No Strings Attached (no return) 2011

This is a very new movie , There is no way, if you watch too many old movies, you have to change your taste. This time, I chose a movie from 2011, which is nearly 70 years away from the "Double Insurance" I just watched, which is a big gap.

The story of this movie is the second movie I've ever seen about "friends with guns get married", that is, go to bed first, then fall in love. The first was 2010's "Love and Elixir," which had roughly the same story mode as this one, but with a different style and theme. The story of this film is completely a romantic comedy. There is no deep theme, no heavy background, only simple love. The process of watching the film is very pleasant.

The film tells the story of a good man who meets a woman who is afraid of falling in love for some unknown reason. This woman and this man became a pair of gun buddies. After formulating some rules, they began to shoot according to the rules. But people have feelings after all. The man broke the rules and fell in love with this woman, but the woman escaped, and the two couldn't even make friends. After a period of time, the woman who watched her sister get married finally realized the loneliness and went to find her original friend, and the two finally got married. In one sentence: go to bed first, then fall in love.

The structure and plot trend of the whole movie is completely a big cliché, a typical happyend ending, you can guess the ending without even thinking about it. However, I was very happy watching the film, because the director made some details hilarious, and it was very, very unexpected. For example, in Emma's house at the beginning, Adam's overwhelmed appearance, Emma's roommate's jokes on him, and the state of Emma and Adam when they first slept, amused me, never filmed like this; Emma's black female roommate , shouting "We are prostitutes" and "Let men fuck us" in the corridor of the hospital, this is the post-80s woman, it is so direct; when Emma and her roommate are menstruating, the album produced by Adam is even more spoof, What about "bleeding for love", "slowly flowing out", etc., it's so appropriate, I really don't know how the writers and directors came up with it; at the end of the film, the male doctor who wants to pursue Emma, ​​turned out to be gay, which made me laugh a lot. . Like these hilarious bridges, there are many more in the film, the process of watching is really happy!

Apart from the humorous plot, the film has nothing to highlight. Of course, there are still "romantic" scenes that should be found in romantic movies. For example, the walk in front of the museum, the dialogue in the moonlight at the beginning, etc., are just not as good as other romance movies. In addition, the only thing I like about this film is that it is close to modern life. Mobile phones, the Internet, Google maps, etc. are all included in the film, which will not make me feel out of touch with the times.

The gimmick of this movie is "restricted level", which is actually a lie. No matter men or women, they don't show at all, only Ashton Kutcher shows his face. If there is "restricted" content, it is only the content of the movie. This film realistically reflects the concept of love and sexuality between men and women born in the 1980s. Friends, one-night stands, these have become accustomed to their lives. Even love is born in bed. The same is true in lifestyle, treating going to bed as eating and sleeping. Sex has nothing to do with morality, this is the typical way of life for the post-80s. Therefore, there are hilarious plots and funny dialogues in the film. Aside from the surface of the film, the purpose of the director is to show the real life of men and women born in the 1980s. He did this, and he did it quite well.

Finally, let's talk about actors. The male lead, Ashton Kutcher, is a handsome man, but his shooting standards are not high, and he has always been famous for his bad films. There are acting skills, but his face is better than his acting skills. Actress Natalie Portman, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress, is quite popular right now. Her performance in this film is still very happy. A good actor can not only act in drama, but also in comedy. It can be seen from this film that Natalie Portman's Oscar is not a waste of time. The other actors belong to the supporting roles, so I won't talk about them if they are not familiar with them.

In a nutshell, it's a cliché love story, but the humorous and funny scenes in the film are very worth watching. However, if you want to watch "Rated" content, you will be disappointed.
