First, my love is really disappointing in the plot.
After the release of "My Love", there was a lot of spit on the Internet. Many netizens think that this movie is too emotional and divorced from reality, just like those young and painful literature, which also makes the overall plot unable to make the audience feel substituted. Moreover, although the main theme of this movie is campus love, many netizens who took their boyfriends and girlfriends to see this movie said that they were a little embarrassed when watching it. It can be seen that my love story is really disappointing, which also affects the reputation of this film.
Second, Above the Cliff plays a stable role.
As Zhang Yimou's new film, Above the Cliff inherits Zhang Yimou's consistent style, which brings a very good viewing experience to the audience, both in the rhythm of the plot and the presentation of the picture. Coupled with a group of excellent actors, it also adds a lot of color to this film. Moreover, judging from the plot and overall viewing experience, both Zhang Yimou's directing ability and the actor's performance in Above the Cliff can be described as stability. Under this kind of stability, the whole film will make the audience feel very comfortable, and it will also make the audience excited about the plot, which won a good reputation, and even many netizens spontaneously recommended the film online. This shows that this film is really excellent.
Generally speaking, the word-of-mouth of My Love is not as good as that of Above the Cliff, mainly because of the plot.
