Hey, did you hear that? Among the Spring Festival movies, there is one work that was rated as the worst, and "Let's Shake the Sun Together" has become the focus of conversation! I couldn't believe that the average score remained around 7+, which was simply unexpected, and I couldn't even believe it was true.
Let's talk about director Han Yan's film first, this is his third foray into the theme of cancer. The first two "Get Out! "Tumor Jun" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" both have some elements of depth and emotion. However, this time, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" seems to be a bit off the beaten path. To be honest, the criticism of this movie is a bit regrettable, because the cast is not bad, and the performances of Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi are also quite outstanding.
Okay, let's talk about this movie in detail.
First of all, the main story line is about Ling Min, a girl with uremia, played by Li Gengxi. She actually sent a marriage request in order to find ***, and I have to say that this plot setting is a bit unbelievable. It all happened in the middle of the night, and the tumor group became her matchmaking platform. Ling Min's idea is unique, she is willing to marry a patient, provided that she can donate a kidney to her after the other person's death, and she will take care of the other person's relatives after the other person's death. This kind of bizarre plot makes people want to ask how the screenwriter came up with it.
As a result, after the ** was sent out, Ling Min immediately regretted it, feeling that he was going to make trouble. She hurriedly withdrew**, but she didn't expect a boy named Lu Tu (played by Peng Yuchang) to come to the door. Lu Tu suffers from a brain tumor, because he doesn't want to drag his mother to give up**. He actually told Ling Min that he had four spots that matched her and could donate a kidney to her, at the cost of taking care of his mother after she died. This plot is simply incredible, the male protagonist actually followed the female protagonist for a few days, and in order to investigate whether the female protagonist is buying and selling organs, it's too much.
What's even more bizarre is that Lu Tu has always wanted to donate a kidney to Ling Min, and he follows her ass all day long, and Ling Min feels that this guy is really mentally problematic. Two terminally ill patients, one is Lu Tu who is in a mental state, and the other is Ling Min, who has to find *** in order to survive, such a combination is really a bit incredible.
Then, the plot development of the film is even more confusing. Lu Tu moved for Ling Min, moved into her house to take care of her, and called his mother to help, what kind of strange development is this? The two of them quarreled, talking and laughing, Ling Min was about to collapse, but he was unknowingly ** by Lu Tu. It is unbelievable that two terminally ill patients have developed feelings for each other after a period of time together, and they both hope that each other can live well.
What's even more unbelievable is that they actually got a marriage certificate behind their parents' backs, which is an unbelievable plot. The male protagonist's craniotomy successfully ended the whole film, sending positive emotions to the highest point, and the male and female protagonists have lived a happy married life since then. However, the problem of the heroine's kidney source dilemma and the male protagonist's tumor **, which has been depicted in the film before, has still not been solved, and it feels like it has stopped in place. This ending design is a bit puzzling.
Truth be told, the problem with this movie is quite obvious. It's so routine that it feels like you're going around in your own circle, and there's nothing new at all. Director Han Yan wrote in his previous work "Get Out! "Tumor" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" have already shown his skills in filming the details of terminal illnesses. However, this time it seems to rely too much on the previous successful model, so that the audience does not feel the freshness.
Compared with the previous works, the emotional setting of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is more complicated, because it involves the issue of kidney donation. However, the script seems too ordinary, and the design and progression of the plot feel a little strange. The male protagonist follows the female protagonist, and the female protagonist is against the male protagonist's disgust turned into liking, and such an emotional turn was a bit hasty and difficult to accept.
While the film strives to show the daily suffering of patients, the piles of medicine jars at home, the tightly controlled diet, and the life of living near the hospital while waiting for the kidneys, these details do not really touch the hearts of the audience. Perhaps, the director should pay more attention to the handling of emotional details when creating, so that the audience can understand the patient's inner world more deeply.
Although this movie is controversial, it must be admitted that the performances of Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi are indeed highlights. They present very real characters in the film, and despite the strange plot, the actors' performances are still touching. Through the delicate performances of the actors and the details of real life, the film tries to ** the special feelings between the sick. Although controversial, this attempt was still able to resonate with some viewers.
In general, "Let's Shake the Sun Together", as a movie in the Spring Festival file, is indeed disappointing in some aspects. However, despite the criticism, it also has its highlights, such as the performances of the actors and the realistic presentation of the details of the patient's life. Perhaps, this movie is a worthwhile attempt for the audience, but you must also be prepared, because it is not a first-class movie in the traditional sense. In the world of the film, ** and confusion are intertwined, just like the life of a terminally ill person, full of uncertainty and displacement.
