The idea of ”It’s just a comedy so don’t take it too seriously”
My wife unexpectedly invited me to watch the latest Chinese comedy and I settled in for what turned out to be quite the experience!Ma Chenggang, master of self-deprecating humor, presents The Truman Show Chinese style! It seems like he and directors Da-Mo Peng and Fei Yan expected us to check our brains at the door and accept child abuse as funny. crashes as the audience, struggling with life’s difficulties, seeks a brief escape from their burdens for two hours.
The film exhibits its fair share of creative flaws, but unfortunately viewers are more impressed by the 4K visuals than any meaningful narrative structure
The story revolves around two hours of parental betrayal while raising their child in a controlled open prison, culminating in a rather clichéd ending that focuses on a father’s love and duty. When all criticism and introspection is stifled and the idea that “wealth equals the father’s worth” pervades the film, we are left to wonder how to face our reality when we leave the theater. One striking factor is the alarming nature of Chinese-style education, where parents feel obligated to impose a strict education on their children in order to they would become successful.

Philosophy “Only through difficulties can one become a master”. What about those who are less fortunate? Is it realistic to expect everyone to succeed as predators in a competitive society?
Can you really make sure you’re not a catch?
The description of the mother is reduced only to the womb and does not have a significant impact on the story. Li Ma’s performance as Chunlan was classy, but her character had no impact on the progression of the plot. At the end of the day, this movie feels like a commercial comedy with no real social message value.
