Maybe many people were immersed in those two movies when they were young, "Do Not Disturb" and "Do Not Disturb 2". Feng Xiaogang has made a name for himself in the film industry with his unique "Feng's comedy" style, not only in terms of box office reputation, but every director will inevitably face creative bottlenecks.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang also fell into a trough in the film industry and was once eclipsed. For a while, even compared with young directors, it was like "Jiang Lang's talent", and the former style strength would be forgotten as the popularity waned.
However, after watching Feng Xiaogang's latest masterpiece "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3", you will find that he is not "Jiang Lang's talent". The strength is still strong, and this movie is a breakthrough, compared with the "blind date" scene in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", it shows Feng Xiaogang's innovative style.
First of all, the poster of the movie is eye-catching, a bit like the ancient Japanese comic movie poster, the colors are bright and bright, and the font uses a variety of colorful colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, etc., this exaggerated feature completely subverts the previous style of director Feng Xiaogang. Not to mention the magical story presented at the beginning of the movie, it is no longer the kind of lively youth love story.
It can be said that "Do Not Disturb 1" and "Do Not Disturb 2" already contain all these lively elements, so the director focuses more on deeper marriage issues. Moreover, all the protagonists in the movie have entered middle age, and they have gone through the baptism of time, and they can no longer love each other with passion like young people.
The film resonated strongly with the audience. Many viewers feel that it is similar to Feng Xiaogang's works, but it is more prominent in its uniqueness, and the color palette is more gorgeous, as if it is a picture scroll of middle-aged people's romantic fantasies.
With the passage of time, the sideburns are gray, and the scenery is gradually dyed with Shaohua, and each audience finds more of their own thinking space in it. There may be similarities in middle-aged life, but similarity does not mean complete resonance.
In order to avoid presenting a prosaic and cookie-cutter story, Feng Xiaogang cleverly incorporated a variety of elements. The ingenious integration of technological elements such as androids, intelligent butlers, drone takeaways, etc., makes the movie instantly full of futuristic sci-fi feeling.
Audiences' feelings about the movie are very different, some people think it is simply a "sci-fi bad movie", while others are positive about the movie itself.
The film focuses on love, which is the core soul of the work. The sci-fi elements are not just a matter of adding to the picture, but rather making the film more unique and substantial. Love is the focus, and questions about love and humanity are deeply explored in the film.
The film also delves into deep questions about love and human nature. It is not possible to simply equate a android with a similar appearance with another person, because even if the appearance is similar, the connotation is absolutely different. There is no substitute for connotation and emotion, because the source of love is not between a living person and a living person, but in the sincere communication and resonance between two living people. Therefore, many emotions cannot be replaced.
However, it's a shame that Don't Disturb 3 still leaves something to be desired. Many viewers don't find the film unappealing, but rather that it seems to have some traces of deliberate pursuit of elegance.
The so-called "elegant" may refer to the failure to adequately cater to the market and to perfectly meet the expectations of the audience. On top of the beautiful powder and blue color palette, there are some unusual elements of current affairs, such as those that tell the story of the husband who waited for ten years and refused to move. These plots make the atmosphere of the whole film seem too vulgar and sensational, pulling it down.
Of course, as the saying goes, "flaws are not hidden". In this movie, we can see that after experiencing the audience's feedback and market competition, Feng Xiaogang finally chose to use more poetic language to ** love and marriage. This led his films to an inevitable polarizing fate.
Some people are able to appreciate this artistic expression, while others admit that they can't. This is not a change in Feng's thorough understanding of human nature, but more like a trade-off he has made in the market competition. He incorporated his literary dreams into this film. Although "If You Are the Truth Do Not Disturb 3" has come to an end, Feng Xiaogang's literary dream still continues.
