Even after the second brush, there are still many emotions. Let’s write a few points first:
1. Incomparably rich imagination and outstanding performance techniques:
1. If you want to catch frogs, what tools will you bring?
In "Crazy Dating Beautiful City", an old grandmother brought a net bag, an umbrella, a stool and a grenade.
She sat by the river, opened her umbrella, stretched out her net pocket, and threw the grenade into the river. In the rain of exploding frogs, she packed a bag full.
2. If you are poor and want to perform, what instrument will you use?
In "Crazy Dates in Mirador", the instruments on stage are a newspaper, a refrigerator, a vacuum cleaner and an abandoned wheel.
3. You are chased by a mafia convoy, what weapons will you use and protect yourself?
In "Crazy Dates in Mirador," four old ladies use pans, tongs and hats to fight off a massive mafia force.
As for the last one - the old lady stood in the middle of the road, with her feet outstretched, her heel tripped the car a big somersault, the car rolled over the bridge and fell into the chimney of the passing ship, which exploded into a firework in the sky.
A concert without real "instruments"
2. The first five minutes and the ten seconds at the end are exactly where the director's skills lie:
"Is the show over? Don't you want to talk to grandma? Is it over like this?" Grandma asked at the beginning of the movie. The grandson, the grandson with autism, didn't say a word.
At the end of the movie, the old grandson turned his head and said, "Yes, it's over, grandma."
The story of grandma has ended, and she used unparalleled courage to save the grandson.
The story of grandma came to an end, and the grandson finally got out of the abyss of autism and answered the question of grandma
3. Several layers of "mirror in the mirror" pictures give people a strong shock:
the first layer of "mirror in the mirror" pictures: the concert of the three sisters of Mirador when they were popular, grandma and grandson watching TV together.
The second-layer "mirror-in-mirror" picture: the three sisters are sitting on the bed, and the picture of "three-dimensional world (the world we are in)" is playing on the TV.
The "Mirror in the Mirror" picture on the third floor: The "Tour de France" picture displayed on the big screen in front of Sun Tzu while he was riding in the underground casino
. Just "watched" the whole movie like we did.
The "dream" we think about may just be an illusion created by others for us
4. Unparalleled black humor:
1. Grandma rented a pedal boat to chase the ship at the port, and rented it for 20 minutes for 1 franc. The boss stood on the bank watching grandma go away, while checking the time on the watch.
At the end of the film, the ending song was played, and the boss appeared on the screen. He was still standing there, maintaining that posture, and was still watching the time.
2. "HollyFood"
3. The popular burger cone version of the Statue of Liberty
V. Grandma's whistle and dog's bark:
There are only 56 lines in the whole film, most of which are narration and commentary, and the expressions of the characters are also Not particularly exaggerated, but the director went out of his way and chose to replace the lines with some other sounds - the whistle of the grandmother and the barking of the dog.
Grandma's whistle is used to train grandson to ride a bike. Her hurried whistle seemed to be urging her grandson to move faster. After the mafia punctured the tire, she stood beside the driver and whistled, her anxiety was evident. The dog was once crushed to the tail by the toy train, and has since barked at it when it saw the train pass by. As they arrived at Mirador, the frequency of the train passing increased, and the dog's bark expressed its fear of this strange world, including barking at the frog while eating the frog in the back, and turning to face the train when it passed by. The train screamed, and then looked back and tried to scare the frogs away with their calls—all so terrified and powerless.
6. The pace is slow, but it's very tense:
I don't know why, it always feels like my heart is hanging in the whole movie. There are so many unexpected developments in the film that I can't keep my eyes open. At the end, the mafia chase is a magic stroke. Such a slow-paced chase scene is not supposed to be appetizing at all, but it makes the heart beat faster.
grandma who tripped car with heel
I used to think that this story satirized America, the alienation of people brought about by industrialization, and the emptiness and sadness of modern life.
But in fact it is not - maybe the director has the intention to slap on the side, but this is not the theme.
This story is about a grandmother who stepped on a pedal boat across the Atlantic Ocean for her grandson, looking for clues about her grandson in the strange and indifferent streets and alleys with complex beauty, and got rid of the cruelty with the help of the kind three sisters The pursuit of the mafia, the story of returning to the hometown.
In fact, it is not those strange weapons that defeat the mafia, but the love of grandma. In front of her love, even the most vicious mafia had to give in three points. Her love finally rescued her grandson from the abyss of autism. She tried to communicate with him again and again, patiently discovered her hobbies and tried her best to satisfy them. When the grandson was controlled by the mafia and turned into a gambling tool, Still guarding him and taking him away.
Although Meidu has a very dark side, "Crazy Dating Meidu" is not so much a satire as it is a redemption.
At first, I wanted to give a five-star rating, but later I felt that strictly speaking, I could give it four and a half stars. After the second brush, it is a proper five-star.
