Recently, the topic of Hong Kong-produced films, apart from “Fate of the Road” and “Tomorrow’s War”, is probably “Ama Has A Second”. With the names of Jiang Tao and Liu Yingting, and with Peng Xiuhui, who immediately became popular in “29+1”, the film became a Hong Kong-style sketch literary film. myth. Even if you are “Ginger Candy” or “Liu Liu Fan”, Peng Xiuhui’s consistent narrative style still oozes a touch of drama, and when she writes about the helplessness and contradictions at different stages of her life, people who come here will definitely resonate. Just like “The Edge of the Mountain”, I’m glad to see that this is really a pure Hong Kong-made film, with a sticky plot and familiar actors, writing a story that belongs to Hong Kong, which shows that Hong Kong-made films can still get out of the framework of non-co-production films. own way.
Mao Shunyun’s acting skills exploded
The story of “Ama Has A Second” tells the story of Mei Feng, a former popular gold medal manager who became a husband and raised her son after semi-retirement. She lived a normal life but could not find a way out, and her marriage life fell into a low ebb, and she and her son became strangers. One day, Meifeng meets Fang Qing, a new star with superb singing and dancing skills, and serves as a manager for him to return to the arena. Apart from making Fang Qing popular, Meifeng also finds a direction in life, but it makes her relationship with her son even worse. The title “Ama Has A Second” does not mean that “Ama” has another lover, it’s just that “Ama” has another son. This is a work that celebrates women and mother’s love. If it was released a few months earlier, it would not be an exaggeration to be a “Mother’s Day Movie”. Peng Xiuhui once again elaborated on women’s thoughts, writing about what a woman would encounter at different ages, with sincere and charming emotions. Even though most of the audience came in or watched the MIRROR two boys, the focus was really on the story of this “grandmother”: she used to be beautiful, retired at the peak of her life and was willing to be a little teacher, but as she got older, she began to feel Bewildered. Mao Shunyun played the role of a grandmother, and once again showed acting skills at the post-film level. The scenes with many emotional fluctuations were accurate, and even the male audience felt the same in the kitchen scene.
The emotional balance of multiple branch lines is appropriate
The movie has many different branches, whether it is “grandmother”, two sons, or even the supporting characters around them, all of them have a certain role. These characters are all burdened with tragic sadness, and they will become sensational if they are not careful. I am glad to see that Peng Xiuhui knows how to deal with the characters in her own writing, and she is still calm and comfortable, without squeezing the audience’s tears, and she can still be moved to their hearts; everyone from conflict to open heart, emotional transitions are naturally revealed, no matter which character is. There is no obvious overnight feud, and the emotional layers progress to the last moment, and everything can be released.
There is no trace of holding newcomer movies
This is definitely a movie that “holds new people”, and I like to see that the movie is not as abrupt as “Fake Girl Group”. This is not only a female story, but also a story of chasing dreams and growing up in a family. Through a youthful and inspirational way, it tells the growth of the two new actors on and off the screen. “You look good at me, I look good at you”, no matter how beautiful everyone looks on the outside, there is always a side that others can’t see inside. No matter what you experience, the most important thing is to know how to accept yourself, otherwise it will be difficult for others to accept you. This detail is enough to make the two sub-lines have their own overtones, and you can rest assured that the movie also arranges a lot of Jiang Tao’s personal performances, and fans also have a place to scream. Compared with “29+1”, there is indeed room for improvement in rhythm control, and the middle section feels too long, but it is more than qualified if it is made as a “newcomer” movie.
