There is no doubt that it is a great movie! First, as an absurd comedy, it is absurd and funny; then the celebrity is cute and cute enough, and the beloved queen Katharine also has such a charming look, and the voice is still awkward (!); then the plot is compact and full of tension. , The editing is compact but there is no extra cut, the dialogue is rich but there is no extra line, the technique of this film is too mature, the ripe and fragrant, it is almost ripe like an apple!
Today, when I was walking in the heavy snow, I was thinking about how to shoot a comedy. Nowadays, people making comedies, whether they are made in China or Hollywood, are too lazy. They think that they will bring over the routines and bridges they are used to, and invite some comedians with interesting faces or exaggerated limbs, and they will be popular. Beauty, read a few witty lines, come together with meat and vegetables, make some exaggerated moves, and talk about the philosophy of life, so small that you are self-cultivation and family (he is just not that into you), It’s so big that it can be used to rule the country and the world (some of Jackie Chan’s movies).
When I saw Bringing up baby on Baidu, the director felt that making comedy films and making adventure films are actually the same. They both create a steady stream of drama conflicts. Simply put, one wave of unrest rises one after another, maintaining a tense atmosphere. The difference is The dramatic tension of adventure films comes from danger, and the tension of urban comedy films often comes from the embarrassment and tension in life. I deeply agree with this. Thinking about it carefully, all successful commercial films have strong and long dramatic tension in the plot. , And the plot to create and maintain this tension satisfies the time, logic, and emotional rationality and ingenuity.
This year’s relatively successful comedy, Tai Tiao, has done a good job in this regard: preaching and dog-blood, although there are a lot of the same, but not too much; although part of the plot is inevitably procrastinated, the main part of the film is still strong, smooth and smooth. The long funny tension and the interspersed plot are not too illogical. The overall film is of course not as wise and complete as bringing up baby, but as a new year film, it can be seen that Xu Zheng, who directed the film for the first time, has seriously figured out a way to make the audience laugh and laugh in the theater. , And in fact, I really laughed and laughed until I got a terrible stomachache, and then I lied on the back of the chair and laughed. So he should earn a lot of money, when other filmmakers want to lie down and collect money.
So making a movie is really not an easy task, especially commercial movies that are aimed at pleasing the audience. A short 100-minute movie needs to be piled up with rare and ingenious inspirations and ideas one after another. The audience today is so pitiful, no filmmaker is willing to rack his brains to please us!
