How to evaluate the film Human Comedy?

For me, generally speaking, a film has depth, which is beneficial for us to write film reviews. What is depth?

The acting is deep and the plot is deep. As long as there is one of them, there is a "point" that we cut into.

I used to think that "Human Comedy" should be an excellent work that can satisfy both.

Pan Da+Allen+Yam Tat-wah+Jin Shijie, the lineup is luxurious.

Middle-aged people+daily necessities+old people come to beg for children, which is very gimmicky.

Unfortunately, it suddenly collapsed, but it felt just right. The progress of China's films requires not only the birth of high-quality works, but also the withdrawal of purely commercial inferior works. On the other hand, it is also a blessing to wake Allen up with a stick so that he can concentrate on the creation and performance of the stage play.

Before the release of "Human Comedy", all kinds of publicity, at least my appetite is full, looking forward to, excited. After all, just watching the movie title and story introduction makes people look forward to it. The distress and misery we are familiar with in life can be seen in movies, such as "difficulty in getting a salary", "can't afford a house", "children dare not have children" and "old children don't live up to expectations".

I once vowed that this must be a "tragic" story wrapped in a "comedy" coat, which is enough to make people feel sad from the heart, but it must be warm. It must be like "Long Live Life", which makes people deeply hurt and hits the soul directly, but it is memorable.

So I made all the preparations, quietly waiting to enter the movie, looking forward to the moment when I was severely baptized.

However, sadness can't be cried, laughter can't be said, comedy is not, and tragedy is not. In this way, the quiet heart watched the whole movie without saying a word.

A good hand was smashed to pieces.

The plot level is flashy and not thorough enough.

There are three lines in the film: the bitterness of Pu Tong and daily necessities, the sadness of the childless Eight Lords, the bitterness of Yang and his son turning against each other and the disharmony of their families.

Every article is an opinion and a pain point!

The film uses a "kidnapping case" and a "sperm stealing case" to connect the three lines in series, and through clever design, all people and everything are cleverly gathered in a meat factory in the suburbs.

At this time, the pain point, suspense and climax of the plot are perfectly combined, and the director and screenwriter are very careful. Unfortunately, the imbalance in details finally makes the pain points float on the surface, comedy is over-affected, tragedy is not enough to replace, flashy, and finally falls into neither fish nor fowl.

Pu Tong couldn't afford to buy a house for half his life, couldn't afford to pay the rent, and even his wife didn't dare to have children. Such a man is timid in middle age, and self-esteem is his last dignity. However, the whole film is not weak enough and lacks the desire for self-esteem. Coupled with Allen's habitual stage comedy performance style, what we realize is not pain, but stupidity.

Relatively speaking, the acting skills contributed by two old actors, Jin Shijie and Yam Tat-wah, are enough to render, which is one of the few highlights of the film.

Although the mode level is not novel, it is enough to form an explosion, but unfortunately the director's strong pull is not natural enough.

In this multi-story, hand-in-hand movie, two directors in China did a very good job.

Geng Hao and his crazy rocks and crazy racing cars.

Xin Yukun and his inner maze fell silent again.

They are good at interweaving several different scenes and characters, and the story is spread out separately. Through a subtle point and an unexpected angle, it is not abrupt and just right, making the compressed spring moment generate wonderful and gorgeous.

Judging from the film narration, the mode of human comedy is very similar to the above, but it is a failure. There is a simple reason. If what Geng Hao and Xin Yukun did was a wonderful adventure, then Human Comedy was a party.

Give a simple example:

The scene of stealing sperm in the hospital is actually a key bonding point, and it is precisely because of a series of coincidences caused by stealing sperm that more complicated plots follow.

However, there are two problems that are abrupt and easy for people to play:

(1) Can a hospital easily let two thieves posing as dutiful sons into the sperm bank?

(2) Does the nanny want to give Yang Taijun a son because of love?

1 Question involves how to steal test tubes successfully, and the second question involves the original intention of another group of thieves.

The combination of these two issues is the starting point and source of the film.

But the settings and explanations given in the film are far-fetched. At this time, some people always say that this is a comedy, and some people like it. Just have fun, why take it seriously?

Then let's take a look at the comments of netizens, and rush to the streets in a serious way.

Evaluation level: Douban 3.5' s score is shocking enough, but the number of people scoring is less than 7000, which is even more jaw-dropping. Looking ahead, when have we seen the movie "Twist FunAge"? Popularity and ratings can reach such a double difference.

There is an interesting phenomenon. It seems that except for the novel "The Water of the Donkey" with different styles, other works are not spared, that is, the shorter Shen's free time, the lower his score and reputation. In this case, it seems that Allen is carrying the banner and leading the way. I guess I'll stop here and go.
