In 2021, 212 movies were watched, an average of less than 1 per day.
This year, things are mixed and numerous, and it is impossible to brush up on movies like in previous years.
Let's talk about this year's theatrical films.
I still remember going to the cinema on the first day of 2021 to see "Send You a Little Red Flower."
At that time, no matter what, I could not imagine that Liu Haocun could be shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Film Queen with the role of Ma Xiaoyuan. Is this proof that the golden rooster level is not very good, or liu Haocun's acting skills are indeed worthy of praise?
Liu Haocun in "Little Red Flower" and Liu Haocun in "One Second", full of energy, the skin is full of nutritional balance.
Energetic and energetic, it is a good thing for Zhang Yimou, who has reached the age of ancient rarity, but not a good thing for Liu Haocun's performance.
"Little Red Flower" has never told the audience, how can a cancer patient with little time have Liu Haocun's radiance?
There are many new films in the Spring Festival file, two days and one night, brushed 7 movies, sleepy to go to the hotel near the movie theater to sleep. When I wake up, I write the manuscript and go to the cinema after writing.
The worst-looking movie is Detective Chinatown, "a 136-minute video." ”
The Douban score of "Detective Chinatown" is 5.3, thank goodness, Si Cheng did not let his ex-wife participate, otherwise, this movie may not have a rating.
The rumors of Si Cheng's ex-wife confused me, as long as the movies she starred in involving love would suddenly lose the Douban score. When everyone summed up the rules and found that there would be no ratings for movies involving love, these movies resumed their ratings.
The world has rules, and there are unspoken rules. A person has an A-side, and there is also a B-side that the public can't see.
As evidenced by this, after Wu Yifan and Wang Lihong became the focus of attention, watching the romance films "Xia You Qiaomu Yawang Heaven" and "Love Notice", it was really "don't be a taste in your heart".
Go on with theatrical films.
My best theatrical film of the year was Dune. This is a movie made for the big screen.
To paraphrase Luc Besson, watching Dune in theater is like kissing a beautiful woman, and watching it on a computer is at best a picture of kissing a beautiful woman.
There are no Villeneuve in China, and there are not many movies like Dune.
"Fame and Fame" gives people an intellectual pleasure, recommend it.
Of course, in 2021, I also watched a lot of bad movies.
Bao Bell, a seriously ill patient with straight male cancer, remade the "Sunshine Sister Tao" that focuses on girlfriend love, and really responded to Feng Xiaogang's web drama "South and North".
Do domestic film directors have a misunderstanding of Chinese audiences and especially like to create a perfect woman who conforms to the aesthetics of male power?
In "I Want Us Together", Zhang Jingyi takes the face of a school flower that has been the same for ten years, acting as a perfect sample of male power perspective. She is white and beautiful, she does not abandon, she strictly abides by the moral admonition of marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, and always guards herself like a jade for the male protagonist.
In "Your Wedding", the female protagonist does not keep the female morality, but the male let go of himself.
The male protagonist is like licking a dog, the female protagonist is like green tea, and he does not feel tired when he divides and merges. The little couple sitting behind me, they kicked my seat while nibbling on each other's faces, the action was too big, let me have a great value for money experience, on the screen is love, off-screen is action, trance, I feel like I'm watching a love action movie.
In addition to the above, there are many movies that I can't think of for a while and a half. I'm not going to go on.
Unlike last year, my feelings for domestic movies have faded a lot.
Since yiqing (deliberately writing a typo), the film industry has been having a bad time, and my income has also been affected. As long as there are new films, I will always go to the theater to support.
Yes or no, at least one a week, at that time, I had a high enthusiasm for the crowd to collect firewood.
I can't run this year, and as long as I don't have a need to write, I won't go to the cinema.
In terms of non-theatrical films, a total of 8 movies have been given five stars.
They are "Don't Look Up", "The Deadly Sword", "Upside Down Golden Hook", "Cute Animals" (documentary, excellent lines), "Warrior", "Miss Dionysus", "Return".
These are just my personal ratings, and it's hard to get out of my personal aesthetic tastes.
For example, I especially like absurd comedy, so I gave "Upside Down Golden Hook" and "Don't Look Up" five stars. "The Sword of Death" has a kind of pride that cannot be killed, and I also gave five stars - the narrative of this movie is full and neat, it is a very complete good, such as Goro's memories of that section, the memory set of memories, and the perspective is not chaotic.
Except for five-star movies. I picked 7 of the more watchable four-star films in no particular order.
1. "A World for Children"
Reason for recommendation: It is a children's film of sufficient quality. Too many children's films use the perspective of adults, such as Miyazaki's "Totoro", which is a children's film (Oshii Mori) from an adult perspective, and "A World of Children" tells stories from the perspective of children.
2. "The Final Duel"
A rape case discussed, the same thing, how different the perspectives of men and women are.
3. "Help"
Reason for recommendation: Douban 8.8 points, Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain's casting is a stroke of genius. Why do similar whites have very different attitudes towards black people? Because of the similarity of appearance, its meaning is more obvious, and racial discrimination is a traditional concept that is taken for granted. Similar works include "Hidden Characters".
4. "Bouquet of Love"
Reason for recommendation: Screenwriter Yuji Osakamoto's new work. The male protagonist is overjoyed to become a passerby on the map, and this time it seems to light up his life by chance and become a miracle in his life. His later love was a large rehearsal of this miracle. Therefore, the screenwriter will arrange for the map miracle to be reproduced at the end. The beauty of love is not to meet the perfect person (of course not), but two ordinary people who can light up each other's lives. It made us overjoyed, it turned out that she could be so cute and I could be cherished by her.
"Bouquet of Love" is the inspiration of life, it can not be exchanged for the love of the white head and the old, love is not the inevitable of marriage. However, even if they are not together, this love is still a cherished life.
5. "All year round"
Reason for recommendation: Wang Jing should be one of the most underrated directors in China, and his films are worth brushing up.
The same is the filming of the Spring Festival, there is a film that copied foreign countries into a small hit, but Wang Jing's "All year round" is rarely known. Before the Spring Festival, the people's hearts in the world, the people in the North Drift were not easy to live in, the middle class was still at the bottom, and they were all scorched by the Spring Festival. Hit five stars just to hope more people see it.
6. "Classmate Manass"
Reason for recommendation: A new work by the director of "Big Buddha Plus".
Mynas is a school goddess of her middle school years and a runaway woman who has been crushed by life. The film shoots the feelings of youth will eventually pass away. Good buddies become tools to solicit votes, and old classmates become chicken-faced leading bosses. Classmates and teenagers are not cheap, thinking that they can soar into the sky with two wings, but later found out that they are just chickens.
7. "Our Story"
Recommended reason: This movie has made two, very cheerful citizen comedies, the plot arrangement is somewhat artificial, and it is sincere. It's not easy for women to live.
In addition to movies, I only recommend three domestic dramas, one is "Ideal City", one is "I am very good in other places", and the other is "Royal Gifts".
I didn't recommend "Love Is Delicious" because after 10 episodes, it was a bit broken, and it was very corrupt.
I was pleasantly surprised by the group portrait handling of "Ideal City", the company's top management held meetings, the seats implied identity, and every scene was done in an orderly manner. This is an underrated workplace drama – I have also written tens of thousands of words of long reviews about this play, and if you are interested, you can go to my public account (riyu1314) to read it.
"I'm Fine In Other Places" echoes the mood of the times and is grounded.
There is a bright spot at the end that is easily overlooked, Hu Jingjing's mother seems to be fine, and her loss proves that she is actually worse. Jingjing's death cannot be solved by some people's love and enlightenment.
"Imperial Gifts" is a fictional story, but the story base uses real historical details, and the director has blessed the play a lot. Even if the male and female protagonists are in love, their love words are also in line with the identity of the characters, and Chu Chu said that the reason why he likes Xiao Jinyu is that his head is good. One sentence points out the professional self-consciousness of the masterpiece.
I didn't find the relevant picture, so let's take a look at it.
This year's film and television summary is here, I don't have enough time to review them one by one, but only said a small part.
Next year, I will still watch more movies and read more. Strive for 300 movies and read more books. Let's end with a passage I posted before.
We love movies, we love to read, it's not that we can't live without it. But life would be more beautiful with them. Most people are not the protagonists of life, there is no protagonist aura protection, lack of noble blessings, a little attention will be punched in the face by life.
In the book, in the movie, we can go to another world, which can be Ali Baba's sesame door, Alice's sleepwalking wonderland, and a yawn when we are sleepy, a lazy waist in our fatigue.
