"Weird": As long as it's funny, who cares about the rest?

"Quiet" should be an anomaly in Taiwanese films in recent years - when his peers are advocating to remove one's armor and return to the fields, Xu Fuxiang chooses to portray the farmers' ugly greed, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid; if you think the plot is too low, Or if there are too many ghosts, then this big family will be able to form its own chapter just by carving out the image. This film is based on Korean IP, and it has indeed created some new types of comedy that are rare in Taiwanese films. However, it still lacks a sense of proportion. It is not extreme enough, and it is deliberate and a little deliberate. But as a comedy, it is funny. , who cares about the rest?

The movie is a remake of "Two Kilometers Lost" which was released in South Korea in 2004. The plot depicts a criminal policeman named Brother Feng (Chen Bolin) who has to find the victim who was raped by his brother Xiaoqiang (Hou Yanxi) within 48 hours. Diamond stolen goods, he followed the mobile phone signal to a certain village, but couldn't find the other party. In a strange atmosphere, the villagers led by Xu Bo (Chen Yiwen) started a series of heart battles and battles of wits. When the situation fell into chaos, a female ghost (Chen Yihan) came to cause trouble. In addition to the weird plot, there are many sudden laughs throughout. Full film.

The film has the body of a Korean film, but it has the soul of a Hong Kong horror comedy. The collage of various scenes has a strong sense of collage, and it has the "crazy" and "overdone" look of the old days. Just count them. There are several sets: In addition to "Infernal Affairs" which runs through the whole film, there are also "92 Happy Events" (the scene where Chen Yihan suddenly drops down and kisses Chen Bolin), "The God of War", "Reborn Man", "A Better Tomorrow"... there are endless ones. The nonsensical jokes are also very missed.

There are many elements in this film that are a bit too greedy, including fighting for a few diamonds. This is the most common story in black comedies. Director Xu Fuxiang also added a thrilling element to his wife Chen Yihan, making it more exciting. The film is both darkly humorous and like a ghost movie. The first two acts are okay, but the third act is messy and not very clever. It can only be said that the director is having fun. The strong point of "Jiang Hu Wu Di" is that the third act is also played very cleverly and very funny. However, "Weird" did not make me feel clever except for self-pleasure. There is a small twist at the end of the film, ending with the female ghost played by Chen Yihan. In fact, the title of the film can also be called ghost, haha.

The content of the entire movie is actually very simple. The horror elements are a bit nonsensical, but the balance between blackness and humor is just right. From the casting to the baggage, it is a very successful remake. There are a lot of unexpected jokes, although there are also a few bad ones where you know what will happen next second. Although the jokes are terrible and there are some scenes that are too disgusting, the outstanding performances of the leading actors and the tribute to Infernal Affairs can still make you laugh non-stop.

Liu Guanting gave the most hilarious performance since his debut in the movie. The rough style completely paid tribute to Tony Leung of Infernal Affairs, and he also re-made fun of the classic lines of Infernal Affairs. But the style is not only a tribute, but after seeing it, I realized that Liu Guanting is Wearing a wig, no wonder he was nominated for the Golden Horse Award again. An actor who can also handle comedy is an all-round actor. In comparison, Chen Bolin is somewhat inferior, both in terms of performance and figure.

In short, "Weird" is a good attempt at a Taiwanese comedy. Although the relationship between the five villagers was revealed in the final ending, and Chen Yihan's line was a bit rushed, the whole film showed a high level of It is entertaining and prevents the audience from considering the logical loopholes behind the story. Instead, they naturally focus on which part is funny and which actor performed brilliantly. I think this is the most irreplaceable charm of this movie.
