Is "Care for You" co-produced by China and Japan good? How to evaluate this film?

For many viewers, "Care for You" may not be a good movie, it is too procrastinating and melodramatic.

Caring about you is not a story, but a state.

There are only two kinds of contradictions in the film: the discord between Yuan Yuan and her mother-in-law, and the gap between the pace of life in the town and the motherland. But in the whole movie, these two contradictions are not well displayed, and neither the editing nor the lines of the characters can arouse the audience's thinking about these two contradictions. So the whole movie doesn't look like a story about family and women, but more like the life state of Yuan Yuan.

In fact, it is not uncommon to describe the status of characters in movies. For example, the Cohen brothers are very good at depicting characters and the status of the times. The most typical example is their work "Drunk Hometown Folk Songs". However, the Cohen brothers can always skillfully separate the conflict of the story from this state, so the audience will not be so bored.

On the other hand, in Kenneth Bi's Care for You, the conflict is greatly weakened, replaced by the psychological activities of the characters, and the information contained in the lens is not high, so the whole film is completely unqualified in story.

The lens of I care about you is beautiful, but the art of film is more than just a lens.

In the movie, the scenery of Hokkaido is the same as that described in Kawabata Yasunari's novel Snow Country. If we exclude the two-hour plot, it is not an exaggeration to take care of you as a promotional film for Hokkaido attractions. The composition and light of each frame of the film are perfect, and the switching of various shots is also very good.

However, because of the script, the Hokkaido style shown in the film was broken, deviated from the main line of the story, and had a perfect skin (lens and picture) but no profound essence (story). It seems that the director mistook photography for a movie.

The cultural gap between China and Japan did not collide in the film.

In fact, this is also a serious injury in the script, but since "Care for You" is a film co-produced by China and Japan, this point will be said separately.

In the movie, Yuan Yuan was dissatisfied with her mother-in-law asking her to stay at home and teach her children. She longed to return to China and her career, so although she was pregnant, Yuan Yuan had an abortion and left the town.

Then the problem is coming. The director focuses on the role of Yuan Yuan, and almost all his thoughts and feelings are revealed through the actor's performance. There is no great conflict between the protagonist and her mother-in-law except differences. These two choices collide in Yuan Yuan's thoughts, but they can't bring an "emotional accumulation" process to the audience.

The structure of the whole story is very big, but the director didn't do the details well, so that the information of the whole movie is too low and it seems artificial.

"Care about You" is not a good work, because the director Kenneth Bi himself doesn't approve of the role of Yuan Yuan, not to mention how strong the audience's singing skills are.
