As one of the first 16 imported films to be released in March, "Don't Look Back" is a part of the film, and its biggest selling point is Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci French two The big actress co-starred, and the French men's "forever love" and "recognized sexy star" both appeared on the big screen, which was enough to attract audiences into the theater.

But after watching the film, it made people a little worried about its box office in China, because "Don't Look Back" did not give full play to its advantages in the cast. Sophie and Monica joined the film, even as if they were selfish Destroy the image for the purpose. Actors sacrifice for the role, this is nothing, but the premise is that the film is exciting and good-looking on the basis of having an idea. If the actor can be held in an award-winning position, it is also worth it, but "Don't Look Back" basically can Let people come to this judgment: the image of the two beauties was ruined in vain.

The story of "Don't Look Back" is very simple. A car accident many years ago made the childhood Monica lose her previous memory, but the little sister Sophie who died in the car accident was deeply integrated into her soul. Nika lived as Sophie until she became a writer in middle age. She was schizophrenic because of memory difficulties while writing a novel that recalled her childhood and doubted her self-identity. The discovered photos take Monica back to where she grew up as a child, where she regains her memory, finds out the truth, and gets back on track with her normal life.

The plot and conflicts gradually emerged after the film was shown more than halfway through. Most of the first half of the film was almost entirely devoted to Sophie Marceau expressing the hysteria of a middle-aged woman. It was easy for the audience to mistake it for a film showing a middle-aged crisis. The family film: approaching menopause, family life is boring and trivial, creating bottlenecks, nowhere to talk about the anguish in my heart, these are enough to make a woman nervous and neurotic. The turning point of the accelerated pace of the film came after the mysterious photos appeared. The previous content could be compressed to ten or fifteen minutes. The time saved could be used to show the beauty of the two actresses and make up for the audience's lack of psychology (the whole film). There are almost no shots of the two actresses in the film that make people feel good-looking), and by the way, it can also play a contrasting role and enrich the level of the film.

This film, which is easy to make the audience quit or feel depressed, is because the director made a story that is easy to tell clearly and made it so confusing and magical, but failed to lead the audience to the core of the film to understand what it was trying to do. Anatomy of the Soul and Consciousness. There are many French literary films such as "Red", "White", "Blue" and other simple, fresh and aftertaste masterpieces. It can only be said that "Don't Look Back" is the same as the directors of some niche films in China. Telling stories, showing off tricks, and being self-defeating.

In terms of effect creation, "Don't Look Back" has a lot to do with Hong Kong and Japanese horror films. The music that suddenly sounded and the stunt of the characters "changing faces" in the film were a surprise, distracting the audience from exploring what it was trying to express. The power, the horror is there, but the wonderful disappears. After watching this movie for a few days, I recalled it, and I was still impressed by its description of family life. I got the impression that as a middle-aged person, we must pay more attention to the psychological condition of our family members and help each family member. Get out of the psychological predicament, this is the important meaning of family existence. It's a surprise that a thriller and a drama can smell like a family education movie.
