Cute and charming villain

I suddenly wondered the difference between a documentary and a feature film. Aren't they all telling stories?

"The Birth of a Bad Movie" is the main feature of the film. The whole is well organized and the structure is complete. It can be roughly divided into three stages: the multi-character interview at the beginning arouses curiosity, the middle is the way to restore the story in a movie, and the film comparison at the end directly pushes the effect to the peak. Among them, "natural" is my biggest feeling: I don't think it is abrupt, but I think what I want, and I handle it very well.

If the film expression is divided into content and method, then the "natural" just mentioned is a summary of the expression method. The content is based on true events. So choosing the right story is equivalent to half the success?


Reminds me of documentaries. It was just this opportunity to clarify the context of the two.

Documentary is a film or television art form that takes real life as the creative material, takes real people as the object of expression, and performs artistic processing and presentation on it. The core of documentaries is truth. The birth of film began with the creation of documentaries.

There is really no clear line between documentaries and feature films. Meticulous categorization can help beginner creators find targets and is a quick way for audiences to build expectations. This kind of real thing performed can also be hidden behind the "feature film", with more creative intentions to choose and present.


The story is true, the right choice! For a bad movie, besides laughing, scolding, and giving one star, it turns out that you can do more: find and reproduce its birth record. After the impulsive venting behavior is over, you can calm down and slowly put a question mark: Why is this happening?

This video provides very lovely answers.

Director Tommy was absolutely hated on the set, repeating hundreds of times in a scene where the lines were too simple, brutally humiliating and attacking actresses... Even friend requests were not accommodating. The "completely unnecessary multiple-choice question" was clearly the trick he used to verify his sincerity.

But he exuded a radiance that was hard to hide.

He's mysterious and weird, doesn't care about anyone, and repeatedly forbids questions. The stories are hidden in the purple light emanating from him.

His fanatical pursuit and pretentiousness are just "It doesn't work" in the eyes of others. Tommy, who thought he had ignored the rules of society for a long time, finally realized the powerlessness of reality. A melancholy blue light covered his drooping eyelids.

"We can make our own movies", Tommy was indeed a brilliant person when he was hit by an idea in the backlight.

All in all, his authenticity is the greatest charm, which comes from having no interest in knowing "how good people in society behave". He has pure and blunt ambitions, cherishes the power of friendship, and dares to paint and realize beautiful visions. God knows how these qualities are shaped like a colorful bomb thrown in this world of orderly black and white.

All kinds of speechless behaviors, the collection turned out to be such a comic effect. A person ignores the rules and experience and completes a thing "full of routines and methods" according to his own ideas, will it make people laugh? Waiting for the sneering mentality of watching a good show, unconventional and surprising behavior comes with its own laughs... Or try something deeper: help people take a breather in a society that is judged by clear standards. God, this is actually a movie, and this person is still alive today. Hahaha, it's funny just thinking about it.

It's all based on the fact that he's just going after his own goals, with no intentions or actions to hurt anyone, and he's fully responsible for it (it's just a pain in the wallet).

As expected of a cute and charming "villain".


In addition, there are some small highlights of the expression of the film.

A group of colorful cars flashed quickly, but it was so handsome! Already hinting at Tommy's "extreme luxury".

The decision to make the movie, the completion of the script, and the opening speech all emphasised the character's charm.

The soft backlight symbolizes the transition from depression to inspiration

The medium shot here is like a third party witnessing a lovely friendship

Thanks, let me have a "cultural joke". It's so funny!

    A little man with a talent that does not match his ideals. With the crazy fantasy and execution of the "American Dream", he made a terrible movie that was ridiculed by everyone, and unexpectedly became famous. He became a cult star by taking advantage of the trend. This is true for him. His ideal pursuit runs counter to him. Behind the irrational carnival is clearly his personal tragedy. Why is it rudely packaged into an inspirational comedy? Where is the inspiration? ? ?

    Facts have proved that either being the best or the worst can make a name for itself in film history. This film is as toxic as the original, and by the final comparison, the original Tommy feels more toxic and paranoid. After reading the biggest question or where does the money come from?
