Messy and overly dependent on the production, but still maintained my full attention. The writing simply doesn't offer a cohesive story, as there are far too many subplots that don't come together in a satisfying way by the end (some are interesting, and some are unneccessary and don't need to be there.) The production value (as my first sentence would imply) is great as well as the subtle cinematography.
Jen-shuo is solid and I'd say this is an acting showcase for this cast. Yu-Chih is the standout, and he steals every scene he's in with an absolutely outstanding supporting performance. Among Netflix's many releases, I'd say Classmates Minus is one of the better ones we've seen this year even if it isn't all that good, so I'd actually recommend it.
🔙Blithe Spirit
🔜Flora & Ulysses
In director Huang Hsin-Yao’s follow-up to the adorable The Great Buddha+, everything is bigger — the sets, the cast, production values, and quite literally, the aspect ratio — but not everything is better.
An anthology of sorts surrounding a quartet of 40 y/o men and their (unfulfilled) dreams, the ensemble story proves challenging to grasp, with highlights sparingly spread out between characters. Ultimate it lacks momentum or a steady driving force to bring the storylines together and culminate in a coherent and meaningful way.
A character says: “Maybe in the end, life is like that — all muddy and meaningless.” Perhaps it can also be seen as either a romantic or irresponsible (depending on how you interpret it) excuse on the part of the filmmakers, for how they ended the film.
Errr,為啥不拍個卡通手槍MV就好?
意外的不會很難看下去,演出的部分其實還可以但是導演真的很煩。可以理解為什麼被笑台中費里尼,從頭到尾不停都在提醒觀眾:喔這是在拍電影的中年男子,還不時講一些拍攝技巧和調整畫面,但除了想把自己放進電影裡看不太出其他意圖。《大佛普拉斯》的旁白起碼還可以說是要多撐出一個觀看的視角(利申:我很喜歡《大》),這部旁白要說有什麼對電影的反身性可說是完全沒有,真的就是在碎碎念。
女性形象悲慘到不忍直視,有人護航那就是這幾個中年魯蛇的慾望投射(這個辯解不是更顯見異男的可惡之處嗎⋯⋯),但兩個女性對質的場面也是尬到不行,我覺得只能用導演的想像貧乏來解釋。
我真的吃不下去這種抒情散文詩,兩小時的口白MV
台詞也不是真的很像異男幹話,只是為了逗觀眾笑。說難聽點,很像在消費低層中年異男,再現底層中年異男的方式跟一些人模仿原住民說話的邏輯給我感覺很像。只是為了賣一種形象。然後節奏慢的不得了,每個字不知道為何要那麼用力一字一字唸
實在太高估自己的忍耐力,看第二次只有更加暴怒而已。
溫馨提醒現行台灣法律其實是不准已婚女性未經配偶同意就墮胎的(請支持修法)(除非她找密醫就當我沒說),黃信堯我拜託你放過異女好不好。
我個人認為大佛的敗筆在導演將自身放入電影這個選擇,但的確是創造出獨樹一格的堯氏幽默,讓社會寫實的電影可以多些活力、少些沈悶。
沒想到黃信堯在同學麥納斯卻變本加厲,沒拿捏好導演與作品本身的距離,拍出了一部導演自己很有感情卻沒有觀眾有辦法產生共鳴的作品。中年男子的幽默一但被展露無遺,就會發現都是過時的大叔梗、無聊當有趣而已,大概只比陳玉勳的幽默年輕15歲。
電影的劇本真的太弱,又薄又無足輕重,看得出來寫劇本時沒有考慮故事線轉換,切換點過多彼此又無連貫,導致轉場生硬、觀眾也無法投入在任何一個角色身上。
我最後真的不得不抱怨中島長雄的攝影,真的很乏味,不但沒有把電影提升,反而拉到了一個菜市場的層次,很多鏡位看起來也完全沒有顧慮到剪接,只追求一味的美感,最後剪輯時鏡頭間根本無法順暢的流動。
我個人雖然不喜歡情人節,但至少它是一部定位明確,在適當的心情的確可以提供給觀眾一種感受的電影;但同學並不清楚自己想要當什麼,像是五種電影揉合在一起,觀眾無所適從,並不知道該用什麼樣的心態去觀看它,出了電影院後也不確定看了什麼。
導演是打算每部劇情長片都要加上口白了嗎,如果這真的能算劇情長片的話?我喜歡《唬爛三小》也還算喜歡《大佛普拉斯》,但這部真的完全耗盡對導演的興趣及耐心,口白除了拿來解釋劇情(意即偷懶)之外有任何加分作用嗎?為什麼要和角色互動?因為不會好好地拍一個故事,反正很多人都覺得口白很有趣很「鄉土」很「道地」那就繼續用好了?
這麼愛把自己放進片子裡,就繼續拍紀錄片嘛,這麼愛講話,就去開個播客啊。這真的配稱作「劇情片」嗎,徒然浪費這卡司,然後鍾孟宏是不是除了特寫就不會別的攝影技巧了,拜託這兩人都去學學怎麼寫好一個劇本。
既然有「肚臍眼文學」那應該也有「屌面電影」吧,是時候該把眼光從自己的雞雞上移開了吧,電影題材那麼多,不要再我我我了啦。
Dibuka dgn hommage utk Caro Diario nya Nanni Moretti dan ditutup dgn penuturan singkat n sangat jelas ttg Life imitating art ato sebaliknya. Keduanya sama2 absurd. Untuk yg 30++ spertinya filmnya bakal lbh mengena.
Meski tak sekuat The Great Buddha+, sutradara ttp punya cara yg unik dalam bercerita. Hal2 sederhana penuh dgn “local wisdom” ttp menjadi area yg dipilih. Komedi absurd jg masih menghiasi. Beda yg terlihat jelas tntu sdh dibilang di awal film.
Setelah film ini, film2 buatan Huang Hsin-yao n Chung Mong-hong itu tak pernah mengecewakan.
誠懇的(噁)直男生活與笑點,讓我有點不太好評價,有時會被中年大叔的誠實給撼動,有時卻又生氣他超級物化的視角,然後說著中年男子都這樣想,女人就是女神,不要下來凡間啦!
說實在所有角色其實都非常概念式,毫無人味在其中,但三個男演員+一位女演員(硬是不想提施名帥)卻又活生生地為角色注入情感與張力,於是鄭人碩抽得煙、游得泳講出了人生的哀愁,納豆的衰眼與哭哭反應了純真的破滅,劉冠廷的結巴與通靈提及了命運的無奈,而王彩驊的靈性則透露「愛的真切、美好」。
阿堯的旁白涉入又更多了,甚至成為了第五位朋友,大玩後設,力圖讓導演風格更為顯著。但比起他的調度與影像風格,我還是讚嘆中島長雄的神奇運鏡、美術的台味陳設、配樂的接地氣、剪輯的準確節奏,明明是這麼強烈,卻又化為無形,讓阿堯如此突兀的影像風格都成了台灣日常的一角。
阿堯已是厲害的導演,但希望他人生的感嘆可以串連地更好,影像節奏其實算是倒吃甘蔗,越後面才越好看!
Watching the director masturbating/riffing is mildly enjoyable, though his acting on the note of Great Buddha + isn't as successful.
And it occurs to me the actor Shih actually resembles Viet Thang Nguyen.
Director Huang Hsin-yao having too much fun with the VO. Works pretty well in his previous film Buddha+ tho.
Character setting is awesome.
we spend a lot of time looking for answers to life, but perhaps the answer itself is chaos
它不是生活本身,它以戏谑深深地刺入生活。全片观看过程中心里始终翻滚着wtf,但这不就是生活的样貌吗:本以为会是精彩非凡,踏上路途却不断咒骂和抱怨。直到终点回望,才发现自己似乎的确得到了什么。
Disgusting & Annoying
中年失意台男的噁爛情感投射,情節看起來像是發自骨子裡卻不自知的厭女;旁白和某些對白煩到讓人牙起來,例如勇敢瓦樂利什麼的那段是什麼鬼東西。
不過中年爸媽看得很開心就是了,它有它的客群吧。
