The whole film is like the selling point of his promotion. It shows the story of a young man fighting cancer in a lighthearted and witty manner, but I have a faint feeling that this is just a smooth explanation with insufficient depth. In fact, many people mention this film and say yes The kind of movie that makes people cry, I also admit that I did have tears in my eyes when I saw certain places, but I felt that such a method of earning tears is really not very clever. Parting life and death, young life is about to wither in the flowering season, family affection, friendship, never abandoning in the face of death, all these elements are enough to make people cry, and the whole film is like taking out these "tear-jerking weapons" to "reward" one by one To the audience, the audience can be said to be "moved" step by step, but I think, such a theme, and then using such a method, is it a bit too lacking in originality?
If it is the same style of "Little Fresh" and the same theme, I remember watching a similar movie called "The Be All and End All" before, the story is about a 12-year-old boy With cancer, what annoyed him most was not that he was about to die, but that he was still a virgin, so he asked his friends to find a woman for him. The story makes people laugh out loud, and the only sensational ending is handled in a witty way. And why did that movie impress me? It's because the director hides a lot of jokes that make the audience think about things: how does a 12-year-old boy face death? (How a person who has just come to life looks at death) Life and death, people come to this life, the meaning of sex to human beings (the most basic mating instinct of human beings), the film can be said to just talk about the friendship between two little Zhengtai, and The parental relationship has all been taken away. Although the film also has many technical deficiencies, you can feel the wisdom of the director and the unique perspective that he wants to convey to the audience from these simple shooting links. Compared with such a film, I think it lacks the unique perspective of the director. There are too many opportunities for this topic to be different or impressive, but the director seems to be comprehensive, taking friendship, love, and family affection. , betrayal, hope, and determination to put all the elements in it. After telling a story smoothly, it gave a very sunny ending. You can't see the director's unique perspective on life, love, friendship, and family affection.
The lack of imagination in the film is my first impression, and then I go back to the topic of anti-cancer. In the film, the scenes of the male protagonist and a few patients can actually be very interesting. The scene of two old men and a young man undergoing chemotherapy reminds me of A scene in "Desperate Housewives": Susan needs a kidney replacement, and is also undergoing chemotherapy-like treatment. She belongs to a very happy woman, but she meets an eccentric and unfriendly old man in the chemotherapy room. The old man complains that he is about to He died and failed in life. It can be seen that in the face of death, he thought about it, and he didn't need to wear a "mask" to disguise himself as an old cancer-fighting "fighter". They are all waiting for a kidney donation that is suitable for their body. Susan's optimism gradually moved the elderly. Susan finally found a matching kidney (she is the heroine, she must not be allowed to die), but when Susan is about to extend them Friendship, the old man dies, (at this time, what is Susan's feelings?) A person dies, a space disappears, Susan with mixed feelings goes to the casino to gamble (she and the old man had a conversation about gambling before, etc. The right kidney is like gambling), she felt that she was lucky to find the right kidney, and then she really kept winning money, but she cried (always winning but kept crying? Isn’t it a very interesting emotion? ?) She wonders, why is she lucky? (Why are some people always lucky) and others unfortunate? (Old man), the emotional release point is placed in a casino that has nothing to do with cancer, but at the same time you can skillfully connect things like "life and death", "fate" and "bet" together. Although this scene belongs to a typical "water-injection scene" in the TV series "Desperate Housewives", the director still used enough "imagination" to enrich the characters.
The lack of creativity in the film is that the character Adam did what you and I can imagine he did after cancer, his girlfriend left, friendship appeared, relying on girls to hope to "go away" in the end, lonely to "only" The dog accompanies me". And these things are the reasons why the film feels "floating" from beginning to end.
The film lacks imagination. In fact, there are many "holes" in the film that can be pulled down. For example, I think the role of father is a very good entry point. Alzheimer's disease, how is his spiritual world? of? In a brain where all memories are confused, what is the meaning of such a person's state compared with death (the hero)? The relationship between son and father, their story? Can fathers give their children something beyond our expectations? And the film gave us what we all expected: the son said to his father that I love you, and then the father seemed to understand, and his eyes flickered such a cliché. In fact, imagination is not about aliens and flying saucers, but whether you can find the most profound and reasonable extension in a relatively realistic environment. In fact, we can make the protagonist "make mistakes". He is so "right" in this script that we can hardly see what he hides under the surface. I remember Almodóvar once said a sentence about screenwriting creation. What impressed me deeply, he said: The director is like a detective, you must study your character like a spy, discover the deepest secret in his heart, and then present it to the audience. And this film obviously lacks skill in revealing human nature.
Speaking of a film that I think is good, I prefer the scene in which the male lead takes a female psychotherapist's car. Because he couldn't bear the bad garbage in the car, he called to stop the car to help her clean up, and the music was good.
Speaking of a failure, a friend took a photo of Adam's girlfriend cheating, and exposed it in front of them. In fact, this scene should completely give the role of the girlfriend a chance to show, and the girlfriend's explanation at that time (the pressure was great, there was Emotional issues) really lacks depth, and the girlfriend will have a comeback scene after that. I thought the director could make some wonderful articles here, but he "thinned" the role of his girlfriend even more.
These are my feelings about the film, I hope you can discuss it together.
