It was originally a good story of revenge and counter-killing of women after being deceived, if it was filmed according to the type of crime and thriller, it should be quite emotional, but the director was stunned to make this film into a mysterious literary film.
First of all, the relationship between the characters in this film is a bit too coincidental.
Zhou Ran was deceived by Ah Chang for 550,000, so she went to the southern town to look for it, she met the handsome guy Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao's friend Xiaoguang is Ah Chang; Not only that, Xiao Zhao was also a member of the scammer gang, he deceived his best friend Pang Ning, who had a common encounter with Zhou Ran, my God... It's really a coincidence, Zhou Ran found two liars at once, which is simply more powerful than the police.
Secondly, many plot events in the movie seem unreasonable, and the relationship between the characters is not explained thoroughly.
For example, Xiaoguang's attitude towards Zhou Ran, when they met by chance in the fog in the mountains, Xiaoguang had already realized that Zhou Ran was the victim who had been pitted by him, according to the psychology of ordinary people, it must be avoided, but later Xiaoguang and Zhou Ran dated in private, and let Xiao Zhao ask Zhou Ran to sing KTV, and also chose to cross the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he was ready to smuggle this night with Zhou Ran to watch movies, hang out, and play romance... I really don't understand, how did the screenwriter and director simulate Xiaoguang's mentality when designing these plots, and he wanted to compensate Zhou Ran? It shouldn't be so kind! Or did he want to test it and see if he could make another profit from Zhou Ran? Shouldn't be so confident, right?
Anyway, the motive of this Xiaoguang's behavior is very strange, the money smuggled has already been paid, and he can leave immediately, why should he be entangled with this woman again?
Of course, in the end, the director also designed the plot of arresting the smuggling gang, giving Xiaoguang a reasonable explanation, but the logic of his previous behavior still didn't make sense.
Including Zhou Ran's attitude towards Xiaoguang is also ambiguous, at first she definitely wanted to take revenge, but then she felt a little moved by true feelings, and the most unspeakable thing is why she saved Xiaoguang?
At that time, after Pang Ning discovered that Xiao Zhao was the suspect who deceived him, he asked Xiao Zhao to the beach in the name of Zhou Ran, and Xiaoguang came to the beach after seeing the information, and Pang Ning pressed and pressed Xiaoguang into the water without asking, almost drowning him; At this time, Zhou Ran, who had been drunk and sleepy before, suddenly came, not only did not "push the boat along the water", but also came a "beauty rescue liar", I especially can't understand this, even if it is not harmed, what if it is necessary to save Mao?
Do you want Xiaoguang to be grateful to her, so that Xiaoguang can fall in love with her, and finally give her a fatal blow?
In fact, the setting of two men and two women, two liars and two victims, if made into a thriller and suspense genre movie, designed as two girls teaming up to set traps, kill two men, or let two men kill each other, I guess such a story will be more attractive and look cooler.
But the director is biased, he wants to give you in the clouds and play hide-and-seek.
There is also the relationship between Xiao Zhao and Xiaoguang, which is also designed by the director so ambiguous, when I was watching the movie, several girls in the row behind me were talking there: The two of them seem to be a couple! Xiao Zhao doesn't like Xiao Guang!
Indeed, Xiao Zhao's attitude towards Xiao Guang seems to be very dependent and adoring, such as Xiao Zhao saying to Xiao Guang: If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have come here, and I wouldn't have met her; I remember what you taught me then.
There is also the intimate interaction between Xiao Zhao and Xiao Guang, the four opposite eyes are almost wire-drawn, including the past mentioned by Xiao Zhao when the three of them were playing games together, and Xiao Zhao recalled that when he was forced to cheat in Southeast Asia, he once said to Xiao Guang in the car: I like you, and I especially want to be with you forever. Isn't this just confessing to Xiaoguang under the guise of "words"?
But if this is the case, then what is Xiao Zhao chasing Zhou Ran before and confessing his love to Zhou Ran? Want to commit a new scam? Or are you deliberately angry?
There are too many emotional clues designed by the director, which weakens the core theme of women's revenge and counter-killing, and also makes the whole film appear messy and unintelligible.
