What's so good about Jim Carrey's films, fortunately, Jim Carrey. The acting of this guy has not changed, it is still violent and funny, but it seems to have restrained a lot of funny elements here, adding some thinking, the overall style suddenly reminds me of "The Truman World". Although the two stories are completely unrelated, the film constantly suggests whether we have lost ourselves in the pursuit of the material world.
Pop's father is a traveler who has been chasing his dreams all his life, rarely reuniting his wife and children. Pope was a successful real estate consultant in adulthood, and there were no clients he couldn't win. He has an unmarried girlfriend and two children. He seems to be just like his dad, desperate for his dreams and enjoying the fun of work.
And this penguin, the last and best gift his father gave him, carries the guilt and regret of his father's life, just to wake up Pop. We live in a free and wide world, not a studio, not a reality show. But in such a world, we are self-disciplined, unable to see our true needs, and put on a show for others. There is no bottom line, no real dream, and no family love.
Until Pop found himself from the penguin.
A small climax of the film: The Pop family rushed to the zoo to retrieve 8 penguins. Finally, the "captain" was driven to the roof by the administrator. The captain flew with a kite on his back, realizing the constant hints in the film that the penguins wanted to "fly freely" desire, which is undoubtedly also Mr. Pope's desire.
The big climax: family and money, who will win? In the penguin body has been the most perfect interpretation. The fish representing material money was abandoned by the penguin, turned around and ran to Mr. Pope, and finally chose family affection. Animals show the most primitive and purest side here, which is really tearful.
