      Life is joking with you, just smile

      An alcoholic middle-aged man, Nick, was fired from the company. When he returned home, he found his wife had changed the lock. He also left the house and threw his belongings on the lawn in front of the door. They have no children, and they have a pond of fish, probably a rare species they brought back when they traveled.
      Nick stayed in the pile of things on the lawn while drinking.
      A black kid dangled beside him. Nick's car was taken back by the company, and he rode out on the black...

      everything's gonna be lost, even though UR so low or so high, you are unmarried or divorced. selling old stuff is a good idea. it means U don't have to carry it anymore and won't see it again. so it won 't annoy U still....

      Carver's Recreation

      Don’t assume that the film has a comedy tone just because it’s starring Will Ferrell. In fact, "Big Sale" does not completely break away from the sad and helpless atmosphere of Carver’s original work. It is as simple as Carver’s novel, without a beginning or an end. Only give you a blank space for free imagination. Perhaps the novel with no head and no tail brings readers a sense of panic and helplessness of nowhere to go, while a film infused with flesh and blood adds warmth to this...

      Destroy your immigration dream, Everything Must Go

      It is the dream of many people to immigrate to the United States. This middle-aged inspirational film completely destroyed your dreams.

      Losing your job is only the first step in tragedy. The credit card is suspended, and your wife can freeze your bank assets. When you walk to the bank with the hero, do you have any doubts, such a man only has a deposit of 45,000 US dollars? Tell you, this is too much.

      The furniture was rags and was thrown out by his wife. When I was...

      Unemployed for 33 days


      All the consequences of your fucking drunk life have antecedents, just as the sun will rise when the moon goes down; the reason for all lies in calling you their alcoholism.
      I have no virtue after drinking, never remember having sex with a woman, and tend to be violent. How can you get love like this?
      If the wine is strong, the love will be less. I can't control my buddies. Remember, or just take advantage of your sobriety and just stop drinking.

      For those who...

    Movie plot

    Nick, who had quit drinking, started drinking again, because he had the worst day in his middle age. Nick was first fired by a company that had been working for 16 years, and the "souvenir" the company gave him was just a Swiss army knife with his name written on it. Depressed Nick took this knife to pierce someone else's tire. Although the prank was successful, he lost his "unemployment souvenir" in the panic.
    Nick wanted to use...

    Behind the scenes gags

    After Will Ferrell agreed to star in the film, the film did not start shooting immediately. Due to various...

    Evaluation action

    "Everything Must Go" is adapted from a short story by Raymond Carver. The original is less than three thousand words, without any background, the opening is a very abrupt scene, and the story is very simple. To a certain extent, the film fills the gaps in the novel, satisfies the readers' curious desires, and makes everything plump up. Compared with the novel that is separated from the story, the film uses a more complete and delicate...
