Take off the mask, we are all the same.
A one-and-a-half-hour movie is narrated in one space throughout the whole process. This arrangement is also the moment that tests the actors' performance skills the most. When the Mike family entertained the Allen family to discuss the child's problems, the words and actions began to be characterized, and the characters were portrayed in detail. In the design of the lines, the characters' different outlooks on life were used to create contradictions, intensify the contradictions, and directly Clearly picked out the hidden husband-wife relationship, family relationship, and individual grudges between these four people, everyone removed their disguise one after another, and went from being friendly to Yan Shanmu to hysterical. The director took advantage of this short 80 minutes to take off everyone's mask with a small thing that couldn't be more trivial. This ordinary house also symbolizes the society in the big environment.
At the end, the children play together and have long forgotten what happened before, but the comparison of adults allows us to see the most primitive state of human beings. Isn't it a great irony?
Because of Samsung, the language of the parents on both sides of the movie was full of flames from the very beginning. The quarrel propped up the whole movie. If the tension of the story is too high, it will lose its balance and start to get tired of this mode after seeing half of it. And when Allen wanted to leave many times, would the elevator settings and Mike's invitation seem too deliberate?
