brief introduction:
In this drama, the content of "Fake God", the anchor Evan moved to the political arena he expected to become a member of Congress and moved into a big mansion with his wife and three children. But he received inexplicable couriers one after another, sending large quantities of wood and construction tools, and God appeared in front of him and asked him to build a huge ark before September 22. He didn't believe in God at first, but after a series of miracles, he had to accept this task. His wife left with three children in disappointment, but after being enlightened by God, he returned to Evan to help him build the ark , many pairs of animals came from all directions to help them build.
Finally, on September 22, countless people gathered in front of the ark to watch jokes, and some police came to forcibly demolish the ark. Suddenly, the dam burst and the flood flooded. People rushed to the ark to take refuge, and the flood carried the ark all the way to the front of the Congress.
It turned out that a bill that Evan once participated in and supported was to destroy the natural environment of the park for profit. In this way, God warned people to fear nature and pay attention to environmental protection. The bill was ultimately rejected. After this incident, the Evan family lived a closer and happier life together. They experienced hardships together and gave their family support and trust.
The following brief review:
Originally, I wanted to write a review of "Fake God", but I stumbled upon this sequel, so I had a quick look, and then I wrote this first. In one sentence, I can only say that it is not satisfactory, compared to the previous one. If the previous one could score a 9, this one is a good 7.
First of all, this film is intended to be natural and environmentally friendly. This theme should be generally understood and accepted by the audience and supported by sympathy. Therefore, there is not much room for deep reflection, but the values that are too straightforward and flattering are not easy to stand out. For the sake of safety Just giving a passing score.
Secondly, in the last movie, the male protagonist is a dog lover, but in this one, he hates dogs at the beginning. There is no reason for this change, it seems that he accepts the artificial twists and turns created by dogs in the end. At first, the male protagonist was obsessed with fame, fortune and success. After putting on the ragged robe given by God, he quickly adapted to his role as "Noah", built the ark earnestly and diligently, and believed in God's arrangement without any transition. There is no process and no reason.
Again, the way God took Evan was basically overbearing. If he really existed and was very capable, why didn't he appear directly in front of the President of the United States, wouldn't it be easier? What kind of ark is still being built, just move it to the high ground in advance. His approach to Evan is more like preaching than saving people, that is, to make people like Evan who pursue fame and fortune and pray carelessly be admonished and become devout believers.
And the plot is relatively simple, and the plots of God playing with Evan are even more far-fetched and meaningless. There is a sense of supremacy of turning one's hand into a cloud and covering one's hand as rain, everything is in the palm of his hand, and little people have no other way to go except to obey.
The film has changed the starring role, which has reduced the color of the film a lot. It is said that the stars of the previous film, Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston, refused to continue their roles in " Fake God " at the same time, and the successor actors despite their hard work, But there is no way to balance the flaws of the script. It is said that the budget of the film exceeds that of "Titanic", but it is obviously different from "Titanic" in any way.
But this film also has a few small highlights. First of all, of course, the general direction of the environmental protection theme is no problem, arousing more people to pay attention to nature protection. The second is to emphasize the trust and support between family members, not only love, but also family, which can be regarded as the core values of American movies. Once again, the film has a new interpretation of Noah's Ark, which is a bit like what we Chinese say every day to do good deeds, or do not do good for small things, and do not do evil for small things. If everyone releases a little more kindness and tolerance towards this world, the ark between human beings and the earth creatures will be more stable and stronger.
Perhaps for Chinese audiences, the mission of God itself is relatively unattractive, but family cohesion and good deeds are widely accepted. The cohesion of a family comes from mutual trust and support, which is worthy of our deep consideration and discussion, and doing a good deed every day is more in line with the needs of the current social environment. The flood that I understand is not caused by the bursting dam, but the loneliness and confusion in the middle of life, the compromise of values, including the crisis in the relationship between people, and the loss of social morality. The ark I understand is that we know each other. Human nature accepts human nature, and at the same time understands that what can create a better life is not to board the ark built by others, but to add a plank and a nail to the ark, and we must guard our common beliefs, values, and consensus. No more worrying about gutter oil when ordering takeout, no longer worrying about big heads when drinking milk powder, no more worrying about pesticide residues when eating green vegetables, no more severe smog when the window is opened, someone who falls down is helped immediately, and poor people can live in food and clothing. If the two opposing sides can lay down their weapons, that is our common ark.
