"Dirty Grandpa" VS "My Agent Grandpa" Why is it said that Kung Fu cannot compare with routines?

The film review has been updated for several days, not because I am particularly busy, but because there are only a limited number of popular dramas. I have almost written the first seven or eight articles, and I don’t know what to write.

In addition, I am planning to change the script of a major online movie I wrote before into a theatrical release, etc. Well, the above are all excuses. Now let’s talk about one of them being forwarded on Weibo. , the American R-rated comedy movie "Dirty Grandpa" has been recommended many times.

American movies have a rating system. R-rated movies are not allowed to be watched by teenagers under the age of 17 in the United States because their content involves various disharmony.

Our domestic film censorship is as strict as North Korea, but there is no such classification system to protect the physical and mental development of minors. What an irony. Just like Facebook can be used all over the world, except China and North Korea, it feels weird.

On the hit "Ode to Joy" a few days ago, I saw that Andy actually used Facebook to chat with Singularity in China.

I was shocked at the time. Is it really okay for Andy to go online? You need to read the "Measures for the Administration of International Internet Security Protection of Computer Information Networks" carefully. China's territory cannot be reduced at all!

The screenwriter and director of this film are not particularly good, but the starring role is very famous. He is Robert De Niro, who played the dirty grandfather in "Dirty Grandpa".

Robert has appeared in many of my favorite and widely recognized classic films. For example, "The Godfather Part II", "Raging Bull", "Don't Mess with Me", "Taxi Driver", "Once Upon a Time in America" ??and so on.

If I analyze the film starting from the characters as usual, it would be too ink-filled. After the characters are finished, the space is already full, so we can have a sense of immersion just like in "The Intruder". Let’s talk about “Dirty Grandpa.”

First of all, it’s fun to say this, and I’ve rarely tried it before; secondly, what attracted me to this film is its reflection on current life, and it really has to start with a sense of immersion, otherwise I won’t be close to it.

I hate written language. Instead of calling grandfather, call him grandpa. If someone is called a grandfather, then someone will be called a grandson. Bloodline and logic are connected. Only this kind of ethical relationship is in line with the general public perception.

"Dirty Grandfather", as the name suggests, is about an old and crooked grandfather. Speaking in Beijing dialect, it tells the story of an old man who has no six children.

Before talking about this old man, we first get to know a person. This person is the grandson of the crooked Robert in "Dirty Grandpa". Let's call this grandson Ronaldinho.

In our country, Ronaldinho is a person who owns a car, a house, a successful career, plans for the future, and is about to get married to his fiancée who is strict with his wife. It seems that he has a very happy life. A promising young man.

Before Ronaldinho got married, an unfortunate thing happened: his grandma passed away. Ronaldinho knew that Lao Luo loved his grandma very much, and felt very sorry for Lao Luo.

Lao Luo asked Ronaldinho to take him to another place to relax. Although Ronaldinho was busy with wedding matters, he nodded and agreed in order to make the old man happy.

When Ronaldinho came to pick up Lao Luo from his house, he found that Lao Luo was watching a movie and masturbating in the room. Yes, he was masturbating.

Ronaldinho expressed his shock. The moment he saw Ronaldinho masturbating, Ronaldinho used his actions to explain two Chinese idioms to the audience: dumbfounded and embarrassed.

In the nearly 30 years that Ronaldinho has known Lao Luo, his impression of Lao Luo is: a kind grandfather, an honest and honest grandfather who only listens to his grandma.

Just like we know that the thoughts of Lao Wang next door are normal, but Uncle Li downstairs who only knows how to play chess and walk birds actually did what Lao Wang next door did. , and bending a bow to shoot a giant eagle, no one can accept it, let alone the grandson who witnessed his own grandfather masturbating at home.

Then part B of the story begins like this. What makes Ronaldinho even more devastated is that Lao Luo fell in love with a college student on the road. Let’s call her Cuihua. For now, Lao Luo insists on sleeping with her Cuihua. !

Ronaldinho is a decent person who got the No. 3 grade in elementary school, has always been excellent in both conduct and academics in school, and has a certain reputation in society. How could he let his grandfather Lao Luo run it and be in the news? Things to divide. Ronaldinho started to stop Lao Luo in various ways for the sake of face and lack of understanding.

In the process of stopping Lao Luo, Ronaldinho met the heroine whom he had met in a cram school. Let's call the heroine Rose.

After Ronaldinho saw Rose, he was very emotional. Because Rose is still Rose, the Rose who once had ideals, hobbies, curiosity and yearning for the world, but was not smoothed out by the pressure of society and survival. However, Ronaldinho himself is no longer the same person he once was.

Like Rose, Ronaldinho once liked photography, but under the influence of life and patriarchy, he gave up his hobby and embarked on the path planned by his father. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, and life seemed to be very smooth. Complete.

But when Ronaldinho came into contact with Rose, he collapsed even more than when he saw Ronaldo masturbating.

Borrowing the lyrics from "Goodbye Ni-chome":

"It smells like the exotic folk songs coming from the record store."

"It turns out that it was I’m so happy that I’m the only one who didn’t realize it.”

Yes, a person like Ronaldinho, who has a car, a house, a career, and a fiancée who is about to become a life partner in Beijing, doesn’t need anything to embellish his life. and a reminder that he is happy.

However, it turned out that Ronaldinho was not very happy, and he was the only one who didn't notice it. Before Ronaldinho met Rose, he never thought about what he had lost. He never thought so firmly that I would spend the rest of my life with the person in front of me.

This is also what impressed me about the film, which involves the point of view: life is whose life it is.

In "Dear Translator", under the appearance of the domineering president Huang Xuan, he actually has a child's heart.

In "Citizen Kane", Kane, who has been awesome all his life, has a knot in his heart that cannot be untied. It turns out to be "Rosebud".

Living your own life is called life. When we live the first half of our lives, do we live it for ourselves? A very simple evaluation criterion is whether you are happy or not.

Nonsense, for most people, including me, money means happiness. Is this really the case? Are you happy if you identify with your class and environment?

After Ronaldinho met Rose, he was very painful because he found that his first thirty years had been in vain. He gave up photography and gave up the life he should have actively pursued.

Because it was only after Ronaldinho met Rose that he discovered that he was truly happy. His youth was ignited and his original vitality was restored.

You may be very happy if you have money, and you are happy if you have money and own yourself. If you can buy other people’s lives with money and live according to others’ wishes until the end of your life, it is equivalent to murdering your own life. .

Lao Luo is actually a person with a story. When he was young, Lao Luo was an agent. Because his work neglected the life of Ronaldinho's father, there was a gap between Lao Luo and Ronaldinho's father.

It was in order to fulfill his wife's will: to find a girl and live happily for the rest of her life, and then she suddenly became obscene.

One of the purposes of Lao Luo going to pick up Cuihua is to eliminate and bridge the gap between himself and his grandson, and to help his grandson recognize the truth of life.

As the saying goes, it is easy to learn bad things but hard to learn well. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can dig holes. With such a dirty grandfather as an example, the upright and youthful Ronaldinho has principles, but Lao Luo, who can't stand up to the old gunman, has a lot of tricks.

Life is just a routine following one after another. Whether you are happy or not depends on whether you can control it and how to make a choice in the face of willingness.

The ending of the story is a happy ending. With the influence and help of Lao Luo, Ronaldinho bravely gave up everything that had almost imprisoned him in his life (career, cheating fiancée and the life arranged by his parents). ), and Rose began to wander around the world happily.

The story of "Dirty Grandfather" is not particularly good. Although there are some points that moved me, it is just that I personally like it better. The content of the story I told above is partly processed by me. In fact, the story is a bit boring.

From a script perspective, many plots are not laid out well and are scattered. The relationships between the characters are messy and redundant. The characters don’t know who they are. A series of problems lead to the story not having a climax. , lacks dramatic tension, and the originally good topic selection was wasted by the above problems.

Of course, if this drama is compared with "My Grandpa, the Agent", it can turn "My Grandpa, the Agent" into scum in seconds. It's not that "Dirty Grandpa" is good, it's that "My Grandpa" is terrible. I'm sorry for having so many celebrity guest appearances.
