I’m not going to see Chunjiao save Zhiming

When people go to the cinema to watch movies, they go to see themselves. It only counts if you watch it in a theater, because you can only watch it in such a closed, oppressive, and unconscious situation. Speaking of why we went to see "Chun Jiao Saves Zhiming", everyone knows that this is the third part of this series. I just watched one or two of them, and also the third one, so I don’t have any special thoughts... After all, it already has a lot of followers. The same thing is that both the first and third movies bought two tickets to watch a movie. The difference is that the Star Lake Cinema in the first movie was reserved, and tonight the No. 1 4K Hall was packed. Before an actor becomes famous, if you like this person, it is just a simple appreciation. When you talk about liking and admiring an actor after he becomes a heartthrob, you will always be suspected of following the trend - why did you go there earlier? The same goes for roles and movies.

The suspenseful and thrilling opening sequence is exactly the same as the first one. The story is a story that Chunjiao heard when she was a child. I am very familiar with this story. In Qinzhou, it is called "Mountain Red Cat", and there are horror stories about eating children and then the parents taking revenge. In addition to thrillers, this film also mixes elements from genre films such as science fiction and gangsters, as well as alien battles and the style of Flying Eagle. KTV cross-dressing parties, hotel sex scenes, cell phone text messages, daily swear words, Chunjiao's purple hair, Zhiming's framed mirrors, the plots and elements that can be seen in every film are all familiar old routines.

Why do we like to look at old routines? Old clothes are not worn every day. The saying "Routines have won people's hearts since ancient times" is very true. Those things that can become routines are those that are most in line with the audience's psychology. Take the women around Zhiming as an example. From the first to the third film, there are new faces every time. If one is not enough, then two. If twenty-five is not young enough, then twenty. Chunjiao will inevitably run away under heavy medicine. Even viewers who are not involved in the drama can see that the relationship between the two of them is very forced. Sometimes I feel that it is very difficult for Chun Jiao, who has to force herself to put her hope in a man who has not grown up; sometimes I feel that Zhi Ming is up to something, knowing that Chun Jiao, who is four years older than me, is just greedy for his beauty.

Is Zhiming a scumbag? Should they get married or end it? Does the issue between Chunjiao and Zhiming represent the current views on marriage and love among many young men and women? If we hope to use movies to explore some emotional issues, social issues, and ethical issues, it is difficult and inappropriate. As a movie, it is only suitable to express more illusions and possibilities, and the important task of exploring issues should probably be left to serious novels. When people go to the cinema to watch a movie, they go to see themselves. Looking for exciting experiences, exclaiming; looking for happy experiences, laughter; looking for sad experiences, crying; looking for profound experiences, meditating; looking for confusing experiences, lost...
