Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) as an architect is a career A middle-aged man with a happy family. His beautiful and virtuous wife (Kate Beckinsale) and two lovely children made him the best among his peers. However, like the male owners of many middle-class families in the United States, Mike's biggest problem is busy working for everything in the family. Busy enough to seldom even get along with his wife and children, and truly enjoy the happiness of family life. On this day,
Michael, who was rarely resting at home, could not find the TV remote control at home. So he went to a nearby electrical store and bought a multi-function remote control, which can control both a TV and an audio player. The owner of the electrical appliance store Morty (Christopher Walken) recommended him to buy a full-featured remote control that "can control many things". When Michael bought it home, he discovered that the remote control recommended by Morty has more magical functions. Not only can you control some household appliances, but even time and space are under the control of this little thing. With this remote control, he can "fast forward", "play back" or even "stop" his time at will, which means he can control the time freely. When he "fast-forward" at work, he can go home and spend time with his family immediately. When he does something wrong, he can "play it back" to let himself go back to the past and start over. With this "universal remote control", Michael's life seems to be very comfortable and comfortable. However, good times don't last long. One day, this universal remote control is no longer under his control, and Michael's life is also messed up by this crazy remote control. At the same time, Michael felt even more that a good life is not something "universal remote control" can help him get. But to manage it carefully on its own...

Everyone sees things from different starting points and angles, so what they see varies greatly. Maybe you see family harmony in this movie. The love of parents, wives and children is so hard for a person to give up. No matter how we keep it, it only happens once in our lives. If you miss it, you can only remember it silently with regret and sadness, because you are looking for everything. This is the direct information we can see in the movie.
The children's jokes about Michael Newman laid the groundwork for all of this. The slight dissatisfaction with the state of life is magnified in the film, and the contradiction is fully exposed through a remote control. Pressure from work, family pressure, social pressure, and even the slightest bit of satisfaction in life, let us choose to escape, choose to forget, family dinners, quarrels, illnesses and even the boring sex process shown in the film Michael Newman chooses to skip , Skip all the way and fast forward all the way to form a habit, so that when you finally want to stay, you are accustomed to it and automatically choose to escape.
When he travels alone in time and space, there is no mark of trivial matters, and success seems to have lost its original taste. Regarding what happened, he can only sigh...
After experiencing the painful lessons, he finally wasted all his time and realized the meaning of life. He hobbled after his son Ben in the rain, and told the children to put family first...All of this is just to tell us to face everything in our lives, whether it is joy or sadness, comfort or pain Torture, since they happen to us, they are worth experiencing, experiencing, and remembering.
Only with the most beautiful experience, money, reputation, and status are worthless in the face of time. "When others need you most, you are the richest." If you put aside the carrier of things, stay away from the noisy crowd, escape conflicts and conflicts, then you will also lose the best things in life.
It's like traveling. What we value is not the destination, but the scenery along the way and the mood when walking through the scenery. In the same way, we feel that the joy of victory depends on remembering the ups and downs of fighting, rather than a nominal trophy.
One day the fate between the characters will eventually be cut off. When we happily close our eyes and stay away from the hustle and bustle, it is because we chose to face it when the pain and frustration come; and the death of our eyes is the direct consequence of fast-forwarding life. Speaking of this, I think of a sentence, people will die and their words are good. Is this a confession of the process of wasting life, or is it a true portrayal of the end of the escape?
With Nanke's dream awakening, the film will inevitably enter a happy ending and fall into the stereotype. The author believes that this film should end with the passing of Michael Newman. That way, it seems that we will think more...
