After reading it, I specifically checked the screenwriter. Girl, I wrote the first season of "South Park", and recently edited "Shameless", which seems to be a consistent heavy taste. "Love Is Not Spicy" is hers. The first film work, the script sold for $1,500,000 (the treatment of American screenwriters is really enviable...).
As usual, let’s talk about the inspiration of this film for me:
First, the comedy paragraphs can be separated from the main story line. The entire highway part of this film has no effect on the progress of the relationship between the hero and the hero, but it does not seem to be abrupt, on the contrary, there is a kind of pleasure of running away. The reason is probably that although this film is under the banner of the romantic love type, the theme is actually more biased towards "sisterhood" and female growth. The plot of two girls driving on the road and going to the wedding to chase the male lead immediately reminds people of the "My Girlfriend Early Days" that was released a while ago, but this film is obviously more handled. The sweetness. Several women sit at the same table and talk about men and sex while eating and talking. This is also a common arrangement in female friendship films, but this film comes with a song and dance that praises the big J8, which is placed in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and there are political metaphors, and it is also high-level ("South Park" is always like this!). Is there any allusion to the "montage" of trying on clothes in a grandma's clothing store? Ask an expert to answer.
Second, the fixed stage of R-rated comedy. Of course, this is difficult to implement under this kind of domestic review system, but learning to learn is also quite interesting. Vomiting on the face, semen sticking to clothes, urine on the body, feces collapse, maggots, these are all common. After joining the relationship between the sexes, you can edit it like this: J8 gets stuck in your mouth, makes love to fly out, drives to pick up things and is mistaken for BJ... In short, how to exaggerate how the nausea comes from, and the giver is a female. .
Speaking of women, let's talk about something else. I always see a bunch of people talking about the "Little Girl Movie", but how many people understand the origin and evolution of this concept? Anyway, "Love Is Not Spicy" is classified into the category of chick movies, not only because it is a movie about chicks, but also because this film was made for women. There are a lot of private things that women can only do, private talks that can only be spoken between women, and a lot of dramatic descriptions of women’s love psychology. There is no beauty or romance. R-rated films can even test the ability of being a filmmaker. It is necessary to describe the situation in real life more accurately, and to exaggerate and strengthen it, and use vulgar smiles to release the audience's usual depressed emotions. The "American Pie" series is an R-rated comedy filmed for big boys, and "Love Is Not Spicy" is an R-rated comedy filmed for women. They are always good at self-blacking the same sex and beautifying the opposite sex (dream lover). We saw the big beauty Cameron Diaz making a fool of herself in it. Photography and lighting made them ugly and funny. After tearing off all the disguise, we can still find true love. How touching. . The screenwriter really understands the female psychology.
Finally, let's summarize the core of the story: the popular big girl with blond hair and blue eyes also has psychological barriers in developing intimacy. Only by bravely pursuing, not afraid of failure, and opening up can we find a true lover.
Mainstream right?
Turning mainstream values into an R-rated comedy is a manifestation of Hollywood's diversity.
