The plot has been picked up by everyone, so I will pick up the story behind the scenes of the movie and the second ending in the DVD version.
1. Clothing design . As a public relations manager in the fashion circle, Emily has always shown people with stunning menswear, and the costumes are different each time. This is due to the film director Paul Feig. He is stylishly dressed and is a complete three-piece suit every time he goes to the set. , Because he admired Hollywood film directors in the 1930s and 1940s when they were dressed like this behind the camera. As a result, the film dressed Emily as the director's elegant look. The skull cane appearing in the film is also the director’s private collection. It is an antique with a history of 120 years. The director personally demonstrated to Blake the difference between "crutch" and "fashion item": a real cane is a walking stick. ; Take two steps and click to get a fashion item. You can even throw it in the air and put it on your shoulders to make it look more fashionable. Blake also added his own style, which resulted in the classic look of the scene when he met Stephanie in the cemetery.
2. Obsessive-compulsive disorder team. The film production team is very sophisticated, a bit like our "Noon Sunshine". This can be seen from the elegant costumes of Emily every time he appears on the stage. Each set has a hand-painted design drawing. Not only that, including the special effects of the Emily twin sisters, There are also the details of the action scenes. For example, in the scene of Stephanie and Sean at the end of the movie, they pretended to wound Sean with a gun, using light-colored plasma that looked rather fake, and the gunshot wound after being seen through by Emily the second time. True plasma; when Emily shot Sean with a gun, if you look carefully, you will find that the bullet penetrated Sean’s body and hit the wall behind. The actor changed three white shirts to complete this shot, although the general audience It's hard to find, but the production team still hopes to complete it perfectly. Of course, the last shot of Emily being hit by a car is obviously a dummy flying in the air, but this obvious piercing shot adds to the joy of the movie.
3. The age of the young actors. The two little actors in the movie are quite cute. The director has also thought about their age choices. If they are too old, such as over 5 years old, they will be too sensible, which is not conducive to the development of the plot. If they are too young, such as 2 or 3 years old. He was unable to participate in the performance, so the director set the age of the child at the age of 5 years old Tongyan Tongyu. This makes the story of Emily who saw the resurrection of Emily appear from Nicky's mouth seemingly plausible, fascinating, and at the same time. Convince the audience.
4. The second ending of the movie. I’ve always thought that streaming movies can be played on mobile phones, tablets, and computers at will. Today, the physical DVD rental service should have long been unable to survive. In the past, 9,000 global companies are now closed and only one is left. It seems that DVD will be eliminated sooner or later). It was not until I rented a DVD that I found out that there are many surprises in the DVD that are not in the theater version, such as various highlights and cut shots. , The film’s creative mindset, the second ending of the film, and so on. According to the director, the ending of the movie is not what we see now, but Sean proposes to Stephaine through a flash dance. However, after the screening, the audience's response was not good, thinking that Stephanie's life should be exposed to the sun. It should be attached to anyone, so the director reluctantly gave up his love, deleted the ending, and used subtitles to explain the hero's home. The protagonist Henry Golding was also very engaged when rehearsing this dance, showing his playful and cute side. In the dance, the national mobilization, including almost all the actors who can dance, is really happy ending.
The movie itself is a type of black humor. Many stalks echo back and forth, and there are also many slang words. For example, the police came to Stephanie and said that Sean may be fraudulently claiming insurance money, but Stephanie retorted. The police said that he was just following the breadscrumbs. Sean made a Caesar salad decorated with breadcrumbs. Such small details can be seen everywhere as long as you pay attention.
In short, the actors are in place, the director team is attentive, the beautiful and handsome guys are eye-catching, and the plot is unexpectedly reversed. It is a good movie that is worth watching again.
