After the National Day file, the theater was deserted for a long time. Now that we have entered the end of the year, good films are continuous, which is simply the spring of movie fans. The recently released "Manslaughter" has a very high evaluation and strict logic, which makes people addicted after watching it; and "Ip Man 4: The End" also shows the last days of a generation of grandmasters, and the audience is full of tears.
However, the more serious topic may not be suitable for the mood of wanting to relax at the end of the year, want to go into the theater and laugh out loud, coincidentally, a "Half a Comedy" released a few days ago is a comedy with excellent reputation.
"Half a Comedy" starts from the story of a pair of good friends Sun Tong and Zheng Duoduo: Duoduo is a Beijinger, Sun Tong is from a small place to beijing, and he borrows to live in Duoduo's apartment for free. In the summer when he was facing graduation and employment, Duoduo was ready to get married, and Sun Tong also found a job in Beijing, but Momo's appearance changed the lives of the two. Their different views of love collide, creating a peculiar chemistry.
Looking at the production lineup of this movie, it is very familiar: the director and screenwriter are Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, and Momo is played by Ren Suxi. That's right, this movie is a brand new work that the original team of "Donkey Got Water" took three years to polish! This is also the film of happy twist first battle for the New Year file. "Donkey Got Water" still maintains a Douban rating of 8.3, and the quality of this "Half a Comedy" is definitely guaranteed.
At present, the rating of "Half a Comedy" on Douban is also as high as 7.7 points, which is not disappointing at all. "Half a Comedy" not only maintains the universal "laugh point" of happy twist movies, but also continues the discussion of the "bottom line" of the movie "Donkey Got Water", which is not an embarrassing comedy, which may be one of the reasons why this movie has gained such a good reputation.
Although "Half a Comedy" is a romantic comedy, it does not have such clichés and unrealistic things as overbearing presidents, car accidents, cancer, and amnesia, but is based on reality, focusing on the real life conditions of young people at present, and deducing the contemporary "North Drift" record of hukou, house, ideals and love.
Remember that in "Do Not Disturb 2", the dying rich man Li Xiangshan had an impressive passage in which he hoped for his daughter: "When you grow up, you don't want to do anything." "At that time, I was still young, and I felt that this sentence was not wrong, I should do whatever I wanted." Now I understand that the rich man is right.
The three characters in Half a Comedy each show a different state of this sentence. Rich second generation Zheng Duoduo, the father is an entrepreneur, this is the standard "want to do what you want to do" young people, the house car does not have to consider, but also feel that the house is lonely, by the way to take care of college classmates to live together.
Girlfriends and P-friends are there, and even all the girls who have been worried about them are toyed with before marriage. However, on the way to do whatever he wants, he encounters Momo, a hard stone that likes "no". Momo, played by Ren Suxi, does not lie, is not sleek, and does not love blind dates. On the surface, Zheng Duoduo's uninhibited life seems to be very free, but Momo, who can say "no" to his boss, has a higher level of freedom.
As for the problems sun Tong faces, it is easy to say clearly, but it is a big mountain, and it is also the problem faced by many "foreigners" who have wandered to big cities - houses, hukou, and work. Either choose to be a lifelong ally with Zheng Duoduo, a classmate with a job and a hukou, or choose Momo, a Beijing girl who may not be able to get married, which also creates Sun Tong to belong to the category of people who can only say "yes".
Momo has a saying: Sun Tong's future value can only be driven by a lifetime of loyalty, like a dog. This passage is very heartfelt, but it is extremely realistic, and because of this, Momo intends to save Sun Tong.
With the support of "No Girl", the loyal foreigner Sun Tong bravely said no to the once unchallengable Zheng Duoduo, and finally won the victory. However, this victory may belong to Momo, because Sun Tong can only say "yes" in front of her.
It's ironic to think about it, but isn't this a true reflection of today's society? Isn't it a real problem that many young people face? The first half of the film is constantly funny, and the second half pokes people's hearts, which is indeed "half a comedy". The whole movie reveals a kind of "I understand you", I believe it can cure the loneliness and entanglement of many "foreigners".
At present, this "Half a Comedy" is being screened, whether you want to understand different views of love or want to seek empathy in a foreign land, this movie is very worth watching.
