Just over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state. Romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept and was not allowed during this period. Wedding photography (if any at all) consisted of one black and white passport photo of the couple (dressed in Mao- style outfits) as proof of the marriage. Now, China has fallen in love with love and its exploding wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars, and it is on an upward curve. Pre-wedding photography is one of the most significant and curious parts of the industry. Every couple marrying in China will take part in a pre-wedding shoot. It involves several costume and backdrop changes where you can become a character in any fantasy you choose. For the most exotic lo- cations couples pay up to $250,000 AUD. Pre-wedding photo shoots have become an important national ritual. They are proof of the marriage but now also of love, romance, freedom, status, money and the new China Dream. As an expat living in Shanghai with a long history of coming to China, Sinophile photographer Olivia Mar- tin-McGuire was captivated by the construction of dreams through this booming photographic world. Once she started to delve deeper into this new traditional she found a unique window into China. One that revealed a country dreaming, a country rapidly booming and a country reconstructing its recent past trauma all through their own lens. China Love takes us on a wild journey into the warmth of the family web in China into the hearts of our characters and into their personal dreams with an understanding of why and where these aspirations come from. The project explores China's new position as a globalised country from its restrictive and highly traditional past - through the window of its booming wedding industry and asks what is the new China Dream when it comes to love.
91/100。我最初是冲着利物浦和啾迪来的，啾迪果然没有让我失望，片中也有很多与利物浦（足球俱乐部）相关的台词和服饰。（啾迪饰演的角色是埃弗顿球迷，难道她是埃弗顿球迷吗！）不过抛开这些不谈，这部电影也绝对是一部值得五星的片子。这是我看过的第一部有关新冠疫情的电影，我也大受震撼。影片真实地反映了新冠疫情下的英国，真实得让观众很容易代入进去，尤其是中间的长镜头让人窒息。灯光的运用、镜头的聚焦也独具匠心。另外感情线的安排我也觉得没有问题，男主很明显是一见钟情，通过女主的家境和经历也能看出她多么珍惜一个好人。结尾的安排巧妙而不落俗套。很开心我能有幸看到这么一部电影。
看的中途多次觉得太intense了，tony被戴上口罩的那一刻我感觉马上要窒息了。
中半小时疫情来袭，环视疗养院应急处理的无序，特写隔离时期的无助情绪。
7.8 这是一个有点浪漫诗意的电影 却带着让人刺痛的现实 男女主的演技为这部影片加分太多 “这就是这个国家的现在的运作方式 对不该我们管的事情视而不见” 这句话深刻扎心却又无可奈何
nobody is coming.医疗体系崩溃真是太绝望了
we need someone to unveil the overlooked.
结尾的大段发泄的台词拉垮了前面的全部气氛… 也带垮了整个电影的质感。全片基本上都是受限且不稳定视角，紧张焦虑的感觉铺陈的蛮好的，中间kenny临死前一大段长镜头拍摄，女主表现很赞… 护理员主管和老爸戏份很少但是人物塑造立得住，配角性格戏份都立得住，不知道为什么反倒是男主女主的革命友谊如此突兀。！可惜得很 小变态真是成长了。比杀死伊芙时候更流畅了
前面五颗星，后面两颗星。情节推进到带着男子逃走太过于刻意了。倘若情节推动到了，倒也是能接受。假如到最后男子得到了适当的安置却忘了她，我觉得主题会更深刻一些。喜欢这里面的一些镜头语言。
镜头打一开始就很压抑，节奏有种刻意的凌乱。叙事的时间线很简单，推进很快，高潮在一瞬间爆发，结尾像是一种呐喊。五星是因为电影讲出了一种真实。总有阳光照不到的地方，但同样需要被人看到。
他们英国都拍电影来说病毒的危害了，但为啥还不以为然。。

A solid 8. 除了飞越疯人院情节稍微突然，关于新冠的以小见大和绝望拍的真好
情节和篇幅略显简陋，对白口音那真的重啊~
抛开讽刺政府的部分，在疫情背景下讲一个真正关于人的故事依然很难得，别国比咱们拍出了更有人味的抗疫电影
有人权的地方一直揭露和反思，假装把人当回事儿的地方只爱着急歌颂。
噩运骤然来袭，在彼时人们的面前，尤其是对前线医护工作人员而言，是一种未知的、庞然的恐惧。更甚者，上层讳莫如深，底层奉为牺牲。阴暗也好，残酷也罢。都是无可奈何的事。文学改编或者影视化呈现，应该更加实事求是。一次群体的疾苦，是已然造成的摧残事件，用人们的创伤去歌功颂德，是对遭殃人群的漠视与冷血。或许是因为本片中运用的长镜头及低鸣压抑的配乐，多次令人联想起《女人的碎片》，同样有一种莫名的怏然之感。沉默、苍白。｜7.0
这只是电影，所以结局可以拍得这样荒唐，在这样的境遇下，就是想“逃”而已——从人的本心出发表述人最真实的想法；并没有记录轰轰烈烈的伟大，只是想告诉幸存者们逝者的痛苦，不要忘记悲伤和狼狈的政府。
压抑绝望，聚焦新冠疫情不需要视角广立意高，能让人感同身受的永远是每一个普通人的遭遇和经历。（观影时间：2021年9月26日；自评：7.7；推荐指数：★★★★）
