Zhang Yimou's Reflections: The Power of Cinema
Netizens who have watched "Hot and Hot" gave pertinent comments, and in the movie, the heroine's encounter can be called a series of misfortunes, which seems a bit far-fetched.
From the beginning, she was snubbed by the company because of an accident, and then her family, relationships, and friends had problems one after another, and this series of unlucky things was unacceptable.
This kind of continuous misfortune, like a nightmare, makes the audience wonder if fate can really be so unfair?
What's even more unbelievable is that the heroine magically gained 100 pounds just through fitness, this change seems to come too easily, and people can't help but doubt its authenticity.
From an ordinary person immersed in a difficult situation to a successful woman with a delicate figure and a bumper career and love, such a transformation is really incredible, it is like fooling the audience!
In addition, the personality portrayal of the characters in the movie is too superficial, and the audience simply cannot feel their pain, contradictions, and inner struggles.
The heroine's suffering seems to remain only on the surface, and the lack of depth makes it difficult for the audience to empathize.
Her family, friends, and relationship problems, while endless, lacked enough emotional texture to resonate with the audience.
The development of interpersonal relationships also seems unnatural, resulting in characters that are too flat for the audience to relate to, and the characters are quickly forgotten after watching them.
If you can build the characters in more depth, the viewing experience may be completely different.
In addition, the name and publicity of the movie give the impression of comedy, but the actual content does not have that many laughs.
Some viewers bought tickets to watch the movie because of the title, but they were disappointed.
This suggests that overblown propaganda can be disappointing.
This kind of marketing tactic is simply worse for the word-of-mouth of the movie.
The audience was led into a trap where expectations did not match reality, causing them to have a negative impression of the movie, and this gap greatly affected the word-of-mouth of the film and the trust of the audience.
In stark contrast to "Hot and Hot" is "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou, which reflects the current situation of the rule of law in society and the difficulties of ordinary people in defending their rights through several short stories.
It not only tells the story, but also provokes the audience to think deeply about the rule of law and justice.
Conclusion
The success of "Hot and Hot" is the result of Jia Ling's unremitting efforts, but the different evaluations of it by the audience also suggest that directors should pay more attention to the depth and connotation of the film.
Movies are not only for entertainment, but also for thinking about social reality and the value of life.
It is through this reflection that the film can truly exert its positive social impact.
