Uncle Tom, why are you picking up this play?

Tom Hanks: "Our old beauty used to be very beautiful and beautiful. Now all kinds of people who are in recession are in middle age and have all kinds of upsets. They have to come to the Middle East, a place where people are stupid and rich in money, to make a profit. I think you backward Muslims are disrespectful to the uncle, and they have to ask grandpa to tell their grandma to connect us with Wi-Fi! As a result, the Chinese copied our technology and came to grab a job with Laozi! The business is so hard to make a baby so sad! Anyway, idle If it’s okay, cut off the tumor! Hey, this woman is very good, so let’s talk about love and eat soft rice by the way!" Hahaha! Uncle Tom, did you take this scene to find a chance to experience life in the Middle East? ☝ᖗ乛◡乛ᖘ☝

But to be honest, although there are no highlights in this film, the diversity of American films is worth learning. In China, people watching movies and TV shows are almost aimed at Xiao Xianrou. Regardless of actors and actresses, everyone must dress up young. Actresses basically begin to play supporting roles as children's mothers after their 30s, regardless of male and female idols. The burden is so heavy that I dare not grow old. Americans don't think so. You can be the protagonist at all ages, and every stage of life can be beautiful and worthy of appreciation. The heroes and heroines of the film are all middle-aged, have families and children, and encounter the troubles that ordinary people have. Regarding the plot setting and theme of the film, they are beautiful and flesh-and-blood.

The film reflects the class differences and the divide between the rich and the poor in Arab society, which is thought-provoking. In the same building, the ecological differences on different floors are huge. There are people fighting and fighting in the slum-like shack, and the other floor is indeed the office of the powerful. Ironically, the building has not been renovated yet and the elevator is not available. The rich and powerful have to pass through the poor floor to reach their magnificent and elegant office. The difference between the two classes is awe-inspiring! I really want to ask the guy in the suit and leather shoes what it feels like when he walks through the shack every day? In addition, wine is mentioned many times in the film. As ordinary people in Saudi Arabia, it is not allowed to drink casually. If you secretly hide the wine, you will even be arrested, but the rich people have the wine hidden in the cabinet. It is so ignorant and pathetic for ordinary people controlled by religion and strict system!

A Hologram for the King quotes

  • [first lines]

    Alan: [mimicking The Talking Heads in his music video TV commercial] You may find yourself living in your garden shack. And you may find yourself not at home in your home. And you may find yourself looking for your large automobile. And you may find yourself without a beautiful house. Without a beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself "Well, how did I get here?"

    Alan: [riding a roller coaster for the chorus] Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

  • Alan: [in an email] Dear Dr. Hakem. I hope this message finds you well. Your skill made quick work of that cyst. So I want to thank you again. I've been feeling increasingly energized since the operation and I've already been able to transfer that energy to others successfully. The only catch is now I don't have anything to blame my problems on. That little growth explained everything, and now it's gone. I am sincerely grateful, though, I think. Alan Clay.

    Zahra: [her response] Dear Mr. Clay, even though it went a little harder than I expected, it was a simple extraction. Usually the discovery that you're not dying of a malignant tumor leaves most people with their spirits high. But you are not most people, are you? Dr. Zahra Hakem.

    Alan: Dear Dr. Hakem, actually, my spirits are very high indeed, maybe too high. I'm feeling a little dizzy. The cause is mysterious. But I have felt a strange new lump in my back. I'm no doctor, but it feels like a rubber glove. Is there a chance you left one? Sometimes people leave things like gloves with someone they like in hopes their retrieval will provide an excuse to see that someone again. Yours, Alan.

    Zahra: Dear Alan, I actually might have left something. I'm thinking a sponge? Or maybe part of a snack I ate during the surgery. I think I need to see you again. Perhaps out of the hospital? We don't want to worry your insurers. Zahra.
