Absurdity of black humor comedy obsessive, think the punchline is higher sense of these were no acosmia joke amused don't don't of, the scene plot and sometimes warm and sometimes dark, the mood also follow ups and downs, naturally compact plot let you call, close range shots and chongqing dialect is undoubtedly a major highlight of the film, when the actors online + score was just right, the subject has a realistic meaning, you will sigh is more than two hours of visual feast. This is a heavy topic, through the packaging of black humor, the life of the little people forced to the last lamenting the real meaning of true love than money jumped on the paper.
My Dear Liar is definitely not Da Peng's finest work, but it is still distinctively his. A not so funny comedy but a heartfelt love story that is elevated by the brilliant work by Liu Yan. Never would I thought that she is able to deliver such a tantalizing performance, morphing herself into a character that is so believable.
This movie essentially begins with a man by the name of "Zhong Zhenjian" (Zixian Zhang) learning that an investigation has just been started which will probably identify him as one of the people responsible for embezzling a huge sum of money from the financial institution where he works. That said, his only chance to avoid going to prison is to somehow replace the stolen money within a few days' time. The problem is, he doesn't have the money. So, in a state of complete panic, he tries to manipulate a friend named "Wu Hai" (Chengpeng Dong) into helping him with an insurance scam that would not only resolve his current situation, but also give Wu Hai the money he desperately needs for his sick child "Yoyo" (Shaobo Zhang). That being said, the plan calls for Wu Hai to marry a woman, get her name on an insurance document--and then turn around and kill her in a supposed accident. What they don't count on, however, is that the woman they choose to kill in the accident by the name of "Yue Miaomiao" (Yan Liu) presents her own set of unique problems which neither of them could have ever possibly imagined. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie started off rather slow and, just when it finally started to get interesting, fizzled out and ended with a thud. That being said, while I'm not really sure what the director (Ao Shen) was trying to achieve, what I do know is that this film wasn't nearly as entertaining as it should have been. To that effect, I honestly cannot rate it any higher than I have. Average.
This is the one which combined with the evilest thinking and the most heart-touched spirit. I have to commit there are still some flaws in the film, but it is an undoubted good movie.
The story of the little person is really easy to touch. The story is straight and flawless. But the critique of reality has been completely abandoned. In the film, in fact, both male characters are floating in the air, but the heroine slowly falls to the audience.
