Hi, good evening everyone, welcome to the entertainment sister to give you a film review.
To many, the world is an absurd whole. Every day there are a lot of inexplicable things happening in the world. The so-called forest is big and there are birds. The world is so big, there are always some absurd people who like such absurd things.
The movie recommended to you by the entertainment sister today can be said to be an absurd movie "A Little Chance". Both realistic and magical, it is a typical magic realism film masterpiece. Some netizens commented that this is a super magical movie. Why? Because at the beginning of the film, it gives everyone a big scare.
A young couple was boating on a calm lake, just when the boy Qian Jun took out the ring and prepared to propose, a huge cow fell from the sky, and even smashed on the girl's head impartially, the wooden boat was divided in half, and the fiancée unfortunately died. Imagine, what is the probability that you will be hit by a cow while walking on the road? This probability is almost impossible to achieve.
In the absurd argentina, there will really be a group of robbers, using planes to rob cows, and finally the plane is hit by the police, the robbers fail to rob, and the cows fall from the sky and smash innocent girls. What was originally a comedy turned into a tragedy in an instant.
The story begins with this incredible tragedy.
Another main line of the film is the protagonist of the story, Robert. With a mother dying in childbirth and a father dying of missing his son excessively, Robert became an autistic middle-aged uncle who became a freak in the real world. There is a mental cleanliness, running a small hardware shop, there is obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the number of screws is exactly the same.
He closed himself off in the real world and his only hobby was to collect strange news from various newspapers happening all over the world. In order to appreciate these magical events that occurred in the real world, he deliberately prepared a clip book that he often took out for self-appreciation. Those bizarre and ridiculous things are like narcotics, allowing him to slowly sink in a self-enclosed world as the only spiritual food.
It is these two people who look like they will never intersect, but because of a cow that has flown from the sky, they have intersected in the world. Qian Jun was in a foreign country in order to find relatives, but he was suffering from a language barrier and could not be found. Finally and unrecognizable Robert called for help.
Robert seemed to have an iron heart, and he would actually take him in because of Qian Jun's repeated affirmations. When Robert learned that Qian Jun was the hero of the anecdote he had collected, the surprise was like a stone thrown into a pool of water that had not moved for thousands of years, deep into the bottom of the pool, but with a ripple.
Yes, the only thing that can save Robert is not love, not the anecdotes, but the separation, death and misfortune that the cow brought about.
Qian Jun was pitiful, but the sunshine that came with him eventually infected Robert. The cow that Qian Jun deeply portrayed in Robert's yard was like a thunderclap in Robert's mind. "A Little Chance" seems to be accidental, but in fact it becomes inevitable. He became a stepping stone for Robert to open his heart. Let him re-examine himself and examine his life.
Let him finally seize his own happiness: Mary, who loved him so deeply. Qian Jun also eventually found his relatives because of Robert's help. At the end of the comedy, everyone is happy.
There is an old Chinese saying: blessings and misfortunes lie down, and misfortunes and blessings depend on, which is probably what it means.
The magical characters and supernatural phenomena presented throughout the film, love, affection, friendship, trust between people, and responsibility. While we laughed heartily, we were also deeply touched by the sincere emotions of the characters in the movie.
Starring the old man Darín is full of charm, as a middle-aged female nemesis. Living up to expectations, the elements that the director wants to express are unreservedly revealed.
An elegant and concise comedy. Let us understand that only the closer we are to our hearts can we get out of the darkness, the farther away we are from our own misfortunes and sorrows.
The film was nominated for Best Latin Film at the 2012 Spanish "Oscar" Goya Awards. Well worth a look.
