"Life" is tearful but there is a shortage of regrets, Zhu Yilong completely tears the idol label

Author: Hu Jianli

As a domestic plot without special effects and big scenes, the box office of "Life" is currently as high as 240 million yuan in the first weekend, 7.5 points in Douban, 9.6 points for cat eyes and Amoy tickets, which fully shows that it is a movie that has won most audiences. Essence

In the film, Zhu Yilong plays Mo Sanmei, a funeralist, and has a good interpretation of a person with a good appearance, full of kindness, kindness and bravery, and his feelings. The performance is very exciting. He can completely tear the idol label.

The film can most impress the audience is the emotional drama, including the "father and daughter" between Mo Sanmei and the little girl Xiaowen, and the emotions between Xiao Wen and grandmother, Mo Sanmei, and father. The disadvantage of the United States is that a few plots are sensational for sensational sensation.

Use Han Yan's way to make the audience laugh in tears

"Life Event" was produced by Han Yan, directed by Liu Jiangjiang, and starred in Zhu Yilong, starring Yang En, Wang Ge, Liu Lu, Luo Jingmin. The film is rare to focus on the funeral industry, and tells the story of life and death in a humorous and tender way.

Liu Jiangjiang, director and screenwriter of the film, is a youth filmmaker. Baidu Encyclopedia has only one sentence to him. The amount of information is equal to zero except for the "Director of Life".

The amount of information about his eyes is slightly richer: he studied the journalism in college. After graduating, he entered the TV station to make a 11 -year column drama. In 2017, he entered the film industry. Famous shortlisted Pingyao Film Festival Venture Capital. Obviously, this is the "Life Event" that the audience has seen today.

This project can be successfully moved to the screen after three years. From the perspective of creative influence and final appearance to the audience, Han Yan, as a film producer, undoubtedly played a great role.

In a humorous and tender way, telling the story of life and death with a smile is Han Yan's previous "Get Out!" The Tumor King "and" Send You A Little Red Flower "are the best and consistent narrative style.

In "Life" this time, Han Yan and Liu Jiangjiang continued to make the audience tears in this way, but the subject matter was no longer the patient's anti -cancer, but the rare funeral industry on the screen. Qi, the story is warmer.

When it comes to movies with funeral themes, many viewers will think of the Japanese movie "Entering the Master", which has won the best foreign language film of Oscar.

Although "Life" is not as deep and profound as "Entering the Master", Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen in the film are "father who do not know each other" and heal each other during the mourning process. The story of the "daughter, the story, is also crying.

Torn off the idol label, Zhu Yilong's performance is wonderful

"Life Event" has described five funerals: the death of Grandwen, the middle -aged couple, the funeral of the elderly, the old girlfriend of Mo Sanmei, and the death of Mo Sanmei's father.

It seems that it should be a very mournful story, but it reflects the humanity from it, making people see the warmth and warmth.

Mo Sanmei's "God of Paradise" and the little girl Xiaowen, Xiaowen's thoughts on grandmother, between Mo Sanmei and his father, the three emotional lines run through the whole film, and the audience is three -dimensional and comprehensive " "Emotional bombing", which is interspersed with funny bridges such as the classmates of the same class in the kindergarten and the emperor -style funeral farm.

The whole film has a strong drama conflict and emotional conflict. It is a movie that is both ornamental and can make the audience cry with tears.

Personally, compared with the storyline of a comparative routine, the film has more successful shaping the characters.

The main characters in the film are vivid and lively, especially the small text played by Mo Sanmei and the little actor Yang En played by Zhu Yilong. Both of them have wonderful performances. tacit agreement.

Zhu Yilong's performance in the TV series "Rebel" last year has been impressive. In "Life" this time, he completely put down the idol baggage and became a powerful actor.

In the film, he has the image of a character in his head, wearing a flower shirt, not repairing the edges, cigarettes burned with other people, and the eyes that are difficult to conceal the kindness, so that the audience can see a completely different Zhu Yilong from the past.

Earlier, some netizens boasted that Zhu Yilong looked like Liang Chaowei, hoping that in the future, he could become a good actor who was really aligned with Liang Chaowei in the future.

Sensitive routine, a few plots are too deliberate

In a praise, the author also needs to point out some of the lack of plot in "Life". For example, a few plots in the film are sensational for sensational sensation.

The most typical place: Xiaowen's biological mother found Mo Sanmei, hoping to return to her daughter. After a brief painful thinking, Mo Sanmei actually concealed the two partners of "God of Paradise", hiding from Xiao Wen, and secretly handed Xiaowen to his mother when he fell asleep. This is obviously unreasonable!

First of all, the two partners of "God of Paradise" are the adopted parents in the small text. Mo Sanmei should not hide the small texts to the biological mother anyway.

Secondly, Xiaowen is not two or three years old, and Mo Sanmei should not hide her to the biological mother secretly from Xiao Wen. Besides, he didn't ask Xiao Wen's mother if he had a job and whether he had the ability to raise?

This plot is the biggest defeat of the film. I personally think that the main creator is not seen, but to present the sensational bridge section of Mo Sanmei's rainy night chasing Xiaowen's car running.

The plot that deliberately designed in this way for sensation and tears seems unreasonable, which is a little regret of the film.This may be a common problem of Han Yan's similar work."Get out!"Tumor King" and "Send You A Little Red Flower" actually have flaws that are not sensational enough. The former is 7.4 points in Douban, and the latter is 7.2 points. There is still a gap with classic works.

"Life" is currently 7.5 points in Douban, and the score is expected to decline slightly in the future.

It is hoped that the main creators will be able to attract the precepts in the future. While drawing on the advantages of the type of film, we must also try to avoid the shortcomings of too routine and move the audience through a more reasonable and restrained emotional expression.

In general, "Life" is a rare domestic masterpiece worth watching in the theater after the Spring Festival. It has a good start for domestic movies for this summer, and wish the box office sales!
