grab the protagonist's position with a small round face of average qualifications, and was almost forced to be divided into two main lines (contradiction between academics and clubs, and the integration and inheritance of new students into the club). The result is that the two lines compromise each other and twist each other. There is no support of their respective forces behind Xiaoyuanlian and AK?
If you still don’t believe it, try to think of it this way:
This is Obama’s first screen show.
Yes, soon after the opening of this work, Obama and his wife made their first screen show, and they also showed off their acting skills. (Hey, I mean this is the first time Obama has shown his face in a movie. Although that segment was edited.)
Think about how much influence this can attract.
So all kinds of political correctness, symbolized by Obama, came up all at once. I don't like to label people, but the recently popular term "white left" is really suitable for this kind of people.
First, the race composition of the choir has changed. Of the two blacks, one was gay, and the other was changed to Latino without explanation. This Latino didn't show his face at all in the first movie, but he knew every member and former member very well, and graduated in the same year. The number of features this person received has already been mentioned.
Then, there have been minorities to increase the space. Asian, repeated shooting! Negro gay, give more lines!
Finally, stay prejudiced!
Yes, keep the prejudice. Bai Zuo's political correctness is so disgusting. They are advocating political correctness with a communist mindset that saves the world, but they actually feel that they are the most powerful in their hearts. For them, political correctness is actually a way to show superiority.
What are the stereotypes in watching the film:
Nerd: Benji. I'm a senior, the second in command of the second choir in the country, and stammers when I see women...
Asian woman: Lily. Strange and timid.
Black gay: Cynthia. Uninhibited, big brother, talking black, loves to play hooligans (touching teammates thighs or something).
Indian brother: Dax. A negative textbook for a white female protagonist.
Fatty: Fat Amy. Uninhibited and ugly. In the last episode, Fat Amy would stand up and fight on with a smile after making a fool of himself. This episode is simply a rip-off discriminated person.
Stick: A combination of sticks in the World Series. "No one cares about them"
Germans: main opponent Das Sound Machine. Rigorous Germans, perfectionism, American rivals, boring science jokes. As an antagonist, there are only three passages in the whole film, and the ending actually went straight away...Compared with the eye contact between the predecessor AK47 and the male main stage and the final shocking kiss, this ending is simply hehe.
Foreign style: music of contestants from all over the world at the World Series. Listen carefully, it's actually an American pop style dressed in costumes from various countries.
Intern: AK47. Is it really necessary to interpret the interns pour coffee? With so many interns in that company, they have to pour coffee for a three-year national champion? No one laughed at such a hard laugh.
Boss: The boss of AK47. I don't think any company boss will be stupid like this, and no group of interns will stand by the boss of a company of this level. This boss role is completely another stereotype.
Feminism created to match the intern stereotype. Feminism: the whole show. After reading a comment, I sorted it out clearly, thank you. First of all, the film seems to be filmed for women, and the last song is we run this world, girls!, but the whole story is mixed with some discriminatory jokes of the male anchor, and the female anchor (or the director!!!) actually does it. Ignore...
Everything is Bai Zuo self-centered, which is disgusting.
If there is no comedy effect without stereotype, then how does "South Park" do comedy? Must be self-centered to laugh at others to have a smile?
There is also the setting of the national women's champion birthday to the president... If it is not a second form, it is good damn communism! As expected of the sea!
The two songs of the final battle are really big highlights. It was suddenly dark for the German opponents (well, the other teams were still in the daytime, so they forced it to be dark), and then the whole stage was based on the German colors of red, yellow and black, which was so handsome.
The protagonists’ Flashlight (composed by Sia, no wonder the faint smell of the theme song of South Park S18E03) was not bright at first. I didn’t expect all Bella from the previous generation to pop up from the air. It was really touching at that moment. You are not alone. fighting. I thought they were just phantoms (because they came out suddenly), but they actually stepped off the stage... The
writing was so messy. In short, it is disappointing compared to the previous one, and it is quite white, but it is pretty good-looking, with bright spots and goddesses.
I deliberately watched this work first and then Mad Max 4. Sure enough, it still doesn't work with Mad Max just face-to-face. I deliberately picked this graduation season to be released, but the box office is definitely affected by Mad Max.
Well, this movie was actually directed by Banks himself. I like her style, but that style is still used as a director... Haha.
