I remember that I evaluated Jia Zhangke's movies, that is, if Jia Zhangke made a movie with "two people talking in one scene for a day", I would still watch it. Because that is the expression and thinking of normal society.
So what to say? The director of this film obviously wanted to make a surrealistic film about human nature. In other words, the consideration of the bourgeoisie, middle class, and proletariat in the face of rules and resources. But no matter what kind of film it is, art also comes from life, and you can't make it out of thin air no matter how much you zoom in on life! Even exaggerated obscenity! For this film, the problem came out!
First: Skyscrapers are like a country. If there is a country, there will be an army, or the police, even if it is an urban management officer (just kidding here). In such a big building, there will be a policeman from beginning to end, and it will be Quick flash! Imagine if you were of the upper class, living on the top floor of a building, and driving sex every day, wouldn't you raise a few younger brothers, or thugs, who were called Jiading in ancient times, and masters in archery! Let the lower class challenge the upper class?
Second: Although Charlotte is very beautiful as a courtesan, she also gave birth to an illegitimate child to the building designer, and then her mother gave her blessing to the 26th floor! Then it's impossible that the main characters of the three classes, high school and low, like her! Radish and cabbage, each has its own love, which is a bit ridiculous!
Third: I know Hirst is charming, so it's not like most of the women in the building like him. The young woman over there who is pregnant with two children is also fascinated, can't you? Charlotte didn't take care of the children anymore, and became a professional fan girl of Dousen? What about life? play?
Fourth: Except for the nudity at the beginning of Dousen, the later erotic scenes are not well filmed, saying that you are still holding a pipa and half-covering your face, if you want to refuse, but also welcome, in order to tease us, but we are not aroused by the slightest desire (Is it true? I am too pure, hee hee)!
Fifth: The three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-cornered-love filming is a mess. If the director's style is found in China, it is the closest to Wong Kar-wai! Although Wong Kar Wai's movies are also more narcissistic, it seems that all the heroines will like Tony Leung, but the relationship between the characters will not be so complicated, and let us get caught up in the plot, and the heroine should like Tony Leung, I think so as a man! The director committed the same disease as Zhang Jiajia - stepping on N boats! The last paragraph is not clear! Even Wong Kar-wai can't save "you". Imagine if Zhang Jiajia only focused on bringing together Tony Leung and Du Juan, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhang Rongrong, Eason Chan and Beibi, Jiajia and Ma Su, Dapeng and his daughter-in-law, and finally Jia Ling, two of the foodies. The three paragraphs are well told and the movie will not be madly complained! Elementary school students all know that writing essays should focus on the topic directly. They want to express too much, and often they can't express anything!
Sixth: If you want to explore human nature, you can come up with a credible reason. Just like in "Snowpiercer", a power outage triggers a series of bloody cases.
In short, this is a film that tries to convey a shocking thought but forcibly pretends to fail! I know that there will probably be some academics who will criticize my "small peasant thought" with higher-level things such as art or culture! But movies are not works of art, even if they are appreciated by niche people, they will pay high prices to collect them! Movies are always for the people, the box office is created by the people, including film critics is also the right of the people. Some time ago, it was a joke to watch the film critics association hold a meeting to deprive the people of their right to evaluate movies!
