Since the 1990s, American comedy can be said to have been going downhill. After the once comedy king Jim Carrey failed to win the statuette for him in "Trumen's World", he seemed to have lost the feeling of acting. The comedy works after that were only It can be regarded as unsatisfactory. And the exaggerated performance genre he represents has no successor, and American comedy has gradually reduced to the three indiscriminate ways of shit, urine, and sex. Every year, there will always be several pipeline movies that use the same jokes, similar plots, and even actors and actresses. They may occasionally deceive the audience and get a good box office result, but the audience gradually begins to reject such movies. A typical example is that the once-popular sex comedy "American Pie" series of movies are becoming less and less popular. When the freshness fades, many movies only have an empty shell.

Movies need to return to the story after all. "The Hangover", released in 2009, won back the audience with a wonderful and tortuous story. Its North American box office of more than 200 million is the best proof. Imagine a scene like this: You and 3 friends played too High on the "single night" before one of them got married. When you wake up the next morning, you find that there is a mess in the hotel room, and the bridegroom officer disappeared in the room. There was an unknown baby. Besides, there was a living tiger in the bathroom. More importantly, no one remembered what happened last night. If such a plot is flat and straightforward, it is certainly not worth seeing. The more absurd the ending, the more boring the process may be. As the saying goes, judging from the urinary nature of the ending, this must be a typical American vulgar comedy.

However, the ingenious arrangement of the script makes everything interesting. The story starts from the ending. As the movie progresses, the audience will follow the three protagonists to reveal the cause of every ridiculous thing about the night of the hangover, and Look for the most critical person who has never appeared before-our groom. The design of the storyline, the jokes, and the performance of the actors are just right. If it weren't for the surreal plots in the film, many people would think this is a true story.

The viewing experience of this film is quite interesting. After watching it, male viewers usually write a long article, recalling a certain hangover experience in a certain year and month, and then lament that the time goes by, the years are ruthless and full of drunkenness. Not enough, drunk unhappy, and all kinds of complex emotions that want to get drunk again. Ordinary female audiences usually write a long article after reading it. The main ideas are generally: 1. I really don't understand men. 2. A man is so terrible, he can abandon his girlfriend for many years for a night of craziness. 3. Men who want to get married are so crazy. It seems that marriage is really a man's tomb.

After watching this film, it is really interesting to read the comments on the Internet. Naturally, the film can resonate with so many obsessive men and women, which proves that it is indeed love. The setting of the three protagonists is very ordinary and typical: a handsome leader who has been married and had children but has a wild heart; a crazy joke who always messes things up; a "good man" who is strict in his wife but also has a depressed life. . See if your friends always have similar roles. They can always do anything for you and are willing to do everything they can to help you. From this point of view, empathy can't be normal. Of course, they are all kind. I think after watching this film, the girls who complained about men probably didn’t understand the theme of this film. When hugging your child at the wedding, do you feel that family is important to him? Crazy may be the way to release life, but everyone will eventually find their place.

It is the so-called, life must be full of joy, I hope to be drunk and never wake up.
