I have to admit that this movie actually disappointed me a bit. I originally thought it was a funny comedy, but after watching it, I felt that the trailer was a good movie. Director Gary Winnick directed Summer Greenland's Web", but my favorite work is "Thirty Girls and One Flower", the female version of "Flying into the Future", so I actually had expectations for this movie at first, but I hoped to watch it. It's a laugh-out-loud comedy, but the movie laughs don't seem to be as good as expected.

The story tells that two girls Liv (played by Kate Hudson) and Emma (played by Anne Hathaway) met at the Plaza Hotel (the Plaza Hotel) and witnessed a dream wedding together, which made them full of marriage since childhood. Looking forward, the biggest dream of the two of them is to hold a June wedding at the Plaza Hotel, becoming the June bride and becoming each other's bridesmaids. After a few years, the two finally waited for each other's lover to make a promise. It must be unfolded on the same day. In the face of such an accident, how should two friends who are like sisters face it....

The main point of the movie is to describe two friends who are glued together. For the dream wedding they have been looking forward to since childhood, they have changed from friends to enemies. The interesting thing in the movie is that the two originally planned to change the wedding date of the other party, but due to various frictions, it became more and more intense. It sounds a bit absurd that the two want to destroy each other's wedding, but the wedding has an irreplaceable position in the heart of every woman, which is why the heroine in "The Secret of 27 Dresses", because of her longing for marriage , So I took the trouble to participate in 27 weddings. While wearing the bridesmaid costumes, I hoped that one day I would be able to wear bridal gowns, so "Bride Wars" played a woman's expectation for a perfect marriage, so that years of friendship can be Before the wedding, it seemed insignificant. Although there were a lot of laughs, but after careful thinking, there was a bit of sad irony behind each interesting paragraph. In the vernacular, there is "love but no friends", and I wonder why the movie should constantly belittle women. The ability to judge between love and friendship. When I see this, I sometimes think, "Will there really be two good friends who will cut off each other for the wedding??" This idea kept popping up in my mind while watching the movie. , "Is this the tension of the plot?!" This is how I convince myself...

After the two broke up, the two went from supporting each other to digging each other's wounds. Except for the naive and ridiculous tit-for-tat between the two, the film also seems to be I wanted to discuss the topic of marriage, but because I didn't focus enough, I couldn't scratch the itch, and it became a tasteless plot of the plot. "Food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." As the plot unfolded, it finally came to the wedding day. , originally wanted to make a big reconciliation, but because others interfered with it, it became the fuse, let the two start a full-fledged martial arts in the wedding, but inexplicably ended in haste, originally thought that the show was dragging the shed, and put Kate Harder on Anne Hathaway. At that moment of Sen, the moment of anticipation broke out, and it became a freezing point in an instant. The plot trend was unexpected. It was an unexpected one that I didn't know how to imagine. It also made me not know how to judge this movie. Is it "a woman's dream of marriage is sacred" or "friendship is better than love"? The end of the movie broke all my assumptions. I just felt that in the end, it was just a farce, like a family wine wedding, and a playful game. Broken friendship, but what's the point? To be honest, I don't really see it, and I don't really understand it...

Finally

Both actors are my two favorite actresses. This kind of complex makes me feel that it's a bit of a waste of their performance, but I think that if two girls are good friends, they may have different feelings. If so, maybe It can only be said that this movie is a specific movie for certain ethnic groups, and I just went in the wrong place. It is worth mentioning that, like "The Devil Wearing Prada", in recent years, this type of urban romantic comedy has to keep up with the times. A little bit of relationship, various fashion brands in "The Devil Wears PRADA" and VW in "Sex and the City" are like unlocking a desire in a woman's heart. In the movie "Bride Wars", she cooperated with Vera Wang, which also made her feel comfortable. The film rides this fashionable romance movie-style train.
