A hapless person who did nothing. In order to keep his son and prove himself in front of his son, Larry, played by Ben Stiller, applied for the post of night guard at the museum. What surprised him was all the exhibits in the museum. At night, they all had life and came alive, from prehistoric behemoths to modern creatures, from Roman soldiers to western cowboys, cavemen, Huns, Indians, stone sculptures, and even U.S. President Seldo. Roosevelt, Columbus the Navigator, and characters from different eras and regions, all came to life after nightfall and gathered in this small museum. Is this a storyline with a fairy tale color? Looking back, trouble ensued, and the conspiracy was unintentionally uncovered. How should that hapless Larry respond?
do you know? Sometimes I think that maybe the museum in the film is more like a microcosm of the United States. Different ethnicities, different beliefs, and different lifestyles gather together in an instant, just like the United States, a country of immigrants. The guard Larry seems to represent the mainstream white people in American society. In the face of the impact of different cultures, he sometimes appears to be superior and at ease, but sometimes he is helpless and powerless.
This is a fantasy comedy or a fairy tale that is suitable for all ages. Hollywood has some skills in filming movies of this type. Although it may not be very good, it is not bad. Mass-produced products have no special features, but the level is absolutely stable and secure!
For the film itself, I am more concerned about the location of the film—the museum. In fact, I don’t remember exactly when the last time I went to the museum. In my sophomore year, I went to the Science and Technology Museum once. It was filled with small games that contained scientific principles. I played it again. I didn't remember much when I came out. I only remembered a machine for measuring the bounce height. When I graduated from high school, I went to the Millennium Monument with a few classmates to visit an exhibition of Mayan culture. The content was very vague, but the scene at that time was so impressive. The ones going forward are even more vague. I remember that in my elementary school, when dinosaurs were hot, my father took me to the Natural History Museum. The real human organs displayed there shocked and frightened me. When I think about it, the number of times I go to the museum is really pitiful. It doesn't fit once every two years. The span is almost catching up with the World Cup. I don't know when I can really have a free body and visit the museum.
I think the greatest effect of this movie is to arouse my interest in museums, and hope that it will be the same for others.
