Hello everyone, I'm in Alaska with glasses and a microphone, tablet.
In the blink of an eye, the May Day holiday (adjustment) period (rest) has come to an end, everyone is on holiday I live in the cinema, these days to give everyone a lot of good films, but also a lot of bad films.
The movie I'm going to introduce to you today is something special —
There is the endorsement of the original book by Kotaro Isaka, who is firmly in the top three of Japan's best-selling list, directed by Li Yu, the director of "Guanyin Mountain" and "Apple", and supported by the acting skills of Ma Li and Song Jia.
Or the only "comedy" film in the May 1st file, known as "family fun":
Sunshine robbers
The film begins with a childish child's voice and a series of children's paintings, introducing us to the story setting, and also laying the "fairy tale" tone of the film, which lays the groundwork for the illogical chaotic plot:
Ma Hemei, played by Ma Li, and two friends run a pet detective agency in partnership, looking for lost pets, collecting commissions, and providing shelter for stray animals.
But what they do in their daily lives is true and has nothing to do with the search for favors:
Exposing the swindlers and deceiving fake monks, tearing off the disguise of fake urban management, and using stolen money to help old women who sell flowers...
Although the behavior involves violating the law, it is essentially a heroic act of righteousness, a righteous and lax wealth, a wide range of financial resources, a dilemma, and it is recommended to have more than three years of fixed-term imprisonment.
Until one day Song Jia came to the door, crying so much that I saw pity, and asked What Dongmei to help her find her lost daughter Nana.
Ma Dong what: We only look for pets and not people.
Song Jia: Nana is a tiger.
What Winter Plum: Oh, that's all right... yes?
It turned out that Song Jia was a veterinary nurse, and the tigress who delivered the baby had difficulty giving birth, and the mother and daughter both died.
Unexpectedly, when the body was buried (yes, they buried the tiger by digging a pit with their bare hands), the little tiger who should have burped came back to life.
Song Jia named the tiger Nana and secretly raised it in her own home.
Don't ask her why she didn't send it to the zoo, ask, just hate the poor conditions of the zoo, not as good as her one-bedroom apartment.
Unexpectedly, the well-known entrepreneur philanthropist Zeng Zhiwei took a fancy to Nana and snatched her away.
Ma Hemei was suddenly moved and immediately launched a rescue (theft) rescue (theft) operation. First disguise himself as a telecommunications company and go to Zeng Zhiwei's mansion on the island. The next day, he sneaked into the mansion and accidentally exposed the true face of Zeng Zhiwei:
Ostensibly a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist, he is actually manufacturing and selling drugs behind the scenes.
They rescue Nana, but on the way, they are attacked by Sha Yi, and even the boat with tigers and the gold and silver jewelry they snatched are all robbed.
The plan is seamless, and no outsiders have joined, so why would it be robbed?
After a illogical ICU brawl, the truth finally came out:
It turned out that Sha Yi was Song Jia's ex-husband, who was lazy and owed a bunch of debts on weekdays, and tiger Nana was not robbed, but was sold by Sha Yi to Zeng Zhiwei to repay the debt.
Sha Yi's men heard ma Dongmei's plot and followed them all the way, hiding on the surface of the sea to prepare to cut off their beards.
Don't ask me how Tibetans are hiding in the endless sea, ask, it is the screenwriter who has given them invisibility cloaks.
Song Jia found Sha Yi with the tacit understanding between the husband and wife (poof) and wanted to take the tiger away.
Unexpectedly, after the praying mantis catches the yellow bird, Zeng Zhiwei also found it, not only took back the tiger, but also shot Sha Yi and others.
Don't ask me how he got it, why an entrepreneur has a gun everyone, why an entrepreneur can kill people at will, ask, that is...
Even I can't go on, love it.
Zeng Zhiwei also talked about his own mental journey with self-care, and he did not understand the reason why the villain died of too many words:
It turned out that on the same day that Zeng Zhiwei's sister died, the tiger Nana was born, and it just so happened that they were both named Nana.
So Tiger = Sister Soul Reincarnation!
Reasonable, very reasonable.
what? Keep it? Wrong, how many years can a tiger live?
He was going to make a specimen of the tiger so that his sister would live forever!
？
At the critical moment, Ma Dongmei appeared in time and offered to make a bet with Zeng Zhiwei on whether she could snatch the tiger from Zeng Zhiwei's hands.
Then Zeng Zhiwei agreed.
Don't ask why Zeng Zhiwei can shoot her with one shot, but he still has a brain pump to bet with her, ask, is to feel sorry for each other.
In the end, Ma Dongmei was slightly better, and after some "you think you prejudged my prejudgment, in fact, I prejudged your prejudgment of my prejudgment", the police arrived in time and arrested Zeng Zhiwei for drug trafficking and murder.
What about tigers?
Oh, Tiger and Song Jia flew away in a hot air balloon.
It's really gratifying, hi skin nails!
I participated in the early viewing of the film before the release of the film, and at that time I said that although I did not understand it, I was greatly shocked.
This time, the second brush actually understood, and also let me have a lot of thoughts about this movie, but I was still greatly shocked.
What's this!
First of all, immensity, it fails as a comedy.
It is recommended to remove the "comedy" tag in the Douban entry.
Although there are two laughers such as Ma Li and zhang Haiyu, the "Aunt of Qingdao" whom Ma Li and I like very much, Sha Yi's performance in the film is still the taste of Bai ZhanTang.
But "Sunshine Robber" is one of the worst comedies I've seen in a movie theater.
A woman, ask the pet seeker to find her lost tiger.
The main line of this story itself sounds very absurd, and it is obviously not a satirical comedy represented by Ning Hao in "Crazy Stone".
Instead, it is a romantic comedy with "After The End" as a typical romantic comedy, between commercial films and literary films.
Taking "After Forever", which is also invested by Laurel Pictures, as an example, the plot itself is not complicated.
However, with the language talent and frequent golden sentences of Han Han's director Bengbu Zhu, the original niche literary and art film was made into a commercial comedy, and the box office reputation was double harvested.
Director Li Yu, on the other hand, seems to have just bubbled up a sentence outline.
The shorter than two-hour film is filled with large empty mirrors with unclear meanings, even more unclear riddle man lines, and deliberately slowing down the movements of the characters.
Self-harm humor sections such as a sharp brake throwing Sha Yi out of the skylight and kicking people into a piping hot chocolate soup are only amplified embarrassments.
The only laugh is to copy the dialogue from Kotaro Isaka's original book:
"Why do you need 4 people to rob a bank?"
2 people will quarrel, 3 people will be unbalanced, 5 people will not be able to sit in the car, so 4 people are just right. ”
Coupled with the unified background music of the "foreign woman singing and aria", this work not only has no ups and downs, but is far from the word "comedy".
If you walk into the theater with the mentality of watching comedy, or even try to bring your family to have a family party, then you seem a bit redundant.
As a fantasy film, the performance of "Sunshine Robber" is also unsatisfactory.
I can understand that the director wants to create a fairytale atmosphere with a detached costume.
But as long as the lighting or post-color grading is not in place, it will present a very serious sense of set, making the whole movie cheap from the inside out, and even not as big as some networks.
Matching the texture of the net is the special effect of up to 8 hairs.
The scene where Ma Dongmei steals the tiger has a lot of sea shots, visible jagged teeth and dropped frames, as if it has just been cut out of an animation and forgotten to render.
The characters and ships are completely out of the water, like floating stickers.
If you can accept all this, then allow me to invite the protagonist of this film - Tiger Nana.
Despite repeated statements from the crew, real tigers were used during filming.
Director Li Yu also stressed at the screening site that the tiger in the film is a combination of the same Hollywood tiger and the domestic tiger of "Young Pi".
But well... Why does this tiger look like a special effect?
It may be that I have a bad look, you help me see, is this a real tiger or a special effect:
I thought about it, there was only one possibility, the director was deliberate!
You think, if you shoot with real animals, you're going to be warned by animal protection organizations.
In "His Highness the Wolf" last year, whose bird was not washed away
So the director had a clever move: Hey ~ we shot the texture of the real tiger out of the special effects, isn't it over!
High, really high!
Just mentioned the original, "Sunshine Robber" as a remake of Kotaro Isaka's work, is also completely unqualified.
The film "Sunshine Robber" is based on the original novels of the famous Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka: "Sunshine Robber Reverse Earth" and "Sunshine Robber Daily and Attack".
I would like to first praise the filmmakers for respecting copyright.
At the same time, we must also express our heartfelt respect for the director's behavior of getting the copyright but not using it, and being stunned that he wants to make things up.
After getting a good recipe, I thought that if I memorized the recipe backwards, I would be a good cook, and even dare to cook the so-called "innovative dish", and the final one was "Sunshine Robber".
There are four protagonists in the original novel: Naruse, a civil servant who can see through all lies, Awano, a café owner, Yukiko, a single mother with a clock in her body, and Anato, a quick animal lover.
That's right, all four of them have superpowers.
They live an ordinary life on the surface, but secretly they have a common identity: bank robbers.
Each time the four men returned with a full load, and no one knew who they were, until one day they were blackened by another group of robbers.
In Isaka Kotaro's original work, the plot is divided into four povs, four flowers bloom in parallel, and finally merge the four into one, ushering in the biggest reversal of the whole story.
"Sunshine Robber" is a one-line narrative, first create a tiger, around this tiger to develop a story, the perspective switches between Ma Dongmei, Song Jia and Zeng Zhiwei, very boring and monotonous.
This main line is not explained clearly, and the logic collapses completely: the solution to the problem depends purely on the brain, the solution to the crisis relies purely on mechanical séance, and the supplementary motivation depends on the memory to kill.
Isn't that just a show!
The only restoration of the original work is to rob the bank.
It's not the money that's being robbed, it's the tiger.
Also an adaptation of Kotaro Isaka's original book, "Sunshine Robber" is five times worse than the "Golden Dreamland" I previously explained.
What is Isaka's own attitude towards this film?
The translation of the adult words is: although it has nothing to do with the original work, but the money has been given in place, you are happy.
The original four-person group with their own personality traits is basically different, losing superpowers, not to mention, and the role distribution is also seriously uneven.
If you are a fan of Xie Ruitao's "Your Boy TT", then I would not recommend you to go to this movie.
TT plays the thief in the film, but the few scenes that belong to him are cut to pieces.
His character's only role in the film is to use a lame method to almost steal Sha Yi's wallet in person.
And TT's performance in the film is not even as good as his improvisation in the film, with almost no single close-ups and frontal shots, more side faces, silhouettes, and even backgrounds.
The later dubbing was even more of a disaster, he seemed to leave the vocal cords at home, and the original magnetic voice disappeared without a trace;
Unfortunately, I made a Chinese knot on my tongue, and my line skills reminded me of an actress who earned more than 2 million a day but refused to treat the dog.
If you are like me, I like "Qingdao Aunt" Zhang Haiyu very much.
Then I suggest that you review his wonderful performance in "Paramount Tonight", pick a random issue, and you can ruthlessly hang "Sunshine Robber".
He plays the so-called "inventor" who has obvious intellectual disabilities and disguises baldness with strange hats.
Except for a car that could not open the door from the inside (copying the original setting), there was not a single invention with half a bit of technology content.
And his role in the film is even more insignificant than his pitiful inventions.
Director Li Yu focuses on showing the only CP between Ma Li and Song Jia.
After all, Li Yu's directorial debut "This Summer" is a lesbian love film.
Although there are obvious traces of deletion, it is not difficult to see their CP identity from the ambiguous interaction between Ma Dongmei and Song Jia, the lipstick mark on Ma Dongmei's cheek, and the parting speech that is almost confessional.
But personally, I can't really do this pair.
The goddess Song Jia is still very beautiful, even if she deliberately dresses up ugly and is filmed by the camera, the subtle spots and wrinkles are not only difficult to hide the beauty, but also set off her more dusty.
Unfortunately, the director arranged too many hysterical scenes for her.
Let a goddess who was originally a virgin, dust and desire to merge into one, into the first second of yelling, the second of crying daddy and mother, crying and crying less than three sentences of mental illness.
And my impression of Mary is still stuck in "Charlotte Troubles".
This time, Ma Li finally evolved from "man wife" to "man", but even if she lost "woman", she was not left an inch, and she could perform the temperament of handsome T, and the T of handsome T was shown from the inside out, showing between the hands and feet.
And Ma Li's evil smile and the profane tone when reading the lines are all permeated with the greasy feeling of a shareholder's effect.
It may be that there are too many greasy male stars around her, so that Ma Li has misunderstood "male charm".
In this movie, ma Li and Song Jia's impact on cp is no less than seeing the school flower with excellent character and learning, and marrying the Wang butcher who sells meat in the vegetable market. (Did not say that the king butcher is not good)
Coupled with the fact that the editing cuts the interaction between the two to pieces, it is more difficult to get a sense of CP, and even less than the mixed cuts made by fans:
This mixed cut is really good to cry, BV number: BV1ZB4y1w7dp
And it's hard for me to find empathy in Song Jia, or to think that her actions are half justified.
First of all, her series of behaviors from stealing pension tigers to robbing banks are all illegal and criminal;
Secondly, we ordinary people, do not have this condition and opportunity to retire the tiger, generally this luxury hobby, belong to a prince in Dubai;
In the end, the tiger was lost and recovered, and Ma Dongmei paid a lot for her, but it is difficult for us to see Song Jia's transformation in the film.
If in the end, Song Jia drops a hot air balloon, returns the tiger to the country, faces up to her feelings, and is with Ma Dongmei.
Instead of escaping with the tiger in a balloon, I count that she has a character arc, and the evaluation of this movie may be a little higher.
Song Jia's role itself is incomplete in storyline, so the director finds a supplement on Ma Dongmei and kills with a very abrupt memory to provide a background for her handsome image and personality.
It turned out that Ma Dongmei, in order to spend pocket money when she was a child, directed herself to perform a kidnapping scene of "I tie myself up", but she watched her mother holding the money and being killed by a car.
Burdened with the guilt of killing his mother, Ma Hemei overcorrected and overdoed his independence.
It is no wonder that she is attracted to the motherhood of Song Jia.
Unfortunately, the character setting was not completed until the end, which was a bit too late.
The image of the characters is not full enough, the emotions are not rendered in place, and the audience cannot bring in at all.
Song Jia and Tiger reunite twice, hug twice, and the well-timed BGM seems to remind the audience that these are two crying points.
But in the face of the self-touching of the characters in the film, we only have big eyes and small eyes to look at each other.
What makes my straight male audience most unbearable is that almost all the remaining characters in the film are men.
And these male characters are not stupid and bad, Zeng Zhiwei is psychopathic, the top of his hands is colored and bad, and even the police are like dementia.
The only one who has a little bit of cuteness, after realizing his love for his wife, still betrays his wife.
In order to set off the beauty of female CP, it will not suppress men so severely, right?
Director Li Yu was obviously aware of the quality of the film and said at the screening:
"'Sunshine Robber' doesn't make sense from the logic of behavior, but it follows the logic of emotion, as long as you can feel it personally, you can find happiness in a helpless life."
WITH ALL DUE, I want the audience to empathize and resonate with a film with a chaotic plot, a split logic, and a big quality of the net, and even find happiness and get happiness...
It is also too strong to be difficult.
However, the theme song "Don't Lose Me" sung by Zhang Jie and the interlude "I want to hold you" sung by Song Jia are both good and tear-inducing.
Since the ancient bad film out of the good song, sincerely do not deceive me.
Speaking of which today, I went to see "After Forever".
What do you like most about Kotaro Isaka's work, and what are some of the adaptations that you think were successful?
Feel free to let me know in the comments section.
Bye bye bye bye.)
