A long time ago, he saw an interview with an insider talking about the current situation of Chinese cinema. He sighed: Movies are originally a carrier of ideas, and reflect the current social status quo, but Chinese films no longer reflect the social status quo. From the continuous emergence of exquisite garbage such as Wuji and Golden Armor, it can be seen that Chinese movies have entered a vicious circle. Who created this vicious circle? Is it the censorship system? Or too commercialized? Or is it a market determined by consumers? I think there may be several reasons. After all, they have been filming, so there must be someone who has been paying for them.

Back to the topic, I have read a lot of European classical novels, most of which are about love. After reading some, I can't help but summarize some of the laws of plot development in these novels. The first law is that the heroine is as beautiful as a flower. The second rule is that the male protagonist has a prominent net worth (of course, most of them are handsome and handsome). The above two laws are not a small reward that the author attaches to the reader's eye when they appreciate a beautiful story, but the cornerstone of the logic of the whole story, as long as the heroine is not satisfied with the beauty or the hero is also beautiful and One of the wealthy families, the whole story does not exist! (I don't mean to belittle these classic romance novels, because at present, people rely on digging up the metaphors behind the plots to interpret them.)

Finally, let's talk about today's protagonist If You Are the One. First of all, it does not reflect the current situation of Chinese society. Under the exploitation of the same censorship system, Apple (Lost in Beijing) has done a lot better. Apple talked about some things, made some comparisons, and imagined some results. Here we see some of the director's own thoughts and some wishes. But these things are sadly invisible in If You Are the One. Insert ads? I have seen a lot of this.

Secondly, when the plot is blank and weak, I am afraid that only beautiful scenery can make up for it. There are many marionette-like characters in the film, a brain composed of a single cell, extravagant cutscenes, extravagant travel, extravagant lines that don’t seem to come from normal people, and finally, we still need to go to the cinema for these extravagances Pay the bill.

Again, imagine that if the heroine is ugly and fat, and the hero has a poor mouth but an empty pocket, none of this can happen. In my opinion, scripts that build logic on these superficial things are the worst.

In the end, Xiaoxiao jumped off the cliff and fell into the sea of ​​Hokkaido in early spring. The colorful silk brocade clothing tossed in the clear water, intertwined with the sunlight, and many bubbles kept rising and rising.

Whitewashing death (of course, Xiaoxiao was saved in the end, and it didn't die) is the director's forte. However, death in reality has no beauty, and people's fear of death is instinctive. Generally speaking, the steps of drowning are as follows: because of the rolling and discomfort after entering the water, a large amount of water is sucked into the lungs, and there is a needle-prick pain in the chest cavity, and people will struggle hard. However, due to the lack of oxygen, the drowning person will lose consciousness after more than 10 seconds, and then calm and death will dominate her. After brain death, the stomach and intestines begin to empty, and fluids in the body will flow out of various pipes in the body, you are right, including feces and urine. With no blood pressure, the eyeballs sink in and the complexion begins to turn a filthy dull yellow. The downward-facing part of the body begins to develop corpse spots, and corpse corpses begin.

I think in the face of death, any sensationalism is pale and childish, which is exactly the tone of this film.

When watching Wuji, I thought of Farewell My Concubine, and when watching If You Are the One, I thought that Kara was a dog. What went wrong?
