I have to say responsibly, "Dance! "Elephant" changed all the good impressions I had of Allen. Even if I still have such a good impression of him, I really can't make any good impression of this movie.
"Dance! If "Elephant" is changed to a name that has nothing to do with elephants, it seems that it can be used as usual. The word elephant has no effect on the plot at all.
The quality of domestic comedy movies in recent years can be said to have plummeted, probably because as long as the label of "comedy movies" is installed, it is suitable for the best-selling family-friendly movies that can be watched by all ages. The
film always uses the performance of stage play for shooting and interpretation. Whether it is a child throwing yogurt in the spring and summer or a leaflet slipping in a door crack, in reality, the probability of this happening is not very high. Only after an exaggerated dramatic performance, there is such a stage effect that seems to be comedy but mixed with tragedy.
In fact, I always feel that, as long as the movies that have the label of "comedy" have not abandoned the characteristics of stage plays, it is true that many movies themselves are adapted from stage plays. The elements of exaggeration and drama are indispensable, and they have become this The unique expressive power of a type of film, but no matter how you watch it, how many times you watch it, there are some obvious "zhang Chi Li" that should have been shown in the stage play. In the film, there is only tension and no tension.
Even the film’s photography techniques are consistent memory montages or delayed photography, and in the plot, I don’t know whether it’s a patchwork or a blog title. In short, there will always be a lot of miscellaneous so-called "tribute" classic imitations, but they are imitated. It is ridicule or slander, in short, it is not a "tribute" or a "memory". At best, it's a mess. For example, Alan plays the role of a dancer in the plot, about Michael Jackson's sliding steps, the love of the best wishes, or the "Cleopatra" in the night dance.
Allen's dancer's personality is undoubtedly a real talent, but this kind of real talent is placed in the film to deduct the personality and personality, except for irony, it seems that there is nothing.
When facing Qianqian's anger in spring and summer, he said, "I don't understand and don't want to understand". I didn't detect courage or filial piety. I only saw the strong local flavor and foolish behavior. The
movie should teach people to face life, face themselves, and be responsible for their behavior. Furthermore, it should also bring people joy or the stimulation of adrenal hormones soaring, but this movie, I really did not see any good points And wise thinking. Even if
seems to win with the courage bonus in the end, I don't think this victory is deserved. Even if it is praising courage and persistence, this kind of plot and shooting will only make people feel that they are funny for the sake of funny, rather than making people feel happy from the inside out. Happiness should be joy from the heart, not such scripts and videos for laughter.
