Today's Uncle Xu focuses his attention on the more down-to-earth little people again and again, the middle-aged man who is not willing to be in a plain marriage in the transfer of love calls, the professional lottery player in the nightclub (part-time debt collection), and the derailed boss who encounters the Spring Festival travel on the way. ...and this time, Xu Lang, who was frantically striving for authorization and facing a marriage crisis at the same time. They share the sadness and helplessness that must be experienced in ordinary life. A series of experiences full of coincidences are full of jokes, but all of them make the best interpretation of the word "unlucky". Each character is like the original ghost horse and pig, completing a bizarre or even outrageous adventure, and at the moment when the climax ends, he reaps this or that kind of joy and emotion.
From being unwilling to be ordinary, to embarking on an adventure for a dream, to returning to the original with an epiphany, this seems to be a fixed routine in Xu Zheng's films, but it is also a person who has gone through youth, prime, and old age to complete this epic growth. only way. Maybe knowing that at the last moment it was just a cup of loess, but there are still countless people who have left their homes, brave the wind and waves, and persistently move forward for the meaning of existence.
As the sequel to the previous chapter "People are on the 囧道", "Tai 囧" still continues the obviously unequal combination of a high-spirited successful person and an idiot but pure-hearted wage earner, a smart person and a stupid child. Under countless twists and turns, they cherished each other, completed a spiritual redemption, and each gained a happy harvest. The difference is that the location of the encounter has been moved to Thailand, where the scenery is pleasant. It mixes the essential elements of big-name movies such as gangsters and car chases, plus Huang Bo, who is a gag but looks like a special agent.
Maybe Xu Zheng doesn't care about the so-called big names either. The audience with more and more appetites has long been indifferent to the exquisite and beautiful pictures full of various special effects. The director of the film can only find another way, and the sword is slanted. However, Zhao's humor, who was also from the grassroots, has gone further and further on the road of vulgarity. It can be seen from the works of the Spring Festival Gala, not to mention the two people who are always "green" and can't get up. In contrast, Xu Zheng's path is much smarter. He understands that life is the best source of movie themes, as long as you dig and experience with your heart. Although "Thai Embarrassment" is notorious as a copycat because of its flaws in one way or another, the director's intentions can still be seen from the details of the film, and it is still a sincere work.
I just want to say that the audience is not as difficult to serve as imagined. I just hope to see a comedy style that is close to life but not divorced from reality with real acting skills, and is civilian enough but not deliberately imitated. In short, I have no intention of flattering, but I am only giving Uncle Xu's current work, a temporary list of affirmations and awards!
