Overturned Five Flavor Bottle

After watching this film, I feel like an overturned five-flavored bottle, with all tastes. The film uses comedy to reflect many social issues:

Election: Tammy said that no matter who is elected, everyone’s life is the same, but some people will benefit. Isn’t that the case in American elections?

Seven-year itch and extramarital love: Jim said that after having sex with his friend's wife, he immediately felt that life had fun.

Homosexuality: Tammy said that he only has feelings for girls. Although he knows that he is different from others, he is also helpless.

Life styles: Some people keep climbing up for their own ambitions like Tracy (I feel like Hillary Clinton), some are like Paul, although they are not good at speaking but popular, and some are like Mr. Jim, who make mistakes and start again. Once, as long as you don't give up, life will not give up on you (it feels a bit high-profile for the city of New York).

The director has no intention to point out who is right and who is wrong. He just puts various phenomena in front of the audience, allowing everyone to think and judge by themselves. In terms of actors, the handsome Matthew Broderick has reached his middle age when he is beginning to lose his head. In his mind, he is still in his mind as a genius for skipping classes; the young Ruixi was still very young. Director Alexander's film has seen and , but has never found a favorite. Although there are many highlights and favorites in this film, it still feels that it is not my food.

Election quotes

  • Tracy Flick: [narrating] Now that I have more life experience, I feel sorry for Mr. McAllister. I mean, anyone who's stuck in the same little room, wearing the same stupid clothes, saying the exact same things year after year for his whole life, while his students go on to good colleges, move to big cities and do great things and make loads of money... He's got to be at least a little jealous. It's like my mom says, the weak are always trying to sabatoge the strong.

  • Tammy Metzler: [narrating] Being suspended is like getting a paid vacation. Why do they think it's a punishment? It's like your dog pees on the carpet and you give him a treat. Then you get in trouble for skipping school, it's so stupid! Hendricks told me, "One more time" and I'd be expelled. Sounded good to me.
