Surprise All the Way received bad reviews on the Internet. At first, there was no hope, but on the way to the movie, I found that there were still some bright spots in the movie, which was not as bad as the online reviews. In a few places, it still touched my tears.
Of course, I also asked myself, if this movie needs to be paid by myself, can I still sit still in the face of its soft plot?
Surprise all the way is said to be a combination of six stories. Such a movie is doomed to have no continuous logical main line. Like the skits in the Spring Festival Evening, such a movie is doomed to be unable to give people a profound feeling that touches the soul. What it needs is a temporary carnival. Surprise all the way gives people an internal ideological barrier after its intermittent six segments take turns. It makes people change the channel change button in turn between its sketch themes, but there is no right to master it, which will make such a movie watch just a boring event without connotation. This may be the reason why the film is unpleasant.
However, the director's technique is still mature. Now, I pay attention to the quality of movies, and I am more and more inclined to sit still in the cinema, and whether I can ride a roller coaster with images from beginning to end. If I feel lonely in the cinema and wait for the plot to progress slowly, then such a movie can't be called a good movie. From beginning to end, "Surprise All the Way" never stopped people. At least, she was led by the story clues of the film, and there was no room for loneliness. At this point, I felt that the director's technique was quite basic. I checked the director's resume. She had studied in the United States and should accept the western commercial film techniques. On the whole, she switched shots quickly, with changeable angles, and paid attention to camera suspense and didn't engage in fraud.
The six stories selected in Surprise All the Way should still have its deep consideration. Its core event took place in Beijing, where a pop singer clashed with the time oppression of the Spring Festival Evening because his wife was about to give birth in the delivery room. After some soul struggle, the mother let her husband go, and the singer rushed to CCTV and participated in the program on time. This should be a main clue of the film, which explains the time of the incident and slips out the most important entertainment theme of Chinese Spring Festival. In this theme, it tells that when there is conflict between family and career, the value of career may be greater and heavier. However, in the narrative angle of the film, including the gossip interest of fans in celebrity children, and the affectation of paparazzi reporters outside the delivery hospital, irony is highlighted in the film, and the interaction between star couple also gives people a sense of hypocrisy in the film. What is valuable about the film is that at the end of this paragraph, Xiao Jingming, a star, was arranged to help a group dancing child who didn't go on stage to have a chance to dance solo and come down from the sky, so that the inner quality of a star's respect and fulfillment of mortal hopes was truly presented in a mythical way, and the value and significance of this star were truly reflected here, which also made the film strengthen the spiritual essence of a star in the theme of stylized holy drama. When the little boy in the film floated down from the sling, the inspirational theme of the film "Anything is possible" was grandly praised, which also made the film have a little shocking tears here. The little boy "Niannian" in the star paragraph involves the theme of family entanglements caused by a dying old man in Heilongjiang. The children of the old man, in the face of money, played down their affection and revealed the ugliness of their hearts. However, at the last minute, the old man's last-minute speech education quickly wiped out the family's selfish conflicts, and finally came a triumphant drama of "escaping from the hospital", which can be regarded as a bright self-deception tail for this heaviest theme. This theme obviously wants to call out that in the real situation, the mutual affection between family members is the most precious wealth of this era.
In the Xi 'an passage, a rich man, accompanied by his younger brother, was hit by a series of collisions on the train. The departure of the train from Xi 'an means that China is from a native China and bound for Beijing, which illustrates the modernity of China under the realistic circumstances. However, the distance between the two reflects the gap between rural China and urban China. At the beginning, the rich man in the film was bossy and arrogant, but the portrait of his mother held by the rural youth around him was broken by the rich man's suspicion of stealing money, which symbolizes the destruction and destruction of the rich China's true feelings about human nature. In the end, the movie ended with a big man's awakening, and this profound contradiction like the huge gap between Xi 'an and Beijing was simply solved, in exchange for the simplest joke in the movie.
The conductor in the train passage reveals that a policeman made some concessions and salutations to humanity when arresting people on New Year's Eve through the crisis that her marriage with her husband Xia Yu was about to tear up a piece of paper. When the mainland and Hong Kong police jointly pursued criminals, in order to satisfy the criminals' little filial piety to their grandmother, they deliberately relaxed the criminals' time limit, giving them a chance to display their feelings normally and fulfill the expectations of their families. At the last moment, when two policemen let go of handcuffs to give criminals a normal hug with their loved ones, although the goodness of human nature in the film has reached the point of "Song Xianggong's benevolence", it still gives people a touch, which is an unexpected ending in this very boring paragraph.
