      Loser's various expressions and small happiness

      There is no portrayal of any successful person in the society in Dummy, each has its own loser method. As a loser, I feel familiar and slightly moved. Depressed life in different poses, each with its own difficulties and loneliness.

      But the movie has shown little warmth and great kindness.

      I have to sigh the beauty of the emperor again. The loser can also live a petty bourgeoisie, play music, play with puppets, and single mothers can also enjoy themselves. Losers in China...

      Be brave and discover your potential

      The protagonist discovers himself through puppets.

      In fact, everyone is more or less stupid, and they know their own situation and embarrassed Barrier - take me as an example,
      I know myself 1. Lazy 2. Still haven't gotten rid of the so-called Poor mentality 3. Young and inexperienced

      The problem is that you have the courage and determination to improve many things.

      Second, young people who can treat you with sincerity are actually very good.
      Third,...

      You're smart so don't keep tearing yourself up!

              The vision and evaluation of others make the dream hold back, cowardly escaping has become a habit in life, limiting yourself to a steady life, for fear that others will not be able to stand your changes. In fact, it is not that your neighbors cannot accept your changes. In fact, he couldn't stand his own changes, so Wei didn't try to use a different self to make excuses by slandering himself. Let the changeable and mysterious become the characteristics, and let the world accept the...

      Warm encouragement for those who are not confident

            The movie "Dummy Puppet Life, Groom 100%, Dumb" tells the story of an autistic and shy 30-year-old man who gave up his job and pursued his childhood dream - to become a puppet-playing ventriloquist, in the process of unemployment and puppet-playing in the story.
          This is an American independent film. I think this movie is much more interesting than many Hollywood movies. The people inside talk to the puppets, the close-ups of the puppets are very creative. The male protagonist...

      Don't be afraid to live with your parents! ~

      Because I'm obsessed with doing witty, childish behaviors that don't match my age. Because I like to drink too much and go home and throw my stinky panties and socks in the washing machine and never care about cross-contamination and the like. I ruined a short-lived love again. Simply put, I'm going from the girl's house with the game console and Lego and the floral shirts, fuck off! ! ! ! ~

      This kind of experience has been reincarnated 3 times since I moved out in 2009. I didn't...

      looks nice! Every character is very interesting, especially the male protagonist's family is so funny... Vera's role is the appearance of the whole film It makes people feel warm ~ ps The 28-year-old Vera's face is full of collagen and her eyes are bigger and brighter than a deer~ Her figure is also super invincible. Now she's half fatter than that time, and she looks so...

      It's not good-looking, the movie doesn't say that putting a bunch of messy people together can reflect the depth and...

      Everyone has their own problems, everyone is really lonely and a little messy, but everyone takes a small step forward in the end. The film is very simple, not preaching, just showing and expressing part of life. Adrien Brody is so cute in the film! Shy and cute, it's almost like ventriloquism ~ Milla and Vera are also young and energetic, in short, it's a very comfortable movie to watch. Samsung and a...

      The ventriloquist puppet show is very powerful when AB personally goes into battle. The cowardly and cute hero, the gentle and kind heroine and the hardcore heroine are very interesting, AB nerdy is endearing, Vera Farmiga really sparks with all kinds of heroes, Milla Jovovich's chaotic punk style is very cute, OST It also fits well, but the editing is a bit...
