"Paul": the journey home of two dicks and a bird star

Two British sci-fi fans who were mistaken for gay men were inseparable. After attending Comic-Con, they took the opportunity to visit the famous Roseville incident in search of aliens. Unfortunately, the long-awaited alien was unexpectedly surprised by the two. Not only did he smoke, drink, and pick up girls, but he also knew the world's sophistication, which was quite mature and prudent. But this alien "Paul", who claims to have borrowed a dog's name, has to find his way home, and he has to ask for help from the two of them, thus unfolding an extraordinary funny and endearing episode. An embarrassing journey home.


If the starring Simon Pegg played a whole lot of tricks on zombies from start to finish in "Shaun of Zombies" last time, the little green man this time was also tricked to a great extent. The alien has been transformed into a mature man with a sense of reason and sophistication, in contrast to the traditional image of the mysterious and extremely high-tech. The unique creative conception of the two screenwriters and actors has to be admired, which strongly proves the classic saying that "talents are the most expensive in the 21st century".

Although the film is full of British and American spoof fun, the UK with frequent crop circles has indeed created a lot of whimsical talents, from "Hot Questions About Time Travel" in recent years to Duncan Jones' "Moon" and "Source" "Code" is explaining to the world that there is no limit to human imagination, and that small production costs and small production will produce great results. But this is what our people are extremely lacking in. I don’t know whether we have no imagination or we don’t pay attention to imagination. If we can distinguish this first, it may be an improvement. When foreign countries have organized and planned the search for aliens, we are still entangled in the old topic of whether there are aliens, and we have to admit that we are still far away from others.
