These five movies to be released in 2024 have undoubtedly become a major topic of discussion in the industry. What they all have in common is that they have all been unanimously rated as bad movies by audiences and film critics. These works are not only a disappointment in the audience's expectations, but also reflect the problems in current filmmaking.
First of all, let's look at "Temporary Robbery", which relied on big-name stars like Aaron Kwok and Lin Jiadong to attract a lot of attention from the audience when it was promoted. However, after the audience entered the theater, they found that the confusion of the film's story logic was unbearable. Not only that, but as a flaunted comedy, it did not achieve the expected laughs, which also makes us have to think, is it suitable for every star to try different types of movies across borders? For comedy movies, the charm of language cannot be ignored, and the Chinese dubbed version of the film also weakens the original sense of humor to a certain extent.
followed by "The Strange Story of Changle Town", although this film does a good job in character creation and scene setting, but the direction of the plot is confusing. In the process of adapting the original book, the film loses the core spirit of the Ghost Blowing Lantern series, and the final work presented is far from the original. This situation makes people wonder, how should the balance between the adapted film and the original book be grasped?
As a movie based on anime, "Painting the Bad Handsome" originally had extremely high expectations. However, the film is too superficial in its treatment of plot and subject matter and lacks depth. Although men's fantasies about women and heroism are a good starting point, the film is too straightforward and simplistic in its representation of this theme, leaving no more room for the audience to imagine and think.
What's in the zoo? tried to attract the audience through the form of drag comedy, but failed to achieve the desired effect. The humorous elements in the film did not resonate with the audience, and the story and characters lacked realism, which greatly reduced the overall viewing experience. It also reminds us that even comedy movies require a certain amount of authenticity and depth in role-playing and storylines.
In the end, the performance of "Flower Thousand Bone" may be the most disappointing. As a movie with a fairy tale theme, its performance in costumes and styling is particularly crucial. However, the "beggar-style" shape in the film seems out of place, which seriously affects the audience's viewing experience. The casting of the actor and the acting skills of the supporting roles have also been criticized, not to mention the various problems in the adaptation of the plot. The emergence of these problems is undoubtedly disrespectful to the original work and a betrayal of the audience's expectations.
Through the analysis of these five films, it is not difficult for us to find that filmmaking is not only a pile of technology and funds, but more importantly, a grasp of the script, respect for the original work, and a delicate capture of the audience's emotions. These failed cases have undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the film industry. In the future of film production, directors and production teams need to pay more attention to the connotation and quality of films, in order to create more excellent works. For the audience, these bad movies are also a reminder, reminding us that when choosing ** movies, we should not only be attracted by the superficial publicity and star lineup, but also pay more attention to the quality and connotation of the movie itself.
