Zhu Yilong has the will to become an actor, and his performance is not impressive, at least not bad. The worst is the director and screenwriter, but fortunately they are the same person, which leads to my topic not being completely nonsense.
video has high expectations. If the focus follows the funeral industry and is supplemented by family drama, it could have been a low-end version of " I am not a medicine god ". However, with family affection as the main line supplemented by the funeral industry, the film can only be a cliché family fun.
videos have many flaws, and the most fatal ones are two.
The third brother privately sent Xiaowen to Xiaowen's unverified mother. This behavior is not appropriate in terms of emotion or reason. Considering that Xiaowen has already completed the formal adoption, this behavior is even suspected of being illegal. If you consider that the third brother has a criminal record, it will be very dangerous. I don’t know if the creator intentionally ignores rationality in order to force sensationalism. At the wedding at the end of the video, when the third brother turned around, my heart was chilled. I understood that the previous horror premonition was about to come true, so I finally arranged for the third brother and Xiaowen's mother to be a pair.
Not to mention whether the two are suitable, just judging from the information given by the video, first, the role of Xiaowen's mother appears too hasty, making people feel that the creator hastily joined in order to create conflicts.
If Xiaowen’s uncle once mentioned Xiaowen’s mother’s disappearance, it would be natural for Xiaowen’s mother to appear later. Second, there is no hint in the film that the third brother is attracted by Xiaowen's mother, so the sudden invitation at the wedding seems very abrupt, and it feels like it is to force a complete family for Xiaowen (and Xiaowen has changed his words to call him Dad, which is also very abrupt).
Will the third brother like Xiaowen's mother? The creator cannot decide, nor can the audience decide. Only the third brother can decide. After the character is created, it no longer belongs to the creator. From this point of view, the characters in this film are just cards in the hands of the creator and can be at their mercy. Such characters are not respected by the creator and the audience will not respect them.
To make the audience respect the video, the creator must come up with something beyond the audience's perception, which can be an expression, a plot, or a less involved industry field. The funeral industry is very suitable, not to mention that this industry also involves the ultimate topic of death, which is both interesting and profound.
" Devourer " shows the pious and professional spirit and thinking about death in the Japanese funeral industry very thoroughly, and is a positive case that can be learned from the theme. Unfortunately, the film does not intend to express professional fields and tends to create family fun. There may be market considerations. This is not wrong, but it cannot win respect.
Since the story involves the funeral industry, it is inevitable that the topic of death cannot be avoided. I look forward to the film giving the creator's thoughts in the end, but in the end the creator only gives the nonsense of "every star in the sky is the person who has loved us." Well, since the creator just wants to stay in childhood, I have nothing to say.
I want to see Zhu Yilong, I highly recommend it.
If you want to watch a movie, forget it.
