In 2023, my attitude towards movies has changed and I have decided to stop being angry and recommend movies instead. However, I still can't accept those movies that have the genes of a god film, but because of censorship, they have become bad movies; It is also unacceptable that the original has been wiped out, and plagiarism and remake have become mainstream; It is even more unacceptable to accept those movies that are not gods because of the quality of the films, and those movies that are extremely bad but highly praised.
Recently, I watched the top ten Chinese movies of 2023 selected by Douban, and 10 of them have the highest ratings. But after reading it, I was confused and puzzled.
Why can the 4 movies "The Wandering Earth 2", "About Me and the Ghost Become Family", "Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun", and "Wading through the Angry Sea" can become the top 10 movies of the year?
Is it because of their large number of fans, star aura, or the influence of the audience's subjective color? Are these so-called god films and good films deformed in the development of films, or are they distortions in the audience's cognition?
1.In 2023, the Chinese film market will be criticized, not only Hollywood blockbusters have suffered setbacks, but Disney has also lost its dominance in the global film market.
However, domestic films are popular in plagiarism, remakes, and unfinished films. This year's domestic films mainly relied on Internet hotspots, such as "patriotism", "realistic themes" and "cyberviolence", to attract audiences.
In particular, "realistic themes" have become a hot topic this year, but they are often superficial. Luo Xue likes realistic movies because it is based on reality and pursues beauty; Seeing the darkness in reality, you can also embrace the brilliance of the future.
For example, movies such as "Carnival", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Hidden in the Dust" can allow the audience to think about reality through movies and use movies to change our living environment.
Movies are not only a relaxing entertainment tool, but also a force that can change society. Therefore, the Korean film "Parasite" can win the Oscar for Best Film, and films such as "The Defender", "Memories of Murder", "The Chaser", "The Yellow Sea", "The Crucible" and "Horror Live" can also cross racial boundaries and transmit Korean films to the world, thus giving birth to the global popularity of "Netflix Korea".
However, when we look back at our realistic films, 2022's "Hidden in the Dust" is undoubtedly thought-provoking. With sharp strokes, the film ruthlessly exposes the ugliness of human nature in real life and the marginalization of ordinary poor people in a prosperous society.
They are deceived and ostracized, and they simply pursue happiness with great difficulty. The film leaves an indescribable sense of discomfort in the heart, however,"The old man has a good heart and can't see the poor", "Hidden in the Dust" was removed from the entire network.
This leads to 2023"Realism"Movies, although they are all under the banner of realism, are only used to collect money in their name, and none of them can touch people's hearts.
Take the highest-rated "Wading in the Sea of Wrath" as an example, the film uses a girl being killed in Japan as an introduction, showing the different choices and battles between two parents.
obviously borrowed the shadow of Jiang Ge's case, and also involved social reality issues such as the gap between the rich and the poor, hatred of the rich, depression, studying abroad, etc., coupled with the overall crazy temperament of the movie, as well as the wonderful performances of Huang Bo and Zhou Xun, this movie has received great attention and high ratings.
The film is excellent in terms of acting, but otherwise it is lackluster. The director tries to reveal the sins of the rich class by depicting the family background of Li Miaomiao and Jin Meteorite, and deepens the conflict between the rich and the poor through the family situation of Jin Meteorite.
However, does the image of a boat boss who manages 3 boats present an image of extreme poverty, does this mean that the director thinks the audience is stupid? In addition, Lina Kim's views on loving and being loved, as well as her hidden depression, are portrayed in a disgusting way.
Although Jin Lina's father did not accompany her, thinking about the scene when they were all starving to death when they were children, who would care about companionship? Moreover, Is it wrong to forcibly teach your daughter to swim?
In Let's Wrestle! Dad", how did the daughters learn to swim, and then look at Jin Lina, what's so hypocritical? The whole movie tries to ** the themes of companionship, love, education, etc., but presents the boring and disgusting fantasies of rich people.
For example, compared to his ex-wife, the ex-wife's crime is greater, but she can educate the hard-working people as a victor, which is deeply disgusting.
1. Fake Realist Films In reality, filmmakers will stick the label of realist films to their works as a way to attract audiences. However, in reality, these films are just the director's fantasy, trying to educate ordinary people through these films, and this gesture of being a good teacher will only bore the audience.
In addition, movies like "All or Nothing", "Disappearing Her", "Searching", etc., have the same problem. And bad movies can become gods, mainly because brainless audiences are chasing them.
2. Distorted audience perception In Chinese films in 2023, we can see that the impact of off-screen factors on in-play is becoming more and more obvious. Influence the box office and ratings of the movie through something other than the quality of the movie itself.
Among them, the influence of fans is particularly important. For example, fans of Liu Cixin's works are always mindless and invective, and even those issues that have nothing to do with Liu Cixin's work itself will be introduced into the work by them.
This kind of distorted perception of the audience makes people feel very disgusted. For example, the slow motion and redundant shots in the domestic drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" are obviously to delay time, but they do not have any substantial help to the plot.
Passing by by and drifting apart, this kind of scene often appears in real life when people who love each other turn against each other, or when there is a serious conflict of interest. However, in the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem", this simple walking scene does not have any special significance, just walking silently for more than ten seconds without any sense of conflict.
Similarly, "The Wandering Earth 2" won 8With a positive 3 points, it is known as the best domestic movie in my country in 2023. Someone said: "As a milestone, he is already invincible." ”
However, the biggest problem with "The Wandering Earth 2" is that if you only look at the stories of Wu Jing and Andy Lau, their plots are wonderful and full of twists, but the problem is that their two lines are extremely separated, without any sense of interaction, just like putting two movies together, which makes people feel abrupt.
Although the movies "Heart Labyrinth" and "The Incident About Me and the Ghost Became Family" have independent story lines and characters, they can get high scores through interaction and fan effects.
Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun" has become the most searched movie on Weibo with its miserable sales and hot searches, but it has received very few hot searches because of the quality of the movie.
Fast and Furious 4 is undoubtedly one of the most disappointing Hollywood movies of 2023. The fight scenes in the film are uncoordinated, and there are so many story bugs that it is dazzling, such as the armor that can't be pierced by a gun is easily pierced by a knife, the two can kill each other while surrounded by gunmen, and the discotheque is covered with blood, but everyone has no reaction, even rolling down the hundred-step stone staircase, and there is always no place to hit the head, hands and other places without armor in the rain of bullets.
However, despite the fact that the quality of the film is so poor, it still gets a 7The evaluation of 3 points makes people question whether someone is over-touting bad foreign movies. 3. Looking forward to 2024 In 2023, although domestic films are frequent, they have achieved good results, while Hollywood films have suffered a comprehensive rout in the Chinese market, and superhero films have not been spared.
This makes us look forward to 2024 and hopefully see better film productions.
Cinema is a cyclical event, and 2023 and 2024 will be the era of remakes and fan films, but this phenomenon will gradually decrease over time.
In the absence of armed conflict, culture shock is the most powerful**, and film is the most effective tool of culture shock. For example, the impact of superhero movies on global culture, the spread of Japanese culture around the world, the rise of Indian culture, and Korean culture and German culture all make people around the world feel the cultural charm of their own countries through the charm of movies.
Therefore, movies are not only a tool for entertainment, but also carry the function of cultural exchange and civilization dissemination. Luoxue looks forward to the day when our films can let people around the world understand and appreciate Chinese culture with their excellent quality.
