      What Loser really needs

      The film portrays the image of an American loser who is over 30 years old, tall and obese, living with his parents and working in his father's company. The protagonist has a lot of inferiority in his heart. He is jealous that his cousin is more handsome than himself and is more popular with other people in the company. He is jealous that his brother is better than him since he was a child, and he has won all the praise. But these did not knock him down, nor did he change him. He always...

      Failed parts of the suburban middle class

      (Originally published by Tencent Entertainment, written during the report of the Venice Film Festival) The

      lively dance floor, crappy dancers, and the lonely who looked at each other more in the crowd, slowly pushed in and freeze the shot of the protagonist, which was refined and purified. The soundscape, lazy American English with cold and humorous greetings. In this way, the scene at the beginning of the movie looks like you can be sure that it has Sundance certified blood, but it...

      The setting at the beginning is actually quite interesting. . But I always feel that I have watched the abridged version, or the director's cut is a bit inexplicable. Not only is the protagonist lost between fantasy and reality, but I can't tell the difference....

    Abel Vosmeer (Jordan Gelber) , who is 35 years old this year but still unable to achieve anything, works at a real estate company run by his father Jackie ( Christopher Walken ) —and the so-called work here is more like Abel It is a kind of relaxation. He spends almost every day doing nothing, because not only can he do nothing well, but he may also accidentally delete the price list of the goods being peddled, and cause heavy losses....

    Evaluation action

    "Dark Horse" is not so bitter and mean, nor does it talk about forgiving and forgetting and other heavy topics. The weird comedy flavor in the Todd Solondz movie suddenly burst out. Especially in the first half, I can even feel the meaning of the Apato movie, which happens to be a story about a "30-year-old virgin". Relative to the one-line narrative, the loose talk, and the ordinary to the ordinary, Sorenz no longer tries to put the...

    Movie quotes

    • Abe: [showing Miranda his room, which is full of action figures, toys and posters of Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings and Thundercats] Don't worry, I am not a Trekkie or anything super-nerdy like that.

    • Abe: I can't take any more of this crap! You always blame me for everything! Well, fuck you, I quit!

      Jackie: Fine! Then you can pack up and move out of the house while you're at it!

      Abe: You can program the TiVo yourself!

    • Phyllis: Maybe you should go back into therapy.

      Abe: Psychiatrists are idiots! The whole profession is a joke! I know my problems better than anyone and there's no solution.

      Phyllis: Dr. Sonnenschein...

      Abe: Dr. Sonnenschein's the biggest fucking idiot of them all!

      Phyllis: He helped your father and me. He helped us with our marriage. Remember, we almost got a divorce.

      Abe: You should have gotten divorced.
