The story of "Ten Years" took place in an unknown American town. Ten years after graduation, the students returned to their alma mater and participated in a two-day reunion.
Like many classmates, everyone wore their best clothes and drove their best cars. The female classmates did their hair and drew bright makeup, trying their best to show everyone their glamorous side. As the party progressed and the alcohol was catalyzed, the unsatisfactory life was revealed bit by bit.
The quarterback of the football team, the man of the year, and the current car salesman (due to his bad temper, this salesman is not yet very successful). He was blessed, married, and had his own children, and his edges and corners were smoothed by life little by little.
The school flower is still beautiful, but she is already a single mother of two children, leading the relief, and living with her old mother when she gets older. Her peak was frozen in high school, and since then she has gone further and further downhill.
Some are getting better. Some have become lawyers, some have bought yachts, and the humble nerd back then went to New York to become magazine writers. What's even more amazing is that some people have become singers and their singles have made the charts. For the town, this is a big man.
Ten years, saying that long is not long, and short is not short, but it is enough to divide life into three, six, nine levels. Most of the people in the class are mixed lives, not bad, and the midlife crisis has not yet come, but there are no surprises in life. Seeing the winners, it is inevitable that there will be a bit unwilling, and seeing the losers, there is a sense of satisfaction inexplicably. There are still photos of that year on the wall, but the best time is gone.
The reunions of classmates are all trivial and trivial things, and the plot moves forward calmly without any strong dramatic conflicts. Fortunately, there are also those indispensable campus loves as a supplement. There are many characters. The director carefully selected two pairs for comparison:
The first pair is the result of cultivation. Take Chris Pratt’s quarterback as an example. They entered the marriage prematurely, and both of them had nothing to do in their careers. He was not very satisfied with her, and she was not very satisfied with her. He was also not very satisfied. They had no hope for the future, but they had all the children, and it was too late to regret.
The other pair ended up without a problem, taking Channing Tatum and Rosario Dawson as examples. He loves her, and she loves him, but their love ends with graduation. Since then, she has become the moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart, and no one can replace it. (The unsuccessful pair had a better life later, which proves that puppy love is harmful. From this point of view, the director’s three views are very positive.)
Later, he had a perfect girlfriend. He bought the ring and kept it hidden, but he dared not give a promise. He always seemed to be missing a piece in his heart. So the classmates reunion became the place for him to say goodbye to yesterday.
"What are you waiting for?" "How are you?" The music sounded, and they embraced and danced, everything seemed to be yesterday, but they knew in their hearts that they would never go back. She has a happy family and is about to become a mother. He has also untied her heart and is ready to spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend. Sorry? Maybe, but where is there so much perfection in life?
(At this moment, the director once again demonstrated his three upright views, which filled the classmates with harmony, and resolutely put an end to the unhealthy trend of "breaking apart a pair is a pair")
The last round of wine, the last dance, everyone returned to real life after the dust settled. "Ten Years" was silent after the filming, the response was mediocre, and the box office was not very good. This theme is destined to not sell well.
Does this film have a box office? It is estimated that they have not been able to enter the theater and directly released the disc. To put it bluntly, Channing Tatum wanted to try behind the scenes. Relying on his good popularity, he invited a group of friends in the circle to entertain himself, and by the way, he showed off his love in the movie with his wife.
Most of the small-cost independent productions ended in this way. They were released in a hurry, and they didn't make any splashes. It is estimated that I lost a small amount of money, but the boss of Qian is not unable to lose it. Being a human being, the most important thing is to be happy.
It can be seen from the subject matter that this film is a group play, and everyone's role is limited, and the places they can play are also limited. The age and experience are there, and there will be no wonderful scenes of old dramas. Therefore, everyone did not expect too much of themselves, but completed the task satisfactorily.
The movie is over, but the excitement under the screen has just begun: a group of little stars who have worked hard for many years, half red and not black, suddenly became magnanimous after filming the film, with constant film appointments, as if being favored by the goddess of luck, don't you believe it? Just listen to me one by one:
Oscar Isaac played the role of a singer in the film. He gave a little show of singing. Soon, he received the invitation of the Coen brothers to play the male number one in "Drunk Country Folk Songs". With his status, he could think of himself before. Work with such a famous guide? In "Drunk Country Folk Songs", he continues to play a singer, if you say that the Coen brothers have not watched "Ten Years", I don't believe that he killed him.
This is just the beginning. In 2015, he won the Best Supporting Actor of the 19th American Online Film Critics Association with "Machines". Next, there are two heavyweight film deals: "X-Men: Apocalypse" and the much-anticipated "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
Kate Mara starred in the hit American drama "House of Cards", then "The Martian" and "The New Fantastic Four." As for the poor box office of "The New Fantastic Four", that is another matter. At least, she has become the number one female in the summer blockbuster.
Chris Pratt is even more a miracle. After this film, he succeeded in losing weight and entered the film circle from the American drama circle. His shots were super giants such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, and they were both Absolutely male number one. The filming of "Passenger" is about to start, and Jennifer Lawrence, a Hollywood sister, said it is not an exaggeration to say that it is popular.
In contrast, the male protagonist Tatum hasn't changed much, because he was becoming popular at the time, giving others money in the snow, and icing on the cake for him. Even if it is helpful, his performance is not so obvious.
After "Ten Years", he was named the sexiest man of 2012 by "People" magazine, holding two cash cows "Magic Mike" and "Dragon Tiger Boys" and earning a lot of money. Next, he will star in Marvel’s single-player movie "The King of Cards"-this is already the fourth person picked by Marvel from the crew. It makes people want to ask curiously: "How much do the seniors like this movie?"
It seems that too many people have watched "Ten Years" and then selected the roles according to the movie. What's even more amazing is that these movies basically have sequels. It is conceivable that the bonus to the star fortune of the actors will continue for a long, long period of time.
Many years later, the crew of "Ten Years" may become a legend in Hollywood. Those who failed to hitchhiker will regret it too much. In those days, there was a small-cost literature and art film. In front of me, and I don’t know how to cherish it. If time goes back and everything can be done again, then I will definitely say to Boss Qian: "Please take me!"
