The whole movie looks fine until... 7 minutes 20 seconds. The previous design in the Internet gossip era is worthy of a star, but the design of the message flying to Michelle Yeoh with oil paint lines can be imagined by anyone who has made a short video.
The film talks a lot about Chinese traditions and ways of thinking, and piles up a lot of Chinese objects, but the film itself is a complete "banana" product that forcibly caters to Hollywood concepts. I pity their ignorance and wishful thinking. In addition, in 8012, I still play the American adventure story play mode: receiving tasks, getting to know assistants, difficult journeys, friends and enemies, setbacks in the middle, inspired, thought to be solved, bigger crisis, happy ending.
The film's lines and acting were also a disaster. The director asked the actors to forcibly respond with facial expressions to designated propositions such as "joy, sadness, grief, anger, and excitement" under close-up shots, and show everyone "Look, he/she started." Please ask the director to ask yourself, no matter what race or class in the world, do people externalize their emotions like this? I can't tell whether the audience is being fooled or the actors.
All the branch lines are handled in a mess. Take the male protagonist's sister and the entrepreneurial "poor" brother-in-law as examples, they are extremely blunt. In addition, the strong female and weak male lead to a great setback for the male masculinity. He can only round down and seek for an affair to satisfy himself and become the dominant party to gain psychological comfort; at the same time, the female stands in her subjective imagination and thinks she has clearly done it. Great sacrifice and extremely caring for each other's feelings, how come you are still wronged in the end. This kind of cliché is actually not discussed. If it is filmed, at least give something new or show something profound. It's completely a way to slap it from anywhere, and an adult can slap what he thinks of in his head. The final treatment is also skipped.
In addition, except for the actors who are set as harlequins, other young male characters all have sexy tendons, and the director sprinkles some water for a close-up for a few seconds. The main idea is that this can attract attention, but what I think is, this is a sports movie or "Home Cooking Recipe".mov?
I can only kindly think of the movie as a placebo for the general public: the living environment of the rich is extravagant and gorgeous, it doesn’t matter if you can’t enjoy it, I will show it to everyone, and have an eye addiction; and you can see that they are actually SB, Everyone was shocked and overacted, eyes widened and hysterical, as if they had taken drugs, or had eaten a lot of Taoist Jindan and got heavy metals exceeding the standard. So, let's not be too jealous.
PS. I checked that this film is known as a "box-office word of mouth" in North America, and I was shocked! If you think about it, it makes sense in that cultural desert. In the past two days, they have talked about insulting China and discriminating against China. If the level of box office represents whether the audience expresses their recognition of this value, then it can be said that this film should be "insulting China" and "racial discrimination" in a deep sense.
