Long time no see everyone!

I haven’t watched this kind of movie for a long time.

After reading some movie reviews, I thought it would be very sad, and I kept wandering between whether to watch it or not.

Finally I watched it, director Huang Xinyao did not change his true nature of black humor.

Starting from the profound self-irony of the monologue, four men living at the bottom are once again put on the screen.

Four high school classmates have been in society for most of their lives. At the age of forty, they finally achieved nothing. They all ushered in a turning point in their lives and faced major events in their lives.

Following the director's monologue, we gradually got to know these four middle-aged people.

The first one is Wu Mingtian who dreams of becoming a director.

He relies on his wife to support him. He writes scripts during the day and shoots movies in his dreams at night, leaving his wife sleepless all night.

I usually make a living by answering random product advertisements.

He introduced us to Can Can, another good-for-nothing 40-year-old man who even found a job through Wu Mingtian.

During that time, he met a girl. He was so innocent that he maxed out his credit card for her beauty.

The third one is the stammering Shuen. He is in the funeral service industry, making paper houses and luxury cars for customers to burn.

He stammered and laughed at Can Can for having a bad deck of cards, while Wu Mingtian mocked him for looking ugly and going to commit suicide.

Dianfeng was also joking on the sidelines. Among the four people, only Dianfeng was considered capable. However, because of his personality, he had been struggling at the bottom.

The director tells the stories of the four of them, which are things that we think are very common in our daily lives.

It is nothing more than a story about seizing the opportunity to enter politics, a story about remarrying and meeting true love, a story about meeting a down-and-out goddess again, and a story about a frustrated man in the workplace meeting true love.

It talks about things that happen in the lives of ordinary people.

Because of the temptation of power, Wu Mingtian gave up his dream of being a director and became a profit-seeking person.

Even to the extreme, he even went to a friend’s wedding to promote votes, and at a friend’s funeral, he also went to promote votes. He completely lost the friendship of friends and did everything for himself. Get votes.

And his wife, because her husband was about to win the election, suddenly took on a different look. Her domineering attitude soon replaced her original gentleness and consideration.

In the end, even the director himself got angry and entered the scene to beat him.

Sometimes, the democratic system makes me feel weird. It is obviously a democracy, but why does it appear so class-oriented later on?

Junjie was raised by his grandmother when he was a child. When he grew up, in order to take care of his grandmother and because he worked as a funeral service, he never married a wife.

Now that his grandma is ill in bed, he goes to a dating agency to find a marriage partner in order to cheer her up.

In the end, he met a middle-aged woman with a child. When they met for the first time, it was like finding a close friend. Even though he was stuttering and speaking intermittently, the other party could completely guess what he was saying. What, and be able to translate it to the woman’s daughter.

The three of them were at the Peak Square and agreed to live a good life together.

But the good times did not last long for the hard-working and kind-hearted Shuen Jiu, because the revengeful man recognized the wrong person and beat him to death when Shui Jiu was refueling.

Will God really treat our life destiny better because we have good qualities?

Can Can works as a civil affairs investigator and meets his high school goddess again twenty years ago.

The goddess's unbearability made him feel very uncomfortable. The image of the goddess in the past made him unable to face the current situation of the goddess in reality.

He finally had his glass heart broken and cried bitterly while walking on the street.

Dianfeng has a relatively good fortune. He just used his life savings to buy a one-bedroom and one-living house for himself, his mother, and his family that he gained unexpectedly. , live together.

He met his wife while reading comics in Sham Yip because of insomnia.

After watching the whole movie, I felt very uncomfortable. Each of the four of them looked very much like me at a certain stage.

These four stories collide, making people lament the helplessness of life, the ruthlessness of God, and the powerlessness of fate grabbing the throat.

This movie is worth savoring slowly, the characters in it are all real.

The high committee members and the mayor are really as naked a power rhetoric as we can imagine.

Commissioner Gao’s assistant and Wu Mingtian’s wife are really capable people who can adapt to the changing circumstances.

There are many characters and fragments worth pondering.

The attendant at the bathing center was a priest and a guide with the boys and girls.

Closed reflection.

The goddess of cans, classmate Mynas.

The most ironic thing in the movie is the movie dream.

The so-called movie dream and the so-called letting the world see Taiwan are just a set of illusory rhetoric.

When Wu Mingtian was filming commercials, he didn’t even understand many techniques, so he needed to be taught through canned food.

Satirizing these phenomena may be the introspection of practitioners, right?

Once upon a time, when I was young, I always thought that I could achieve my own success in my life.

However, gradually, as I watched myself graduate from high school, then graduate from college, and then later, as I passed the age of twenty-five, and then passed the age of thirty, I looked at my current situation. Isn't it the same as them?

In order to succeed, give up everything and only pursue profit.

After repeated failures and being bruised and bruised, I finally felt the importance of friends and family.

Stop arguing with your parents and go back to spend time with them as much as possible.

What do other things count?

In the end, I finally recognized my incompetence and was doomed to achieve nothing and be inactive throughout my life, so I let go of the illusions I once held.
