The score of "Fatman" dropped to 3.6 three days after its release: not only stupid but also bad

Since its release, the ratings of "Fatty Action Team" have been declining. On the third day of its release, the Douban score has dropped to 3.6 points. As a likable comedy, it is annoying to watch, which is also a skill of new directors.

The current score of "Fatty Action Team" on Douban is the lowest among the new films released during the National Day this year.

Fat people and agents, two seemingly opposing elements, can indeed create a comedic effect, but Bao Beier, who was directing for the first time, seemed to have messed up.

From the plot setting, the two fat guys played by Bao Beier and Wen Zhang are a good-for-nothing with a sense of justice and aspiration to be a hero, and a real agent who gained weight due to hormone imbalance after being injured. However, the lives and personalities of the two characters are not established, and the obstacles in basic actions are just "stuck", stuck in doors, windows, chairs... and the kindness, wit and sense of justice that the protagonists should show are completely due to various blind cats meeting dead mice in the existing plot.

Acting ugly, stupid, crazy, and gay, stacking vulgar and repetitive jokes constitute a terrible viewing experience for this nearly two-hour movie. Because it is neither funny, nor believable, nor meaningful... Since the National Day, the ticket price has not been cheap, and this movie is really just an eye-sore.

If Bao Beier and Wen Zhang really want to learn from the determination of the leading actor of the movie "Shadow" to change his body shape, Deng Chao lost 40 catties in a month. Do you dare to sacrifice 50 catties for art? It is easier to gain weight than to lose weight.

If you want to test the special effects makeup skills of domestic films, I would like to say that I was only in primary school when Johnnie To's "Slimming Men and Women" came out. At that time, watching Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng in fat costumes was indeed a surprise selling point. Not to mention the naivety of breaking through themselves, there was also touching true feelings. At that time, the level of the two kings and queens, dressing up as fresh fat costumes was enough to attract people's attention.

If we really talk about special effects technology, it is really disappointing. In today's world where all kinds of visual effects are so advanced, the two of them made an "action movie". Throughout the performance, only the facial expressions moved, and the whole face was like a solid silicone bun inflated. The muscles and fat in the cheeks were not affected at all. So when watching the movie, I always felt that the actors had no expression on their faces most of the time. They didn't even put on special effects makeup for their hands. In contrast to their huge bodies, their hands were as thin as chicken feet. The proportions of their entire bodies were seriously uncoordinated. Do they have any professionalism at all?

In fact, the two actors, especially Bao Beier, look fat even if they try hard. If they eat more, they can save a lot of money for the movie.

If we want to talk about inspiration, we have to compare fat people with losers, as if being fat is the original sin, which makes people uncomfortable. If the world is really full of malice towards fat people, the movie will use a tone of "come on, be pretentious" to exaggerate it to the point of complacency, as if fat people deserve to be laughed at, fat people should be unable to fart, and fat people should be unable to take care of themselves at any time. These comedy gags are not useless, but the pants were taken off at least five times. As a comedy director, it is really lame to have such a lack of creativity.

The movie heavily uses all the stereotypes about fat people, and the inner characterization of fat people is just a few words of "inferiority" and "being looked down upon". You say that a fat security guard with inferiority complex wants to change his fate by doing good deeds, can't you give him some basic IQ? A random person came to beat up medical staff and wanted to escape from the hospital, and he volunteered to see that he was an agent. You have to follow a stranger to save the world, just because he is a fat person like you! Is this fat spreading into the brain?

The reason why this movie has such a low rating is that it really makes people angry. Watching such a movie can make you feel that the logic behind the entire creation is not only stupid, but also bad. And this stupidity and badness are unconscious, with a sense of superiority.

Maybe someone will say that thin people usually save the world and no one thinks there is anything special to discuss, so why are fat people so fragile? Well, let's take away the fatness and see if this movie can be established. A hospital security guard found another patient trying to escape. After he caught the other person, he found out that he was an agent. Without knowing the truth and the other person not agreeing, he followed the other person all the way and really found the traces of drug dealers. Not to mention that the agent was caught by the security guard, it was unreasonable to be followed by the security guard casually. Along the way, the agent continued to show extraordinary stupidity, but the medical staff still did not leave him and acted as his guardian angel, and at the same time, he turned a blind eye to the behavior of others coveting his wife. The drug crime group is almost weak and vulnerable, and the transaction scene is as casual as selling cabbage. The process does not show the ferocity and cruelty that an agent should face. Everything is like playing. Except for the weight of the protagonist, everything else is as light as a feather.

Is such a naive and illogical story enough to be made into a movie?

I remember many movies with fat characters as the main characters. Fat characters can be confident and cute, warm and generous, self-deprecating and self-reflective, or casual and easy-going. They can work hard to lose weight and become a potential stock and make a stunning comeback, or they can rely on their talent to attract people without caring about their appearance and spirit. However, it is really tiring for us fat people to watch such a completely illogical and unconvincing action line, which relies entirely on the "fat" plot to provide a stage for laughter throughout the whole process.
