Look at American-style little people and women, fighting for power.
If you look at this film from the perspective of contemporary Chinese, it is a story of a diaosi man and a goddess mistress. It was not until the 1960s that the story became a film and the US imperialists, and it was not until the Internet society that Chinese people began to pay attention to this topic. Perhaps this is the real gap between China and the United States. Think carefully, but fortunately, these experiences are worth learning from. After all, some development problems cannot be avoided by any country.
Bud, who just graduated from college, is a baby boomer born in the United States. In prosperous and money-oriented New York, I worked as a policy clerk with a monthly salary of $360. But the little guy is also ambitious, he longs for wealth and the chance to get ahead. Fortunately, he found a way to get a promotion and a raise as soon as possible. He paid $80 a month for a very nice single apartment. And this single apartment was used to curry favor with the leaders. The leaders also embraced it, spending time in the apartment and engaging in extramarital affairs. These things are actually happening all the time. In contemporary China, because of the power of the Internet, and after enjoying the dividends of social development, everyone has begun to pay attention to these peach-colored lace news like never before.
The little guy, Bud, actually rejected this kind of activity in his heart, but he was an educated college student after all. I can only keep pleasing the leaders, hoping to get a promotion and a salary increase as soon as possible, and get rid of this silky life. Of course, little people are also eager for love, and the goddess Miss Kubrick is the most beautiful elevator lady in the building. He always tried his best to get close to the goddess, but the goddess was a goddess after all. Although he was very polite, it always gave Bud a sense of distance. Although the progress in love was not very smooth, the opportunity for Budd in career came. He was notified by the personnel director. Mr. Scherdek, the personnel director, bluntly pointed out that Bud was a little panicked by using the apartment to trade with the company's top executives for profit. Mr. Scherdek is also an old man, and he also hopes to get the right to use the Bud apartment. A new deal just happened. After all, the diaosi man Bud still has to look up to others, but he also got reports and became the second youngest manager of the company.
Who is our shy Mr. Scherdek's date? It turned out to be Miss Kubrick, the goddess of the elevator, which may be the reason why the goddess politely refused to Bud. In fact, Kublik knew that Mr. Scherdek already had a wife, and the family was fairly complete. But I still can't hold back my love for such mature, successful people with rich resources. Mr. Scherdek also seized this point, started an extramarital affair, and played well. Although Goddess Kubrick wanted to end this inexplicable relationship, she still couldn't stop it in the end. Mr. Sherjuek's offensive went to Bud's apartment together. Poor Bud did wait for the goddess to sleep with him, just with other men.
"Through hard work" Bud finally got his own office. He felt that his forbearance had paid off, and he felt complacent that he had embraced his real thighs. After the material is satisfied, continue to fantasize about love. So he did not give up, the pursuit of the goddess. Until the company's Christmas party, Secretary Olsen came over and told Goddess Kubrick that Mr. Scherdek just likes to play with young women. There is a saying, but seeing the new person laugh, then hearing the old person cry. Secretary Olsen's today may be the goddess Kubrick's tomorrow. The goddess realized that she might have been deceived, and she left in a panic. Through a dressing box, Bud realized that the goddess Kublik in his heart was actually having a tryst with Mr. Sherjuek, his thigh. Excellent movies, always like to push the characters into the abyss like this. If there is no such repetition, who will watch it patiently.
Bud, who was drunk alone, met a pretty widow. He was going home with the widow to do the things his colleagues often did at his house. The two came to the residence hugging each other, not long after entering the door. Bud found out that the goddess committed suicide in his bed. It turned out that the goddess still came to the apartment with the scumbag at night, but the scumbag wanted to leave quickly after having fun. Miss Kubrick is actually a good girl, but unfortunately she fell in love with a married scumbag. Perhaps this is the fate of many people, falling in love with a person who shouldn't love, and finally being silent and sad. Panicked, Bud quickly found the doctor who lived next door and drove away the pretty widow. It seems that Bud is destined to not be the kind of person who seeks flowers and asks willows. He also assumed all the responsibility for the goddess' suicide. A kind, humorous, but somewhat cowardly image, more vivid. He took good care of the injured Miss Kubrick, and hoped that the scumbag could give Kubrick some warmth. But at this time, the scumbag doesn't have time to take care of this girl who caused him trouble. The poor little San fell in love with a married scumbag, and the diaosi man silently took care of her. Isn't this kind of plot staged every day on Weibo, and it has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
After taking good care of the goddess for two days, Miss Kubrick's brother-in-law came to the door. and clashed with Bard. The scumbag fired Secretary Olsen in a rage because of the incident of the mistress, and gave Bud, who had done a good job in taking care of the goddess, a more decent job. The current Bud is finally a senior executive of the company. The elated Bud wanted to lead the scumbag, confided his love for the goddess, and took over. But things are so unpredictable. The original sacked secretary Olsen did not give up. She told the scumbag's wife about the peach sex incident, so the scumbag was fired by her own wife. Our mature, wise and steady Mr. Sherjuek has become the fifth king of masonry. This makes Bud dwarfed, and he has to accept the arrangement of fate, work hard, and hide his love for the goddess from the scumbag. Maybe this is life, and there are gains and losses.
The New Year is coming soon, and every New Year people hope for a new beginning and a new turning point. So Bud turned down his scumbag boss and borrowed his apartment on New Year's Eve. Bud was fed up with this sort of thing, ashamed of the promotions that came with the deal. I feel that with my diligence and wisdom, I can also prove myself. But the scumbag threatened him to either lend the apartment or get out. Bud was growing up, he changed his submissive style and bravely refused this request. At the same time, it is also necessary to fight against such people who think they are rich and play with women's feelings. Although Bud lost temporarily, he lost his job and went back to his residence to pack his bags because he couldn't afford the rent for the house.
At the orientation party, the scumbag told Miss Kubrick about his plans, and blamed it all for Bud's ignorance of current affairs. But the goddess felt inspired, and she suddenly realized that she was actually looking for this kind of good man, not a scumbag full of lies. So Miss Kubrick left Mr. Scherdek and ran all the way to Bud's apartment. A lover ends up getting married, who hasn't fallen in love with a few scumbags when they were young? Ha ha. The film uses a light-hearted approach to satirize the increasingly popular extramarital affairs of the wealthy American class at that time. In particular, the coming to power of the romantic president, Mr. Kennedy, made the rich and wealthy white class turn extramarital affairs and power and money transactions into a fashion. There is a well-off wife at home to support the scene, while he is unscrupulously seeking pleasure outside. The director used Bud's behavior to hope that everyone could stand up and resist this kind of thing. The root cause of this phenomenon is the excessive concentration of power. This kind of corruption breeds, and this popular trend of thought finally prompted the US Congress to suppress the successor President Johnson after Kennedy was assassinated, ensuring the so-called political clarity of the United States. The fault tolerance rate of this separation of powers is worthy of our consideration.
This movie also brought me a lot of emotions and made me feel educated that a lot of love does not necessarily have to be sexual. The two of them are destined to make some sacrifices in the end. The Bud in the movie finally returned with a beautiful woman. Although this gave us a certain amount of encouragement, more people are destined to be sad. Otherwise, there will not be so many tragic love songs. With the growth of age and experience, you will see many things that were not seen before. Perhaps this is called growth, and growth always comes at a price. And an excellent work, every time we look at it again, we can always have a new understanding. So I still manage some things in a down-to-earth way, not only in love, work, but also in life. In this money-worshiping and materialistic era, we still need to grope and move forward. No one knows what the end is, but if you stand still, you will never see the end.
