Briefly string the story:
A perfect couple is on vacation in beautiful Greece. They are as loving as the princess and prince in a fairy tale. The prince is a programmer, and the princess is a writer.
Greece, like other European cities, has beautiful scenery but also exudes a dirty and decadent atmosphere. In order not to be disturbed by the chaotic parade, the princess and prince decided to drive elsewhere.
The prince was already driving fatigued, and he didn't want to park on an empty road and let the princess who had slept for a long time drive. The accident happened naturally, and he broke into a residential house with precision guidance.
When the prince woke up, he found that the princess was offline and there was a red-haired child in the house, and then he passed out
When I woke up, I went to the hospital. The police asked the ins and outs, and the prince took notes seriously. The fat policeman wanted him to forget about the child in the house, saying that he had hallucinations in the car accident. But the upright prince insisted repeatedly that he did see the child.
Everything went according to order. The prince waited for the remains to be processed and flew back to the United States together. During the period, he ran back to the house without fail.
The prince loves the princess too much and wants to go with her. At this time, a blonde girl appeared, shooting at the prince, her instinctive reaction pulled the prince back to reality. Xin said, old girl, you are too stubborn to persuade people. Then the fat policeman appeared and seduced the prince. Less than 10 meters away, the two of them could also miss the miss. The prince would never want to die. He was going to commit suicide, but you were scared to life. The boss knew that he must be angry.
The prince ran all the way to the forest and spent the night in an abandoned truck. He woke up in the morning and was taken to heal by the nearby well-meaning villagers. The bad police chased him again and had to jump through the window to escape. After not running far, I met a pair of kind beekeepers and contacted my embassy with their help. The embassy refused to pick him up and let him come to Athens by himself. The prince met a group of teachers and students who came out to sketch in the forest, and took their bus to the train station. The prince, who thought he would be safe on the train, was caught by the bad police. After punching and kicking, his hands were still handcuffed, and there would be no chance if he didn't escape. The prince pulled the train to a stop, and hit the bad policeman in the foot.
The prince who fled to a nearby city saw a wall full of posters. The red-haired child he had seen was on the poster. Ask the poster who knows that it is the nephew of a famous politician. The kind-hearted poster sisters helped the prince escape the cover, and they were planning to drive him to Athens. When they arrived outside the city, the police checked the car. The prince thanked the two girls and began to flee. The prince on the subway was much more cautious at this time. When I got off the subway and was about to go out, a big man swung a knife and slashed over. The prince jumped over the railroad tracks and finally came to the embassy with the help of kind citizens.
When he arrived at the embassy, the prince thought everything was over and he was safe. Also met his girlfriend for the last time. As a result, the golden retriever who received him made up a lie and took the prince out. The prince finally made some progress along the way, and at the last moment he stunned the golden retriever and jumped out of the car.
When they ran to the building agreed by the poster sisters, the police arrived shortly after they continued to escape from the back door, jumped awkwardly, crossed the parade, and ran back to the original hotel. The hotel has been demolished and renovated. In the face of the golden retriever, there is no way to avoid it.
It turned out that the prince and the princess were the two hapless guys. They appeared in the hotel that shouldn't be there, broke into the house that shouldn't be, and saw people who shouldn't be seen. The prince said that I provoke someone, and angrily fell on the golden retriever.
Picking up the golden retriever's gun, following the blond woman all the way, she found that the two kidnappers were about to run away. However, the prince still did not dare to kill him, with a hand shot and a leg shot. In the case of a bullet in the abdomen, he jumped out of the car and forced the police to stop. In the end, he could only vent his anger with his fists.
Analysis part:
The programmer is indeed a bit silly and sweet. Not to mention foreign countries, in 2017, the founder of We Phone in China, Su Xiangmao, was defrauded of marriage and money and finally committed suicide by jumping off the building. The programmers around me are relatively simple and naive. But once they learn the capitalist's style, they are not pure at all.
The male protagonist thought that he had caused the death of his girlfriend, but found out that the bad guy had let them leave the hotel because the killer could be seen from their room. But people told you to go out and didn't tell you to drive around everywhere. Wouldn't you rent a local hotel in Athens for one night?
After knowing the truth, shouldn't you avenge your girlfriend? I got the gun, the other party is still going to kill you all the way, let it go so easily? Does it take a second to pick up the gun to end the woman? The bad police were also released after the boy was rescued? ? ? The male lead hit non-lethal positions several times, on the feet, legs, and hands. This is indeed more in line with the reaction of ordinary people in reality. But this also shows that the hero is a coward. The male protagonist represents the technical elites of FB and the G family, implying that they are cowards. In the first season of the TV series Silicon Valley, there is a line "He's a coder," Gilfoyle says. "He won't do shit!" "He's right, we're pussies," agrees Dinesh."
The black and white match of the prince and princess is also satirizing many "correct" film and television dramas. And the male protagonist's confession of his girlfriend's death for his mistakes is also a complete joke. In reality, Internet capitalists like Zuckerberg never admit their mistakes and will only justify themselves for various reasons.
Become a tech elite, financial predator, and corrupt politician in a mess. The male protagonist representing them can only keep saying in the end, I damn, I damn. This is just a good wish of the director, which may never be realized.
There is another layer of retribution in the film. These "Excellent Sheep" helped the abuser, but in the end the retribution fell on himself.
Don’t forget that Netflix, which invested in this film, started by renting DVDs. It is opposed to the elites who started with technology like FB.
Comment section:
May be constrained by the production cost, the script is relatively rough. However, the ups and downs of the protagonist's psychology are still well created, consistent with the psychological cognitive process of reality. The director himself is not pursuing artistic level, but realistic expression, but the audience is watching a movie like a happy one, and it is destined to not be understood and liked by too many people.
