This film is adapted from the comic book of the same name "Beauty is Sad" which sold 300,000 copies in South Korea. Hannah (Jin Yazhong), the heroine, has a huge physique that is not inferior in wrestling. In order to win her sweetheart and dignity, she underwent a comprehensive plastic surgery, and then the storm continued, and the scene was ghostly and full of jokes, which made people laugh. In fact, "Beauty is also troubled" is still a comedy route that is close to the people. It is inevitable that the fat girl will become a beautiful sister after plastic surgery, and finally find the stereotyped structure of Prince Charming's fame. But these seemingly uninspiring and familiar plot designs, in the hands of Korean director Jin Ronghua, have the effect of turning decay into magic. At the same time, it also conforms to the principle of Hollywood: "You don't have to be novel, you don't have to be surprising. As long as the rhetoric is used well, it will still produce fine products! "
Beauty and Trouble not only tells the story of beauty, but also focuses on the heroine Jin Yazhong. According to Jin Yazhong, she is an ordinary Korean beauty with a height of 1.70m and a weight of 48kg. Her long hair is fluffy and curly, her eyes are flickering, and her sexy lips, especially her gentle and graceful figure, are quite attractive. In fact, she still smells like a vase in essence, but Hannah and Jin Yazhong, who are naive, sad, embarrassed and a little silly after plastic surgery, are too close to the characters in terms of appearance and temperament, and the story is smooth, humorous and smooth, guiding the audience to follow the beautiful shadow of Jin Yazhong's constant dressing, thus guessing the future fate of the characters without feeling visual fatigue.
It can be inferred that whether Hannah was embarrassed when facing her sweetheart or embarrassed and shy after the crash, Jin Yazhong grasped the role, which was both exaggerated and sincere. It's really good to play, send and receive freely, make her laugh, and even any action in the play is extremely cute and quite brilliant. Personally, I like the sentence "Do you know what it's like to hide your love?" Expressions and words are full of characters' helplessness to fate. )
At the last climax, Hannah cried and told the truth to the audience. The whole play just follows the Korean sensational principle, and uses the fate of several protagonists to firmly grasp the hearts of the audience, which not only sublimates the main plot, but also makes Jin Yazhong's performance more touching.
Just to mention a tidbit, Jin Yazhong, who was originally mediocre, not only became famous and became a top performer in an instant, but also her three songs, the theme songs Maria, Two Episodes and Star and Pretty Woman, entered the top ten of Korean music charts, making a sensation. This shows that the Korean Wave effect brought by Beauty Also Worries is really good! Of the three songs, I prefer Pretty Woman because I feel more cheerful and fresh.
It is worth mentioning that the photography of "beauty is also troublesome" is colorful. The opening is like the fantastic emerald green background of Angel Emily and The Abandoned Life of Pine Nuts, which is bright enough. Everyone wears bright colors, such as red, orange, blue, green and yellow, which is very different from traditional Korean movies in the past. Beauty and trouble are so colorful! The richness of colors coincides with the identity of comedy, but at the end of the concert, the scene of red lights and unrestrained fireworks completely plunged the film into a happy, harmonious and comfortable atmosphere.
In addition, as a makeup artist, Chris is an expert specially invited from Hollywood. This gentleman has played a great role in TV series X Files, CSI American Crime Scene Forensics, the movie Killing with a Knife and other famous works, and designed a set of "fat man costume" for Jin Yazhong, which can even turn a slim beauty into a big fat man with several hundred pounds in one fell swoop, and the effect is comparable to Slim Men and Women and Big Guys. It can also be seen from the films such as "Hanjiang Monster" and "Beauty is also troubled" that Korean filmmakers are bent on internationalization.
However, for "beauty is also troublesome", it is more close to the people. After all, people are busy with their work all day, and what they like most after dinner is comedy. Therefore, director Jin Ronghua's attitude is decent. This gentleman's previous work "Oh! "Brothers" has shown impressive intelligence for a long time, and this film not only has a ghost horse bridge that laughs heartily, but also reveals the theme motto at a critical moment, which is not frivolous and commendable.
It's a little pity that at the beginning of "Beauty Also Worries", there is still a common problem in Korean movies-procrastination. Hannah's cold reception due to obesity makes the design of the bridge deliberately write unfortunate characters, which is a bit long. It wasn't until Steve's plastic surgery was successful that Jin Yazhong showed his true colors and the film really began to play. The excitement gradually continued, and the rhythm behind it became smooth with the music and songs. Joo Jin Mo, the leading actor, played a handsome young man from Samurai and Love Sketch to Beauty also Sorrow. Although the quality of several plays is ok, it always seems that he can't play his excellent acting skills, which is a bit like a male vase.
Although "Beauty also has troubles" is not an absolute classic handed down from ancient times, and the social cosmetic problems described in the humorous part of the whole film are not surprising at all, it is coincidental that the director's surname is Jin, and Jin Ronghua is more natural and closer to the real world, which makes people feel deeper after the anti-concept.
I think there is always the concept of "judging people by their appearances". Not to mention the upsurge of cosmetic surgery in Korea, how many people have deliberately changed their faces in order to find a certain goal since ancient times?
In fact, the details of a person's "beauty" and "ugliness" do not depend entirely on his appearance, but those neglected inner beauty and behavioral beauty are often the most beautiful places of a person. Hannah was born ugly, but she didn't find that her sweetheart had long liked her essential beauty. Instead, she made herself beautiful and elegant, but in turn found herself becoming more secular in order to get close to her boyfriend, gradually ignoring all kinds of real "beauty" such as family friendship. When all true "beauty" is rejected, all that remains is an empty shell.
Fortunately, the heroine still has the courage to distinguish right from wrong, so she still told the audience the truth about her plastic surgery on the stage. Hannah finally won back the real "beauty" and made her a beautiful girl!
