Whether in China or the West, the father-son relationship is usually one of the most difficult contradictions in the family. Fathers can often spoil their daughters lawlessly, but are accustomed to being "picky" in every way with their sons, even as unceremoniously as a cell boss teaches prisoners. When a son was a child, of course he dared not make trouble. When he grew up or got married, he often wished to sever the relationship with his father and stay away from each other, forming a distinct "cold violence".
But in fact, the son is the father’s true hope. The latter’s expectations and requirements of the former must be far better than the daughter; the father’s strictness to the son often just follows the principle of “strictness is love, and forgiveness is harmful” Traditional thinking, in today's general environment, this kind of consciousness is certainly not suitable, but as a son, can he understand his father more tolerantly? To be released on February 2nd, "Bad Dad" starring Shao Bing, Sun Shaolong, etc., through the contradiction and evolution between a pair of long-term discord between father and son, shows us the deep love of the world, and even more so It has become a family movie that can touch generations of old, middle and young people.
In the imperial capital of Beijing, the tea shop owner Xiao Dahai (played by Shao Bing) is obviously a successful person. The strange thing is that everyone respects him unless his son Xiao Hanyi (played by Sun Shaolong). This child could comfortably be a rich second-generation, but he didn't want to take over. Instead, he had to work on his own as a mechanic in the refitting car shop, and even stay out of touch with his father. What is this for?
When the father discovers that his body has changed, he is particularly eager to reach a settlement with his son. As a result, Xiao Hanyi's girlfriend Yi Yang, apprentice and best friend Kong Mingshun, actually became the target of a chairman. To this end, Old Xiao also did a lot of things that were completely incompatible with his own age and status, creating a lot of laughter. But when the sudden danger came, huge energy burst out from his weak body...
"The scar that was carved when I was a child, I only know how ugly it is when I grow up." This sentence was used on Xiao Hanyi. It was too appropriate, because his father sent himself to the internet addiction school and experienced some unbearable pasts, which led to his inability to become a professional racer. Xiao Hanyi was angry with his father, has been engaged in a "cold war" with him, and tried to create his own Career, to completely get rid of the influence and "control" of the latter. But as everyone knows, how can the world harm the father of his child? Has he ever thought about what his father expects from him?
Xiao Dahai does not want his son to be an alternative. He only hopes that he will study hard like other children's, stay away from the Internet and racing, go to university, and have a decent job. Of course it is also human nature, but ignores the concern and understanding of his son's potential. And development is undoubtedly not worthy of praise. There are thousands of mediocre college students and white-collar workers in the world, but there are very few charismatic racers. The
film does not intend to create a father of Gao Daquan, nor does it intend to strengthen "Pepsi filial piety first". Instead, it confronts the current Chinese reality, implicitly and restraintly tortured the traditional Chinese family education model, and reminds the audience to remember, understand and Reflection. Such a treatment is undoubtedly easier for young people to accept, and it won't make middle-aged people feel offended. Director
even called such fathers "bad fathers", of course, it mainly reflects the son's original position, and reveals a strong humor. However, the film did not deliberately please young people, did not believe that his son's actions must be right, and made silent criticisms of his son's "cold violence".
As the plot advances, because of the father’s active approach and sincere efforts, because of the help of others, and because of the catalyst of some emergencies, the iceberg between father and son has also undergone subtle changes. In contrast, his father's choice and hard work are undoubtedly more appreciated and moved by the audience. In this way, being able to take the initiative to reflect on oneself, take the initiative to let go of self-esteem, and take the initiative to abandon the arrogant father is undoubtedly saying goodbye to the traditional old concept, undoubtedly setting a new benchmark, "bad dad" is actually "good dad"!
Of course, the son is not a bad son, and his changes and responses are also gratifying.
As a commercial film, the overall tone of "Bad Dad" is relaxed and cheerful, the rhythm is relaxed, the laughs are quite dense, the foreshadowing is right, the reversal is simple and neat, and the action scenes of the climax scene are quite tense, and the finale is handled The method will undoubtedly make too many people moved by it, and even cry. Director
's lens language is quite proficient, and his son’s father-son conflicts when he grows up, he was addicted to schoolThe experience of, the intimate interaction with his father when he was a teenager, the ingenious switching between these scenes, the contrast is sharp, and the audience is very immersive. The film ends decisively when the audience is in the highest mood, avoiding procrastination and excessive sensationalism. This kind of treatment is undoubtedly smart.
"Bad Dad" has no popular traffic, but it has amassed a large number of powerful actors. Of course, Shao Bing and Kong Lin are old actors who have long been famous, while Sun Shaolong, Zhao Yuanyuan, Qiu Grace and Peng Ziheng are young actors. Under the director's careful tuning, he also performed well.
In the past few years, Shao Bing has interpreted a lot of bright artistic images for us in film and television dramas. He has always been praised by the audience for his heart-warming acting skills and rigorous style. In "Bad Dad", he has contributed more recently. The best performance in years. The majesty and concern when guiding employees, the anxiousness and diligence when eager to repair the relationship with his son, the means and scheming to please his colleagues, and the firmness and self-confidence when racing with his son are all portrayed very well. It ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
Sun Shaolong, the former "Snickers god", has grown up. He played Xiao Hanyi's two periods of youth and youth alone, creating a seemingly rebellious and rebellious bear child, making the audience always have the urge to tempt him , But as the plot deepens, Xiao Hanyi's good side is more revealed. Sun Shaolong's performance is real and natural, and his expression level is quite in place, showing the outstanding skills of young actors.
Xiao Dahai's "niece" Xiao Jiajia, played by Zhao Yuanyuan, is an assistant to the chairman. She is a goddess in every gesture, confident and free, fresh and refined, and is a tool to ease the tension between father and son. "Beijing Big Girl" Yi Yang, played by Qiu Endian, dares to love and hate but is sensible, capable of short hair and not attractive. Diaosi Kong Mingshun played by Peng Ziheng is not only an important joke of the whole film, but also a key role in promoting the plot. I believe they will have a lot of room for growth in the future.
Nowadays, almost all mainstream movie audiences in China are young people under the age of twenty-five, and major production companies are trying their best to be guided by their needs. But in fact, for the standards of good movies, the cognition of all ages is actually not much different, and there should not be too much deviation. Hollywood classics are still classics for too many teenagers.
During the most prosperous period of the Chinese film market in the 1980s, a large number of audiences were young and middle-aged in their 30s and 40s. The scene of holding parents' hands and a family entering the theater together is undoubtedly a fond memory of many people. From a global perspective, the booming film market cannot be supported by young audiences alone.
And "Bad Dad", a different kind of "parent-child" movie, was made for all older children, not only those born in the 90s, 00s, but also 80, 70, or even 60s. Every young man can accompany his parents into the theater, admire together, be moved together, cry together, and feel "maternal love is like water, father's love is like a mountain."
