Will there be pure friendship between men and women? This topic is often used by film and television creators to make a big fuss. Whether the old stalks can play new ideas is the key to the success of the work. In this regard, "Friendship and Above" handed over a fairly satisfactory answer.
This is first due to the seductive male and female protagonists, especially the heroine "Xiaoshui" Ping Caina. From "The Little Thing of First Love", which brought many beautiful memories of youth to audiences, to the recent "Blowing Leaves" that became popular on social media, Ping Caina used a series of works to effectively prove that she not only has beauty, but also Acting. Based on this alone, the audience popularity of "Friendship and Above" will not be too bad. The film
tells the "ambiguity" between a pair of old friends for many years, and the most anticipated is the scene of heart abuse and tearing. In addition, "Friendship and Above" also unexpectedly played some new tricks.
's ten-year "ambiguous" journey sounds very bloody, but the film’s narrative tone is very relaxed and casual, coupled with the comedic performance of the hero and the heroine and various funny plots, alleviated the boringness and no A sense of tightness and heaviness.
This Thai film has also taken an international route. The "ambiguous" long-distance running trips of the hero and the heroine are all over the scenic spots in Southeast Asia. Even the theme song throughout the film is sung by singers from Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and other countries. It can be said that the intention of the film to target the Southeast Asian market is very obvious. Of course, there is no lack of a Chinese version. A large number of scenes in the
film are set in Hong Kong, China: the scene where the heroine hangs on a light sign after breaking up in love is also ridiculed by the Hong Kong police as "learning to be a dragon"; the hero also speaks Chinese when praying. The intimacy that brings to Chinese audiences is real.
The first 25 minutes of some procrastination, tells about the heroine's father's derailment in high school. The lengthy opening explained the similar family backgrounds of the male and female protagonists-parental emotional discord, the appearance of a third party, lack of care and security, which are the most critical factors that have prompted the protagonist to maintain a ten-year friendship. After all, friends will not easily say break up.
It is worth mentioning that the film scale is very large. If you just copy the "I might not love you" story of heart abuse, then even if the production is exquisite and the actors are seductive, the audience will inevitably suffer from aesthetic fatigue. Compared with other Chinese movies of the same type, the breakthrough point of "Friendship and Above" lies in being bolder and braver.
The protagonist and heroine do not shy away from sexual elements in their relationships, and their love concepts are not constrained by the stereotyped view of chastity. For example, if the hostess shares a bath (yes, that's right, it's really a shared bath), but because the hostess has not broken up with her boyfriend (note that he has cheated) at this time, there is no further relationship between the two. The male protagonist slept under the bed very gentlely, which also let the audience breathe a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, in Thailand, this seemingly traditional country, young people are so easy to talk about love.
After watching the movie, we may be puzzled. Since the hero and heroine have such deep feelings, why do they have to get together after a lapse of ten years and after the twists and turns? The two protagonists are "entangled" in the name of friends. Is it very unfair to their lovers? However, looking at reality, in contemporary society where love is becoming more and more free and less secure, is it not just the heroes and heroines on the screen who are worried that the relationship will eventually expire? Going forward and retreating temporarily, staying within a safe range may seem "scumbag", but isn't this a portrayal of fragile modern love? If
is an audience with true views and love, you need to be psychologically prepared to watch this movie. And if you just want to watch a relaxing love comedy and kill time, then "Friendship and Above" is still a good choice.
However, compared with the long aftertaste of "The Little Thing of First Love", "Friendship and Above" is at best a sketch level. has seen it, and it has passed.
