This drama about love and marriage is limited to one or two narrators per episode, and by switching narrators, narrative perspectives and time and space, it constantly overturns and repositions the understanding of characters and events, thus highlighting that the love world has always been Rashomon, each with its own version, and the authorities are fascinated.
Among the major genres of Hong Kong film and drama, emotional suspense dramas have always been based on the principle of "being happy together", and it seems that the development of the plot will not deviate from this dark line.
It not only affected the direction and depth of the script and the mentality of Hong Kong people, but also changed the emotional choice of Hong Kong films and dramas in the mainland to a certain extent.
But whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong people, after years of life baptism, they still find that the state of being together when they are happy and being separated if they are unhappy is feasible in the script, but it is much more difficult and complicated to do so in real life. Therefore, a simple sentence "the most important thing is to be happy together" is obviously not rigorous enough, or even "harmful".
These works that lack depth are suitable for the industrial assembly line script creation method, so it is logical that the Hong Kong version of the film script should be perfected and revised while filming.
However, this type of creation is destined to decline after the audience has tasted the prosperity of the world and opened their eyes. In particular, the main force of watching dramas has been attacked by various ** platforms, and the second commentary of "next meal drama" and "30 minutes to watch a drama" has become its most likely destination. Mainland screenwriters are much more sober about this, and the decline of Hong Kong film and television is related to the directors and screenwriters' habitual fried cold rice and not heart.
However, a recent drama seems to indicate that Hong Kong dramas are coming out of the trough and welcoming a new beginning. "After Marriage", a purely emotional drama, shows the various tangled feelings of love relationships: violent and tender, ugly and beautiful, sadistic and healing, realistic and romantic, and so on.
This drama about love and marriage is limited to one or two narrators per episode, and by switching narrators, narrative perspectives and time and space, it constantly overturns and repositions the understanding of characters and events, thus highlighting that the love world has always been Rashomon, each with its own version, and the authorities are fascinated.
Judging from the so-called obsessiveness of the authorities, judging from the means of people who are hoarse and hollowing out their minds today, bystanders may not be able to clear up, after all, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs.
Aside from the acting skills of the actors, the idea of the play alone is enough to reflect the sincerity of the screenwriters. The presentation and view of real life are analyzed, deconstructed, and various factors formed by the ending.
If it can truly show the values, life concepts and pursuits of modern young people; Instead of deliberately creating a seemingly simple and relaxed artistic conception, allowing the audience to measure and think for themselves is already a great progress and success.
In the center, there is actually a joke about the previous core classic of "being happy together is the most important", which is rare. Of course, maybe the screenwriters haven't completely let go of their obsession with this sentence, after all, these eight words are also an important part of emotional life.
and another drama "Goodbye Pillow Man", which adds a suspenseful plot, will also appear more rhythmic and tense. It's just that the plot is more dragged on than "After Marriage", and I still look forward to their performance.
If you can let it go, you can go far.
Unveiling the surface of life, "truth" may be more valuable. In order to really arouse the audience's thinking, such works are more meaningful.
