Of course, if it is just for fun, as a pastime, and happens to be an audience accustomed to Korean dramas and Hong Kong films, "Women Are Not Bad" can still pass, with excellent production, beautiful pictures, complete plots and many small details. However, this is the joint work of Guo Zairong, a Korean youth romantic comedy master, and Tsui Hark, a Hong Kong martial arts romantic film-only such a standard is really outrageous! I think: I will think this film is good-looking, either with a Buddha-like tolerant mind or a psychological age of less than 20 years old.
Let's talk about exaggeration first. It seems that Guo Zairong's influence is not only in the scriptwriting, but also in the production of Tieling's authentic "Savage Series", all kinds of surreal expressions and camera switching, and even the comic narration outside the painting, imaginary war scenes, etc., all of which have inherited the usual routines of Korean comedies: exquisiteness, exaggeration and affectation, coupled with Hong Kong-style nonsense performances, a romantic comedy for Beijing men and women, which frankly was stewed by Korean Hong Kong flavor and turned into a comedy. Perhaps because I watched the Cantonese version, I couldn't convince myself that this was a group of Beijingers interpreting the story of Beijing. Telling those realistic love stories with this surreal exaggeration is not realistic. How can the audience get into the play? If it weren't for the cinema, it would be hard for me to finish it.
Introspection: The reason why my evaluation is so low has a lot to do with my personal comedy aesthetic habit: I never thought that nonsense exaggeration and funny language have anything to do with the word "humor", at best, it is funny. For example, being funny is like seeing a "fat woman fall into a ditch" and you will laugh. This is an intuitive physiological reaction. Humor, on the other hand, quietly shows the absurdity of things and makes you think for 0. 1 second before you laugh out loud. The latter will naturally be much more enjoyable and unforgettable. For example, in Crazy Stone, Guo Tao looked at Nikon's lens cover for a long time and said, "Nike, do you have a camera?" . For another example, Forrest Gump said, I invested in a small company, but I don't like its trademark: it's a bitten apple. ...
Unfortunately, in this "Women Are Not Bad", there is not only no sense of humor, but also a lack of funny scenes. Sporadic laughter that occasionally echoes in the cinema is particularly harsh. I can hear the laughter of the host is a group of little girls-this is for.
The film distributor clearly pointed out a way: seize the time to organize national college screenings! With your existing wisdom and postmodern fashion elements, it is still promising to fool the flowers, plants and bones of the motherland! However, the title of the film may be changed to "Girls Find Love".
Seeing the report, Tsui Hark admitted: As long as the audience is happy, it doesn't matter how "not Tsui Hark" the film is! Finally, I understand that this is the embarrassment of this commercial New Year film: Why do Korean screenwriters, Hong Kong directors and cast members mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan perform strange and intimate love stories in Beijing? Quite simply, the mainland audience has the largest market share! If you don't try to cater to the tastes of the richest people, don't you want to make a new year's film with the Palme d 'Or award? However, success caters to success, failure caters to fame and fortune, and bad catering inevitably makes the audience feel flattered, just like itching for a long time, the audience still feels uncomfortable. I wonder if the audience in Guangdong will give a good evaluation. I think audiences in most areas will find it too fake. It's just that the goods are wrong. There is remy martin in the bottle of Wuliangye, which is quite expensive, but it doesn't taste like that!
Why is Cape Seven so good? Why is Farewell My Concubine so awesome because it is a local drama in Taiwan Province Province that only local people can shoot? That's because Chen Kaige's understanding of drama, the Cultural Revolution and human nature was integrated in the first half of his life! Just like Beijing opera, a movie wants the original flavor! Therefore, Guo Zairong can shoot a pure Korean love classic, Wild Girlfriend and Love is God's Will, but the works of multinational forces, such as Daisy, My Robot Girlfriend and Women Not Bad, have been criticized to varying degrees. The integration and reflection of different cultures cannot interact with each other in a benign way. In most cases, the practice of one-pot stew will only destroy your own taste and stew the original good ingredients into a hodgepodge that can't be served.
According to the principle of kindness, no matter how bad the film is, it can't be killed with a stick! As long as we work hard, we can still find some advantages: for example, Women Are Not Bad tells at least a fairly complete story, unlike Peach Blossom and Love Left and Right, the story can't be justified, so it's simply not round: I'm just a bittern platter of essays, so go where you like!
At the beginning of the story, the three heroines are montaged in parallel, each with its own splendor. Until the film's core prop "pheromone" patch was successfully developed by Zhou Xun, only in a restaurant can the three lines be summed up by pheromone writing. Explanation: The so-called pheromone is a chemical reagent extracted from human urine and other substances: congenial people will instantly fall in love with each other as long as they smell the matched pheromone (but in the film, Zhang smells like taking an aphrodisiac! This is a theme of human nature and emotion that is worth discussing, but the exaggerated performances and plots in the film can't be discussed in depth at all, and can only be used as the driving force to promote the development of farce, and finally inexplicably ended in a brain-dead rock concert. The director told us that lovers can get married without pheromones! Children, go home. There are no pheromones left. Brother Xu is teasing you with Teacher Guo. ...
By the end of this year, four new year's greeting films for urban men and women with similar themes, in my opinion, have been killed twice, and Love Zuo Ai Right barely passed. Judging from the film, If You Are the One is worth looking forward to. After all, and Chen are the two most reliable people who are humorous rather than funny in China's comedies. There is also "Crazy Racing", which has been skipping tickets, and it is expected to be released at the end of the year. I want to see if Ning Hao is the best or farther place in Jiang Lang.
Finally, to borrow the explanation from teacher Luo Yonghao's blog: warn the audience who want to laugh in the two hours of watching Women Are Not Bad: "No quotations, no jokes, no hilarious jokes, you are just funny!"
