The film opens with a shootout between the police and gangsters. The interweaving of gunshots and whistles creates a tense atmosphere. The plot develops to a hearse pretending to have a funeral and transporting alcohol to a speakeasy. Under the restrictions of the Chicago society, a kind of chaos, showing the real problems of American society. The two male protagonists in the film, Joe and Jerry, are two poor musicians. On the way to a planned performance, they witnessed the gangster Big Mouth kill Charlie. In order to escape, the two had to disguise themselves as women and mix in with a woman. The band went to another city, where they used a bold plot setting and broke through the previous gender concept. In the band, the two met Tian Tian, who was lively and plump, and had a good impression of her. As a man living in a crowd of women, Jerry couldn't help being a little excited. He greeted the women warmly in bed before going to bed at night. Joe kept reminding him that Jerry recited "I'm a woman, I'm a woman", which is similar to what Jerry said after Osgu proposed to Jerry, "I'm a man, I'm a man" Formed extreme contrast, adding to the film's sense of comedy. After learning that Tiantian likes millionaires who wear glasses and have yachts, he pretends to be a rich man to approach Tiantian, and wins Tiantian's admiration. With Jerry's help, Joe succeeds in dating Tiantian on the yacht. Jerry is dancing with Osgu at this time, and the two scenes are switched back and forth, which is quite comical. The love between Joe and Tian Tian, Jerry and Osgu and the two story lines of two people avoiding the gang to kill are closely linked and integrated. The two encountered Dazui and a group of people who came to the hotel. After being found, they had to leave and continue to escape. Before escaping, Qiao called Tiantian to say goodbye and gave her the pearl bracelet used to save her life, which shows Qiao's love for Tiantian. Very thick. The two used a long shot in the chase between the hotel lobby and the gang, and the two left the frame and reappeared in the frame, making the chase more realistic.
At the end of the film, after learning that Jerry is a man, Osgu only calmly said "people can't be perfect." This sentence impressed many people. It also reflected the social problems related to homosexuality, but I think the emotional line between Jerry and Osgu is a bit simple. It is just that Osgu fell in love with Jerry at first sight. Jerry agreed to marry him for a living. There is no specific example to support the relationship between the two. It seemed a little far-fetched when they were together. One sentence that impressed me is that Joe rushed over to kiss Tiantian when she saw Tiantian singing sadly by herself, and said to her, "Stop singing, Tiantian, men are not worth your sadness", Tiantian said that she wears glasses The rich man looks "gentle and helpless", but I think Tiantian is the one who is really gentle and helpless. Unlike other saxophonists she met before, Joe is a man who really loves her and treats her well. This is also the reason why Joe finally chose to accept him after his confession. The word "pretend" is used throughout the development of the film. The gangsters pretend to be Harvard lawyers, Joe and Jerry are pretending to be women, and when Joe is pretending to be a rich man, Tian Tian is also pretending to be a rich family daughter, expressing that everyone wants to One's own interests always go to whitewash oneself and cover up one's unknown side, but in disguise, there is also the existence of true feelings, as Osgu said at the end of the film, "people can never be perfect", with this sentence The ending of the words leaves the audience with infinite reverie and thinking. There is never a perfect thing in the world, and seemingly perfect things are often accompanied by cracks, so many times, what we see may not be the truth of the matter.
