Surface dignity and inner integrity are two different things

That's right, due date is indeed too much his grandfather's way of embarrassment, pure comedy, it is absolutely true that people can laugh, but personally think it is not as thrilling.

Ethan is a disgusting person at first glance, even scared. If I meet him, I must think he is a pervert, so I stay away from him. However, people with perverted daily behaviors have noble spiritual will; and Peter is obviously a high-level white-collar worker who is willing to be common in our daily lives. The middle class of society has the identity of an architect and a happy family in LA, but he has a bad temper and is really bad.


The embarrassing journey of these two people so stumbled into this comedy. If we only look at it from the perspective of the moral of the story, I think it tells us at least one thing: superficial dignity and inner integrity are two different things. Intolerable masturbation, marijuana as an excuse, and an overly insensitive attitude towards others, all make ordinary people retreat. But it is a person whose living habits seem sloppy, a person who really regards promises as promises, and in this society Most of them only use promise as wind. However, we must also bear in mind that the two are obviously not mutually exclusive. Although Peter is not noble enough, he is not insignificant. The humor of his fuck sentence praying to the urn completely swept away the world's normalcy.

So next time, when we see those sloppy people at first glance, should they be more tolerant and less self-righteous. After all, no matter how bad the world is, everyone still knows in their hearts that their inner nobility is noble.

    Peter Highman: I just had the strangest dream. It's Friday. We're at the hospital. But it's not a hospital, it's a, a, a forest of sorts. And I know that because right next to you there's a bear. A grizzly, cooling his feet in a stream. And all of a sudden, you begin to deliver, and I can't get to you. But the bear can. And the next thing I know, he is holding our beautiful baby boy. And here's where it gets odd. Uh, he chews the cord. But, strangely, I'm okay with it. That's gotta be a good sign.
