Before I start spraying, I would like to ask a question: How many people only found out after they left the cinema? The film company has a warm reminder that this movie is only suitable for children to watch?
So, can I understand this way, those audiences who criticize this movie (including me) are just self-indulgent, sensationalism, nonsense, and show their presence in the eyes of our film crew?
Hey, to be honest, Director Chen has been protecting us.
After all, as the director of this movie, before it was released, I used Weibo to remind (warning) all adult audiences who tried to enter the cinema for well-known actors such as Huang Bo , Jia Bing , Fan Wei , Yao Chen , Xu Juncong . This kind of good intention of watching the movie without the companionship of minors is not something that ordinary people can insist on.
He even felt for himself how unforgettable and regretful it was tortured by a two-hour strange plot for himself.
Regrets any child sitting beside him who is amused by the movie plot every few minutes, maybe we won’t open Douban as soon as we leave the cinema and complain about the rating area below two stars, and we will be passionate about it.
At that time, we looked at the child around us who was so happy that his limbs soared, and then at the plot that was so innocent and strange on the screen that it was full of strangeness. The speechlessness and resentment in our hearts would be instantly comforted by the self-comfort of the sentence "As long as the child is happy", so the mute was speechless as if he was speechless as if he was eating berberine.
In fact, it is not so bad that " Mozart in outer space" is too bad, but it is better to say that it is so pure that it can't be chewed. It originally positioned itself as a film that children's growth is warm, but it insisted on finding a group of comedians to add a lot of useless gimmicks and artificial jokes to the movie. It is obvious that it wants to feast on the bowl of the children's film market and not forget to remember the adult movie audience.
If the target group itself is positioned as a child audience, honestly speaking about a period of growing up troubles and warmth will be much more successful than the current carefully prepared hodgepodge.
A father who had dreams at the beginning but was helplessly tortured by the trivialities of life and tormented by life, sold his son to the palace of art at all costs, and he wanted to send his son to the palace of art. A son who was innocent and yearned for the vast universe all day long with his imagination and persistence in dreaming, fighting wits and courage with his father's harsh discipline at all times. Finally, the two finally understood the other party and reached a reconciliation in the coincidence created by the mysterious power provided by an alien creature. A story like
can be used in the hands of any foreign art film master to make classic Oscar-level films like "Wrestling, Daddy", instead of being filmed like Director Chen, being scolded by Douban netizens with guns and sticks within three days. The only thing he can blame is that he wants to express too many things. A story that combines music, growth, dreams, father-son love, family ethics, campus youth, fantasy and adventure, science fiction suspense, humor and funny. If he wants to be well presented in a two-hour movie, it is no less difficult than a qualified Marvel movie.
Logically speaking, the core of the story of "Mozart in Outer Space" is worthy of careful shaping. If Director Chen can focus on the conflict between the camera and the plot on the level of the father and son's different understanding of dreams and life, remove the cult trio and other exaggerated and unnecessary funny plots and comedy burdens, and make the whole story more purely to show the cross-age communication between father and son's family affection and growth, this movie will instead win the pursuit and love of audiences of all ages.
Nowadays, we all know the pressure of children's learning and competition. They not only have to use the pitiful free time after school to complete the heavy homework assigned by the school teachers, but also be forced by parents who want to become successful to learn various interest training classes that can help them win at the starting line. On the one hand, parents do not want to make their children's future uncertain and uncertain, but on the other hand, they have to take care of the children's spare time to meet their dual growth needs of learning and health. The different life experiences of these two age groups have made the contradictions and generation gaps between each other increasingly irreconcilable. This is the most powerful trump card and the strongest competitiveness of the movie "Mozart in Outer Space" in the summer season.
movie script focuses on this complicated and irreconcilable father-son relationship in real life. It strives to outline and fit the children. The most difficult difficulties and the most real pain points of the two groups of parents regarding growth and dreams. The sorrow and warmth of the bottom of the Chinese-style family education are presented delicately and plainly through the performances of Huang Bo and Rong Zishan, allowing children to see the helplessness and difficulties of being parents, and also allowing parents to see children's persistence in dreams and their understanding of growth.
Of course, in reality, irreconcilable emotions in reality, in the movie, we need to use some surrealism means to cleverly promote the reconciliation between the father and son.
Mozart from outer space was now given a deeper emotional mission. Its superficial purpose was to help Ren Xiaotian eliminate all kinds of obstacles encountered when growing up into astronomers, and the deep purpose was to help Ren Xiaotian repair his relationship with his father. Why is such a plot more reasonable?
Because according to the movie setting, the planet where Mozart is located is an art planet, and it was discovered by Ren Xiaotian, who grew up to be an astronomer in the future. With Ren Xiaotian's efforts, Mozart's Alpha 18 will eventually build a new art planet with mankind. The ending of
requires Ren Xiaotian not only to become an astronomer who dares to think and be brave to take risks, but also to have super high artistic attainments and have a certain ability to understand, analyze and express art. This ability is obtained by Ren Dawang’s painstaking efforts to cultivate Ren Xiaotian.
So if Mozart regards his father as an opposite simply to help Ren Xiaotian realize the dream of an astronomer, this movie will be a logical slap in the face.
Therefore, Mozart has only one mission to come to Earth, that is, to help Ren Xiaotian repair his relationship with his father, so that he can truly grow into an outstanding talent with both literary and artistic blossoms, and thus help Alpha 18 and mankind fulfill their dream of jointly building an art planet.
In this way, the script is not only purer and more refined, but the whole story is also more reasonable and focused. The main line is more focused. The surreal plot is used to perfectly solve the misunderstandings and generation gap between father and son due to growth. It is obviously better to win the love and resonance of audiences of all ages than everyone joins together to fight the cult trio.
Remove the exaggerated jokes and those long and useless plots. The performance of "Mozart in Outer Space" throughout the summer season not only allows more families to feel the warmth and the value of mutual understanding from family affection, but also adds a warm humanistic atmosphere to the development of domestic science fiction films.
It’s a pity that Director Chen, who is used to filming commercial films, has long forgotten the original intention of the filmmaker and has put a perfect script that can be made into a classic into the pervasive routine of the film and television industry assembly line.
Well-known actor + comedy star + campus youth theme + popular outer space topics in recent years and other commercial films that can trigger eye-catching economy. This "Mozart in Outer Space" is just a failure of a movie in the short term, but in the big term, it may once again break the stepping stone for domestic science fiction-themed movies to move towards a brilliant palace.
Alas, the interests are so vicious that people are killed.
Of course, in addition to macro-level problems, this movie is also full of various bugs in the plot. The biggest plot loophole occurs in the father Ren Dawang, played by Huang Bo. As a wandering singer who once insisted on his musical dream and went to the world with his sword, now he can only rely on buying insurance to maintain his family's daily life. He clearly knows how unforgettable and painful it has to bear to persist in art and how unforgettable and painful it has to bear when he cannot meet his daily life needs in the future, but he still insists on letting his son learn the piano and follow his old artistic path before. To put it nicely, Ren Dawang doesn't want his son to rush onto the path of ordinary people without experiencing the beauty of art. To put it bluntly, he has not learned lessons from his tragic life experience. He didn't succeed at the beginning. What confidence does he have to think that his son will rely on art to live a peak life in his future, especially when his son clearly doesn't like piano.
If Ren Dawang is a realistic father, he will never be able to let his son continue to follow the path of art and repeat the same mistakes after suffering the loss of his dreams. In contrast, it is more reasonable for his son to become an astronomer in the movie plot.
With the development of my country's aerospace industry in recent years, astronomers are no longer whimsical and unrealistic professions. On the contrary, this may be a profession that is both stable and socially renowned and very meaningful. It is much better than sticking to the artistic dream to go on the streets to sing or go door to door to endure the anger and sell insurance.
As a father, Ren Dawang cannot see this point. So why did he insist on letting his son learn piano? Isn’t it better to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well? It just so happens that my son still likes it and is talented?
The second bug appeared in Ren Xiaotian's classmate Ma Yuan. In fact, he is the biggest tragic element in this movie and the most miserable character who has been ignored. This guy didn't know the truth about his mother's death until the end of the movie. His appearance was almost useless except to help the protagonist retain another cheating fruit and find the cult trio.
I don’t know why the film company brought out the tragic element of his mother’s death, and at the end of the movie, it seemed as if I had forgotten this incident at all. Ren Xiaotian's behavior at the end of the movie is equivalent to stealing Ma Yuan's last thought of his mother. With such cruel means, the filmmaker directly ignores the monologue that does not care about portraying Ma Yuan's inner monologue. Instead, this guy also follows the protagonist group to fight monsters and rescue Mozart.
If he wants to forcibly cleanse, he may want to save the only alien who has seen his mother on an alien planet. Not to mention that our explanation is a bit far-fetched, just say that Ma Yuan’s feelings for his mother were not only forcibly wasted in this movie, but also seemed more fragile and insignificant in the environment in which the whole movie promoted the father’s love emotions.
Is it really good to treat a child who has lost his mother like this? Is Chen’s tragic life situation simply for the sake of being funny? At least at the end of the movie, I would give this child a warm ending, after all, he is still thinking about his mother?
The only alien who claimed to have seen his mother was gone, and the only thought left was gone. Is it too cruel for Ma Yuan, and the plot logic assigned to him was too ruthless.
The third bug appears on Ren Xiaotian.First of all, he can't even play the Turkish March that his teacher taught and goes directly to the finals by just cheating. Let's talk about the variation he played in the finals. In this cool special effect picture, we not only see his accurate grasp and free transformation of the notes of all things in the world, but also see his father who was once scattered in the music scene and his miserable life experience. At this time, I thought he would indirectly reach a reconciliation with his father through this variation, understand his father's difficulty, and complete the artistic cherishment and honest treatment of family affection with his father's previous generation musicians, but the reality is not.
With the end of the variation, this buddy expressed his loyalty to Mozart, which made his father's cultivation and perseverance on the musical path instantly become worthless. It seems that the person who has been with Ren Xiaotian for eight years has not been his father Ren Dawang, but Mozart.
In fact, in the plot, my father has promised Ren Xiaotian that this will be the last time he has forced him to play the piano in Liangshan. With this variation, Ren Xiaotian should try to understand that his father has the same love and perseverance for music, and his persistence is no less than that he wants to be an astronomer.
This is the collision and exchange of different dreams of two generations. This is the best opportunity to realize the melting of the generation gap and scars between father and son, but this opportunity in the movie is also ruthlessly wasted.
Even if the special effects screen presents this part, it still does not delay Director Chen ignores Ren Dawang's companionship with Ren Xiaotian on the road of piano learning and the deep fatherly love buried behind the harshness and sternness, and does not delay Ren Xiaotian being a silly sweet child who has no empathy for his father for eight years.
So after all, the place where this movie should promote fatherly love is ignored by the director, and the place where the fatherly love is not promoted is deliberately crafted by Director Chen's rich and colorful deliberate plot, making the overall plot appear clumsy and layerless, without any deep meaning, and without any warm resonance of emotional interaction.
So in the end, Ren Dawang understood Ren Xiaotian, and to be honest, Ren Xiaotian did not understand his father's good intentions. Well, although I don't understand it very much. If Director Chen wants to use this movie to show the warmth of father and son, there is no doubt that this is self-destruction.
In addition to the reasons we mentioned above, what other factors are there that make us unable to accept "Mozart in Outer Space"? The most intuitive reason may be this little doll named Mozart.
Whether in terms of appearance or settings, Mozart is actually not likable or even a bit outdated. Its expression that resembles Chen Sicheng and director Chen's family dubbing not only does not add points to the doll, but also makes this doll look too greasy in terms of expression. This expression at the beginning blinded me directly. I even think that Mozart's inability to speak in the whole movie is a better setting...
But in fact, this is not the biggest problem for the doll. Although its appearance is not likable, it should not affect the character's logic and charm blessing of the overall film itself, unless its existence itself is problematic.
To be honest, it's 2022 now. The plot of a consciousness from outer space attached to the doll to accompany the protagonist's growth can no longer be expected to be exciting for the audience who grew up watching Ultraman, Yangtze River 7, Doraemon, Happy Planet, Digimon and even Marvel DC animation and other film and television works.
In this era when artificial intelligence runs all over the ground, let alone consciousness from outer space, it will not cause much surprise even if it appears around us.
The supernatural power in 2022 is just an alien consciousness body. To be honest, it is too charming. This is an era when concepts such as the meta universe, multiverse , parallel universe , multidimensional space , quantum field and other households are all well-known. Without any brain-opening settings, how can refresh the audience's understanding of mysterious power be worthy of the "unimaginable" slogan shouted during publicity and promotion?
So it would be better to change "Mozart in Outer Space" to "Mozart from the Universe" and so on to bring some different experience to the audience. The protagonist wants to escape from his father's strict discipline and put on his smart glasses. He quietly feels the dual charm of music and cosmic civilization in the world of the metaverse. It is no better than just an ugly and cute doll swaying around him.
This not only fits the popular science fiction topics of the new era in 2022, but may also create a new world of Chinese-style "number one player" who is dependent on the meta-universe world to interpret a new and warm plot. Such gimmicks and promotional points are not much better than any comedian. If you have the time to think of bad jokes, it is better to work hard on setting up the situation. Maybe there will be more unexpected surprises to present to the audience.
I heard that Director Chen also wants to use this movie to start his outer space trilogy. In fact, if we look at it like this, we don’t have to look forward to the next two movies. Because the first tone-setting article has failed, how innovative can the last two episodes be worthy of our contribution to the box office in the cinema? I'll be fooled by iQiyou and Tencent. You can watch it.
The part we want to complain about about the movie "Mozart in Outer Space" will end here today. Those who like this video or want to complain about this movie are welcome to leave a message in the comment section and the barrage to interact with us. The video production is not easy, and I hope that all viewers can move your cute little hand with three clicks and follow me in a few seconds.
OK, Green mountains will not change, green water will flow for a long time , see you next video.
