In the past two days, I have heard too many voices praising the movie God of Medicine. Every time someone praised the movie one by one, I always thought: No way, this place is not so good? I have come up with an opinion myself: China is so short of qualified films that even a completely ordinary film can be given the best Chinese-language film. Maybe you watch ten Chinese movies in a year, and it happens that the remaining nine are just bad movies.
I already had this experience after watching the movie last Saturday, and I made my point clear. This is a qualified movie, and it can even get a good grade, but it is not excellent, let alone perfect. Why do I jump out and say these things? I always feel that a movie can't have only one voice, which is wrong. No movie is perfect, so that everyone can't fault it. There are too many compliments, and I'm a little annoyed. I'll start with the characters and talk about what I think is wrong with this movie.
This movie has a feature that everyone has heard about, tearjerking and touching. I can admit that I cried at the cinema, and it wasn't one or two lesbians who were sobbing next to me, but it didn't feel right. Hey, it's because this sensationalism is deliberate, drive slowly, and see these leukemia patients lined up in a large row on the side of the road to watch Xu Zheng take off his masks. When I think about it again, this is really too deliberate! I think the really touching thing should be the more powerful voice of Xu Zheng in the court, which came from an ordinary voice who just wanted to help others. It's a pity that the court's play said a few words and got in the car.
There is also a major problem with this feature, which came too late and did not pave the way. Friends who have seen the movie know that Xu Zheng's mentality changed after the death of Wang Chuanjun's character. The little friend broke up (similar to the pancake man) The first half of the movie is over, and think about any emotions in the first half of the movie. Is it a foreshadowing? Except for Xu Zheng and his son and his father, in the end, this emotional foreshadowing was abolished. To be honest, except for the role of Wang Chuanjun and Xu Zheng from the beginning to the middle, the relationship between the remaining few people is based on Huangmao-dancing girl-priest. Now you know why the two who died are the other two. Wang Chuanjun and Xu Zheng are the same father characters, which can give Xu Zheng a big blow. You say that this change is forced or not. For the advancement of the movie, you have to kill a good person. If you kill a good person, Xu Zheng can no longer be indifferent. Is this really good?
If one dies, the other provocative character must also die. That deceased not only sublimated Xu Zheng again, but also blocked a wave of police, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, making Xu Zheng more courageous, and then the story of making up money later. I think if a character exists for the plot, it is really a relatively simple approach. If you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not the character who pushes the plot, but the arrangement is clear. This kind of story is interesting, but it is not good enough. I also avoid talking about the growth process that Xu Zheng himself should have. Instead, it grows savagely. This is what I am not satisfied with.
In addition, I won't say anything about the woman and the priest, the inexplicable scene and the harlequin, I repeat, the setting is extremely stupid.
There is another role, that is the policeman in Zhou Yiwei. I am even more dissatisfied with this. I most want to see something like "Prisoner" in the movie, where the police do the police, but on the other hand, Xu Zheng is also doing his own thing. Private life, until the first confrontation, collision, confrontation between the two. But this movie, hey, the role of Zhou Yiwei is to serve correctly, there is no flash point, the red face turns white, it is really boring enough. There are only two scenes with Xu Zheng, one is related to the domestic violence of his ex-wife (this movie has never dealt with Xu Zheng again), one is about Zhou Yiwei arresting people, killing Huang Mao, and the other treating guests to drink. What about interaction? This is the three steps of putting elephants in the refrigerator.
I think by virtue of the story and characterization, it can only be said that this movie character serves the story and is not outstanding. This is also the most important reason why I think it is ordinary. The sublimation is abrupt and forceful, sensational and deliberate. It left a lot of problems, not solved in the movie, and not necessarily solved in reality.
This is a dividing line
In 7.7, I did the second review, and I felt that my views in some places were a little wrong. The movie is indeed a relatively good grade. This time I think the music is a little weak, and the movie should have been deleted (Lu Yiyi died in the hospital with only one toilet. Shots lined up at the door), so the editing was a bit of a problem. I reserve the blunt view of the story, but the overall rhythm and development are all right. In fact, my social experience also has a certain influence on my judgment, which is different from that of most people. Looking at it with more emotions, the movie is very worthy of recognition.
The characters are actually a bit more plump than the first time I watched it. The dancer's scene is mainly about drinking in a nightclub. The priest is still not very good, but the acting skills of the actors are very good, so it can't be counted as a deduction. I still reserve my opinion on the role of Zhou Yiwei, it is really bad to let him take the blame, he did nothing wrong.
The contradiction in the whole movie is actually caused by Cheng Yong. He started selling medicines, and there is no turning back. Should Lu Yiyi's death be blamed on him? He did convict himself, but in fact he did extend Lu Yiyi's original lifespan. There is no way to resolve this contradiction. The film did not solve this problem very well. Instead, Cheng Yong was burdened all the time. In fact, it was not a particularly good solution in my opinion.
I also think that the actual meaning of the story in the movie is also very important. It is indeed a very meaningful story, and it is worth everyone's understanding and thinking. The ending subtitles are too fast, so I can see that the survival rate has increased from 30 to 85, which is very important. Okay.
There are also some small details of the movie to share with you:
1 Why is Lu Yiyi who died? When this Lu Yiyi answered Cheng Yong’s call for the first time, the doctor said that your constitution was not good. After two days without taking medicine, your platelets dropped again. It can be seen that Lu Yiyi may be one of the patients who need to rely on drugs the most. one.
2 Why did Peng Hao die, because the car was not his and he never drove it. At the beginning of the bicycle chase scene, it showed that he couldn't get out in time. Later, he sipped his own poisonous milk: "Give me a drive and I won't die." It turned out to be really dead.
3 Cheng Yong has become more respectful to women. In fact, I am very disgusted with domestic violence, and I am also very unhappy that this label has been attached to Cheng Yong, but he made a change when he saw her daughter at the hostess' house. , He found out that it is very difficult for a woman to bring a sick daughter. Combined with the previous nightclub thing, Cheng Yong is actually a little better, but I still don't like this scene.
