never expected that " Thelma and Louise " would perform so well in the market. As of press time, the film's cumulative box office has exceeded 281 million, and the single-day box office has surpassed " and Riot Squad " to rank first. The box office forecast given by professional platforms has increased from 666 to 807 million. Such results do not match the quality of the movie at all. Jia Bing and Happy Twist contributed another ugly comedy movie.
This movie is really ugly! Not to mention the homonymous title of the film, the actual title spoils the entire story. Jia Youwei, played by Jia Bing, is diagnosed with brain cancer and has only 10 days left to live. He will use the 800,000 savings and 200,000 he has saved throughout his life. I took out the money from the sale of the house and spent it like crazy with my three good brothers who grew up together. Later, the misdiagnosis setting is used to reverse it, and finally returns to life, using brotherhood to stir up emotions, and the movie ends.
The plot, lines, and performances were not funny. In the movie that lasted more than 100 minutes, there was not a single laugh in the movie I watched. Moreover, the script was not serious and had too many loopholes and bugs. For example, does the screenwriter think that all viewers have never bought or sold a house? Even if you sign a sales and purchase agreement with an intermediary, you won't be able to receive the 200,000 house payment immediately. And if the house has been sold, how can you still go back to that house to wait for death?
Furthermore, Thelma and Louise is a soulless shell. The meaning of a movie should not just make the audience laugh (and the movie cannot do this), but it should have a deep meaning, convey universal values, and trigger the audience to think and resonate.
But Thelma and Louise has none of that. The movie borrows the sentence "The most painful thing in life is when someone dies without spending all the money" from Xiaoshenyang "Not Short of Money", and uses this sentence as the driving force for the development of the story, which is almost the core of the movie. Youwei spent all his money and squandered as much as he wanted, staying in five-star hotels, renting luxury cars, eating big meals, buying a cemetery... Even when he learned about the misdiagnosis, the movie failed to provide any nutritious content. Is it just shallow? Brotherhood, or respect and recognition between husband and wife, father and son? It's just too cheap and cliche.
But I have to admire that the leading actor has really strong connections. "Thelma and Louise" and "Peacekeepers" premiered on the same day, and there were obviously many more stars to support them. Now that it's here, I definitely have to praise it. It's just that you can deceive the audience before it's released, but the quality is so bad that it slaps you in the face after it's released.
Let’s see who helped the movie. Lu Han said, "After watching the movie, I felt like I was back in the Northeast. I kept laughing until my face hurt." Wu Lei probably couldn't think of words, so he directly used Lu Han's words, "Laughing until my abdominal muscles hurt." "How low can these two laugh?
and Huang Bo, he said, "Jia Bing's character is very cute. It's great to have a few buddies. I didn't expect that Tan Zhuo who I worked with also performed very well in comedies." Huang Bo praised these words. It's almost the same as Hu Lilie. Everyone who has watched the movie knows that Tan Zhuo is not a comedy actor in "Thelma and Louise". She still performs in the same way as in previous dramas. Did Huang Bo pay attention to it?
In the movie market, especially during major periods such as May Day, National Day, and the Spring Festival, whoever has a strong lineup and aggressive marketing will be able to take the top spot at the box office, rather than which film with better quality will have the advantage. This is wrong. "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" with a rating of 7.5 accounts for less than half of the film schedule of "Peacekeeping Riot Squad". Even if the attendance rate is high, it will not be able to get a film. I hope that such a conscientious film can be more popular and let people watch it. Audiences take note.
