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.
Another rare dark comedy, this A Cool Fish has a really fantastic cast. In particular, the performances of Binlong Pan and Yu Zhang are just stunning and memorable. However, the screenplay and editing falls short compared to those of Crazy Stone. There are too many coincidences and the plot lacks credibility. The editing is also somehow artificial and contrived.
In the lazy afternoon, I watched the film with tears and laughter. Especially at the end of the film, when the brilliant fireworks set off the black and white confession, the tears are hard to control.I was moved by ordinary people or people struggling on the edge of ruin. Several people with different fates had been misunderstood, ridiculed and banished in order to prove themselves in reality. But they were pulled together by "love" and aroused their desire and courage to live. It is worth seeing ...
Taking photo for the girl is abrupt,the director didn't handle well.
Beneath the surface of absurd comedy, film is the bitter core. The little people who are struggling at the bottom of society are crushed by fate, their hopes and dignity broken, their inner desires crumpled and discarded at will. In this gray world, the heart's desire is insignificant. Unknown men who live in the depths of the ocean struggle to swim to the light of the sea.
