      But i'm really lonely

         I have always thought that jin carry is just like what he said to his children in the big talker: some people make a living by this (make faces). From the first disguised geek I watched, to the spooky plane head, to the first two big ones, people have to think that he is the American version of "nonsensical", that's all. Until this one, the cable guy who won $20 million in salary for Jim Carry. The problem is very deep. At the end of the movie, it can be understood that this cable...

      Black comedy

      I have never watched Kim Kelly's film before, but knowing that this person is very famous, I watched The Cable Guy. I thought it would be a lot of funny, but I felt uncomfortable after watching it.

      The cable man played by Kim Kelly, all hysterical behaviors are all just for making friends with another actor. What makes him so persistent and perverted? After reading the whole article, I realized that it was only because of the lack of love from the family in childhood, and the...

      Entertaining to death-Cult·Satire·Fable Part II: Achilles' Heel Under the Lurking Corridor

      IMDb: 6.0 Metacritic: not included Rottentomatoes: 54%(5.5)/51%(2.8)

      This may be the most underrated work of Jim Carrey’s career and even all comedy movies since the 1990s.
      So far, many fans see Jim Carrey in the crazy look of the "Detective Plane." It’s no wonder that as a debut work, the image of Ace Ventura was a blockbuster for the entire comedy world at the time. Almost no one has ever thought that comedy can be performed like this (of course, this is the same as...

      Love and be loved

      The concept of "love and being loved" was repeatedly downplayed in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. From a deeper social and psychological analysis, Americans living in the information explosion are always in aphasia. They desperately desire love and understanding, but people are There was an inexplicable estrangement between people, so that society was filled with a sense of nerves, nihility, but persistent idleness. "Ace Specialist" uses television as clues and props,...

      Play hard

      The name is made up casually. The career cannot last. The family is far less warm than the TV. They put on a posture of loving TV. In fact, they only use something like the antenna to generate "movement" for consumption. Friendship can give everything, but it just likes the feeling of friendship. To say "a friend who can sacrifice for it" is more willing to treat the other person as an emotional tool that can be changed at any time than a living person. In the end, it seems...

      Potential story concept: A TV-raised dating paranoid invades the lives of ordinary people. It's a pity that the type positioning is unclear, the protagonist and Kerry's brush and ink are not well distributed, the protagonist lacks action and is paranoid and has too much action, and the plot is neither extreme nor natural. The overall feeling is weird, I didn't get the point with the audience, I can only "e", it's a pity that there are a lot of good jokes. The director's skills are good, and the...

    Movie plot

    Stephen moved into a new apartment and needed to install cable TV urgently. Soon, TV installer Du Zhe came, and his weird behavior really puzzled Stephen. But Du Zhe is a very humorous person, and more importantly, he also installed free cable TV for Stephen, which makes Stephen feel that he has something to talk about. Once, the two of them went to the cable TV transmission tower to chat together, during which Du Zhe learned that...

    Evaluation action

    "Ace Specialist" is an ambitious work by director Ben Stiller, with many stars in the film. He will make a large-scale subversion of Hollywood's fashion culture in the 1990s, and there are many ideas involved. The film is a pure thriller comedy, based on trying to get rid of the minefield of an unwelcome friendship.
    "Ace Specialist" looks terrible. Kim Carey's performance was a bit too much, he tried to subvert himself. In the film, Kim...
