On the third day of the National Day, I went to see this comedy movie "Hello, Brother" with my friends. First of all, I think this movie is not a bad movie. The score of 5.3 is a bit low. The movie theater still laughs. The sound is constant.
Of course, my evaluation is purely based on the overall laughing point. Perhaps at the beginning of the year, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" greatly lowered my psychological expectations for 's happy twist . Now I feel that as long as the audience does not laugh The comedy is barely qualified.
But judging from the plot of the movie, this movie can only be summed up in four words:
is a mess!
I really can't think of it, it's already 2022, and there are still big screen movies that use the rotten stalk of "mother's dystocia, protect the big and the small" to complete the emotional sublimation of the entire film.
A simple common sense of law, before the fetus is born, it is not considered a "person" in the legal sense. If the doctor lets the mother die in order to protect the child, then he will constitute the crime of intentional homicide by inaction and undergo surgery. Taiwan will be held accountable and imprisoned.
So don't worry about keeping the big and the small, this problem will never appear in reality.
So when I saw the protagonist's mother in the movie "Hello, Brother" lying weakly on the bed, seriously discussing with the protagonist's father about keeping her big and small, I really couldn't help but roll my eyes.
's sensationalism is beyond the point, and the audience doesn't scold you for scolding anyone.
The plot is scattered, the focus is unclear
The scattered plot is the biggest problem of this movie, I seem to be watching a hodgepodge of "Back to the Future" + "Hello, Li Huanying " + " Riding the Wind and Waves ".
At the beginning of the film, through the narration, we learned about the conflict between the 30-year-old protagonist Xiao Wu and his father Wu Hongqi. Then his father Wu Hongqi suddenly suffered from Alzheimer's disease , and Xiao Wu took on the burden of taking care of his father.
So at first I thought it was a movie similar to "Riding the Wind and Waves". The protagonist went back to the past and reached a settlement with his father after a lot of tossing. This is a movie about the protagonist and his father.
is actually the title of the movie, so I thought it was a movie about fatherhood.
Unexpectedly, after wearing the ring and traveling back to 1986, the protagonist Xiao Wu confusedly messed up the first meeting of his parents, thereby jeopardizing his own birth.
So Xiao Wu is like Marty McFly in "Back to the Future" again, the main plot becomes a trip back in time, clearing the way for parents to ensure that parents can fall in love normally. The
movie really talks about the love between parents in a big way. For this reason, the movie specially arranges a lot of plots. For example, the mother won a high-intensity welding competition with an 8-month pregnancy, just to create a pair of wedding rings.
Father Lao Wu risked crushing his fingers, believing that Big Six could operate the machine tool to smash the ring on his hand in 0.2 seconds, showing the trust between the parents.
But the plot suddenly took a sharp turn in another direction here, becoming the emotional line between mother and child in "Hello, Li Huanying".
In about twenty or thirty minutes in the second half of the film, it's all about the protagonist's journey to save the mother, the mother and child's emotional entanglement. At the end of
, there is even a protagonist who travels back to the fetus and wants to strangle himself with the umbilical cord. The mother injects an unknown force into him to ensure the safe birth of the fetus.
The greatness of motherhood! ! !
, it's quite sci-fi and outrageous.
So overall, this movie packageIt contains three major directions: the emotional line between the protagonist and the father, the emotional line between the father and the mother, and the emotional line between the protagonist and the mother.
In addition, there is a lot of drama between Qin Shiyu and his father, and the small conflict between the protagonist and his girlfriend...
There are too many emotional lines and too complicated, and the length of a movie is limited Yes, if you put too many shots on the father's side, the plot on the mother's side will definitely be weaker. So at the end of the movie, the relationship between mother and son is sublimated, which in my opinion is not in place.
The movie "Hello, Li Huanying" does a good job in this regard. The whole movie shows the father riding a bicycle. Besides, it is the emotional entanglement between the mother and the daughter. The whole movie is paving the way, so The ending is so touching.
If you want to explain everything, then you can't understand anything.
really hope the director can understand this.
There are so many small bugs, it's too difficult to get into the drama
In addition to the scattered main storyline, there are too many small bugs in this movie, which makes it particularly uncomfortable for people like me who prefer to pick up details.
First of all, the setting of crossing is too random.
The element of "traversing" itself is a very contradictory thing, and it is easy for the audience to question the credibility of the story told in the film if it is not handled properly.
So basically 99% of time-travel movies will deliberately downplay the element of "travel", and the protagonist also starts to travel to the past in the movie, and then travels back after the movie ends.
Like "Hello, Brother", where you can wear a ring and wear it at will, I have only read it on online novels. Director
didn't care about the basic rules or settings of these crossings at all, and no matter what the butterfly effect brought about by this crossing would have any impact, anyway, it was a random crossing.
and the setting of the movie itself is also very problematic. When in the dance hall, the protagonist can freely control the timing and location of the crossing, and then teach the villain Jia Bing like Sun Wukong without a trace, and later also use the ability of free crossing to give The villain made a big dinner.
But sometimes he would fall awkwardly on the birthing table when his mother gave birth to him, and the protagonist suddenly couldn't control the landing point freely.
Secondly, everyone in the movie is deliberately ignoring the unreasonable plot.
For example, a state-owned factory in the 1980s wearing modern clothes fell from the sky, but no one questioned who he was from the beginning to the end? There's no such thing as Li Huanying's casual lie.
Then a big living person suddenly landed on the birthing table. The doctors and nurses at the scene were simply frightened and accepted the setting. No one questioned whether this was a supernatural event, but calmly asked him to raise his hand. pregnant woman.
Is this reasonable?
There are still many unreasonable plots in the movie. For example, Da Liu insisted on welding even when the goggles were broken, so that his eyes were burned, and he had to compete. This is too unprofessional, right?
Another example is that the protagonist lived in this home for 30 years, and finally realized that his father's bed was covered with dozens of diaries, and then "just happened" to find a ring hanging from his father's bedside lamp.
Another example is that the protagonist wants to save his mother by strangling himself, so he travels back and secretly gives his mother an abortion pill. But I noticed that the mother was seven or eight months pregnant at this time. Wouldn't the abortion pill really kill the mother unintentionally? Why don't you wear your medicine earlier?
and the character setting of Lao Wu in the movie is that because his wife died in childbirth, he has a great "hate" for his son. In the narration of the protagonist: treats him like an enemy, but he still raised him.
I can't figure out why this role relationshipLao Wu has to keep the protagonist's reason behind his mother's death for 30 years, so the protagonist can only find out the cause of his mother's death through time travel.
According to Lao Wu's "hate" for his son, shouldn't he tell the protagonist early that his wife died because of him? The unreasonable little details of
kept me from getting into the movie well.
Comedy movies should not be sensational
In addition to these objective plot problems, for some subjective reasons, my perception of this movie is not very good.
For example, personally, I really hate a movie that uses something as untechnical as "narration" to move the plot forward.
You can set up a small suspense with the narration at the beginning like " Charlotte Troubles ", this is no problem, because it does not involve plot promotion, it is just a adjustment.
But this movie uses narration to directly tell the audience that my father and I have a grudge. For 30 years, we couldn't get used to each other, and then one day my father got Alzheimer's ...
uses narration to promote the development of the plot and explain it with narration Characters and relationships, I really have to doubt the director's ability to make a movie.
Another thing that makes me feel bad is that the soundtrack in the movie is too much, too full.
has come to a lot of light-hearted clips, while the laughs are still paving the way, the celebratory and funny soundtrack has come out. Is the director deliberately reminding the audience to prepare to laugh?
and they all traveled back to the 1980s, except for Teresa Teng 's " Sweet Honey " and a few old songs, I didn't feel any nostalgic feeling from the soundtrack.
I am more sensitive to the soundtrack this time, or because the last movie I watched was " Into the Dust ", as an emotional art film, what impressed me the most was that the whole film did not have any emotional guidance. 's soundtrack.
Watching the two movies side by side, I would feel that the soundtrack of "Hello, Brother" is too full.
and the one thing I hate the most, a comedy, it has to be sensational.
I also used this to complain about "Hello, Li Huanying" before, but they made the audience laugh for nearly 2 hours, and only came to sensationalize the last 10 minutes.
"Hello, Brother" only made the audience laugh for a few minutes before it became sensational, my father had Alzheimer's disease, and my mother gave up the chance to give birth to save the fetus. How touching, my friends who went with me really cried .
But I want to say: is this even a comedy?
It's not good to say that, for the audience who can watch comedy, don't everyone watch it with a relaxed attitude, just want to laugh and it's over.
Would you like to watch comedies if you want to watch heavy topics? I watch theme films, emotional films, and literary films. No type of film is more touching than comedy.
starts with a comedy and ends with a tragedy, which is a bit disappointing for the audience.
