Make excuses for Huaxin

One sentence comment: I don’t know which is more ridiculous: is it a couple who got married hastily, or is it an innocent third party who thinks they have found true love?

This film is a remake of an old movie of the same name, which satirizes the sloppy treatment of marriage by young people at that time. However, it is an invincible ending of the old-fashioned true love. In the original work, the contradictions of marriage and the mutual love between the hero and the heroine are transformed into innocent feelings, which are not corroded by money. Under the director's vicious idea, the film finally turned Eddie played by Ben Stiller into a bad luck.

It is still a hasty marriage, which makes people wonder that Eddie, who may be cautious about vows and promises at the beginning of the film, is the correct attitude towards marriage, and he himself is only affected by the surrounding atmosphere. My girlfriend who had been together for five years married someone else, and my friends and dad urged me to enter the church quickly. However, in fact, there is no happy family around him. Friend Mac is a typical strict wife. He lives under his wife’s high-pressure policy and enjoys it. Although his father was also married, his tone seemed to last only ten years. After eight years, I basically used Las Vegas as my hometown, chasing after the big girls. Unfortunately, Eddie could only take advice from them, as if he wanted to marry to save his boring life without a sister. So Lightning got married and honeymooned, and gradually discovered that there are still so many places that are not suitable for the newlyweds. In fact, he doesn't know anything about this "comrade-in-arms" who sleeps in the same bed. Obviously, this plan of trying to save life didn't go very well, but it put myself in an even more embarrassing situation.

People are best at looking for the light of hope when they are desperate. Finding a true love is a way to save yourself from an embarrassing situation. So a beauty appeared, a soulmate, a person who could make him find what he had lost. In this way, he fell in love. The comedy has just begun, and the characters deal with lies and misunderstandings, regrets and helplessness. Dealing with various situations, trying to protect this tenderness, trying to enjoy this unforgettable tenderness. However, the contradiction occurred in one scene, and many clues were gathered together. In broad daylight, everyone's eyes were in full view. All the truth broke out on the seaside square, and after the climax, the characters fell. Is the frustrated performance of the protagonist Eddie a proof of love? It's hard to say, because the end leaves endless reveries. This film makes people have to think about the "True Son" the Has one ever existed, and whether it will really exist. How should Plato's classic love question be answered? How can we be sure that the grain of wheat in our hands is the most perfect? Even if "perfect" is an evaluation and feeling in my heart. Human beings are so fickle, and their emotions are so unstable. Sometimes, excessive secretion of hormones can influence or even replace our brains in making judgments about behavior. God, this delicate instrument, makes it impossible for us to distinguish between what is physical and what is psychological. Before we experience all the possibilities, our decision is so fragile. Eddie has feelings for his wife Lila, otherwise he would not decide to marry her. And the film transfers the question of marriage to question the bride. It seems that the sloppy marriage is not because of sloppy temperament, but because of the lack of mutual understanding. During the time together, Eddie didn’t even know whether Lila had a job. Whether or not they used drugs in the past, it is not even clear whether the sex lives of two people will be harmonious. When he felt that his wife suddenly lost his temper and turned into a monster, he never thought of the time when they were kissing all the time a few months ago. Is that love? Eddie has feelings for Miranda. They play together on the beach, have fun together, joke and chat with her family, and even smoke marijuana together on the beach. Basically Eddie has regained the feeling he felt when he was not married. Did it feel like being in love at that time? When Eddie explained all previous absurd practices to Miranda's family, he specifically explained that he would not make too sloppy mistakes. He hoped to get along with Miranda slowly, live together for a while, and then look at the situation to determine the future direction; and with Miranda. When he confessed, he only explained his apologies and feelings for Miranda, but did not say whether it was love. When we believed that Eddie had cleared his own path in life, we saw him return to Mexico's seaside and started a small business, which seemed easy and free. We know that this relationship made him understand something and pointed him the direction of life. So when Miranda appeared in front of him, it might be the time when he really started his love life. Actually otherwise, when Miranda came to see Eddie again because of his divorce, Eddie had been married for a year. The director made a heartbreaking joke to us, but it's not over yet. Eddie regained the nonsense that he said before the honeymoon theory to his anniversary wife: "It may have been very upset, but it is still a good thing in the long run." Then he decided to go to the appointment happily.

The director's arrangement is undoubtedly a joke, and it shows that Eddie has returned to the awkward situation he was a year ago. Then this joke can't be so simple to just laugh at it. One year of marriage and three days of honeymoon are not the same, the difference is too big.

Ben Stiller's performance in this film reminds him of his feelings in "Meeting Polly", unlike the mania he has in many movies of his own home, but turned to a mentally unlucky image, which is similar to the "supermodel" "Or "Crazy Dodgeball" feels very different. Perhaps the reason why people are getting old and can't afford to toss them may also be because they have really started acting, so they have reduced their skills in pretending to be crazy. As for Lila's actor, Malin Akerman, the general evaluation is good, thinking that it is an interpretation of a basically normal neurotic woman. I feel that in addition to the bold sex scenes and various nauseating physical defects, Malin Akerman's performance elements are still very limited. Basically, the establishment of this character is based on more plot elements, but the actual performance of the image is established. Relatively small. In any case, Malin Akerman is still a relatively promising actor. For this kind of plot and scene, it takes a certain amount of courage to get it done. This woman has great achievements!

As for the director and screenwriter, some elements of the original film are still retained, but they tell a different story, which is the essence of the remake. Basically, two films can really be viewed as two films, and the two films have to be compared to look interesting and meaningful. This is something that many similar remakes can't do. For example, "Phoenix Tribulation" and the like. . . Personally, I think the ending setting is a bit too dark and humorous, and not very suitable for the relaxed comedy atmosphere, but it brings endless thinking, which is not harmless. It's just that I didn't hope that watching a film like this could get that kind of result, and I felt it was very innovative.

Nevertheless, the film is not up to the level of watching and watching. It is suitable for watching it in the theater, having fun on the spot, going home and thinking about it, and then put your head to sleep.
