a review of 傻钱
Movie · Review
Dumb Money (2023)I'm being a bit generous here because I have to admit I (virtually) walked out on this movie within the first half hour because I could not fucking stand it any more. I pretty much never do that. Because of this, I can't judge it on plot, but I can describe some of what was that bad: Tons of teeny text on the screen. I get it, you want to make it look all documentary-ish, but text needs to be big enough that I don't need to squint (on a big screen TV!) to see what it is, and should be used SPARINGLY. Show, don't tell, and definitely don't expect the audience to read the damn film. I don't need to agree with the filmmaker's musical choices ( laughed a bit at WAP showing up over an early scene) , but sound levels are important. Do not pitch the volume so high that it's obnoxiously loud as soon as the music starts when a moment ago it was only just loud enough to hear dialogue.
