"Growing Up" was produced by Columbia in 2011. The film started with a basketball game more than 30 years ago. The male protagonist stepped on the line and shot a 2-pointer, but because no one found out in the last few seconds, he won the game. The five-member group of that year went their separate ways after that. After 30 years, the development was different, everyone gathered for the funeral of the team coach, and a series of interesting stories happened in the villa. In the end, everyone revealed what they thought, and the children were also in the hometown of their fathers, a place that looked like a paradise. They got rid of the shackles of electronic products and enjoyed the happiness of being with their family and friends.
Indeed, from the beginning of the film, the male protagonist Lenny's sons were immersed in the killing game. When Lenny took out his favorite game when he was a child, the sons showed no interest at all. This reminded me of our current living state, everyone. More and more inseparable from electronic products, thinking of more children now, addicted to the virtual world, and extremely obsessed with various social networks.
In the film, the five former teammates gathered together. Although they were "middle-aged", they were still young children in their hearts. Everyone watched beautiful women, played archery, and played basketball with the competitors and happily engaged in outdoor activities. Enjoying the outdoors while the real kids would rather stay at home, Lenny called the kids out to play and my son said "what are we going to do?" Commonly used words.
A while ago, there was a popular saying that the furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but I am right in front of you while you are playing with your phone. Because of my studies, I often take the bus, because the school time is relatively early, and the people who wake up are mostly young office workers. People are either playing with their phones with their heads down, or listening to music with headphones in their ears, which always makes me feel indifferent. of alienation. And I often wear headphones and walk through crowds, and when I see someone with headphones plugged in like me, I feel a sense of being isolated from each other.
In the film, the children found their lost happiness, playing in the water with their friends, and playing paper phones together in the villa, although I don't know that the sound can be heard without the straightened wire (...) but I can feel that it can only be obtained by communicating with people in real life, not the happiness that social networks can replace.
It is a comedy, and the performance of the five actors is really interesting, but it does feel the gap in cultural exchanges, and the various local slang customs are not well understood by people, or have unpredictable effects. In addition, the change of Lenny's wife in the second half of the film is too fast, which makes people still feel bad. And at the end, in order to express the theme, the confession that appeared was a little boring.
All in all, a very normal comedy, with the necessary pornographic jokes. Worth seeing~
