AI made it, right? ”
Can you lose 100 pounds so much without cutting your stomach? Who believes it?"
Before the movie was released, I heard a lot of such voices.
To be honest, even if Jia Ling**'s figure appears in the trailer after her success, I can't believe that she can lose weight like this.
100 pounds, what is the concept.
In the words of Lei Jiayin in the movie, it is:It's got a bag of cement
It took a lot of effort for a man in the prime of life to carry a bag of cement.
Most Chinese girls are between 100 and 130, and usually **10 pounds is a big difficulty, and losing half of their body weight is unthinkable.
With such doubts, I walked into the cinema on the first day of the new year.
The whole room was packed.
It seems that there are many people who have the same doubts as me.
The biggest gimmick about this film on the Internet is the 100 pounds that Jia Ling lost, so the plot is easy to guess that this will be a fat girl** story.
Spending money to see someone else** is sick
Such voices also appear frequently on the Internet.
But after watching the whole film, I had a different opinion.
Jia Ling plays an older young woman who stays at home and waits for death - Le Ying.
For the sake of this otaku image, Jia Ling gained 40 pounds, and the visual measurement in the film was at least 200 pounds, and the flesh on the next staircase was trembling.
When Zhang Xiaofei was fighting with her, Jia Ling was pushed to the ground fiercely, and she was really afraid that she would smash a hole in the floor.
She worked hard enough to film, and it hurt to slam the back of her head and look at it. ）
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, he refuses to look for a job, and the business of the convenience store at home is not in hand.
Anyone who looks at it thinks this girl is too wasteful. But no one ever mentioned that she was too fat and needed **.
The reason given by the boyfriend for breaking up is only".Your personality has changedIt's not that you're fat and ugly.
Including later on a psychological show, meeting a heart-warming boxing coach, and being molested by the owner of the barbecue restaurant ......No one ever told her "you need to **".
She's getting thinner and more beautiful, justGiving back after chasing your inner dreamsNothing more.
In strong contrast to her, it is the boxing coach Hao Kun played by Lei Jiayin.
Once she stood in front of the glass window of the boxing gym with food, staring blankly at Haokun's energetic boxing;
Later, Haokun stood in front of the glass window of the boxing gym with a cigarette in his mouth, and watched Le Ying sweat like rain boxing.
The shot is extremely ironic.
At that time and at this time, the person in the glass window was fighting for his dreams, and the replacement of life was only in a thought.
Before the release, I was actually worried that this film would be as everyone said:Create body anxiety
In the current network environment, if this intention is revealed in the film, then it is considered a failure.
Look at the situation of the heroine Le Ying:
Her sister dislikes her and covets the real estate certificate left to her by her grandmother; The distant cousin took advantage of her and tricked her into losing face in public; Lovers betray her with their best friends; The object of the heart is abandoned...... after the scum is finished
None of these injuries were because she was too fat. You just change to a thin man to act, and the difference is not much.
Jia Ling herself has been fat for so many years, and she has become a kind of label, no one points fingers at her because of her body shape, but she is loved by the audience because of her cheerful and lively personality.
There is no body anxiety in the movie at all.
Le Ying's awakening comes from the other party after giving her all her heartThe attitude of abandoning and trampling dreams under your feet.
She dug into her heart and lungs to help Haokun achieve her dream of "winning once", but Haokun accepted the bribe from her opponentWhile hating the unspoken rules, he willingly accepted the unspoken rules.
In the end, he vented all his anger on Le Ying: "What kind of home are you going back to, are you especially my object?" ”
Le Ying discovered that not everyone is qualified to chase such a thing as a dream.
You shouldn't pin your desire to chase your dreams on others.
Give up the complex of helping others and respect the fate of others.
Then find yourself again
Le Ying before always spoke quietly, a little unconfident, and a little cringe. There are few friends and almost no social interaction.
Although the psychological mentor (played by Ma Li and Wei Xiang) is nonsense according to the script, he also said the right thingShe was so afraid of being hurt that she closed herself off and refused to communicate with the outside world.
Once someone unleashes a little kindness and warmth on them, they can't wait to give back all their enthusiasm to each other.
People-pleasing personality, was vividly interpreted by Jia Ling.
They don't know how to refuse, they are obviously very reluctant and angry, but they still do things against their will for that poor sense of identity.
This kind of personality may come from the original familyMean sister、And muddy parents
It's not about stature.
Although it is a light comedy, the movie has put a lot of effort into the lens language.
This part of the analysis, it is difficult to say clearly without stills to corroborate, and the most impressive thing is that after Le Ying was injured, she returned to her rental house and went up step by step.
The long lens does not move at allShe walked in the dark in a bright gown, and the rain was pouring down
The dilapidated small building in the night, with Le Ying's footsteps, the lights were lit up and extinguished layer by layer, and finally only Le Ying's room was lit up.
From night to dawn, the lights were never extinguishedLoneliness comes to the fore
It is worth mentioning that something happened that changed Le Ying's fate this night, so there will be no more spoilers.
After Le Ying decided to practice boxing well, she exercised her physical fitness regardless of cold or summer, and no one thought that she would persist until the game.
The corridor leading to the boxing ring seems to have been walking for a long time.
The first-person shot at the beginning of the credits echoes the third-person shot at the end of the credits.
She seemed to see her former self on the glass window in the corridor, the chubby Le Ying, looking at her with a smile, walking all the way.
Including the above-mentioned points, inside and outside the glass windows of the boxing gym, the character replacement of Hao Kun and Le Ying is all using the lens language to show more profound things.
As for what to show, everyone will have their own opinion.
Finally, let's talk about Jia Ling's **.
The last part of the film uses multiple shots to gradually reflect the process of Jia Ling's body change.
Although the camera flashes very fast, she needs to rely on Lei Jiayin to carry it from pull-ups, and she can quickly plank and jump behind her, this qualitative change is a reality visible to the naked eye.
It took nearly a year to complete the miracle of losing 100 pounds, and the movie did not spend space mentioning her hard work in weight loss, perhaps to create a strong visual contrast in the later stage.
After all, when he walked to the boxing ring in a boxing suit, the whole audience in the theater was exclaiming, and the effect was indeed achieved.
The most real hammer is the easter egg after the movie.
The easter egg records Jia Ling's changes and exercise scenes every month, the sweat is sprinkled on the ground like splashing water, and when she can't stand it, Jia Ling can only rely on shouting to accumulate strength.
As a person who has been iron, I know very well what the limit of this shouting is
The lines of weight loss records on the big screen are even more poignant to watch, how painful she has to be to say:Mom, I'm so tired
She was so hungry that she licked the lipstick only to know that the lipstick was sweet......
Many people may not know that it is actually very easy to lose weight in the early stage of large base (overweight), and it is difficult to lose weight in the later stage.
For example, if a girl of about 120 pounds wants to lose 10 pounds and keep it, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Jia Ling was able to reduce all the way from a large base to 109 catties, and her perseverance is indeed very comparable. In the play, she is trying to find herself to really win once, but outside the play, she only loses weight in the process, and she has also won many people.
Just by relying on appearances, he made the conclusion that "spending money to see others ** is sick",A complete misunderstanding of what the film itself is trying to convey
Seeing that the box office of "Hot and Hot" was far ahead, some people said sourly"Spend one or two hundred million to let you lose half of your weight, and you can do it."
The point is, no one can predict whether the box office will be successful or not.
But she still spent a year chasing her goal for an unsatisfactory result.
Just like Le Ying in the movie, her nose was blue and her face was swollen and her mouth was bloody, and everyone was persuading her to give up, but she was still insisting, so she waited for the final counterattack.
This is Le Ying's inspirational and Jia Ling's inspiration.
