" Always Be My Maybe " (Always Be My Maybe)!
First of all, I would like to thank netizens for their passionate translations. The translation of "Two Big No Guess" is too easy to make people think of the classic romance film "Two Little No Guess".
Although they are all romance films, there is still a slight guess about the different emphasis between the two films. As a new film produced by Netflix, the commercial atmosphere of "Two Great No Guess" is too strong, it is clearly to harvest traffic funny. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "adult version" of "Liang Xiao Wu Gu" . All kinds of large-scale spoken language, sexual suggestion, side ball flying all over the sky, and the heroine is still the "mouth cannon" god Huang Ali . It is entirely conceivable how poisonous and explosive the lines of "Two Great No Guess" are.
Netflix products must have their own topicality and traffic hot spots. Most of the keywords in "Two Great No Guess" come from actors . The first is the comedy talk show god Huang Ali. Last year, because of the talk show "Baby Cobra" (Little Cobra), she was very popular in the United States. With laughter and cursing, high-energy self-defeating, and unrestricted pollution, she became very popular.
Huang Ali, who has been pregnant for seven months, talks about marriage, love history, career, and gynecological diseases on stage with her pregnant belly. She talked about feminism, racial issues, ideal life, and of course the sudden "driving" like an old driver. The climax of the one-hour program was repeated, and the audience was amused non-stop. Every line seems to be relaxed, but it is carefully designed. Every action seems impromptu, and it takes time to think about it.
The media commented on her: It took her entire first half of her life to prove that women, especially silent Asian women, can also be funny, amused, and cheesy, and thus gain widespread love and support. There is no need to worry about being treated indifferently. Because humor is more lasting than beauty; the soul is more attractive than the outside.
As for the protagonist, Randall Park, who plays with Huang Ali , also has a lot of background. Randall Park was one of the founders of the "Asian American Theater" during his studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
He co-starred in "Neighbors War" with Hollywood comedy star and director Seth Rogen. Later, he became famous for his topical work "Interview". This has allowed him to get roles in super A-level blockbusters like "Ant-Man and the Wasp" and "Aquaman" in recent years. The story of "Two Great No Guess" tells the love entanglement of the childhood sweethearts of the male and female protagonists played by the two . Although the two had no guesses, they separated for more than ten years due to accidental reasons. After adulthood, the heroine Sasha became a nationally renowned chef. The protagonist Marcus continues to live in the original place as a plumber repairman and part-time lead singer of the band.
Sasha, who was already engaged, was ruthlessly abandoned by the businessman's husband. She was discouraged and decided to start again. During this time, he just returned to his hometown to open a new restaurant, so he renewed his relationship with Marcus.
The story of "Two Great No Guess" can be said to be very clichéd, and it is a script that Hollywood has long used. New rivals have been designed for the two of them. When the relationship between the two parties rekindles, various obstacles are set up, and various people continue to fight out, forcing the protagonist to make the final choice.
The funniest part is Keanu Reeves' friendly cameo . After watching "Prepare for War", many fans left Keanu Reeves with a handsome image of "Crying and Killing God".
When Keanu Reeves played himself in the film "in his true colors", and he fought fiercely with the heroine played by Huang Ali, the scene was indeed pleasantly surprised.
What's more, in the film, Keanu Reeves constantly laughed at himself, played cheaply, and pretended to be stupid. He was so nervous that he was punched hard by the male protagonist. Various interesting texts were intertextually squeezed out continuously. Jokes. The ending of the film is of course "A lover finally gets married", but the process is really hilarious. With the hard performance of the leading actors and supporting actors, the film whose story is lackluster is still some highlights. However, the sense of patchwork of the main story of "Two Great No Guess" is so strong that it almost degenerates into a "theatrical version" talk show of Huang Ali . It wasn't until the theme began to surface in the second half that I felt a little bit of film narrative.
Netflix, who is good at big data analysis, is really smart. The film almost covers the most popular topics at the moment . First and foremost is feminism. Huang Ali, played by Sasha direct actor in the film asks, "What man gives a woman a bag worth embarrassing, if the two of us it is the change over is not normal" .
In the film, Sasha's identity and status are obviously higher than that of the male protagonist Marcus. For the strong woman Sasha, she only hopes that Marcus can give her a sense of home and support her work, and not be embarrassed by the social prejudice that men are inferior to women , and even cause cracks in the relationship between the two.
The closure of the theme and the completion of love also come from the male protagonist Marcus's re-understanding of himself, successfully getting rid of gender stereotypes, fully supporting the female protagonist for true love, and stepping out of his comfort zone. In addition to women's rights, "Two Great Wuzai" also involves minorities, LGBT and other issues . For example, members of Indian bands who always lose weight; and Sasha's same-sex female assistant.
However, another major theme of the film may be a strong irony of consumerism . Keanu Reeves takes the heroine to the high-end restaurant, listening to the last sound of the slaughtered deer while wearing headphones, while eating dishes made from its meat. All kinds of weird dishes can't satisfy the male protagonist's appetite at all. Even if he is not full, a meal actually cost more than 6000 US dollars.
The custom suit recommended by Keanu Reeves to the male protagonist even cost tens of thousands of dollars, which scared the male protagonist almost unable to leave the fitting room.
But at the end of the film, consumerism is wiped out by family warmth . Sasha left the high-end restaurant opened for white people and opened a small restaurant that used the family meals of Marcus's mother as a recipe. There are no extravagant tableware and exquisite gimmicks here. Instead, it returns to the original appearance of the food, attaches importance to the feeling of home, does not pursue high prices, and only highlights the "initial intention of eating" .
"Two Big No Guess" is a clever commercial comedy , the actors are pleasing, gimmicks and tricks are more attractive than the story itself, coupled with the ridicule and cater to popular social topics, the film presents a "kaleidoscope" like Appeal. There is always something that can arouse your attention and make you smile.
Based on this alone, Netflix's goal was achieved. For example, for me, seeing such a "different" Keanu Reeves is worth 100 minutes to watch a movie. Finally, I have to say that many of the episodes of the film are pretty good, and it is estimated that many people will collect the original soundtrack of the film !
