It's messy, but it's like our fucking life

I have always liked movies with such a narrative style, chattering, murmur, but not drowsy; trivial, trivial, but they can always touch a special place in your heart. That feeling is not very exciting, very exciting, but very familiar, as if these people live right at the door of you, or you can see them when you stand at the front desk of the company and check in. After watching this kind of movie, you won’t be educated or inspired, but it always seems to remind you of the family of three you saw on the train yesterday, or what you had for dinner the day before yesterday, and chattering at the dinner table. What kind of joke. . . Because this kind of movie is about our fucking life.

What do you think life is? In my opinion, life is just plain without so many adventures, it is the union of all high-probability events, it is Fu Wushuang that does not come singly, it is that the house leaks when the night rains and the boat breaks and meets the head wind, it is basically not for you to buy a lottery ticket. Winning a lottery means that you will basically get a ticket if you park for ten minutes. If you are about to get overwhelmed, you will probably get upset. You will always tell you when you are about to collapse. Bad luck has just begun. It is you and a stranger. If you share marijuana in a quiet place, you will surely be slapped and taken away from your wallet. . . . . . Life is a Brownian movement carried out by millions of mediocre mortals like you and me, according to their inexplicable and self-righteous intentions and strategies. Whoever wants to find regularity from it is not foolish and crazy. NS. . . . . . Jeff is basically such a semi-silly stuff. But according to his silly countermeasures, all the problems in the film are actually solved—what do you think? In fact, it is nothing more than the weirdness of life. There is no right answer. Whether according to Pat's normal human thinking or Jeff's abnormal human thinking, the ending is nothing more than the same. This is called Tian Xing You Chang.

Anyway, this is a comedy. But as I said, any comedy that is performed no more than five steps forward is a tragedy. For example, the movie is over today and Jeff has finished his flash. But tomorrow, Jeff will still stay at home and stick to the sofa. The accumulated habits are not so easy to change, and the society will not be loosened by his flash. After all, real life is not a Chinese newspaper; today, Pat and his wife reunited and fell in love again, but tomorrow, Porsche’s bills, garage bills, U.S. transportation detachment tickets, trailer bills, and tree-paying bills. . . . . . I dare not think about it. . . . . . Money is really the root of all evil. Well, even if these things are gone. One day, when their lives are a little bit rough, Linda will remember what happened today and start nagging: "If you didn’t eat and support, and spent your money on that damn Porsche, then We are all today...blablabla...I am so swollen and blind, like you...blablabla..."13,500 are omitted below. Character. . . . . .

To be honest, at this point, my head started to aches for some reason.

Well, this is just a movie after all, better than real life, worse than news broadcast. So it will always selectively express a shiny day, even just a moment, when everyone smiles comfortably, the moment the soul is healed, it stops abruptly, so that you can charge a little bit of electricity to face the crueler than it. Ten thousand times the real life. I think this may be the true meaning of the fable that Jeff and Pat's father told them in their dreams.
