The characters to the plot are a bit lackluster, the sensational is very cheap, and finally became the Indian version of "The Days Leaving Lei Feng". We Chinese people are too easy to be moved, and a little bit of reality is reflected, and tears fill our eyes. It can be seen that the air of our life is How wicked and thin. And how low our demands on entertainment films are. Its commercial success is not due to the appropriate use of story, characters, or genre elements, but because it reflects the medical problems in China. Social issues can become a commercial selling point, allowing the audience to have a catharsis, which is a bit twisted.
The social topic has been brewing for a long time without being able to find an outlet, and finally it can be detonated by a commercial film. This is a kind of dislocation, relying on kidnapping social phenomena in exchange for success, and success is not the success of the film. It's some kind of topical, phenomenal success. This again illustrates a tragedy in our society, how much repression it hides and cannot be expressed through normal media. The audience can only project their emotions into the film to gain a sense of identity.
Commercial films can certainly take on the role of social media, like some Korean films. Very political. But this "Medicine God" has a good idea, but it's still not ready, and the success of its topic cannot cover up its lack of narrative and film.
And this kind of film, although the contradiction is revealed, it is stitched up again. In the end, it will inevitably become a subtitle movie, a title movie. Give four or five headings the outcome of our medical success today. We can also see what a bad film censorship environment we are in. Therefore, it is not easy for this film to come out, and there is no way to be demanding.
Korean films such as "The Defender" also involve more justice and ethics. The difference is that, based on the torture of human nature, society, and rights, the characters are also complicated and ambiguous, with more speculative rationality. And we have established a hero with a bit of a theme through various emotional tear-jerking methods, and his actions and transformations are not very convincing. Most valuable of all is that it sparks a discussion about institutions. I heard that this film has started to be suppressed, wish it good luck.
