Film Name: 祝你幸福！ / Enjoy yourself
Coincidentally, this year’s mid-autumn release of several significant new films, are related to the theme of marriage and child-rearing anxiety (“Stand By Me” “Like A Rolling Stone”), and in this “fear of marriage and child-rearing trilogy,” “Enjoy yourself” is undoubtedly the most powerful, the most powerful one I’m not sure how I feel about this movie, but I’m not sure how I feel about this movie.
My attitude towards this movie is quite complicated: objectively, it does have the foundation of a good movie, with excellent performances, unique perspectives, and rich coverage, especially focusing on the pain of losing a family and the pressure of women’s fertility; but subjectively, I really can’t like it, as the movie stacks up too much pain for its own overflowing theme, and the theme is scattered and overdone, which belongs to the purely heart-breaking… …
In terms of content, “Enjoy Yourself” is very good at “rubbing social hotspots”, with sensitive topics such as the cooling-off period for divorce, single families, in-laws’ conflicts, and pressure to give birth, etc. The movie touches on these sensitive topics, and the character settings and plot conflicts are designed to be quite fulfilling (and even a bit extreme).
Moreover, there are a few points in the movie that are really well-told, such as the part about fertility issues, including the daily anxiety of the female protagonist Bai Hui before and after giving birth to a child and her misery after losing the child, and the dilemma of Ran Ran in being pampered by her husband as much as possible, but still suffering from the invisible pressure and anxiety, coupled with the three families around frozen embryos and other corresponding accompanying issues, we can fully see the double burden of physiological and psychological burden that it brings to the family, especially the woman. We can get a good glimpse of the double burden it brings to families, especially women, both physically and psychologically.
However, I really don’t like the presentation of “Enjoy Yourself”, which is like a combination of the most eye-catching and tragic family tragedies pulled out and integrated together, as if this is the only way to make more impact, and the result is that the theme is seriously out of focus. ……
Not to mention the small points, the film includes at least three major themes of marriage, loss of unity, childbirth, they seem inseparable, but there is still a clear difference in the movie, one or two shot well means that the rest of the shot is false, the power of its original will be discounted.
I’m not against tragedy or refusing to cry, but more than half of Enjoy Yourself is filled with miserable, negative scenes, and several characters are either crying, preparing to cry, or enticing the audience to cry, so the ratio between tension and relaxation is clearly out of proportion! .
This feeling is like a chef who knows what seasonings are good for cooking and puts them into a dish, leaving aside whether the final flavor is good or not, the customers will snore to death first. ……
Of course, I do not rule out the possibility that some people just like to watch this kind of heavy flavorful film, so I do not casually and easily recommend or do not recommend it, I hope you know.
