Why does Happy Twist's newly released movie "Walking Alone on the Moon" feel so awkward? What's the problem?

1. The narrative system of the movie is relatively complete, but most of the funny elements are not deeply integrated with the theme expression.

In this regard, there are some very good things in the prologue, such as Dugu Yue confessing in imagination and missing the launch of the return capsule, and Dugu Yue trying hard to run but ultimately failing. And we can also see some parts with more potential. For example, in the paragraph about creating the false hero Dugu Yue, the conflict between the lines and actions of the "fabricated dubbing" and the "real wretched male Dugu Yue" can be completely increased, making it funny and showing that the false can't be done. Of. However, the existence of commentary and dubbing has basically not been effectively used. It only exists as a background board for "live broadcast to humans". Most of the jokes come from the kind of "fragmented jokes" that Mahua is good at. Even in the well-done prologue, there is still a joke like "the two astronauts had a stiff neck so they couldn't see that Dugu Yue's seat was empty" which only works for a moment. After that, they made fun of Li Chengru and Huang Zitao's bald heads, played with some homophonic jokes, made the actors look embarrassed, etc. 2. This kind of funny method has little connection with the theme expression

After the Mahua team has expressed their ambition this time, it seems to be more abrupt than in previous works. This time, the Mahua team adapted the comic book, which can be said to have avoided the usual problem of film creation, but the funny method is still its own episodic sketches, and the incompatibility between the two arises. In ordinary twist movies, the plot is told piece by piece, and the comedy is also piece by piece, thereby achieving a harmony in the rhythm of the movie-watching experience, allowing the audience to always stay in the "telling short stories and jokes, and watching the funny jokes" In sync state. But this time, the audience is following the plot coherently, but the comedy is still independent and can only be applied to that moment. It is more like a "click" rather than a plot. Connect before and after. At this time, the audience who is immersed in the narrative will feel that the moment of comedy is very abrupt and has little relevance to the overall plot. As the narrative stage progresses, this feeling will become more and more obvious in the second half. 3. The excessive accumulation of jokes also seriously squeezes out the narrative space of the text, greatly weakening the expression effect.

In the background setting, we can see the origin of Duguyue's "middleman" of avoiding reality, hiding in fantasy, and just letting herself get by: without relatives and friends, living with the positive factors in real life few. The language of specifically calling the earth "Mother", while conforming to the tone of "Mother Earth", also to a certain extent combines "the longing for human civilization on the earth", "the love for Ma Lanxing, the symbol of the earth", "family" The inner self-closure and fear of real harm caused by loss are unified. However, this can only be mentioned in the climax when he is about to die, which seems completely unconvincing. When faced with the "reality" of "no one on earth", Dugu Yue's despair was too short-lived, and she was completely unable to express the message that "you cannot hide in fantasy forever".

Furthermore, his love with Ma Lanxing, as an aspect of the above content, also has the misunderstanding that "Ma Lanxing does not see him", which makes their relationship undergo "real... impact” test. If the interaction between the two is more detailed, let Ma Lanxing understand the truth, and have more hesitation and self-blame for Dugu Yue's enthusiasm, let Dugu Yue experience a little shake after learning the truth, and finally Dugu Yue said with a smile, " You should do this" is more powerful. As the development of love is an important aspect of the theme expression, this film should have a more detailed staged presentation. For example, in Dugu Yue, he experienced the initial "not facing the real Ma Lanxing", but got along with Ma Lanxing directly, and had a "true love" that everyone recognized, but from Ma Lanxing's twinkling self-blame and guilt If you are aware of it, from a little avoidance to a calm acceptance at the end, the heroic sublimation of "embracing real pain" will become more natural. At the same time, this will inevitably refine the love interaction between the two and make the relationship between them more believable.

Dugu Yue’s psychological state at each stage was not shown in detail. Therefore, the love that Ma Lanxing gained after gaining hope from him was combined with her limited face-to-face communication and more When it comes to just "watching and accepting", there is no expressive power at all. Ma Lanxing's emotional expression to Dugu Yue was too short, lacking an unfolding process, and the "result" was too rigid when it came out. At the same time, Dugu Yue's background is not reflected in his actions in detail, and the character transformation is equally stiff. The cause of all this and the side effects of "fragmented joke telling" cannot be ignored.

Furthermore, the entire human group behind Ma Lanxing has the same problem. They gain hope from Dugu Yue, but due to too few acting scenes, their appearance is often accompanied by "simple watching", and their own reactions are relatively simple. They feel happy when they see hope, and feel depressed when they see hope disappear. However, depending on the evolution stage of the movie, their reactions may have more levels of possibility.

Because of despair, the elder brother could not answer the question about "Green Sapling", the idol also took off the headgear that decorated his appearance, the senior fitter sealed his finger, and one person wanted to commit suicide; because of the false hope of seeing "The People's Hero Dugu Yue" , they gained a moment of inspiration; because Ma Lanxing exposed the lie of the hero Dugu Yue, they fell into despair again; because of Dugu Yue's final rise, they once again returned to real hope.

Even among the human group, there is actually a corresponding element: at the beginning, they took "Dugu Yue's return to the earth" as their hope and motivation, and the core was "to survive in such a harsh environment." "In the end, Dugu Yue failed to return to the earth, but became a hero who sacrificed for mankind. This made them give up the civilian idea of ??"just survive" and work hard for life. They no longer lived underground, but It is the courage to go to the surface, rebuild the glorious human civilization, and make yourself a "hero" like Dugu Yue. In the finished film, the sky turns blue after Dugu Yue saves the earth, and the reconstruction of human civilization on earth at the end seems to convey the promotion of this "non-common heroic spiritual power", and also corresponds to Dugu Yue's greeting on the moon. The "soul" of the astronauts. However, the human group is completely "audience-oriented" most of the time, so that their own emotional expression is not rich enough, and they only mechanically make simple reactions of "hopeful, happy, hopeless, and frustrated." All these arguments are impossible to achieve. 4. Some of the issues that the Mahua team has always dealt with, some of which were thrown out very bluntly

For example, the appearance of Gangzi, Duguyue's family, and his love for Ma Lanxing appeared so clearly. They are all relatively simple and straightforward, with strong functional orientation and not natural enough in narrative advancement. In addition, what is more important is that as a civilian to a hero, Dugu Yue went from "choosing to go home to save his life and failed" at the beginning, to "choosing to go home to save his life and almost succeeded", to finally "sacrifice his life to save others" ", the final "hero" stage lacks some rigor - in fact, the choice he faces is far from extreme. There is no "go home and save your life" and "don't go home and turn to attack meteorites. The polarizing choice of "losing your life", even if you choose to ignore the meteorite and return to the earth, it is still very likely that the entire human race will perish and you will also lose your life. Therefore, in the final choice, Dugu Yue did not actually get the option of "saving his life". His initiative to sacrifice was somewhat weakened, and it could not be compared with the "failure/success" of "saving his life" as a civilian.
