In the movie "Good things ", the female neighbor Xiaoye cannot understand why single mother Wang Tiemei wants to date Xiao Ma, the drummer in her band. She despises Xiao Ma, but Wang Tiemei tells her: "What can make you happy is Good stuff." In fact, Wang Tiemei did not regard the naive Xiaoma as a sustainable partner. She defined their relationship as "10 minutes of relaxation between classes."
Some people praise "Good Things", while others don't. So, what exactly is it? It's probably equivalent to Xiao Ma's position in Wang Tiemei's life: it can make him happy for a while, even if it's just a 10-minute break between classes. Director Shao Yihui described Shanghai as a "female-friendly city." The Shanghai in "The Good Thing" is more than "female-friendly." The block covered with sycamore trees in the movie is an ideal "dollhouse" for little girls and older girls: Men They act as "women's tools" very self-awarely. They are at the dinner table. The Internet is engaged in a "male competition" like a peacock. Women in their 10s, 20s and 40s fall in love with each other. The mother can be a daughter, the daughter can be a mother, the mother can be a friend, and the friend can be a mother. Even those from the past The scars from the original family and from bad intimate relationships are all meant to be healed in this ideal "doll house". Is "good stuff" like a "little sweet water" for urban women who live a relatively prosperous life? Are the jokes and quotes more vivid than the characters? Is it because the movie serves as a container for talk shows, so the audio-visual expressions are "random"? If the "ex-husband" in the movie is a feminist performance artist, is "Good Stuff" itself a feminist commodity? Even if the answer to the above questions is yes, it cannot be denied that it made many viewers, especially female viewers, happy for a while. This is worth ten thousand things - it may not be a "good movie", but it is still recognized as a "good movie" nice one". Costa Gavras, the veteran director who founded the "Directors' Fortnight" unit of the Cannes Film Festival, said: The success of a movie is always related to the desire of the audience. "Good Stuff" had a box office of 160 million yuan in its first weekend after its release. The buzz it created in public life far exceeded its box office performance. Compared with "Hot and Spicy" directed by "National Girl" Jia Ling at the beginning of the year, the audience base of "Good Stuff" is limited. However, "Good Stuff" is not afraid of "breaking away from the masses" and being "ungrounded", it uses this as its identity. The "female myths" or "female fairy tales" in this big city belong to those who can come into contact with the "Naples Quartet", Taylor Swift, Woody Allen and Arthur M. Le's audience, this group of people, especially the female audiences among this group of people, has been suffering for too long because "mainstream movies do not please women". In Shanghai, where "The Good Thing" takes place, in the past two or three years, the theater has staged the musical "Sorry!" that discusses women's fertility wishes. "Let me think about whether to have a baby or not", the intimate small theater "Good Luck Diary" that is resident in the show boldly shares why women who are caught between "being induced" and "self-will" actively choose "assisted reproduction", and more Not to mention "Omnivore" and "Statue of a Housewife" in the niche field of youth drama creation, which have triggered heated discussions within a limited scope. Drama workers have blatantly opened up a "sister shopping" communication field on the stage, but as a "bulk commodity", movies lag too far behind in this direction. "Good Stuff" sparked group carnival, not necessarily because of how "good" it is, but because in Chinese-language movies, such things are rare and come too late. The ex-husband said sincerely, "I will get a sterilization for you," and the female audience laughed; Xiao Ma yelled at Wang Tiemei in grievance, "I blocked you," and the female audience laughed; the ex-husband and Xiao Ma When Ma's Dinner Table "Xiong Competition" ended with the farce of Ma having her shirt taken off, exposing her eight-pack abs, the female audience burst into laughter. Since the first scene was screened, these "stalks" have been separated from the characters such as ex-husband and Xiao Ma, and separated from the situations in which they occurred. They have only been circulated as golden sentences and famous scenes.Second- and third-time viewers soon appeared in the cinema. Even before it was released, there were young viewers in the screening room who couldn't help but "rush" to answer the "stalks" in the movie. One after another, "golden movies" "Sentence Solitaire" is like stereo reverb. This kind of movie viewing scene is very much like the performance scene of the idol men's and women's groups - the dances of the men's and women's groups do not pursue effective interpretation of the music. Those movements do not carry meaning, but they can heighten the emotions, and are easy to copy and can Let fans "jump" enthusiastically. Isn't "The Good Thing" also such a unique and atypical movie? The classical dramatic structure and character creation followed in narrative films give way here to the expression of opinions and gestures. The little girl Wang Moli read the composition "I still like to be an audience", and "Hexagon Mother" Wang Tiemei taught her daughter "Integrity, bravery and determination". Reading volume," Xiaoye told Wang Moli, "The little boy is very funny. "...In these moments, emotions are the plot, and emotions can adjust the emotions of the audience better than the plot. This is not the inspirational summary Xiaoye told Wang Moli: "When you grow up, there will be new rules of the game." "Good Stuff" is eager to establish new game rules for commercial movies. Talking about "down-to-earth", there is "The Romantic Generation", which was released on the same day as "The Good Thing". In the scenes of Jia Zhangke that have been accumulated for more than 20 years, the absence of Chinese women in public life is shocking. The Romantic Generation's The gloomy reality of Jianghu's daughter running around at night under the city wall of Datong probably won't make people "happy" when they grow old. In terms of "superiority of audio-visual language", Wenders's "Perfect Day" encountered the "double world of film festivals and public releases". It was difficult to get a ticket at the film festival screenings, and there were only a few people at the public screenings. Even "Perfect Day" had to be praised. Reflect on whether I have been "disciplined by the aesthetics of white European men for too long." Therefore, compared with the box office performance of "One Perfect Day" and "The Flirty Generation" by older male directors, "Good Stuff" is really a good thing that can attract audiences back to the cinema.
