Whether it is Hayao Miyazaki's "What kind of life do you want to live" by Hayao Miyazaki, or "Under the Daylight" starring David Jiang, new movies are released one after another, and one movie is supported by Dong Yuhui, and Wu Jing is even more "pulling out a knife to help".
It is "The World of Grass and Trees", which made Jiang Qinqin win the Asian Best Actress Award, and with its low-cost production, it actually broke out of the encirclement in front of foreign blockbusters and ranked among the best, which is surprising and proud of domestic films.
I thought that there were powerful actors Jiang Qinqin and Chen Jianbin and the three of them starring, and the traffic Xiaosheng Wu Lei starred, and the reviews should be good, but when I clicked on the Douban score, I found that it fell all the way, which was miserable, and the Internet was constantly complaining, expressing my dissatisfaction, it can be said that the comments are more exciting than the plot.
This unexpected result is unbelievable, especially the sentence "spending money to buy guilt" is even more murderous, the box office is not bad, and the star acting skills are also online, why has it become the target of netizens' complaints?
The plot reversal is too exaggerated
"The World of Grass and Trees" can meet Miyazaki's movie, as well as the high-cost and long-famous film like "Godzilla vs. King Kong", first of all, you have to admire the director's courage, and the results of "The World of Plants and Trees" really did not disappoint the director's choice.
This script is a positive family drama, about a single mother in the countryside who grows up with her children, and works in the city in order to find her husband and take care of her son.
Movies like this about family love have also been particularly popular in recent years, with "Wrestling Dad" and "Hello, Li Huanying" after "Hello, Li Huanying", this type of movie is very touching in today's society.
And the plot in front of the movie is indeed worthy of the audience's expectations, making people feel mixed feelings in their hearts, and even think of many life events of themselves and their mothers.
Especially Jiang Qinqin and Wu Lei's excellent acting skills, making the audience feel that they look like themselves when they were young.
The director of "The World of Grass and Trees" uses realism to depict the rural life that people in the city can't see, and the difficulties of the poor that the rich can't see, and integrates these bits and pieces of life with the fate of ordinary people, as if telling a story and writing life into a movie.
However, when the plot substituted the audience into it, and when the audience was addicted to the bits and pieces inside, the director's painting style changed, from sensational realistic content, to a "fantasy film" with high hormones and no story connection.
In the play, after the male protagonist's mother had mental problems, the picture directly turned to be already on the child's back, and how Wu Lei went up the mountain and how to find it, there was no shot in the whole process.
However, the strange thing is that at this time, the two fell into the water without warning, and her mother also saw a tiger in a trance because of insanity.
It makes people wonder what the director wants to express, some netizens said that probably the director wants to vaguely say that people's desires are as powerful as tigers, and the lake can wash away all dust, which shows the contradiction of human beings, on the one hand, they desire desire, and on the other hand, they want to be alone.
Good guys, it's such a simple and easy-to-understand movie, but you need a highly educated review master by your side to understand it.
So some netizens couldn't help but complain: I want to learn Jiang Wen again, I want to learn American directors, and I want to learn Ning Hao, but in the end I can't learn anything.
Some netizens also said that what they watched was not the story, but the picture and travel, why do you say that?
The picture is noisy
In today's era when special effects are full of screens, it has to be said that it is really unique to be able to tell a story while taking a pleasing picture of the city's beauty.
However, no matter whether it is special effects or pictures, a realistic movie must always be based on the story, and the audience must first understand it.
This is like a romantic expression of love, and suddenly begins to show off a large number of luxury cars and describe the tragic past of the male protagonist, which will inevitably make the audience feel dramatic and disgusted or even confused.
After all, no matter how luxurious your car is, what we are looking at is the meticulous care you took in the early stage, the tissues are ready, and you suddenly say that you are a rich second generation, how can this reversal be acceptable.
The sense of fragmentation of the abrupt turn of the plot instantly makes the audience who is addicted to the previous plot feel uncomfortable, and it cannot effectively resonate again, after all, a story or a movie can make the audience enter the play, and it needs the foreshadowing and precipitation of the picture and story.
So many netizens criticized that this is like two completely different movies put together, of course, some netizens jokingly said that it was too worthwhile, and it cost the money of one movie to watch two movies, and the cost performance was simply too high.
Some netizens said that the director's original intention may not be to make this drama well, but to practice his own movie ideas.
Although there are constant bad reviews, I have to say that the acting skills of the actors in it are still good.
Acting online, not on face
The selection of actors in "The World of Grass and Trees" is still very good, Jiang Qinqin, Chen Jianbin , Wu Lei's superb acting skills have added a lot of luster to this movie, and Wu Lei has not departed from the character setting in the play because of his good traffic.
On the contrary, he performed the setting expected by the director, and he perfectly interpreted the appearance of an ignorant teenager who was rebellious and chased after life, but no matter how good his acting skills are, for a large number of reversals in the plot, it seems that this drama is very messy.
Among them, Wu Mosshua played by Jiang Qinqin was a poor and motivated woman in the countryside who came to the city to work, but as soon as the camera turned, she became a deceived person with a flamboyant personality, and suddenly went insane.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of time or the director's lack of research on real events, or because he exaggerates the greed of human nature, making people feel that these things are too exaggerated and unreal.
Between these shots, there is a lack of some introduction, and the small fragments of the story in each plot in the movie are not bad, but the precipitation before and after is very lacking.
Although Jiang Qinqin vividly interprets the different characters in the play, because of the lack of details, it also limits the space of the actors.
Some netizens said that what they saw was not a story, but to give a woman a sudden change of personality, a sudden path of going down a crooked path, and a sudden mental illness, and that's it, because they couldn't see her inner fluctuations.
And the tea boss played by Chen Jianbin can be said to be dispensable, he does not show the middle-aged man's pursuit of love, and he does not have the treacherous and heartfelt eyes of the boss.
The character setting is too bland, this is not to say that Chen Jianbin is not good at acting, after all, the TV series he has starred in have performed well in both ancient costumes and modern love.
So some netizens said that Mr. Chen Jianbin came to make up the numbers in this drama, just to give Jiang Qinqin a husband, and the director didn't think too much about their love.
It can only be said that the director's positioning in this drama is a character setting, and there are not too many details to narrate, which also suffers from Mr. Chen Jianbin's acting skills.
It seems that next time, it is necessary for the director to think about the script carefully, even if he wants to streamline the content, he must be clear about what kind of movie he wants to express to the audience, after all, the most important thing for a good movie is to make the audience empathize with it and remember it.
However, there are still a lot of wonderful scenes in the play, there is a scene where Chen Jianbin teacher earrings Jiang Qinqin quarreled, and the two fought in the play, which was so realistic that the people in the program team were stunned, they thought that the two were really angry because of something.
But fortunately, Jiang Qinqin jokingly explained that it was just her and Chen Jianbin "flower work".
In fact, what is very interesting is that some netizens said that the fame of the movie "Grass and Trees in the World" is actually very good, and it feels like a literary film about the portrayal of social life and no lack of culture.
I thought that the actors should be played by those who are not well-known, but I didn't expect to invite so many big names, and chose to forgive the director, after all, it can be seen from here that the director likes a sense of contrast.
Although the later performance of "The World of Grass and Trees" is a bit disappointing, I have to say that it has been a success to be able to break out of many foreign films, and the early story and character presentation have indeed moved the audience, of course, there is no perfect work, and the perfection of the work actually lies in its imperfection.
