I didn't choose gang life but gang life chose me Not I chose gang life but gang life chose me

Excerpted from Banana Peel Movie Review Network www.talkmoive.cn

At the beginning of the film, it seemed that the plot followed the path of a peaceful family reunion comedy, but this warmth was broken after the death of the adoptive mother. The atmosphere of the film has also plunged into the tension that the director needs. The two people who are incompatible are closely linked by "escape", even to the point of being unable to stop, just like the little fat man is always talking on his lips. The sentence of "I didn't choose the gang life, but the gang life chose me." It seems that the truth can be revealed long ago, and it has become a fait accompli.

The natural scenery and simple folk customs of New Zealand have left a deep impression on the audience in this film. There is no deliberately contrived funny, and the plot is naturally smooth, so that the reasonable and unreasonable are accepted by the audience. As a comedy Movie, some exaggerated plots in this film are also handled just right, at least the audience can understand that kind of madness. Of course, cultural differences have also become a funny way in this film, perhaps the existence of such differences is the reason The reason why this film has become more reasonable is that the director's commendable handling is to make this difference understandable to the audience, and it is not a satire. The whole film has a high integrity, unlike many low-quality comedies. The plot is deliberately pieced together, but as the plot develops, the audience finds it ridiculous.

The little fat man himself is very happy, and the combination of one old and one young is also quite predictable, and this little fat man who likes to play tricks has been a factor of instability from beginning to end. He has a lot of skills and learned to use a gun. It can be regarded as a rogue who can master martial arts and no one can stop him. In the process of being chased all the way, he became an internet celebrity. When he met passers-by for help, he ran into a brainless fan, until he finally encountered a heavy siege, racing his car and shouting. The old man was frightened, and he even shot at the old man.

Such a simple comedy, although there is also an obvious emotion in it, but the film is not provocative or promiscuous from beginning to end. The whole film has a stable narrative, and the film has a good sense of rhythm. This uncomplicated and interesting story is told with a sense of joy, and it seems that it is the pursuit and love of movies among the ordinary.

    Could be better, but it's already beautiful! Maybe I have never paid attention to New Zealand movies before, so the movie viewing experience is very novel and I like it very much. The performance, photography and rhythm are very good. The story itself is mediocre. The acting skills of the young actors are simply natural, and the comedy elements are particularly good. Survival in the wilderness makes me think of Li Juan's "Winter Ranch" in a flash. OST is great.

    3.5; The New Zealand version of Moonrise Kingdom, the jungle version of mad flowers at the end, heart-warming healing, fresh and gratifying, young people experience growth, old people out of trouble, "It is the gang life that chooses us."
