How long has it been since you posted on Moments? If not, congratulations on entering the world of adulthood.
This is a slogan announced by "Hot and Hot", from which you can probably get a glimpse of the core of the story: from mediocre inferiority and flattery to persistent and firm love for yourself. However, the look and feel of "Hot and Hot" was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised.
The most impactful scene is when Le Ying looked at her former self through the glass reflector before going on stage to box. In addition to the huge difference in body shape, there is also the eyes. In the past, Le Ying smiled and said softly in the mirror, but now Le Ying has firmness, tiredness, and the courage to give it a go.
And the point that poked me the most is also the essential difference between the whole film and the original Japanese work "100 Yuan Love", at the end, Haokun invited Le Ying, and Le Ying naturally replied with a sentence of "depending on the mood" and turned to leave.
So far, it is the most successful localization of this film. "Pleasing others and wronging oneself" seems to have become a curse for many ordinary girls in China to be educated from an early age. Kong Rong makes pears a virtue, but it is also simply understood as suppressing one's own needs, achieving others, and becoming a discipline for a good child. The heroine in the original work said "I want to win" after the game and took her ex-boyfriend's outstretched hand. It seems that while the heroine recognizes herself, she also gains love that she has never gotten. And the treatment at the end of "Hot and Hot" has raised the sense of self-independence above love. "Look at the mood" conveys that I am in charge of my life, and I love and dislove the free and easy confidence between my thoughts, which undoubtedly elevates the role of Le Ying to the height of women's self-worth awakening, and it is not the first step taken by all the heroines.
Many details of the film can be seen Jia Ling's ingenuity as a new female director: whether it is the ** palm behind her cousin, or the lights that keep turning on and off as Le Ying comes home from the TV station as the floor rises, or the happy ending between her best friend and Le Ying's ex-boyfriend you and me, there are not only sketch-style hilarity and irony, but also an ever-improving lens language.
The disadvantage is that the logical relationship between loving yourself and ** is not very clear. In the original work "100 Yuan Love", ** is a collateral effect of wanting to win once, and the difference in body size between the actors of the original work before and after the transformation did not cause a huge impact on the perception. And "Hot and Hot", in order to highlight the biggest marketing point of **100 catties, deliberately linked Le Ying's previous unsatisfactory life with obesity, but did not express the necessity of ** getting a new life in a limited time. On a deeper level, does it have to be reborn? The foreign film "Oversized Beauty" conveys an attitude of self-confidence and rebirth due to all causes, rather than form, is this kind of expression more in line with the values of diversity? Of course, that's another story, and it's a departure from the original marketing point of weight loss.
Whether a movie is successful or not, the story is only one aspect. Jia Ling lost 100 pounds, and the incident itself was incorporated into the plot of the movie, and the audience looked at Le Ying, who became thinner and more confident, and Jia Ling, who became beautiful and successful, as if they were in a huge reality show. The moment I walked out of the theater, my heart echoed: Jia Ling can lose weight like this, what can't she do in the new year? This excitement is not the greatest utility of the movie. That's enough.
