This article was first published on the movie public account "Yunhe Movie", no spoilers, can be eaten with confidence, with a comprehensive score of 6 points.
This May 1st file, I believe that everyone can't bypass this film. The milk tea Rene Liu directed the tube, Eason Chan, Mayday, Tian Fuzhen sang with love, Li Pingbin's photography, the producer is Zhang Yibai who often shoots romance films, plus the pre-production It sold over 100 million yuan, and a group of people in the film and television industry called the film. Everything seems to indicate that the quality of this film is extremely guaranteed. However, it is a pity that it is still only passable.
This is a movie that has both advantages and disadvantages. It has beautiful photography and color tone. The most prominent advantage is the acting skills of the three leading actors, while the disadvantage is the extreme lack of dramatic tension and the overfilling of emotional grasp. And the overly literary lines turned the whole movie into a beautiful and super long MV.
Let's talk about the advantages first, all three actors have contributed good acting skills. Jing Boran, when I commented on "The Tomb Raiders", I said that he has potential and is willing to study, but he has no clue, and he is not an actor, but this time he plays Lin Jianqing, who is ten years old in the film. span, and the process of a boy becoming a middle-aged man ten years from graduating from college is actually a period of time when a boy's temperament has changed a lot. Jing Boran's grasp of the psychological activities of Lin Jianqing's role in all age groups and his living conditions are still It's very good. Now it can be said that he is on the road as an actor, and he has more potential to be tapped in the future.
Zhou Dongyu, in fact, since "July and An Sheng", I still have a relatively high evaluation of her. She is also one of the few actors born in the 90s who can be regarded as outstanding in acting skills. I believe that many people are still very unconvinced that she won the Golden Horse Film Queen with "July and An Sheng", but she has proved in this film that she really has this strength. In fact, "July and Ansheng" and last year's "Like You" Zhou Dongyu have already played the quirky type of girl very mature, but the general concern about her at that time was also that she would be limited to the same type of role. In this film, she plays Fang Xiaoxiao, although there are also eccentric elements in it, but Fang Xiaoxiao is more melancholy, and there is a lack of security that is not difficult to detect under the happy appearance, so The reason why I think her acting is a step further is because she is finally starting to show a sense of hierarchy, maybe next time she will start to challenge the character with the completely opposite temperament to her previous role, and in June there is a movie she starred in "The Balcony" "Up", maybe you can look forward to it, breaking your own inherent role type and jumping out of your comfort zone, this is the only way for an actor to move towards a higher level of performance.
Tian Zhuangzhuang has undoubtedly contributed the most unforgettable acting skills in this film. Now I feel more and more that Tian Zhuangzhuang, who has no filming, should become an actor sooner. You can see in him the basic qualities of a movie star actor, that is, there is no trace of acting. , so that the audience has no sense of alienation and estrangement. His performance in this film is naturally reminiscent of the old man Lang Xiong in the trilogy of Ang Lee. It has also become a classic scene where everyone burst into tears. The moment he saw him lower his head to write a letter, the tears could not help rushing out of his eyes. Unfortunately, it was limited by the script, otherwise Tian Zhuangzhuang's father Lin Jianqing would definitely become a classic character.
After talking about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. The first is the extreme lack of dramatic tension. This film is not a prose-style film such as "Roadside Picnic" and "Yangtze River". If it is to be classified, it should be regarded as a realistic love film. Since it is a feature film, it naturally needs a strong Dramatic conflict to advance the story step by step until the climactic ending. What this film lacks is such a conflict that runs through the whole film. There is no conflict. What we see is the running account of a couple of couples dividing and closing in ten years from 2007 to 2017. After watching this movie, you will come out of the extremely exaggerated emotional atmosphere, and then look back on the storyline, you will find that it is bland and lackluster. It is a standard youth love story, which combines a little bit of Beidrift elements and has no plot. Conflict, it is actually very difficult for the audience to feel a sense of substitution. Because of the lack of plot tension, the audience cannot be nervous and anxious with the ups and downs of the protagonist's fate, which will lead to a series of emotions such as sympathy, pity, sadness and happiness. The film makes up for this defect by using Large, full, and all-round sensationalism, which also leads to the second huge problem of the film, the serious lack of emotional control.
In fact, the problem of this film can be summed up as insufficient plot, sensationalism. Let the male and female protagonists experience all kinds of misfortunes and misery, misunderstandings and misunderstandings in the process of drifting in the north. By exaggerating and exaggerating the depressing atmosphere of their regrets and misses, they can achieve the purpose of promoting the audience's emotional resonance. , but the deliberate sensationalism is unnatural after all, and will always cause discomfort to the audience. For example, the dialogue between Wen and Crepe after not seeing each other for many years, if I remember correctly, the male and female protagonists are not Chinese graduates or young artists, so this kind of dialogue will be very embarrassing, like in "The King of Comedy" "I'll take care of you" in "Sweet Honey", "Silly girl, listen to me, go home now, take a hot bath, get up in the morning, the streets are full of men, all of them are better than Brother Leopard", These classic lines are actually very life-like language, but life-like language can also reveal different complex emotions, so the lines without traces are advanced lines.
In addition, what makes people feel that they are deliberately provocative is that there is a problem with the character's behavioral logic. For example, Fang Xiaoxiao started looking for a boyfriend in order to get a household registration in Beijing and get a stable life, and it can be seen from her performance after her lovelorn Out of her yearning for a stable life, of course, this is also related to the breakdown of her family relationship. But then why did she choose to accept the poor boy male protagonist, the change in it is very vague, so Fang Xiaoxiao cares about material or emotional, and her swing or struggle between the two is not obvious. , In fact, it's nothing more than Lin Jianqing saying that he doesn't understand her, and as an audience, I don't understand what Fang Xiaoxiao likes. Lin Jianqing's experience is actually very strange. As a young man from outside the capital who is chasing his dream of making games, you can hardly see him doing anything for his dream a few years after graduation. Chasing his game dream is to play war3 every day and survive? In fact, Lin Jianqing has been living his life in the dark under the guise of dreams. You can't see any of his efforts at all, you can only see his misery. In Beijing, as a poor boy from other places, of course it will be miserable if you don't work hard. Therefore, it is necessary to have material but not material, and to be motivated and not motivated, Lin Jianqing, what did Fang Xiaoxiao like about him? In the end, one has no education, the other does not work hard, and it sounds like a good-looking young man who works hard for his dreams. It is the bottom of society hugging each other for warmth. And Lin's father played by Tian Zhuangzhuang forcibly mentioned the opinion of fate in the last letter, which seems very abrupt in my opinion, at least there is almost no foreshadowing in the front, lacking the necessary plot foreshadowing, it is inevitable to fall into the rut of deliberate sensationalism.
Later, if we are still so hypocritical, then we probably haven't figured out what we are after, and we probably still have to live our lives in a confused way.
