"Insignificant" - David Hume returns with sincerity

"frends" has left us a classic sitcom, and of course we have met many protagonists. In the film circle, Aniston should be regarded as the best star on the road It's smooth and more famous than other actors, and Matthew Perry's acting career seems to be okay, first co-starred in two "Ten Yards" with Bruce Willis, and then made some movies but It's not very popular. Now he is playing a TV series "Sunset Boulevard". Although it is not very popular, at least it can keep us from forgetting him! ! ! And my favorite Ross, David Hume, I haven't seen him on the big screen since except seeing him as a stern, unlikable officer in "Band of Brothers." (Although I heard that this dude started some kind of company and went as a producer)

I personally think David Hume is definitely a natural comedian for his looks, and he is a perfect match for Simon Pegg , both of them belong to the kind of black comedy, especially the British humor --- implicit irony! !

Back in the movie, David Hume is still playing Ross's nerdy Charlie this time, but unlike Ross, his career is not going well, which can be described as bad! But on the other hand, Charlie does have a warm family in the film. Although his wife, as a policeman, is busy every day and has no time to take care of the children, he loves her husband and children deeply, and is very content with the status quo. , and she also gave her husband the best words of encouragement. It can be said that she is an absolutely good wife! However, Charlie, who has a Ph.D., can't accept his current situation. His book is still unknown when it will be published. The customer service job he just found was also lost on the first day. His daughter was wearing second-hand clothes and playing with second-hand toys. , Facing the pressure of all this finally made Charlie and his new colleague Garth go to the road of crime that can't be turned back! !

Garth is a complete film, he is eloquent, can talk and act, and portrays himself as a desperate father eager to heal his daughter's eyes in order to win Charlie's sympathy and help, but in fact he is nothing more than a liar, everything is made up. Yes, except for this blackmail scheme. But the plan broke into a woman who had a one-night stand with Garth. This woman is smart enough, fierce enough, courageous enough, but also mysterious enough. She only knows that she is the beauty pageant champion in Oklahoma, hehe, who knows she is indeed A black widow! The movie tells the plan in great detail, and even shows it in the form of animation. Although it is a bit blunt, it is still well-rounded and detailed! But this seemingly perfect plan can also set off a series of dramatic changes in the back of the movie. The specific plot is still for the audience to see. Quite a lot, the money was also returned to Charlie's little daughter who didn't know it, and it was doodled as a card! !

The whole film cannot be said to be a very good comedy, but it is absolutely full of sincerity, whether it is the performance of the actors in the film, or the involvement of the overall plot, plus the music throughout the film (very good!), All should be well designed! Although the overall feeling is always a bit familiar, there seems to be a shadow of "Big Smoking Gun" and "11:40", but the imitations by others are still prudent, especially the coincidence of this series of settings, although it feels very blunt, But this may also be the intention of the director. From the moment Charlie embarks on the road of crime, this is destined to be a road of no return. Risks and benefits must coexist. If you want to make huge profits, you must bear the risks! Just like the title of the movie, for people who are open to seeing money, in the face of money, it is trivial to kill people and steal money. Look at the fat agent and the black widow in it, it is an example! And for those who love in their hearts, for their loved ones, all money, fame and fortune are also insignificant. Ross finally brought money to his daughter and brought what he thinks to the family he loves. "Happiness", he is willing to drink poison, and his wife is also, knowing that her husband killed a colleague, but for the sake of the person she loves, as a police wife, she does not hesitate to destroy evidence for her husband. Law enforcement is no longer so important! Likewise, there is no hatred, no life pressure, and no money troubles in the little daughter's world, so money is even more insignificant to him, and the drawing she draws on the banknotes at the end of the movie shows this! !

Finally, I would like to praise our "Ross". Although his performance is generally overshadowed by Simon Pegg, his unique comedy talent is still perfectly displayed, especially his interpretation of the innocent and angry hapless It's in place, and Ross's performance is also very tense. I don't think he can only play comedy like Simon Pegg. I think David Hume can play a warm drama. Charlie's love for his daughter at the beginning of the film and in the middle , David Hume's performance is also good! ! Unlike Simon Pegg, when he sees this guy, he wants to laugh, especially the round, dangling brain, and those nervous eyes at first glance! ! ! But I admit that Simon Pegg's role is great, keeping his usual British humour! !

I don't know if David Hume will have a movie in the future. Through this movie, I still have some confidence in him. I think he can go further on this road! !
