After spending 80 minutes watching the network movie "Strange Flowers", I felt that I was once again insulted by the domestic screenwriters, and there was a sense of unspeakable resignation.
"Strange Flowers" is produced by New Faction Culture and Penguin Film and Television, adapted from the classic masterpiece "Liaozhai Zhiyi Ge Towel", starring Mao Zijun, Xu Muchan and Wu Peirou, and the overall appearance is still online.
The plot tells that Shusheng often married Xiangfu Qianjin in Tian to return to his hometown, but found that his former lover Cao Yu's whole family was killed, and he happened to encounter a flower demon jade version that looked exactly like Miss Cao, and has since fallen into a bizarre and magical emotional puzzle...
Mao Zijun is often praised as a "beautiful man in ancient costumes", whether it is a real "lost pearl", at least the appearance is still very good, "Strange Flowers" he played in the bookish handsome and warm, indeed there is a kind of temperament that is easy to sink.
The peony flower demon sisters played by Xu Muchan and Wu Peirou have different styles, one gentle and pure love and one cold charm.
The first half of "Strange Flowers" seems to be a "tribute" to "The Ghost of Qiannu".
A scholar meets a pure love banshee into love, the banshee's sister beats the Mandarin duck can't help but think of the feeling of the old demon of Montenegro, and there is also a Sangdao person who descends the demon and exorcises the demon in "Strange Flowers" to play the role of "Yan Chixia", which is properly set up as a cottage version of "Qiannu Ghost" / "Xiao Qian", Qi alive!
However, the plot of the second half of "Strange Flowers" is becoming more and more bloody, and the ending is even more shattered!
The sister Red Peony Demon is named Ge Jian, and she is not a real "villain", but like her sister, she is one of Cao Yu's doppelgangers.
It turned out that the heroine Cao Yu and Shusheng often fell in love in Tian before they died, because they were pregnant before marriage and killed their father, and they were also pointed out by the villagers and driven out of the village, at this time, they received Hugh Shu who was often in Tian, it turned out that he had married Miss Xiangfu, and Cao Yu crashed to death in despair.
After Cao Yu died, she transformed into a red and a white peony demon, the white peony demon grew into the form of Cao Yu, simple and kind without hatred, and the red peony retained Cao Yu's unforgettable memory, she herself broke off her love, and she was also worried that her sister would be hurt by men again.
Isn't this the routine of "Si Teng", two doppelgangers always have one person caught in love brain, and the other person acts as a "stick" to beat the Mandarin duck.
However, the plot and characters of "Strange Flowers" can be as pleasing as "Si Teng".
In particular, the setting of the male and female protagonists is simply vulgar and old-fashioned to the extreme, a white lotus of the Virgin Mary of the World, and a living Chen Shimei.
Mao Zijun, who plays Chang in The Field Kyo Examination, was replaced by someone, and as a result became a beggar, at this time the prime minister forcibly married his daughter to him, and Xiangfu Qianjin forcibly married a beggar? That's right! The screenwriter is so willful!
Chang in tian as the uncle of Xiangfu all the way up the clouds, only to return to the village 7 years later to learn that Cao Yu was pregnant with a child and died of hatred, a sentence "I was forced, I never forgot you" on the whitewashing, what about the trouble?
The process of the White Peony Demon falling in love with Shusheng again is also inexplicable, and after reading it, she does not know what the reason for her being moved and fallen is, just because Shusheng took her hand and danced? Then it fell into love and couldn't extricate itself!
People are invincible, two people love to death and live, the red peony sister is angry to vomit blood, the audience will also see vomit blood!
"When you and I fell into demons because of him, and now because he killed each other, do you still let me let him have a way to live?" , the acting skills of the Red Peony Demon make people feel the pain of love through the heart, and the sister is the most miserable in the whole film!
The ending of the movie is even more devastating, the red peony ge scarf possessed by the tree demon killed the student, and the white peony jade version did not hesitate to commit suicide when he saw the book, so that he killed the sister and the tree demon at the same time, and before he died, he also used his own essence to save the student and all the villagers, this moment is like the virgin in the world.
The ending of "Strange Flowers" really makes people doubt life, what is this movie about?
After the heroine Cao Yu han died unjustly, people are curious about the growth and changes of the character of "Cao Yu" after becoming a demon, but the red and white peony demon sisters in the film tossed you to death, but the result did not change at all.
The students and villagers are alive and well, the heroine died thoroughly, and now even a trace of demon spirit has dissipated, if so, it is better not to turn into a monster in the first place!
What is even more provocative is that the sister who originally broke off love put down a line before her death: "Sister, it turns out that loving someone is much happier than hating a person, if you can start again, or love it", so the whole movie has to come up with such a childish conclusion?
It is true that love is happier than hate, but the male protagonist in "Strange Flowers" is often cowardly and selfish in the field, seeing beauty and ignoring morality, seeing wealth and nobility abandoning sincerity, seeing danger and forgetting the deceased, what is there worth loving about such a man? Scumbags have bitter feelings so they are not scumbags?
I can't believe that in 2021, there are still movies that preach that the heroine should pursue love at all costs and costs! In "Strange Flowers", the sister's love for her sister is not at all lost to her sister's love for scholars, is only the love of men and women in this world the most noble?
"Strange Flowers" as a small cost of the network movie is actually a lot of bright spots, such as the real picture is beautiful, the protagonist supporting role acting skills are online, the sisters for the sake of the students to fight the scene is very artistic, with entangled slow motion to show the sisters' complex and tangled heart, but the three views presented in the whole film are enough to destroy all, when can our domestic screenwriters give up the one-sided concept of "love first", willing to write the negative man to death!
