Is the domestic comedy "The Lover" good or not? What are the advantages of this drama?

The 2016 comedy movie "The Lover" followed the path of a traditional Hong Kong sex comedy, but it was born in the wrong era. The polarization of reviews is probably related to gender.

If you search Douban, you will know that a large number of comments are criticizing the distorted three views of this movie and the core of the straight male cancer story. It seems that no one can remember the Hong Kong comedy movie so many years ago. , such as "Happy Ghost", "Rich Man", "Family Happiness", etc., and even Stephen Chow's nonsensical comedy movies that everyone admires, are actually not much different from the shell of this movie.

The movie is filled with a lot of nonsensical coincidences, sexual metaphors and jokes, and even the axis of the story: pursuing an affair because of a misunderstanding, and finally realizing the beauty of family. This childish and corny story, They all look very much like Hong Kong comedies from ten or twenty years ago. However, the film back then relied on a group of Hong Kong superstars and played a similar story, but it could not get a score of 6 to 7 on Douban. However, this movie only received a 6.0 and was criticized by polarizing reviews. It is undoubtedly this movie. The movie failed in its attempt to imitate the classics, and ended up running into the crosshairs of modern public opinion and morality.

Objectification of women, pure male cancer perspective, ridiculing pornographic jokes, etc., of course, these are nothing in the eyes of modern male audiences who are increasingly suppressed by society, and may even mistakenly think of these "sex comedy films" The plot that only appeared in "The Lovers" is now openly given to them, but the fact that "The Lover" is released does not mean that it is completely okay. Women who are regarded as the target of ridicule will naturally feel that It is uncomfortable and will definitely severely resist the reproduction of this kind of movie. Therefore, the public opinion of the movie "The Lover" must be linked to gender to some extent.
