★★★☆☆ (It may be that the expectations are too high, so I am slightly disappointed. The historical theme hopes to include too many events, and it has always been the clue to make money and support the family to drive the plot, and there is not much depth and expansion. The space for Uncle Huang seems to be It's very big, but in fact, there is no chance to play well. In short, the story is relatively pale, there is no chance to shape the characters, and the reputation is a bit inflated.)
Looking at the 52nd Big Bell Awards Ceremony, the international market has covered almost all awards, best film, best director, best screenwriter, best protagonist... It shows how popular it is. Therefore, with high expectations, I spent money to buy the source of the film, but after watching it, there are only two words that linger, and that is - disappointment.
The creator hopes to use the big narrative to tell the true feelings, but unfortunately, I have to say, I really didn't tell it well. Even my favorite Uncle Huang, in this film, failed to create a vivid character with flesh and blood, but just listed the stories one by one. So although I am a big fan of Uncle Huang, I finally realize the reality, he is just an actor and can only act hard.
The story is too long. Deshun, in order to make a promise to his father, supported the whole family. One time he chose to go to Germany for his younger brother to go to college, and the other time he chose to go to Vietnam for his younger sister to get married, but in the final analysis, it was all for money. , without progress, it feels repetitive. The importance of the special location of the international market to the family is not reflected, and the setting of the two roles of aunt and uncle is also redundant. I wonder why Ms. Meilan was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Is it because the source of the film I watched deleted something?
Finally, let’s talk about the male protagonist, why am I not enthusiastic about Deshun? I think it may be that Deshun gave me too many preconceived impressions. Xiao Deshun has created an image of a big brother who is stubborn, stubborn, and full of sense of responsibility; when he becomes Uncle Huang, his temperament changes immediately; but the old Uncle Huang needs to play back the gen and stubbornness of his youth, this repeated contrast Makes me extremely uncomfortable. Well, all I can say is, I saw three protagonists in the movie.
Finally, let’s talk about the director and screenwriter. It can only be that they are all immature, the emotions are too superficial, and the structure of the interlude also makes the fate of the characters in the film lack suspense. It was originally possible to use fate itself to tell the damage caused by history to individuals, but it had to design many unexpected events and coincidences (coal mine accident and rescue, explosion in Vietnam, rescued during retreat, etc.), which dilutes the tragic color of history itself, which is a pity . In addition, the light-hearted and humorous parts are also relatively conventional, and it is really difficult for me to agree that this is a superior work.
As far as the work itself, it is still possible to have three and a half stars or more, but the praise given by the Dazhong Award is too much, which makes me have high expectations. Compared with my expectations, the gap between two stars is too large, so, sorry.
