The right way to open a chick comedy

Gudrun 2022-03-31 09:01:04

Most chick movies generally refer to romantic movies with women as the core and men as supporting roles. There are many films of this type every year in the United States, among which the classics include "Single Diary", "American Sweetheart" and "When Harry Met Sally". Popular popular ones include "Twilight" and "Fifty Shades of Grey", and although China has not developed a mature commercial system around "chick movies", in recent years, there have been some passing or even excellent commercial chicks. Movies - "33 Days of Broken Love", "Perfect", "Like You", "Back to Twenty", "Beijing Meets Seattle".

In general, the style of chick's movies is to tell some stories that are loved by female audiences from the perspective of women and love as the main line. What you don't usually see in life is how much stuff is on the screen.

In recent years, it may be that chick movies are too subtle to express the most real, direct and pure white thoughts of women. Grid (director of "Bridesmaids", "Ghostbusters" and "The Spy") developed a new branch for the chick movie.

Discuss the male reproductive organs on the screen without reservation, show the private hobby of men on the screen without reservation, examine the stinky men in the world from the most feminine perspective, and develop with the most feminist attitude that belongs to women My own story, using the most basic and feminine attitude to narrate exaggerated stories, the plot is simple and easy, the dialogue is direct and bursting, and it directly creates a new type of comedy that can compete with the "bad boy gang" - chick R-rated comedy.

And "My Spy Ex-Boyfriend" is such a typical chick comedy.

She inherited the bestie friendship from "Bridesmaids" 7 years ago, and continued the funny plot of "Female Spy" 2 years ago with women as "agents". Deep road action comedy.

What's even more interesting is that this movie is first of all an action movie with the theme of secret agents, but because the director is a woman, the "simple and rough" handling of the action makes the characters in the plot more interesting—— For example, the rough Indian agent who likes to show off his Harvard degree, such as the DJ Uber driver who suffered a headshot, such as the cool parents of the second girl, such as the "two stupid American women" that can be seen everywhere in Europe (hahaha Hahahaha), such as the unexpectedly cute Russian gymnastics agent, the inadvertent Edward Snowden (hahahahaha) and so on, each of which is impressive and can't help but laugh.

What is even more commendable is that usually the female secondaries in this comedy configuration are almost always the kind of nervous and noisy characters who are easily annoying, and with the addition of the female director, with the performance of Kate McKinnon, It makes the second female lead of this film into a lovely friend who talks a lot and stops at the end, righteous and optimistic, and makes the two female protagonists are very lovable characters on the screen, which makes people feel good.

All in all, it's a really good popcorn chick comedy, and we all know that all "Popcorn" starts with the kind of "you don't learn anything from it but it gets you going." Have fun for an hour or two".

Therefore, if you are still thinking of resigning from work on National Day, if you are still thinking of resigning from work before the Chinese New Year, there are as many people on Line 3 as in the market, and the Didi driver can't find a way to take you around halfway. An hour has caused you to be late and a series of real life troubles that happen every day, so come in and watch this movie as soon as possible.

As I said earlier, this movie isn't going to teach you anything, but it's meant to make you happy.

And people, isn't the most important thing to be happy?

-Finish-

PS:

1. I laughed 2333333333 when the toilet swallowed the U disk.

2. The female boss of the secret agent is Gillian Anderson, the goddess of Kate McKinnon since she was a child, and she is the object of Kate's lust since she was a child, so she basically starred in the movie 2333333

3. Don't think this is just a simple comedy, the plot is actually very compact, and there is actually a reversal at the end. It can be said that she is a very powerful female director.

4. The translated name makes many people think that this is a straight male movie like "Predecessor 3", but in fact it is a very strong feminist movie.

5. How strong is it? It's almost this group of actresses and female directors who said through the camera lens: The old ladies tell you that the old ladies will also shoot those bad things that your men shoot.

6. That... The lines and some plots are very bad. To be honest, although there will definitely be cuts, I still can't believe that this can be shown in the cinema. This can be said to be the progress of Chinese movies!

7. October is really tough! But it's fine! Venom is coming! !

    The development of the secret agent gimmick, although "My Spy Ex-Boyfriend" uses the European adventures of two ordinary older women to create a little hilarious jokes, but the absurd plot that does not emphasize logic at all, meaningless nonsense dialogue, and lackluster Hollywood Routines, all make the film in most of the time to bring only an extremely boring verbosity.

    Typical "one-sentence conceptual commercial films", similar to "The Next Door", "The Killer's Bodyguard", etc. - the starting point of the story is an interesting perspective, "What would happen if a killer was assigned a bodyguard. "...and then you can make up! The first half of the story is quite interesting, and the comedy is well done, full of subversion, self-deprecation, and parody. The characters of the two heroines are very successful! The middle began to become mediocre, and from Vienna onwards, it did not look like a spy movie at all, but pure spoof comedy. The ending scene can be said to be a complete collapse of the story line and characters. The reversal of the ex-boyfriend is illogical and inexplicable, and it is extremely blunt - please, the screenwriter, you just said through the mouth of the second male that your ex-boyfriend has true feelings! The settings of several villains and behind-the-scenes gangs and any U disk information are completely ignored, which makes people feel like "it's time for me to get off work, let's do it"! Anticlimactic is also a common problem with this type of commercial film. Although she is a new female director, the film really has a lot of bad tastes of low-cost B-level films. This point is better grasped. It not only highlights the comedy, but also adds some new ideas.
