1. Do you remember those golden years? The directors are engrossed in polishing the script and shaping the characters with precision and detail. However, now, they have begun to pursue outrageous gimmicks without a bottom line, in a vain attempt to attract the public eye through various whimsical plots and illogical settings.
The past is picturesque, and many directors have worked tirelessly to craft the script, meticulously portraying the character traits of each character and their life journey. They always explore the rigor and rationality of the plot, and try their best to build a logical plot direction, so that the words and deeds of the characters seem natural and believable.
The film and television masterpieces of that era emerged in an endless stream, winning the warm love and crazy pursuit of the audience.
However, time flies, and I don't know when some directors have lost their awe of the script. They began to ignore the logic of the plot and arbitrarily choreograph some absurd plots; They no longer pay attention to the depth of the character, but let the character do something that defies common sense.
In order to earn enough eyeballs, they did not hesitate to use vulgar gimmicks in an attempt to tease the audience's nerves with a thunderous approach. This kind of desecration of art and fooling the wisdom of the audience is really heartbreaking!
2. recalled those absurd plots: the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army actually shared the bed with the ghost child commander; The newborn baby exhibits unusual behavior and jumps away from the scene; The commander of the Eighth Route Army ate a lot of food, but claimed that the environment was difficult.
Let's revisit the hilarious and ridiculous scenes described in the original text. In a certain clip of an anti-Japanese TV series, a captured soldier of the Eighth Route Army, who was supposed to suffer endless torture, spent a good night with the actress who played the ghost child chief.
In another episode, a few months old baby displays otherworldly reflexes at gunpoint, and when the man is about to pull the trigger, he jumps and runs away, which is undoubtedly a blatant challenge to common sense.
3. Let's take a look at those settings that go against common sense: high heels are even more powerful than pistols and can kill devils; The devil turned a blind eye to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army; The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army threw steamed buns at each other in a fight, causing food to be scattered all over the ground.
Although the absurdity of the film's storyline is enough to be compelling, the way some details are handled is even more hilarious, which is actually beyond the realm of common sense.
In one scene, several valiant female warriors stepped onto the battlefield in high heels, and the high heels spun wildly under their feet, far more powerful than pistols, and many enemy soldiers were trampled to the ground.
In another sequence, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army clings to the thigh of an enemy soldier, and even though the enemy troops around him are rushing by, they turn a blind eye and no one comes to the aid of their comrades, which is too counterintuitive.
In addition, there is also a scene, just because of a trivial matter, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army began to fight each other, what is even more ridiculous, they actually picked up the steamed buns in their hands as weapons and threw them at each other, the rice splashed everywhere, and the precious food was wasted, making it unimaginable that there was an extreme shortage of food resources at that time.
Fourth, not only is the plot extremely absurd, but even the costume design is incredible: female warriors fight in modern tight-fitting cheongsams and high heels; Wearing heavy makeup, dressed up in fancy clothes, ambushing the enemy; Dressed in black and masked, it is like a mysterious character in a martial arts drama who suddenly attacks the enemy army.
The absurdity of the plot needs no elaboration, however, the way some of the costume designs are handled is also amusing. In one scene, several female warriors wore modern tight-fitting cheongsams and high heels in order to raid the enemy base, and it must have been difficult to move.
In another scene, a group of female warriors ambush the enemy, each dressed in colorful costumes and heavy makeup, looking more like they were going to a fashion show than a fight.
There is also a scene where several female warriors are dressed in black and masked, like characters who have stepped out of a martial arts drama, preparing to raid the enemy stronghold, which is too absurd.
5. Behind these absurd and bizarre shots, perhaps the crew's ignorance of common sense, or the deliberate pursuit of the effect of "brain-opening" to attract attention, all show the laziness and lack of motivation shown by the directors in the process of work.
Such absurd and bizarre scenes make people wonder why the directors made such an arrangement. One possibility is that the crew generally lacks common sense and has serious cognitive deficiencies in basic logical thinking, so they will do things that go against common sense.
Another possibility is that some directors have the desire to "go all out" and pursue what they consider to be "fascinating novelty", in a vain attempt to gain the public's attention through such vulgar methods.
Whatever the case may be, they all reveal a perfunctory style of some directors who ignore progress in their creative process, ignoring the basic respect and reverence that their profession should uphold.
As an art, film and television series are by no means trivial, they carry deep emotional connotations and a wide range of cultural values. Only when directors can respect the feelings of the audience and devote themselves to carefully polishing each script, can such works go further on the road of art and have a deeper connotation.
