One-of-a-kind beauty

Before watching it, if you told me that Yimei was going to play this kind of role, I would definitely doubt it. But in the end, there is still no escape from the "Law of True Fragrance", and Yimei once again proved herself with her strength.

The subject of fine-pointing is considered to be rotten in movies on a global scale, and good movies are emerging one after another. In contrast, this film is not particularly outstanding in terms of subject matter and plot, but the idea of ​​"would fine points be a new way to guide human evolution" impressed me deeply. And the director at the end of the movie also allows us to see what the human brain looks like to a higher stage of development.

The actresses mainly play the role of foiling Yimei. Even Anya, who is the female number one, doesn't have many bright spots (of course, her figure is really bright). The director is very good at intriguing the audience's appetite. The female characters are all childlike, and have a good figure in line with European and American aesthetics, and the scale of nudity is just right.

The biggest highlight of the whole film is Yimei's acting skills. He can fully express the changes of different personalities. In the later stage of the movie, I can already tell which character he is playing through a change in his expression, which shows the depth of his skill. In addition, the tone, expression, and temperament of different personalities (including women and children) can be fully matched. This is no longer a simple matter of one person playing two roles. What's even more terrifying is that this is only a short film of less than two hours, and the characters can stand up in such a short time, which can really be said to be an amazing performance.

It may also be limited by the time of the movie. The so-called "24 kinds of personalities" actually show only four or five kinds. The female characters are basically vases except for their fear and panic. Anya's eyes at the last moment showed a little bit of acting skills, but unfortunately it's over, I hope the sequel can take it to a higher level.

    Yimei’s acting skills prop up the whole play, and each personality shaping has its own characteristics. One ticket to see eight and one beauty, gay guys have everything with OCD and mentally retarded.
