A movie deceived by its name

When I watched this film, I was in a very sad state. I didn’t know much about it. I didn’t read the introduction, didn’t read the ratings, and didn’t pay attention to anything. The only thing that attracted me was its name. I thought the content of the film would definitely match the title. The whole style should be gloomy, dark and depressing. In fact, the first half is true. The people in the film are all out of business. A shop selling all kinds of suicide tools is very popular. In reality, this kind of thing was originally a Shocking things are actually happening in the film.

People have lost hope of life, the residents of the town are uneasy, everything is full of black irony, but when I see it, I find that a child who loves life and is full of hope has been born in such a growing environment. He is a store The owner's son, Aaron, has all the qualities that are out of tune with the town, and freaks out his parents, so they try their best to make Aaron conform to the "normal", become depressed, and even push Aaron to the top. In the end, it backfired. Allen always loved life, and finally Allen made his parents realize the meaning of life and the joy of life.

"Suicide Shop" adopts a relatively joyful singing and dancing form to defuse the sharp black tone of the story itself. Although neither the tune nor the voice of the actors is naturally comparable to that of films such as "Les Miserables", the lyrics still count It is very interesting. The guests have all kinds of strange requirements for death, not nausea, no pain, no disfigurement, and no disturbing people. It turns out that even if life reaches a dead end, suicide is really not that easy, and you have to have money to spend.

The shadow of death will naturally not hang over the sky forever. When a child who was born full of joy came to this small shop, all the audience had already guessed the ending. If you want to talk about the dissatisfaction with the film, it is that the director tried too hard to reverse the dark color of the early stage in the later stage. From the singing and dancing style full of spoof and imagination in the first half, it just went to the Disney animation-like family fun route, even if the audience has always They are more willing to see Hope Come and Happy Ending, but the endless happy singing and dancing is indeed suspected of going too far, but it weakens the original appeal. However, considering the audience of cartoons, these "love of life" preaching elements can also be accepted and understood. No one would hope that an animation will teach children how to commit suicide until the end...
