Watching the Chinese romantic movie Love is Beautiful is like watching a
sitcom, blinking, then realizing that you’re now watching a political thriller.
It features Lei Zhengyu, (Dylan Kuo) a photographer who meets Qian Xiaofei, (Liu Ying) who works in
this company. They meet and sparks predictably fly… then it turns into this
weird action/kidnap thing that makes little sense.
The shift in tone is extremely jarring and made me confused.
What was going on? Why was this happening? It’s as if the writers ran out of
ideas halfway through and did something for the sake of doing something.
Technically the film has no problems, with little
videogame-inspired effects and sounds especially in the second half of the
film.
It’s nice, but I honestly lost track 30 minutes in.
