this year's domestic blockbuster ghost movie, with a Douban score of 8.3, let us tear off the label of stereotypes?
believes that for friends who like horror, fantasy, and ghost movies, mainland movies are not rich in this aspect, but fortunately, Hong Kong and Taiwan make up for this lack, especially horror and ghost movies in Taiwan. It can be said that there have been many excellent works in the past few years. The "Curse" a few years ago caused quite a stir. On February 10 this year, another very exciting blockbuster ghost movie was released. Its name is similar to that of Japanese light As long as the novel is, this is "About Me and the Ghost Who Became Family".
starring Xu Guanghan and Lin Bohong, mainly tells the story of a straight male policeman Wu Minghan (played by Xu Guanghan) who accidentally picks up a red envelope on the ground, but unexpectedly the object in the red envelope is a man (played by Lin Bohong)! Minghan, who was forced into a ghost marriage between a man and a man, declined all the way to the end. Not only could he not get rid of his ghost marriage partner, he even messed up the anti-drug case that the policeman Lin Ziqing (played by Wang Jing) had been working on for a long time. In order to save the crisis, Minghan, who is homophobic and afraid of ghosts, has no choice but to join hands with the ghost husband Mao Mao to chase the murderer across borders even if the ghosts have different paths! A journey of absurdity, laughter and tears begins here! Just by listening to the plot introduction, you can tell that it is a story full of jokes and warmth.
As the closing film of the Golden Horse Film Festival last year, the film also received a good response. I have to say that it is indeed an interesting film that is not vulgar, tear-jerking without becoming sensational. And we can also see a mixture of various types of films. Although there are ghosts and ghosts in the movie, it greatly reduces the horror routines that often appear in fantasy movies. In fact, this is why Hong Kong and Taiwan regard such stories as The fine tradition of control. Compared with horror films from Japan and South Korea, many films from Hong Kong and Taiwan have a lot of jokes even if they have horror elements. Such pure comedy.
So, this time "About Me and the Ghost Becoming a Family Member" has also carried out bold innovations on the basis of retaining the tradition. In addition to seeing supernatural elements in the movie, audiences can also There is also a typical gangster film style, which runs through the whole process, including love, family affection, including reflecting some social issues, etc. You can even see the shadow of literary films in it, and don’t look at the many elements. The whole process of the film and The tone is not chaotic at all, the fusion is well-organized, the rhythm of the film is completely leading the audience, laugh where they should laugh, and move people where they should be touched, and the intensity is just right, not excessively sensational, giving people A hypocritical feeling, as if forcing the audience to cry.
And, the most exciting part of the movie is that the director uses these different characters to emphasize the stereotypes that the public has for certain people. For example, the policewoman in the play is very good, but her colleagues still treat her behind her back Pointing and pointing, thinking that her superior position is all due to the favor of her superiors. Another example is the fat man in the police station. Many people always have a negative impression of being lazy, timid and afraid of death. Often it has almost become synonymous with this type of role, but in this film, the fat man who does not look amazing has made great contributions silently. It can be seen that people are really not good by their appearance.
These seemingly inconspicuous contradictions are actually reflected by the director with the help of these characters. A very real social problem. We in life may be unintentional or intentional, but for someone or someone It is not uncommon for some groups to be labeled with fixed stereotypes. To give a simple example, a boy who likes to maintain himself or has a gentle appearance is often called "sissy", but in fact, the responsibility and sense of responsibility that he should have in his bones may be better than many muscles macho. The same example is also applicable to girls, just like girls should play with dolls, this stereotype often accompanies our lives.
As a person, everyone is a unique individual, so when we try to tear off the labels on others, it is the greatest respect for others. Of course, after every different individual gathers together, a so-called circle, or a certain group, will be formed. At this time, every word and deed of an individual will often affect the reputation of others on your entire group or circle. As the saying goes, "One mouse droppings ruined a pot of porridge", it is exactlyThis reflects this, so when we don't want our belonging to be too negatively evaluated, it is also very important to respect others and have a sense of responsibility while maintaining our individuality and being ourselves, and the two are complementary.
said so much, the reason why the film received rave reviews is that as a fantasy comedy, it has a high score of 8.3 on Douban. The director is naturally the soul of a film. The film's director "Cheng Weihao" is also a rising star in our country. As early as 2008, he directed his first short film "What the hell" and won the Best New Director Award at the Southern Taiwan Film Festival. In the past two years, he was shortlisted for the Best New Director Award at the 53rd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for the thriller and suspense film "The Little Girl in Red", and won the Asian Film Awards for the 20th Shanghai International Film Festival for the suspenseful crime film "The Witness's Pursuit". Newcomer Award - Nomination for Best Director.
is a young director born in the 1980s, but he is unambiguous in his creation. He has his own uniqueness and a keen grasp of the language of the camera. There is no messy feeling, so this time "About Me and the Ghost Became a Family Member" can also be said to be Cheng Weihao's masterpiece so far.
