To be or not to be. That is a question!

Professor YLM, who graduated from Peking University, liked to quote the following sentence when he taught grammar in sjtu before. He is also willing to explain the translation process of this sentence to us.

To be or not to be. That is a question!

He said: The original Chinese translation of the classic lines from "Hamlet" is not "survival or destruction? This is a question worth considering.", but "do or not do , This is a problem.” (He said here, we will snicker) Later, it was translated by some embarrassed scholar to “do or not, this is a problem” (every time I say this, everyone sprays... )



Whether to do or not to do it is a question!



This is the first sentence I thought of when I saw this "Forty-year-old Virgin" many years later... Do



it or not, this is a question! Which one is considered noble-endure every lonely and sad night silently, or stand your chest out, rush into the party, find a hot girl, and die? !



I don't know what American society is really like, but in the movies, sex is simply commonplace. Let’s not talk about romance movies, nor drama movies. Even in general action movies, comedy movies, and science fiction movies, basically the male and female protagonists have a pair of eyes, and the next shot is in the room...

in the movie However, American children also seem to receive sexual enlightenment much earlier than Chinese children. In "American Pie", 17- or 8-year-old children are thinking about how to "home base" by picking up girls. After that, there was a climax of making youthful comedies. . .

What impressed me the most was the protagonist of the little fat man in "Too bad" (also made a cameo in this film), a senior in high school, very homely, probably never touched a woman's hand, but when someone asked him if she could do it at night In the first night with that girl, what he would do first, he said with confidence: "First, I wanna a foot-fxxk..." It sounds embarrassing to me... It



’s in such a movie environment, "The "40 Year-Old Virgin" turned out to be the opposite, creating a 40-year-old man who is not only a virgin, but also has no desire for sex as the protagonist.



Uncle Andy "supports the tent" every day to get up and ride a bicycle to work.

The shirt is always tucked in the pants, and the speech is always meticulous.

On holidays, I will stay at home to exercise, pack up soldiers, play video games, and watch soap operas.

Probably that was the case when he was 20 years old. .



The 40-year-old virgin is certainly sad, and even more sad is that 40-year-old does not know how to pick up girls, but the most sad thing is that there are always so few brothers who volunteered and uninvited around (or is it a waste of help?)

"from now on, your dick is my dick!"

Following the heartfelt words from my brother, Andy's life was completely disrupted.

I was invited to parties to practice pick-up skills again and again; I was forced to stuff a box of A-films at home; I had to lose my chest hair in order to be more sexy; I was forced to participate in "20 dates in 1 hour". . .

The comedy, of course, has a perfect ending. After all the hardships, Andy finally found his love, married the female pig's feet, and finally "scored home runs." .





I think Andy's biggest obstacle is not his physical appearance, nor his young hobby, but his own inner doubts.

Andy terms for sex is not so difficult, not that he could not, but he did not want to

he was too innocent and pure, and like a child

he did in between wondering, what is the point of such men and women of the matter is, in the end when what should the occasion with Who is the right person to do such a thing?

This is where the problem lies.

It is also the brilliant place of this film.

From the title to an average joke every ten minutes, it seems to be no different from those youthful comedies. If you just look at the film introduction, you will feel like "Isn't that the case?"

But when you see Andy’s sweet friend Monteel crying for the loss of his girlfriend, you will suddenly understand that although the whole film is full of "sex", the real promotion is "love". !

Love and responsibility, 40-year-old Andy finally learned this and finally became a real man.



Wonderful moment: There is

nothing more than the "hair removal" period. The male pig's feet screams really badly.. By the way, the Japanese chick is really ws...

Dr. Le Scoring System:

Plot: ★★★★☆ Except for people The incomprehensible Broadway ending, the others are outstanding!

Music: ★★★☆ The soundtrack when Andy was lying on the bed preparing for zw was really interesting..

Actor: ★★★★☆ The protagonist’s character portrayed quite well, each supporting role was brilliant, and the heroine played well..



General comment: ★★★★☆ Recommended for people over 18 years old, but those who don’t understand American culture may not understand..
