wasting film

There is a kind of woman who not only wants the years to be peaceful and stable in the world, but also needs to be in a turbulent and turbulent life. They mostly regard all this as the reason why the world is cold, but in fact they just don't know it because of love. People with discerning eyes can call it "green tea bitch", but I like to call it "killer". If a movie can be personified, then obviously "Pricked Scrotum" ←_← is such a movie. Using the propaganda model of a commercial film, it made a strong entry into the theaters, but unfortunately failed miserably. Then, it advertised itself as an "art film" in the voices of doubts from the masses. It seems that because "Pinch the Scrotum" is an art film, everything can be explained, and the masses are lost. Qualifications for this film. It can be seen from this that, in fact, commercial art films also have something in common, that is, they are equally shameless. I've never heard that the realization of art is done at the expense of perception and narrative, and if you don't do both well, it's not good. However, there's always a group of people who feel like you've raped his aesthetic by saying anything about the film's flaws, and defend it like a mad dog, usually one of the following:
It's hard to bend, I feel that no one else understands it, only I understand it. For this type of people, I can only tell you that your mother is dead, don't tell me she is alive, she is dead, you just don't understand. God knows how someone can think that a person with cerebral palsy can understand things that can be understood with their knees only by themselves. Besides, now is really not the era when you can just watch a few uncommon movies and pretend to be forceful.
Difficult to vomit, the script party, the peripheral information party, the director's resume party, etc. These types of people usually think that when you watch a movie, it is best to read the director's family tree at the same time. In the future, movies will be released three hours in advance so that moviegoers can learn more about the movie and understand the impact of the director's past understanding of the location of their ancestral graves on his creative motivation. After the research is over, a question arises spontaneously: Then we still watch movies to make an egg?
Difficult to break, professional party. They talked about the film's breakthrough in traditional film language, the blank space, and the loneliness created by the minimalist approach. From this point of view, I can rationally say that this movie is of course not worthless, and its advantages lie in the above-mentioned. It is good to have the courage to experiment, but the results of the experiment are not very ideal. This is understandable, after all, so many directors have difficulty even selling this step, which cannot be regarded as a reason to tolerate the problems of the film itself. Especially the so-called "minimal simplification", putting the cart before the horse. And this "blank" makes people laugh and cry. Brother, you have to be reasonable in art, and the blank is not like this. And casually looking through the film reviews, more than 70% of the people who praise it are talking about the beauty of clothing and architecture, which is beautiful in my opinion, but unfortunately it is not beautiful enough to fill the core of the characters' idling. Everything looked like the old Taoist nun who tried her best to pretend to be immortal, but she had a look of comfort and nowhere to sit and suck soil. tedious.
In general, there are bright spots but the excesses outweigh the merits. It seems to be full of sincerity, but it is half-hearted, with details but not delicate, no craftsmanship but even less spiritual. If you insist that he is an art film, it is a pity that he is a mediocre work in art films. If you want to say that he is a commercial film, he is embarrassed. He is simply a shame for commercial films. The title subtitles, from the font design to the content and the way, are far from the topic, and they don't match the charm of the whole movie. At the beginning, the classical dialogue that I was looking forward to in the publicity actually seemed so stupid that it exploded. Every time Shu Qi opened his mouth, it would remind me of "Infernal Affairs", what about "Infernal Affairs"? Thinking of the phrase "cuffed up" that Chen Daoming said to Andy Lau in the third part, this induced my chronic embarrassment, but what's even more amazing is that no one handcuffed Andy Lau, at this time I can only describe: my Chronic embarrassment had an acute attack.
Another interesting thing is that I don't know why this movie blows up all the people in the whole mainland who like to pretend to be forceful. For these people, don't you like art and pretend to be forceful? Come on darlings, let me tell you how this movie should be made: don't you like fixed shots? Each fixed lens is ten times longer, don't you like long shots? Every vision is ten times further away! This is how the world is. When you are a good person, you must be good, and when you play dirty, you must be completely dirty. Since you want to engage in art, you have to do it thoroughly. If you don't create it, how do you face the elders of Jiangdong? What is the crux of the film's failure? It's very simple. You can only watch this film after shooting for more than eight hours. The 107-minute duration is like a slender thong. How can you fit such a shocking force?

    3.5 While retaining the inherent aesthetic generation mechanism and trying his best to create a situational space for imagining the Tang Dynasty, Hou encountered an unprecedented predicament: the actor played the role under conditions that were quite different from the role. Action scenes that inevitably have to be presented positively are also very common. In this way, the whole situation is only relatively accurate/inaccurate, and the world like "Southern Kingdom" and "Flowers on the Sea" full of life impulse energy no longer exists.

    It's a mess of beauty, restrained and calm, silent, alienated, gorgeous, lonely, and the atmosphere is impeccable and cologne. But you don't know what he said
