Film evaluation

broadcast
EDITOR

Positive comment

The world created by the director Jay Chou in "Rooftop Love" is beautiful without the pollution of money and power, only the most sincere feelings between people - brotherhood, the support of friends and relatives, and the love that is pursued with sincerity. He is using the "prodigal paste" to complete his ideal world characters, living a kind of poor but free urban green forest hero life, he is the representative of people's new urban hero legend, this is Jay Chou wants to show everyone the intention, but also the world is missing a beautiful [16] . ( Tencent Entertainment review )

Negative evaluation

The film does not show any attempt to stylize or deconstruct social relationships in Chou's script, and the only thing he does from beginning to end is to beautify himself through the development of the story and the characterization of the characters. It has no objective and calm perspective at all, and is projected into the story with its own eyes. It lacks empathy and, like Tiny Times, remains essentially a "fan movie."
The songs created by Jay Chou fill the film too much, so that the film seems cluttered, and many of these songs are not in the story line, Jay Chou never thought of using songs to build the story, and the continuity of the plot can only degenerate into scattered gimmicks in the end.
The film is full of obvious contrivances, and apart from the TV in Uncle Bo's house and the coincidence of catching a woman in bed, the course of events is predictable, and you can guess the end when you see the beginning [17] . (Sohu Entertainment review)
