What do you think of Donkey Gets Water ?

Based on the original drama's own solid and neat script, and strong dramatic tension, the big movie has added more meat jokes to make baggage and laughter, making this absurd and satirical black comedy even richer. The line skills of the stage actors are amazing, and the story line of the female teacher is the most complete. Personally, I feel that it is funnier than Charlotte and worth pondering, but the fly in the ointment is that the traces of the drama are heavier and the sense of cinema is insufficient.

The whole feeling of the movie "Donkey Gets Water" to me is that it is too depressing, although there are many laughs in this drama, but I think it is very meaningful, it makes everyone who watches the movie fall into thinking. That is. These movie actors have really good acting skills, and this movie is generally the kind of movie with a small investment and a big return, and it has a high rating.

Happy Twist's second movie, compared with the nonsensical and funny of "Charlotte's Troubles", this film takes the road of black humor, so it seems to have a higher style, and there is a bit of literary temperament in business. The first half of the film makes people laugh constantly, and the second half makes people cry. It's really as the advertising slogan says, this is a joke that makes ** cry.

And the use of the original cast of the drama and the absence of big-name stars is also quite respectable.

This work,I think it's still very funny.,The hero in it does bring us a lot of happiness.,And his clever way of fighting.,It's also refreshing.。

At the time of "Donkey Gets Water", I didn't treat it as a very interesting movie, he was talking about a tragedy of life, which was very real and exaggerated, and used comedy to render our lives.

There is only one Chinese film that has the courage to write an overall fable for contemporary Chinese history, especially the history of the Chinese masses after 49 years. This play is the level of Dario Fo. It is not a satire about a certain class, but a pot of soup made of false idealism and dark and filthy personal desires, in which the whole of China is drowned.

Very punctual black humor and absurd rural magical realism, the tone of the whole movie is very sprinkled, the jokes are very meaty, the road is very wild, the story has the flavor of Maupassant, irony and metaphor, the last time people felt these viewing experiences was "Killing" that year. Overall, it is a comedy worth watching, and the rustiness of the new director's technique and the imbalance in information processing can be forgiven.

A school with broken mountains and rivers, a rebellious headmaster, a man who is silent, a casual and uninhibited woman, a young man who seems to be full of enthusiasm but collapses in an instant under authoritarian authority, and a coppersmith ...... who is treacherous when he has a little knowledgeIsn't the film's metaphor and irony strong enough? It seems that the little girl is the only one who understands, but she defected to Yan'an.

I thought that "Charlotte's Troubles" was an old-fashioned urban light comedy, but it turned out to be too deep, and I was a little uncomfortable for more than an hour. Fortunately, in the end, Zhang Yiman, who no longer spoke, made this tragic story of frivolity, madness and madness have warmth and sadness. "I want beautiful clothes, for you to be appliquéd yellow in the mirror".

The situation setting is preemptive, the mountain drums are getting more and more exciting, the actors' outbursts are very accurate, and the movie is really good.

From the drama stage to the big screen, "Donkey Gets Water" has been polished for five years and honed by hundreds of performances, with solid quality, wonderful and ingenious stories, unconventional jokes, and impeccable performances, which have made the audience praise.

The commendable thing about this movie is that it allows us to see more possibilities for domestic comedy movies, and comedy movies can only be all the way hahaha, but also have attitudes and thoughts, and after watching the laughter, the heart seems to have been punched.

Synopsis

A group of university teachers with "bad conduct" but dreams of education have come from big cities to remote villages to open a school. The school is miserable and life is hard, but the teachers are happy and laugh and laugh every day.

However, the news that the Ministry of Education commissioner was coming to raid the peace broke the peace, because there was a "donkey teacher" at the school who was hiding an ulterior secret. Just when everyone was worried that the scandal was about to be revealed, a magical genius appeared to save everyone, but who would have thought that the real trouble had just begun.

"Donkey Gets Water".'s plot tells a story of "hooligans are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated".

Naturally, "Donkey Gets Water" has its irony, black humor.

The so-called intellectuals.

The ugly and greedy mouth under that sanctimonious dignity is frank and honest, the upper class.

Not on the outside. 1. The authoritarianism of using power for personal gain, the ignorance and greed of the people at the bottom... To name a few, "Donkey Gets Water" is undoubtedly using the past to satirize the present;

This "ancient" is the year 1942 when "Donkey Gets Water" moved the background of the event, as for its "irony of the present", from a certain point of view, it is actually consistent with the main theme of the current society, it does not have too jumpy left-leaning posture, and the grip is only a kind of implication at best, or a normal state of life, but it just wears an extra mask;

Therefore, "Donkey Gets Water" has its conservatism, of course, this conservatism is not the same as a total compromise, and from a certain level, it also shows a sense of powerlessness based on reality.

Phase section letter slag off information:

At the beginning of 2009, Zhou Shen and his friends had dinner and talked about a story: in a place where there was a shortage of water, there was a school that raised a donkey to carry water, but no one was willing to pay for raising a donkey, so the principal falsely reported the donkey as a teacher named "Lu Deshui", and used the salary of "Teacher Lu Deshui" to raise donkeys;

When the superior leaders came to inspect and wanted to see this Teacher Lu, everyone could only make up all kinds of excuses to prevaricate. The dinner was just a casual chat, and Zhou Shen realized that this was a good story theme, so he and his creative partner Liu Lu that day.

They discussed it together and decided to expand it into a movie outline. In 2010, Zhou Shen completed the text of the script of the film "Donkey Gets Water" and applied for the copyright of the written work.

In 2011, a micro-film called "Donkey Gets Water" appeared on the Internet, the short film borrowed the content of part of the script, but did not shoot the essence, which made Zhou Shen realize that the real "Donkey Gets Water" must be set up immediately. However, compared to making a movie, it is obviously much faster to schedule a drama. In 2012, Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, who were professional in theater directors, began to adapt "Donkey Gets Water" into a drama script.

In 2014, I participated in the happy twist.

At an actor's wedding, he met Mr. Zhang, a happy twist, and found that they also made movies, so they began to cooperate in the filming of the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

1, the situation setting is preemptive, the alpine drums are getting more and more exciting, the actors' outbursts are very accurate, and the movie is really good-looking (Shi Hang, Shen Teng commented).

2. From the drama stage to the big screen, "Donkey Gets Water" has been polished for five years and honed by hundreds of performances, with solid quality, wonderful and ingenious stories, unconventional jokes, and impeccable performances, which have made the audience praise (Netease Entertainment Review).

3, the commendability of this movie is that it allows us to see more possibilities for domestic comedy movies, comedy movies can not only be all the way hahaha, but also have attitudes and thoughts, and after watching the laughter, the heart seems to have been punched ("Guangzhou**" review).

<>Donkey Gets Water" is a 2016 film work of Happy Twist, adapted from a drama, and the leading actors are also the original starring actors of the drama, which won a high reputation at that time. It tells the story of an elementary school because of financial problems, concealed the upper and lower levels, made a donkey to pretend to be a teacher, and all the staff enjoyed the allowance brought by the donkey, and then the school was sponsored by the Americans, and with more money, things began to get complicated. At this time, everyone is full of desires, and we have staged a good show.

The whole movie is in a warm yellow and warm tone, although it happened in the morning sun, it is like a sunset, and there is afterlight but not enough power.

"Fun soundtrack".

Whether it is the scene where the donkey shed catches fire at the beginning, or the scene where the hair is cut, and the scene where Zhang Yiman sings "I Want You", the soundtrack shows a good comedy component.

The donkey shed was on fire, which was originally extremely critical, but it used a joyful tone, and in the same way, Zhang Yiman cut his hair, so sad, and also used a joyful tone. The audience immediately finds the emotional point in the contrast.

"The tension of the actor".

In the scene where the coppersmith's wife scolded Zhang Yiman, the actress was so vivid, as soon as she put it with a smoking gun, the play came out. The scene where everyone insulted Zhang Yiman and scolded him, Lao Fei's one-shot work also let us see his line skills.

Zhang Yiman's role went from being relaxed and lively at the beginning to being in a crazy and daze state after being cut hair, especially when he saw his ugly hair in the mirror, he was stunned for a moment, and then he hid under the table.

"Special Storytelling Script".

There are too many points in this story that reveal reality and deserve our attention. The protection of officials and officials, the misappropriation of funds, the inability to satisfy people's desires, etc., this is not only the problem of the Ministry of Education in the film, this is just a huge microcosm of society.

A dreaming principal wants to develop his own educational career, but he has a cowardly personality; Lao Fei has not been affirmed by Zhang Yiman, arrogant and hesitant; Zhou Tienan was arrogant, but he was scared by the gun and urinated and succumbed to reality; The coppersmith wants to get ahead, and the mask has been worn for a long time, and he doesn't even know who he is... …

But the core of this movie is still a tragedy, a tragedy that exposes the ugliness of human nature, which will make people very sad after watching it, but it also makes people reflect, if you are a character in the play, what would you do? Will he repeat "don't listen to anything, don't care about anything" in the room like a crazy Zhang Yiman?

"Donkey Gets Water" is the least comic comedy movie of Happy Twist.

"Donkey Gets Water" is the second film produced by Happy Twist Pictures, after the success of the first "Charlotte Troubles", the audience is looking forward to Happy Twist can inject new vitality into domestic comedies, and as a result, Happy Twist handed over a confusing answer.

"Drama Scripts" and "Drama-like Performances".

"Donkey Gets Water" is not a comedy movie in the traditional sense, adapted from the script of a drama, and naturally has a more mature script structure, and every laugh and tear seems so appropriate. But it is precisely because the original script is a drama that the actors' performances are more "stage drama-style exaggerations" rather than the "camera-style performances" that ordinary moviegoers are familiar with, which is also a place where many people are not used to this movie.

"Comedy is tragedy at its core".

Advanced comedy doesn't just make people laugh, it makes people think and resonate after laughing. The master of comedy, Charlie Chaplin, is one of them. "Donkey Gets Water" is still passing in this regard, but because it is not a "traditional and pure" comedy, the box office also intuitively reflects that the audience does not buy "high-end comedy" ("Donkey Gets Water" is the lowest-grossing one in the Happy Twist movie series).

Regretful ending".

Compared with the criticized exaggerated "dramatic" performance, what makes me more concerned is the regret at the end, at the end of the film, the contradictions of each line are concentrated at the end of the outbreak, the foreigner is just a simple sentence "incredible China", which is obviously not enough to show the tension of the ending, so I can only let Zhang Yiman commit suicide to raise the height of the ending, which is regrettable.
