Before watching this movie, we may think that "Face Change" directed by John Woo said that a gangster and a policeman exchanged their faces with each other, and then carried out the story of espionage, espionage. The story structure is slack and slack, tightening the nerves of the audience, and perfectly showing the character of the characters in the play, and reflects the violent aesthetics of Master Wu Yusen everywhere, which can be called a perfect movie type film. However, although this work "Two Men Become Wrong" is very different in concept from "Changing Faces", there is no intrigue between characters. What he uses is a comedy style, which interprets the relationship between two people with different identities. After experiencing each other's life, how did they find their own origin—what they truly love.
David and Mickey are good friends from childhood to adulthood, and they know each other as much as they know themselves. In the eyes of everyone, the successful person is David. He has his own family, his own children, and his own career. It seems that they are in a good relationship with each other, but this is actually a living situation that David does not like. When he got up, facing the two "clamoring" children and constantly being "tortured" by the children, David's heart almost collapsed. On the other hand, David's three-point and one-line work style made him lose interest in the sex life after marriage, and the communication with his wife became less and less. This is what he called married life. A lonely man can only live with The obscenity has become the laughing point of the audience. Mickey's situation is just the opposite of David's. He has no wife and no family. He has a lot of time and energy to do what he wants to do. He is drunk on the love between men and women, and resolutely. He became a male actor in a tertiary film, and his appearance was as bohemian as the work he did. This kind of pursuit of life without much pursuit also made Mickey feel boring about his own life. In this way, the core contradiction of the film is established. The two protagonists are dissatisfied with their current life, and the two people love each other's life. Perhaps, it may really become a better feeling for convenience.
The most difficult thing for us to do is to see ourselves, and when we see ourselves, it is difficult to accept. Through the dramatic change of the film, the decision of fate allows them to exchange bodies with God's will. In this way, accompanied by surprise and horror, helplessly began each other's life. Mickey wanted to live someone else's life, but he immediately lost his interest in the beginning. Facing the real David's intense work situation, Mickey couldn't accept it. He happily showed his true colors in front of people. This kind of pain David also has the same experience, dirty rooms, moldy things and vulgar third-level filming studios, the confusion makes David dizzy, and he originally thought that romantic friends of the opposite sex are sinister human nature. Looking for value in this process misses the real value.
Mickey's change lies in his father's evaluation of him, punks, three-minute popularity, etc. These are all stickers that Mickey can't wash away, so he tried his best to prove that he was not as absent-minded as others said. , doing nothing. He began to face up to what he called the boring life of a lawyer in David's life, devote himself wholeheartedly to it, became a person who was no longer hot for three minutes, reversed his previous self at the negotiating table, and found success. While living Mickey's life, David regained his longing for family and his love. He also remembered that family is the most important thing. Aside from work, he only works hard for his family. Work is. The two who knew their own path found their worth and successfully lived their own lives.
I think some people will call this film vulgar because of the amount of nudity and low-level laughs, but he finds his own highlights in real people, which works equally well on anyone.
