The vicissitudes of the old and the struggle of the young

I was expecting to see Depp's bearded face, but I didn't expect it to be a green photo. Well, to be honest, at first I really couldn't stand the black and white shots plus an old vampire, if it wasn't for the Dracula name that was a little more appealing to me (well, plus the most famous Transylvania's place). What really moved me wasn't Ed working so hard for his dreams, but the old star who was struggling and forgotten, but still wants to make a comeback. When he lost his pension and went to the doctor with a drug addiction, he said to his dear Eddie: I'll be out of here healthy in a few days, strong, young and full of energy! That kind of fear grabbed me instantly. We are too young to think about the meaning of aging, but that moment will always come. Those who have not experienced rich life will naturally regret what they have not done, then those who have experienced beauty How can people be willing to be forgotten? How brave are we when we are old and ugly and have no charm?
At the end, I realized that this is still a comedy? Those ridiculous shoddy, turned out to be a joke? I've been expecting Ed's real talent to show up, but it turns out he's just a guy who wants to work hard (and finally learned that he was once named the worst director by Time magazine). But tribute must be paid to these brave and struggling people!
