Nowadays, the audience has gradually become tired of watching the movies of silly, white, sweet, truthful, good and beautiful, and Mary Su, so many movies have begun to explore the dark side of human nature.
For example, not long ago, "Crossing the Sea from the Sky: Beauty Tactics", tells the story of a group of female thieves who made a fortune and made a fortune.
In 2014, the plot of "The Lost Lovers" "Bitch and Dog, Forever" is even more impressive.
This "A Little Busy" is also soaring, and the three views are shattered, so that many netizens compare it with "The Lost Lover".
Of course, whether it is "bitch soaring" or "Three Views Shattered" is not a derogatory term. Nowadays, people are gradually tired of the movies of "Three Views Right". This kind of film that exposes human nature is a manifestation of unconventional. .
Facts have proved that movies with defective protagonists can resonate with the audience, while movies with perfect protagonists will make people feel ungrounded and have a sense of "suspension."
The same is true of "A Little Busy". In the movie, three women and one man are more than a scum. They are intrigue and kill each other. The director is not like making a movie, but more like raising Gu.
The film’s director Paul Feige has directed a large number of excellent American dramas, such as "Mad Men" and "I'm a Comedy Madman". At the same time, he directed "Female Spy", "Bridesmaids" and "Blood Night", which can also let us see him. The irony, joke, and anti-routine side.
"A Little Busy" still continues this style, not taking the usual path and not playing cards according to the routine.
Talk about three views? nonexistent.
The film begins with a live broadcast of the internet celebrity Stephana (Anna Kendrick). She says that her good girlfriend Emily (Brick Lively) has disappeared.
It turned out that Stephana and Emily’s children were in the same kindergarten, and they met because of this.
Once, Emily asked Stephana to help take her son home, and then the world disappeared.
It didn't take long for the bad news to come, and the police found Emily's body in the river.
But the truth is far from being as simple as it seems.
First, a police investigation found that Emily's husband, Sean, bought her life insurance worth 4 million U.S. dollars before his wife was killed.
Therefore, people initially speculated that Sean might be suspected of murdering Emily by cheating.
On the other hand, Emily claimed to have gone to Miami on a business trip before her death, and it turns out that she did not go to Miami, but rented a car in Baggett.
And she paid the rent in cash, the purpose is not to let others know.
The act of renting a car with cash for self-driving travel and falsely claiming that she went to Miami also shows that Emily has some ulterior secrets, such as cheating.
The case is complicated and confusing, so Stephana played Holmes and began to search for the truth of the matter.
In the process of communicating with Sean, Stephana discovered that she had only wished to think that she and Emily were good girlfriends. In fact, Emily was unfathomable and had an unknown side.
For example, Emily pays great attention to privacy. She once logged off Sean's Facebook page because he posted a family photo on Facebook.
There was another time Stephana took a picture of Emily, and the other party also asked her to delete it immediately.
Why does Emily never take pictures? No one knows the reason.
Another example is Emily who stole Sean's mother's ring and claimed that it was given to her voluntarily by her mother-in-law.
Even when Sean asked Emily to return the ring, Emily had to press Sean not to tell her mother, otherwise she would tell her mother-in-law that she stole the ring, making Sean’s parents feel that her son was married. A thief.
In addition, another person who knew Emily also said to Stephana: I warn you, if you inquire about her past, you will find something terrible.
Of course, Sean is not a good person.
After his wife was in trouble, Sean immediately hooked up with Stephana, his wife's good girlfriend.
Even after Sean and Stephana were together, when Stephana moved into Sean's house, Sean still had an affair with other girls.
And Emily also secretly revealed to Stephana before her death: Sean, Sean's female assistant, and Emily had played a threesome.
Of course, this matter was denied by Sean.
So the movie fell into the strange circle of Rashomon.
Did Sean really play the threesome, or did Emily frame him?
Is Emily a bitch, or Sean a scumbag, or both?
So far, the movie has a huge amount of information, but its darkness is obviously far more than that.
Sean hooked up with his wife's good girlfriend, and on the other hand, Stephana also hooked up with his good girlfriend's husband.
On the night of Emily’s funeral, they were very happy with each other, forgetting that they had just sent away their best friend (wife) during the day.
It's not the first time Stephana has done this kind of thing.
After her father's funeral that year, she also slept with her half brother Chris.
And later her husband Miles suspected that his son was not his own, so that Miles and Chris had a dispute, and caused a car accident during the dispute, and both were killed.
In fact, Stephana’s son is indeed probably not her husband’s, but her brother’s.
As soon as his father died, he hooked up with his brother, which indirectly caused the death of both brother and husband;
As soon as the girlfriend died, she hooked up with her husband again.
On both occasions, I immediately forgot the tragic experience of my loved ones or my girlfriends immediately after the funeral, and plunged into desire and joy, which simply ruined the three views.
The next movie reveals the truth, answers the real cause of Emily’s death, and those unknown secrets and deeds. It is even more jaw-dropping, contemplation and fear, and constantly refreshing people’s three views.
In the movie, the three women and one man, including Stephana, Emily, Sean, and another woman, have serious moral stains, but at the same time they show the appearance of a gentleman.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to paint a human being or a tiger, and it's hard to draw a bone, knowing the face and not knowing the heart", the four people staged a modern version of "Game of Thrones."
The filming technique of the movie is very distinctive.
For example, when Stephana told Emily about her and her brother, she said that they just kissed, and the movie shows that the two of them performed more in-depth behavior.
It is not only this time that the film has "contradictory lines and pictures".
Another example is that A said that B died accidentally, and the screen shows that A killed B.
Hearing is false, what a person says and what he does may be very different.
This shooting technique is very interesting. On the one hand, the director ensures that the characters in the movie do not reveal their little secrets, and at the same time allows the audience to know the truth.
More ironically, Stefanna and Sean still lived well afterwards. The former became a live-streaming celebrity with millions of fans, and continued to sell her single mother and independent female personalities, and received a lot of praise;
The latter published the best-selling novel and was promoted to the Minister of Culture at the University of Berkeley.
Behind their aura, fame, power, and honor, there are dark human and moral flaws hidden.
Now they have achieved fame and fortune, but their fans and readers don't know that their true appearance is not as beautiful as they show.
Like the moon, it looks bright and beautiful from a distance, but it is full of pits when you look up close.
The characters in "A Little Busy" no longer resemble the same kindness, integrity, nobility, and selflessness in the previous film and television works, but are exhausted, ruined, forgetting justice, and unscrupulous.
The director is like a scalpel, analyzing human nature into three parts, putting the bloody truth in front of the audience, full of penetrating power.
As the saying goes: There are no fish when the water is clear, and there are no disciples when people are observant.
Not only Stephana and Emily, everyone in the world has a dark side of human nature and has their own little secrets, but they are not as exaggerated as they are.
As the male protagonist in "The Perfect Stranger" said: The reason why I don't want to play this game is not because I conceal something, but because our relationship is fragile. Everyone is, and some people are more fragile.
Just as netizens said: Don’t look through the phones of your husband (wife) or boyfriend (girlfriend), because no one can walk out of the other’s phone with a smile.
Don't test human nature, because human nature cannot stand the test.
But on the other hand, no matter what Stefanna, Emily and others have done, sooner or later others will know.
If you don't know, you can't do it yourself. Don't do bad things for others, knock on the door in the middle of the night without being surprised.
