This movie is only suitable for young children to watch, and children who are young enough to not go to primary school to watch. Children and adults with a little common sense will find all kinds of loopholes and unreasonableness, as well as the awkward feeling of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. So, write down your real viewing experience.
1. The story is a typical western adventure story, with the bones of the West and the skin of China. I think it might be smoother if the protagonist were changed to a Western child, came to China to meet the snowman, and sent the snowman home. After all, the characters of the protagonist's three children are too western. The character of Chinese children, if you look at it, it is not like this. I can't tell what the difference is. I feel that the three children are like children born in the United States and raised in the United States, but they only have Chinese faces.
2. The decoration of the little girl's house, I don't know if you have noticed the green refrigerator. It is an old refrigerator in the 1980s and 1990s. Now ordinary families in big cities can't see such refrigerators. I feel that foreigners came to China in the 1990s, and now they still have the same impression of Chinese families. Maybe after China's development, they have only seen reports about China in the news, and have never really seen a modern Chinese family.
3. Today's grandmother not only steams buns at home, but also cooks a lot of delicious food. As if foreigners only like to eat steamed buns, only grandma makes steamed buns. Come on, Chinese families don't eat buns, there are many other delicacies. In addition, Chinese grandmothers do not do housework at home every day now, and Chinese grandmothers are not that fat. That is the image of American grandmothers. Chinese grandma goes to square dance every day, Chinese grandma is also very fashionable. In 2019, please write a grandma that fits the characteristics of the times, or it will feel very incongruous. There are modern Chinese high-rise buildings outside, and the home is in the 1990s.
4. China does not allow such young children to work. Such a young child can work part-time and earn pocket money in the United States, but it is impossible in China. The Chinese boss will not use it, nor dare to use it. This is child labor, which is written into the constitution. Once found, it will be convicted. The city is very strict.
5. The wages of part-time workers in China's big cities are not so low, only 5 yuan and 10 yuan at a time? impossible. In such a developed city, if you don't earn one or two hundred odd jobs a day, someone will do it for you? Even if it is an hourly worker, you can calculate how much the hourly worker in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is. Besides, it is impossible for such a young child to find a job, and the plot design is unreasonable. In China, children make money, they can do homework for their classmates to make money, and they can make money live on Douyin, which is different from the way American children make money. Children are not allowed in the kitchen.
6. There are high-rise buildings inside and outside the film, and smartphones can be seen everywhere. Why pay in cash? It feels very incongruous. In daily life in the city, only the elderly still use cash, and children have mobile phones, and it is even more impossible to use cash. Children will use Alipay and WeChat to buy things. Moreover, when the boss settles the wages for the workers, he always sends red envelopes or transfers with Alipay or bank cards. It is no longer visible to pay in cash, even for odd jobs.
7. The bad guys use armored vehicles and helicopters to search for snowmen in the city at will, and they are also equipped with high-lethal weapons, which will not appear in Chinese cities, but only in the United States. This plot is designed very, very unreasonably. In China, have you ever seen people who were arrested and shot directly with weapons in the sky? Moreover, the animals so cherished by the snowman will only be offered up in China. Like giant pandas, laws are established to protect them and the whole people will love them. Like in the film, the snowman is arrested privately for research, and the whole country will investigate, felony, rescue, and protective research. If the snowman escapes to the world, the state will issue an announcement and broadcast it all over the media, so that everyone is alert to the danger of the snowman, introduces the characteristics of the snowman, and the whole people look for clues. Please read more Chinese news and see what China did when the gorilla escaped and the leopard escaped.
8. The battery life of the boy's mobile phone is too strong. It is impossible to have electricity for so many days. There is still a network in the uninhabited area of the mountains, which is more difficult to achieve in reality.
9. The boy can exchange a mobile phone for a boat, which is only possible in remote mountainous areas and sparsely populated places. In a small town, people are not so stupid. You can buy a mobile phone for a few hundred yuan. Can it be compared with the value of a boat? Can ordinary people know the value of mobile phones and the value of ships? There are so many people in the town, and the business is so prosperous. It is easy to buy mobile phones. There are many mobile phone stores in China, and things like movies will not happen.
10. Talk about a good place, the snowman's ability is good, the scenery is good, and the picture is beautiful. Fighting wits with bad guys is very exciting.
Give some advice to foreigners who want to make money in China and make Chinese films, please learn more about China. Otherwise, the film will not be suitable for the soil and water, and it will not stand up to scrutiny. Chinese children are not fools, they can see that too.
