Overturned Five Flavor Bottle

Eldora 2021-12-09 08:01:33

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.

    8/10, far exceeding the level of general campus comedies. The conflict between the middle-aged male teacher of WS and the ambitious young female student produces a powerful laugh and aura. Ambition and jealousy, rebellion and restlessness, the black elements are smoothly blended into various jokes, and people have a sense of gloom after laughing.

    Nebraska stories, fatalism, "ethics and morality" contradiction between knowledge and behavior... Westward to Washington vs. East to New York, the elite will win the fishing line... Middle-aged men are short-sighted and willing to be mediocre, but vainly destroy the future of the better, hoping Stealing fishery, igniting the dead, and becoming a wicked person, cannot escape the discipline and punishment of the society...Sneezing the electoral system and Catholicism...Coke's freeze frame + voice-over...Well, the pointy chin feels like joy, sometimes it's beautiful...

Election quotes

  • Dave Novotny: It know it seems crazy, but, Jim, what I'm trying to tell you is that Tracy and I are totally, totally... in love.

    Jim McAllister: [in disbelief] In love?

    Dave Novotny: Yeah. It's serious. She inspires me in ways that Linda never has. She even wants to read my novel.

    Jim McAllister: But you haven't written your novel.

    Dave Novotny: That's the whole point! I've got the whole thing right here, I just need to get it out there. And Tracy wants me to write it so she can read it. It's beautiful.

  • [Dave's affair with Tracy has been discovered]

    Dave Novotny: [tearfully] Tracy's mom, she doesn't understand.

    Walt Hendricks: No, I'd say she doesn't. The fact is I have never seen a mother so upset. All right, I know what Tracy told her mother, what her mother told me, I need to hear this from you, because I have a legal responsibility here. Let me ask you this... Did you cross the line with this girl?

    Dave Novotny: I... We... We're in love.

    [he sobs helplessly]
