Cherish the present, live in the present

When the laughter of a movie can make you hold your belly, and the tears can make you draw tissues, I think, in any case, it should be a good movie. Even though, this is just a vulgar comedy.

In fact, I have never liked Adam Sandler very much. Compared with predecessor Jin Carrey, this guy is not even worse in comedy skills, with a stupid expression in his expression, and an exaggeration in his sluggish movements. And what makes people look down the most is his lack of pursuit in performance. Jim Carrey always tries to subvert his image that makes people laugh. He has tried to star in various types of movies, and he has also produced a word-of-mouth work such as "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind". Where's Adam? He has completely positioned himself as a "shit piss" comedian, relying on a trick, and narrowing his path between repeated repetitions. He has no ambition to win any awards in acting, except for the golden plum. A fairly fair evaluation of him should be that there are some good works, but more bad films.

Among his "not bad" works, I think the number one is "50 First Loves", and the number two is the next film-"Remote Control for Life".

If there is any similarity between the two films, then it is "lost." In "50 First Loves", what Barrymore loses are sweet memories of love again and again, while in "Remote for Life", what Sandler loses is one experience after another in his life.

Everyone will have this experience. At a certain time in life, we are tired of a certain thing in life, even life itself, and hope that time will pass sooner. When you are a child, you want to grow up quickly; when you encounter setbacks, you want to get through this difficult time as soon as possible. Or maybe you just want to skip the time spent with someone you don’t like, arguing with your loved ones. You can always hear people around you saying that it would be nice if you could get to a certain time soon. I think if this kind of magical remote control is really invented, the market prospects will be bright.

No matter from which point of view, this remote control is simply the opposite of the time machine. The time machine allows you to go back to the past, and the remote control allows you to come to the future. The time machine always exists to make up for regrets, and the remote control produces more regrets. What the magic remote control lacks is one of the most important functions. In the tunnel of time, one-way jump makes you unable to grasp what you missed. Even if you can look back and witness the picture when you missed it, you will never forget it. Unable to participate. When Adam repeated the last words his father said to him over and over, but his words could not reach his father's ears. At that moment, the sorrow and despair of the son's desire to nurture and kiss each other shocked everyone's hearts like a sledgehammer.

Put away the coat of science fiction or magic, in fact, this is a story about family and affection. When we are accustomed to everything around us, we don't know when this day will change. When we are desperately pursuing a happier life, we don't know that those bits and pieces that quietly pass by will be the warmest picture in our memories when we are dying old.

If this is a European movie, perhaps the whole plot will end at the moment when the aging Adam falls outside the hospital. Let us walk out of the theater in a great emotional shock and continue to think about what our lives have missed. Fortunately or unfortunately, this is a Hollywood comedy, so Adam has the opportunity to choose again. This time, he didn't hesitate to throw the remote control-the guy who made him through his life so fast, into the trash can. Huang Liang Yimeng made him understand the importance of family and affection. In real life, maybe he will still get his ideal career, and maybe he will not be able to get rid of the diaosi career played by BOSS for the rest of his life. But what does that matter? What he gets is a life that truly belongs to him.

Each of us has parents, and each of us also has or will always have our own children. Parents will always leave, and there will always be a day when children will no longer be entangled in your knees. Cherish the present, living in the present, how simple and simple it is.

But we are so superficial that we need a superficial comedy to remind us.
