"Lucky Charm": a movie that you don't have to take your brain to watch

First of all, I want to make two confessions: First, for a nymph who loves the new and never tires of the old, I must pay for the film of Zac Efron to watch. Second, for such a film that will forget the plot when stepping out of the movie theater, the reason I wrote a film review is because the two women who were dragged to watch the movie strongly appealed: "Write a Tucao essay and see it!" It’s the kind that is literary and compelling!”-So, ahem, you will read a bad film review full of grooves and split personality. If you have any discomfort during the viewing process, please click the red cross in the upper right corner. Fork ~


The summary of the plot of the literary version is this: On the battlefield of the war in Iraq, the soldier Logan found a photo of a woman-this photo seems to bless him from one disaster after another. At the end of the war, he returned to his hometown with a tired soul and began to fulfill the promise he made to himself: If he can return from the battlefield, he will find the woman who saved his life. In the bright sunshine of Hanton, he met her for the first time, Beth, a single mother who runs a dog training camp. By mistake, he started working here and brought a lot of joy to Beth’s son Ben, healed the wounds that his brother who died in the Iraq war brought to Beth’s heart, and made her strong and out of the shadow of her ex-husband. threat.

The plot summary of the second version is as follows: In order to play a soldier who returned from the battlefield in Iraq, Zach not only exercised himself to be strong like a cow, but also grew a beard and shaved his head. Walked from Louisiana to Hanton to strike up a conversation with a woman-although I think she was a normal figure and a normal figure-and then stayed cheeky as a helper. Then I waited and waited and waited, and finally waited until the kissing scene-well, Zach is really short...-and then waited and waited and waited, finally waited for the passion scene-um, fortunately The director has not let us down, the lens is so light and good, and the girls are very satisfied~

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that this is Zac's deliberate transformation (this kid has been clamoring for transformation for several years...), and it is not convincing to say that this is his "most challenging" role (oh... .It can only be said that the child’s previous roles are too unchallenging...), saying that this is Zac’s first challenge to the sex scene also implies a publicity gimmick (please, there is nothing beautiful except this...), In short, for me personally, Zach’s performance is not satisfactory, and it’s pretty good. Although that little face is fat and still intact, the more challenging part is that you can never see Xiao Zha in almost the whole film. In "High School Musical", the charming smile that made the whole world shine brightly, the bitter and expressionless face turned into his signature, his eyes were deep and melancholy-this is really a test of acting skills.

What else can I say about this film... I think about it... Ah, I must say, the picture is still very beautiful! In order to show off the intoxicating sunset that filled the entire screen, the director often shook a backlit lens over it. The light that leaked was really stroboscopic and blinded our dog's eyes. The shooting location is in the vast and quiet American suburbs, and it looks very comfortable, idyllic and beautiful.

Theme, finally comes to the theme. In addition to the original author Nicholas Sparks's "transfer of perspective to overseas", describing the lives of young people in the Iraq war (he had begun to pay attention to such subjects when the "Break Up Letter"), I think it is more academic , This film focuses more on the lives of young people after the war in Iraq: they do not have a high level of education, and they have to endure the trauma of the soul caused by the war. This can be regarded as an expression of anti-war. Moreover, the sense of fatalism and the contingency of fate make people unwilling to accept it, but to some extent it is a fact.

The last complaint is the ending. Why did he arrange for Ben's father to die? Although he is a bastard, yes, wouldn’t Logan leave more shadows in his heart this way...If I shoot, let Logan die, this ending is only beautiful, isn’t it? (Tomato , Eggs, slabs flying)



So... that's it. Let me end this bad film review with Rotten Tomatoes reviews about this film: "All in all, it is very Nicholas Sparks." Yes, if you like "Notebook of Love" and "Break Up Letter", I believe you will also like it.

The beautiful scenery full of the sunset + the handsome face of Zac Efron + the passionate drama with a lot of length, these are all the highlights of my personal summary. If you don’t see it, let’s take whatever you like with turnips and vegetables~

    It's also looking for a new life Zac. At first glance, it reminds me of ZOO, but if you look closely, it's really not as good as the plot. It focuses on relationship more than family bond, and it's unclear and unclear, and then because the heroine inexplicably cracked the behavior of the back ex They are also very embarrassed and the cutest dogs basically have no role in the second half. OTL hope he can find a better script in the lower part...

    The ending seems too rushed
