Shameful waste - "Reverse World" movie diary

In fact, this year, I planned not to watch those non-blockbusters in the cinema, but I was dragged by the ACG otaku to watch it. After reading it, there is only one feeling - wow, such a wonderful idea was wasted! shameful!
The author has played some games, and the special effects of this film can be said to be rotten. In a scene of a holy mountain, except for the close-up mountain, which was made by computer, the background is an extremely blurred texture. If this scene is placed in the game, only a very small cost independent game will have such an effect. No big production with a little brains will cut corners like this.
Well, for the brilliant idea, I still bite the bullet and finish the movie.
It can be described as follows: The first half of the film is actually very thoughtful. The director tries his best to depict a dualistic world that is upside down and upside down, and these two worlds represent two opposite classes in society. The upper world represents the upper class, and the lower society represents the lower class. However, the director did not simply express the contradiction between the upper and lower classes. He also set up a transformation layer to connect the worlds of the two levels. The exploitation of the lower world also mainly comes from the transformation layer. Although this may be suspected of justifying the upper class, but if you think about it carefully, the exploitation of the lower class does come from the middle class. The middle-class society turns the contradiction to the upper-class society and they can continue to exploit with impunity.
Let's talk about the movie anyway. The director created the hero and heroine under such a setting. The male protagonist is from the lower world, and the female protagonist is from the upper world. These two people who can't fight with each other, but have a forbidden love that is not allowed in the upper and lower worlds. The director designed a plot in which the hero and heroine were found in a meeting ten years ago, which caused the heroine to lose her memory, and the two were forced to separate for ten years. Then, ten years later, the male protagonist found out on TV that the female protagonist was working for the middle-class world, so the male protagonist also entered the middle-class world to work and approached the female protagonist through various means and found that she had amnesia, so she restored her memory in various ways. . The film is over half way here, and the plot setting is relatively reasonable.
However, it is also here that the director's three axes are completely used up. So the movie completely fell into the stereotype of love idol drama. The difficulties suddenly disappeared, the heroine suddenly regained her memory, and the feelings of the two were soaring. All obstacles have disappeared, all kinds of favorable factors have appeared one after another, and the prohibition is no longer. The plot that I thought would always be more tragic suddenly brightened up, as if the two halves of the movie were not shot by one person. Originally, the plot was constantly tightening, and the relationship between the protagonists would experience many obstacles, and they suddenly let go at the climax of the finale, letting the audience breathe a sigh of relief. But the fact is that there is no more tension in the middle of the plot, and then even the climax disappears.
Summary: "Reverse the World" has a good idea. If it is made into a genre film, it must be extremely brilliant. The setting of the "upper and lower world" in the film has the characteristics of centralization and revolution. If it is made into a comedy, the plots and plots of the body on fire, the urine flying up, and the hero's moths flying into the flames can also create countless jokes. It's a pity that the director of this film used this good theme to make a movie that is out of tune. If the business can't go on, the literature and art can't develop, and in the end, he becomes Liu Adou who can't support the wall.
