film is positioned as a sci-fi comedy theme. Some are just nonsensical jokes and a far-fetched farce. Under the so-called "sci-fi" coat, there is no substantial sci-fi element that can impress the audience. Neither hard nor soft, it is more of a daydream under the imagination, like a condensed expression of formalism. As the short board of the film, the plot exacerbates its chaotic trend and makes it appear as a family comedy as a whole, while the British cold humor shown by Simon Pegg is even paler and weaker under the conventional script, completely lost. Deserved funny faction combat power.

The mediocrity of the plot and the cliché of the characters are the main points of this farce, and the laughs of the film are all concentrated in the trailer of just a few minutes. From the beginning to the end of the film, the audience only had an unsatisfactory viewing experience and strong disappointment. It could have continued to deepen the debate on the good and evil in the depths of human nature, but in addition to what was mentioned at the beginning of the film, this content has become a It eliminates unnecessary "overtones" and makes the part outside the plot more hollow. Perhaps the director and screenwriter did not intend to highlight and sublimate this plot, but instead wanted to make it a dreamy stage play suitable for children.

Neil, a middle school teacher who was frustrated both emotionally and professionally, Katherine, a beautiful neighbor with high stature and appearance, and Ray, a like-minded friend with unstable brain stem cells, just look at the character settings, whether it is zero The IQ and character of the actor, as well as the form of drama represented, are extremely boring and pale. And the character of the film is only monotonous. What is even more ironic is that it is Neil's pet dog Dennis who is really distracted and playful. On the basis of the far-fetched jokes shown in the film, he succeeds To steal the spotlight and the show, it has created a lot of moving entertainment atmosphere.

The film strives to express that small people also have great achievements and lofty moral standards, and the setting of aliens choosing earthlings as experiments to determine the future direction of the earth starts the plot. This kind of presentation of big topics through small people, in the In recent years, it has also been badly played by many movies, and there has even been a phenomenon of "market excess". "Magic Teacher" obviously did not give a perfect answer. The final realization of the topic was also intuitively portrayed in Dennis, and Simon Pegg's protagonist set more tended to undertake and promote the whole play. Development, its "purpose" finally acts directly on the image of the dog. It has to be said that the film actually expresses the cute "mainstream" view of "the success of the dog, the failure of the human being".

In general, the valuable and meaningful laugh point of the film lies in the mutual blackness between the United Kingdom and the United States. The addition of the setting of officers is the source and beginning of mutual blackness. From the British police, the transportation system to the faces of the natives, the director satirized and ridiculed them all through exaggerated expressions. The opposite of this irony is the disgust and hatred for the American political culture, the work and life of the American president, the "welfare" of the military, and political interference, which are scattered in every corner of the film, driven by the so-called climax. It is expressed that the form is scattered and the spirit is not scattered, but it has no effect on the theme of the film, and it has become a "overtone" of success but failure.

As a sci-fi movie with neither soft nor hard, "Magic Teacher", coupled with the cliché and boredom of the jokes, is a failure among British cold humor works. Compared with the similarly titled "The Magician's Apprentice", Compared with the latter, the sci-fi elements are obviously scarce, and its pale plot is even more incomparable, and all it has is the self-conscious British joke. Not only that, the film even more intuitively "pays tribute" to the work "Fake God", no matter from which angle, it makes the audience see the temperament of an inferior product with a "false proposition".

Compared with the original version, the poor editing and translation are all the actions of the Chinese version, and in the case of rare humor, the film has been brought to the point of ineffable. Aside from the constraints of external factors, for the movie "Magic Teacher", Simon Pegg did not provoke the main part of the plot, which became the most regrettable point for the audience, and what just made up for this defect was how the dog became a god. Lu, in the absence of surprises but disappointments, "make up" as the firefighter of the film, and really played a role in saving it from dire straits, but in the end it was just normal in the chaos, nothing to do with the wind and moon, maybe this is the reason. The best "home".
