"A Cool Fish" is the tale of two would-be criminals and an ex-cop trying to prove themselves in order to change their unfortunate lots in life with no idea how interconnected the lives of everyone they know have become. With the exception of a single dumb gag near the beginning, the rest of the movie treats the audience respectfully using believable and relatable characters who find themselves in both touching and humorous situations, ultimately leading to a refreshingly unpredictable ending. A bonus "what happened next" during the credits gives a sense of conclusion for anyone who prefer stories which end a bit more definitively.
The script is better, but there are good movies made in China. Garrich's multi-line narrative is still useful in comedy, especially in domestic comedy. As long as the plot is reasonable and the conflict points are delicate, the plot can be relieved. This film should be classified as the plot, the farce to female incontinence is basically over, the latter is more about the pursuit of the lower class of society and its realization of the hardship. Movies can be used to give a happy ending, but in reality life is not so simple. So, the drama is awkward, do not want to make a scene in the end but did not go deep.
I chose this movie to see only because I want to find some fun to kill time in a bored afternoon. At first, I really did laugh a lot. Then I couldn't help crying for many times while watching the rest of the movie. Every characters were funny. But I could not laugh at them. Instead, I felt deep sympathy about them. In Chinese, "wu ming zhi bei" means a person lives in the bottom of the society. Such a person isn't worthy a penny for his name. In this movie, the security guard, the two thieves, and the lady on the wheelchair, they were all small persons. But they still fought and struggled against the destiny.
In addition, the episode song sang by the guitar player was very very fair-sounding. I chose this song as my cellphone's bell for a long time.
Taking photo for the girl is abrupt,the director didn't handle well.
The actors and actresses performed really well in this movie, the leading lady part showed us how to act without body language.
