Today the phone back panel was shattered....
It makes me very irritable, so today we will make a long story short, I need some cool time to meet tomorrow's working day....
Let's just start talking about the best films sold this week
The eighth suspect
Dust To Dust
The beginning of September is about to pass, the residual heat of the summer season has been exhausted, and the popularity of the cinema has also declined.
Of the four new domestic films released this week, only this one has exceeded 100 million at the box office, and it has to be said that Dapeng may have become a box-office appealing actor in the mainland market.
First of all, let's talk about a good thing, this movie is adapted from a true story, the lineup of all the "acting school", plus a good service performance, so that the movie has a good "sense of age", and the audience can also understand the authenticity of this story through the actors' good performances.
Dapeng presents characters in two directions in the same movie, greasy construction contractors and incognito fugitives behind, and the characters in both directions perform well, I believe this is one of the reasons why he won this year's film festival actor.
Of course, the other actors in this movie are not inferior, Zhang Songwen and Lin Jiadong play as stable as always, after watching it, I really want to see them act in a movie alone, the double hero drama of the mainland drama bone and the Hong Kong actor, with a good book, maybe you can do "Crazy" again.
Qi Xi is also good, both movies this week have her, both are quite natural. However, I don't know why, I feel like a woman who lives hard when I see her, and then there will be some hysterical scenes waiting for her...
Sun Yang became popular with the recent "All or Nothing", and it is not bad in this movie, and as a newcomer actor, he is not lost to his predecessors. The same northern Myanmar story is somewhat of a prequel meaning of "A Cai".
However, I personally suggest that Sun Yang still practice Mandarin well, maybe he can broaden the drama path a little, otherwise he may be a little limited in playing a handsome guy in the Greater Bay Area. (I'm not professional in this area, don't listen)
Okay, after the good words, let's talk about dry goods.
Is this movie good?
From a plot point of view, I think it's boring.
The title is "The 8th Suspect", so for the audience I look forward to it according to crime films or suspense films.
At least I finished reading the introduction and reading the trailer
What I think is that 5 armed bandits + Chen Xinwen + Chen Xinnian, a total of seven people, so who is the eighth suspect?
It should be the suspense point of the entire movie, is that about this robbery actually has another hidden plot? Probably also where I look forward to exploring the film.
But....
After watching it, I realized that it was a feature film, and the whole movie was not made according to crime or suspense at all.
The introduction is almost equal to all the core content, the movie really tells the story of a robber robbing and then fleeing....
The main thing is that this movie is also TM in reverse order, that is, even if you don't read the introduction, the movie tells you at the beginning that Dapeng is a fugitive, and he is finally on the run....
When I saw the second half of the movie, I suddenly remembered that this film was called "The 8th Suspect", and I was still thinking, maybe there will be a reversal later, and there will really be an 8th person!
As a result, I was told later that the eighth person was Dapeng, and the reason why he was called the eighth person was because the fake identity he set was counted as the eighth person....
No, you're sick, right? What a fool to fool the audience!!
Well, of course, I'm still very inclusive. I adhere to the principle that when you encounter movies, think about yourself first.
Then I think that I mistakenly predicted this movie as a crime film, maybe the director just wanted to make a feature film, and didn't think about suspense at all, so how the crime was done at that time, how we will shoot it now.
OK, this is no problem, then you also need to have a main line of plot.
For example, why did the character Chen Xinwen suddenly want to rob the bank, how was he affected by "robbing a taxi", and why did he have such great ambitions step by step? Or did he find some loophole and make a profit?
The movie does not say that although Chen Xinwen is called "Wen Ye", he not only does not show the strategy of the big man in the rivers and lakes, but also does not show the shrewdness that a small leader should have.
It feels like, "Give me an AK, give you a blessing, and we'll be bigger and stronger!" Create brilliance again! ”
I know that maybe it's really respecting the archetypal story, so the film just follows the order of development of the real story.
So let me ask, are you going to make a feature film or a documentary?
What do you give the audience to see? Is it to see this case? Or look at the human struggle of criminals?
This movie gives me a very vague feeling, it may be a little like "Breaking Bad", from the beginning of a small crime, one wrong step...
But how exquisite the plot design of "Breaking Bad" is, every layer of behavior and logic is buttoned, and it is unexpected.
What do you have? Except for the mention of grabbing a taxi, the whole process seems to have nothing to do with it.
What makes people very speechless is that this film does not design any dramatic bridges, forget it, honestly change the prototype story and leave a bunch of bugs....
The rhythm of the narrative is also chaotic, such as Sun Yang can't stay in the jade mine in northern Myanmar, saying that he wants to go back....
As a result, Dapeng ran to a "farmer and snake", smashed it, and cut the scene of Sun Yang crying...
Our one, really, as long as everything Sun Yang cried, the audience burst into laughter collectively...
With such feedback, if it is not what the director wants, I think it is that the director is not good at shooting and has poor ability.
If this is what the director wants ....
I think the director may have a bit of a problem with his brain.
I don't want to talk more, the films of the two "actor" in the film festival, at this level, now it seems that I was right not to consider the film of the main competition unit at that time.
5 points, who said that there are no bad films for winning awards? This doesn't? Both of the award-winning films this week sucked.
However, what domestic film awards are more golden?
We don't know, maybe the Golden Broom Award is still a little interesting~
(By words, when will the Golden Broom Award invite me to be a judge?) ）
Well, so much for writing, rest!
