#杨幂没有一顿火锅解决不了的事#
Just by looking at the title and synopsis, you can roughly guess that this is another black comedy, and there must be a lot of reversals and coincidences in it.
But I didn't expect that there could be such a coincidence!
A line from the teacher Jiu Cake played by Yu Qian points out the relationship between the characters in the whole film - "How about playing family photos with me and your family?"
At the beginning of the movie, a riddle-like couplet "Demolition and demolition officials, family wealth; Tibetan dramas, there are hard to speak" introduces the cause of the whole film, and also introduces the four main characters of this film, oh no, it's five, including the "demolition officer" in the puzzle.
Then, a mahjong hand, the personalities and origins of the four characters of Nine Cakes, Seventy Thousand, Fortune, and Chicken were also roughly introduced.
This is followed by the grand debut of two boxes, around which all kinds of bizarre and serendipitous things come one after another, endlessly, and infinitely reversed, and full of laughter.
In the meantime, the face change with Sichuan and Chongqing characteristics, Sichuan opera and related gongs and drums, singing lyrics, costumes, and characters in the play (Shi Qian, Bao Zheng, Guan Gong) also appear just right, either to set off the atmosphere, or to create coincidences, or to promote the plot, or to reverse the situation, or to point out the theme, such as the phrase "good and evil retribution follows like a shadow;
As a black comedy, this film also has a lot of laughs. For example, the section where the four people "change their faces" and divide the "corpses"; there is also the interrogation of the "demolition officer", and all the members "don't interrupt me, I have my train of thought"; including the plot of the male and female thieves suddenly fighting and pulling each other's hair in the process of investigating the truth.
However, how to say it, whether it is the suspense and reversal part, or the funny and comedy part, it seems a little deliberate because of too much "too much coincidence".
Especially in the end, the parts of "recognizing relatives", "saving people" and "waking up and returning things to their original owners" are a bit embarrassing and difficult to convince.
Of course, I also understand that the screenwriter and director want to persuade people to be good and grasp the theme of "retribution for good and evil", but also to fill in some of the holes buried before and give the audience an explanation.
But...... Don't you know that in Chinese painting, there is a saying about "blank space"?
The audience is not stupid, and many plots do not need to be explained to us so clearly and clearly, leaving some room for wanting to talk about it, which may be more evocative and thoughtful.
For example, there is a plot where the "demolition officer" was shocked and choked due to an accident, everyone thought he was dead, 70,000 burst into tears, didn't cry a few times, and suddenly explained the origin of his relationship with the "demolition officer" and some clues left by his mother back then...... Actually, you don't have to!
A lot of things, not to say it, are interesting!
If you say everything thoroughly, you'll be bored!
and the design of the final "white lotus in seconds" for all members, which is also very abrupt, I would rather see the "demolition officer" become a fool and end, wouldn't it be cooler to have evil retribution? !
It's better than the end of the five people who gathered at the scene of the crime to eat hot pot together, and then said a very embarrassing Internet joke "There is no hot pot that can't be solved, if it doesn't work?
PS：
The role of Mi Ji in this film is too suitable for Yang Mi, showing her eccentric, smart, sharp-toothed, and poisonous mouth and eye poison to the fullest!
SO, BIG POWER, YOU MUST PICK A ROLE THAT SUITS YOU IN THE FUTURE! DON'T PLAY THE HEAD OF THE SECRET SERVICE SECTION ("HARBIN 1944") AGAIN, A CHARACTER WHO IS VERY INWARD-LOOKING, AND CAN'T HOLD HIS AURA A LITTLE!
