The production is exquisite. Although it is a co-production between India and France, the Indian style is obviously stronger. Of course, it was originally a story about an Indian.
Indian songs and dances really did come on, plus dynamic music? It still makes adrenaline surge. Although the dance plot of the French police is a little creative, it is really a little delayed.
The light and funny plots are still charming, such as being caught and wearing multiple pairs of handcuffs, sexual orientation, sexual perversion, etc. The most praised is the ex-husband being played seriously.
The blind old man is very good and educational, but this plot has appeared in various works more than once. So it's a little embarrassing to crash.
The most common problem raised by some audiences is that the film is too romantic and out of touch with reality. I feel this assessment is biased. First of all, we should realize that the film unfolds in a way of interspersed retrospectives, that is, A Jia's previous experience is the story he tells. And the end of the film is also very rigorous to give the answer. When the prison guard asked if it was true, Ajia answered half-truth. So from this point of view it is totally fine. He originally told the story to guide and educate three misguided children, so he could reasonably modify and whitewash the story.
To say that there are some things that are forced and reasonable, I think after telling this story, the three children suddenly became super obedient, which is a little bit. . .
All in all, still highly recommended. Romantic light comedy, check it out for yourself at leisure.
