i have an issue

I logged on to the wrong account and accidentally discovered one of my own blogs, which was opened in 2006, and only wrote two articles, one of which is this movie journal. I don't remember the content of this movie anymore, so I read it curiously. I remembered that at that time, I was watching movies and writing film journals very seriously. In 2006, my speech was a little trivial and long-winded. I like the kind of trivial and fragmented movies, but now I like them more, such as Mike Lee's "Another Year", which has a long meaning. When I saw the place I was touched at that time, I felt it was very strange and novel. I also reminisced about that moment in the movie. This reaction was a bit slow. Obviously, I have drawn a distance from myself 5 years ago, but it feels really good. good.

If I had to rate this film, I would probably give it only 6 points. I've never liked movies where the dialogue is too lifelike, trivial and sometimes noisy. I mean, even if the movie expresses life, the way of speaking in the movie should not be the same as in life, it should be "acting", not contrived acting, natural acting, but not copying the feeling of life, it should be dramatic. I don't know if I made it clear or not. In fact, there are many classic movies like this, but I get bored and can't watch them anymore, especially English movies.

"Friends Are Rich" is just that. And what I despise is that it blatantly goes by the name of the "Friends" movie board because there is an Aniston in it. In fact, the plot has no connection at all. So I see this movie is in their hands - it's all about Aniston. Even though the process of watching the movie has been quite strenuous, I persevered until the end.

If you ask what the film is about, it has no plot at all. Olivia lives in poverty and is a maid, but has three very wealthy couples and friends. The three couples are actually full of contradictions and suspicions. I guess what the film wants to show should be "rich is not necessarily happy, poor is not necessarily painful". But in fact, Olivia's life is miserable. She lives by helping people clean rooms. When she sees people whose living conditions are worse than hers, she can't even bargain, so she can only help him clean his disgusting and messy room at a very low price. ; I often go to the counter to ask for trial makeup of cosmetics; I have a very bad boyfriend. In addition to having sex, he accompanies her to help people clean the room. After finishing, he asks her for money, "I helped." He stretched out his hand, thick said cheeky.

I still look bored. Hope it ends sooner.

But later, when Olivia quit her job, she met the man who had a "worse living situation than her" and put the price down to 50 yuan. He was a big fat man, he had no job, he was dumb, and he was not good at words, but they chatted very speculatively. , which brought the relationship closer. Olivia later took him to a charity gala hosted by a wealthy couple, and when friends asked her about her new boyfriend's work, she embarrassed herself and apologized to him on the way back. Fatty told him hesitantly at this time: I usually don't say this to people I just met, but in fact, I don't work because I'm rich, and I inherited a large inheritance from XXX.

It's just like a fairy tale.

At the end of the film, they're naked on the bed. Olivia suddenly asked, since you were rich, why were you only willing to give 50 yuan an hour?
The fat man was a little embarrassed and replied: I have an issue.
He didn't explain the issue further, but Olivia understood and touched his hand leniently and said, Everyone has an issue, including me.

Alas, my heart is suddenly moved. It seems that I suddenly understand why this film is presented in such a life-like and trivial way. Life is hard, no matter for the rich or the poor. If Olivia was a rich person, she would never look down on someone as fat and dull as a fat man, but poverty lowered her standard of living, She is easy to meet, not very demanding, just want someone who can talk to her who can marry her. So life gave her a gift, a rich but imperfect man. At least, she wasn't with him for his money. Even if there is any change in life in the future, what is unsatisfactory, Olivia can still endure, she is strong and satisfied, a little favor is a big happiness for her.

The film didn't talk about how the problems between the three couples were resolved until the end, the homosexuality, the building of the house, all without an end. Presumably the quarrel is still going on, those intolerance, those lack of communication, those face problems, those menopause irritability, are still continuing, as Yi Shu said, once the name is called, the troubles are still there, a lot.
