At the end of the movie, Adele and the lead singer of the band looked at each other and kissed, so I let go of the rope in my hand and let the balloon tied to the groom floated into the sky, and I was amused in front of the screen. , It is not an exaggeration to say that it is laughing like a pig.
Yet this is pretty much the only time I've ever seen this French comedy film and laughed.
And waiting for the first 90 minutes of this shot was, well, a bit of a torment.
Of course, the meticulous foreshadowing and burying of the stalks in the front made the audience drowsy, and in the last ten minutes the reversal, high energy, and climaxes are the usual routines of many movies. .
It’s better to say that this is also the normal way of filming a movie. For two hours, the plot progresses layer by layer, the emotions slowly accumulate, the rhythm gradually becomes stronger, and the energy is accumulated until the end, which is more energetic than the so-called whole process. Laughing, smart and normal.
Although I am stupid, I can still understand the relationship between the characters and the jokes in the play:
Nothing is pleasing to the eye, always with a dark face, the cramming foreman Adele;
The lead singer of the band who temporarily substitutes, does not understand the atmosphere, and always feels out of the situation;
A photographer who looks like an expert but lags behind the times, a greedy and lustful but self-righteous photographer;
Wearing pajama pants to work, with good eyesight, the bride's brother-in-law;
The brain is short-circuited, and only knows how to calculate short-term gains and losses, a black worker with a stupid face;
As well as other almost all employees, B, C and D...
Of course, there is no shortage of self-defense, and the protagonist boss Marx who has to fight the fire everywhere.
It is said that there is no "Qiao" to get married, but the so-called "Qiao", either because of poor planning, or because of emergencies, in short, they are all made by themselves.
The plot of the film progresses quite simply, the wedding progresses slowly, problems arise - solve problems, everyone comes out to play twice, Max and Adele clean up the mess, sparring all the way to the end, interspersed with one or two shots and a few moments. The lines talk about the personal troubles of the protagonists.
The ending is naturally a happy ending. The last big problem is that everyone will work together to save it, the twists and turns will turn, the bride will be satisfied, the grievances between the wedding team will disappear, and there will be a happy, happy tomorrow.
The plot is lighthearted and humorous, and it is a high-end French product that sells well.
It just... looks a little tired.
First of all, there are many characters, and everyone has their own drama... For a stupid person like Xiaomin, it is inevitable to have the embarrassment of being wrong. What's even more terrifying is that he was originally blind, but in the second half, many employees wore the same headgear and uniform, so... Who are these...
Xiaomin once complained about "Perfect Stranger", and the point is that there are many characters. However, it is clear that "Perfect Stranger" has made an effort to make the audience recognize people. Not only is the image distinguished, but everyone is in the same scene, and the contrast can also speed up the recognition speed.
In "Unfortunately Not Getting Married", there are not only many characters, but also many scenes. The scenes of the supporting roles are cut into different scenes such as the back kitchen, the atrium, the living room, and the utility room. So... who is this... where is this...
In the end, the pacing of the film has a wonderfully sluggish feel. Such a hilarious comedy that was supposed to be a chicken flying dog jumps around, but there are almost no short shots and quick edits, but a lot of long shots. We often see two french guys talking at length in one scene and then... sleepy.
So... who is this... where is this... why is it so slow...
Such confusion pretty much cancels out most of the laughs in the movie and makes the whole process less enjoyable.
However, this is not a problem of the quality of the film itself. If it has to be blamed, it can only be said that it is caused by cultural barriers and its own shooting style, although it has achieved good results and awards in France. However, if it is extended to the outside world, it may still be unsatisfactory.
I still have to applaud the romantic imagination of the French, and I am a little envious of their free and indulgent attitude towards life. But movies, well, comedies the French make for themselves, and we don't laugh, it's no big deal.
