"The Hangover" has a perfect comedy frame: four men playing wild in Las Vegas, after a night of hangover, found that they were going to catch up The groom who was going to get married was gone, and there was another tiger in the room. The plot introduction came to an abrupt end, leaving a very absurd and nonsensical suspense. It was this suspense that attracted people to line up to see the film, which earned $200 million at the North American box office at a cost of more than 30 million.
Americans are proving that the power of their movies is not just about stunts. Judd Apatow, who was born last year, has ushered in a new era of cheap dramas after "American Pie", and this year, there is a masterpiece "The Hangover". , borrowing the fragmented advantages of road movies to ridicule the classic routines of all types of films.
In fact, seeing the name of Todd Phillips should be familiar with the film. His 2000 film "Hala Hit the Road" was a similar road movie about a premarital crisis, only this time it was more over-the-top and more enjoyable.
"The Hangover" is really a perfect comedy shell. In this story, the director recklessly added independent plots such as gang trade, police-community harmony, Tyson raising tigers, dad and baby, etc., making the film laughable Detonate one by one in a proper rhythm, so that the audience's viewing pleasure is maintained at a coherent high level. Just like other people sell hamburgers, I sell Big Macs. The ingredients and ingredients are much richer. Even if the audience eats a bite and sprinkles some on the ground, it can last half to death.
In addition, I have to mention that the director did not reveal too many traces of axe in the process of arranging the connection of each paragraph, but let the incident naturally get worse and worse. And there are relatively complete foreshadowing, such as the tiger is Tyson, the child is a stripper, the gangster and the naked man locked in the trunk are a group... This makes the story come in a whole form. , instead of appearing to be a deliberate plot for the sake of making jokes.
There are a few scenes that can be called classics. They are the funniest episodes I have seen this year. For example, the episode where the big fat man and the little fat man get revenge in the police station, the big fat man kicks the little fat man's phone, and the little fat man Blast the big fat man's head with an electric baton, that little actor is a genius. What is more objectionable is that the image of the Chinese people is once again excessively vilified in the film.
At the end, the film uses the mouth of the dentist to express the central idea of the creators: men should let go of what they want to do. As a man, it should be very refreshing to see this. To all the women who are trying to control their wives: "See you motherfucker."
I think in a short period of time, there should be a lot of comedy imitating the "Hangover" type, maybe soon "The Hangover" 2" is about to be scheduled. But the success of this kind of skewered comedy may not be a type that can be replicated.
