"I wish I were big!" "Your wish is granted!"
This movie is one of my childhood memories, but I didn't find her by accident until the year before, and the excitement at that time was really indescribable. This year's release was in 1988. I was just born that year. I will take a look at it in 2018 and miss the happiness of my childhood.
The director of this film is Penny Marshall, a female director. In addition to her films, she has only seen "Silent Asking the Sky" starring Robert De Niro, which is also a good film. There are many time-travel movies. This movie has a female perspective and feeling, with a special sense of delicacy in it, and the aftertaste is endless. In the plot, the children's all kinds of gossip and the pure feelings of the beginning of love are explained by the director very real, and they are also very attractive to the viewers, because we have come here too.
Like many children, the protagonist Josh has childhood troubles, mother's nagging, restrained life, troubles at school, and love at first but overwhelmed, and finally can't sit in a colorful playground because of his small size. The roller coaster erupted. Josh accidentally came to a wishing machine (this was one of my impressions of this movie when I was a child), put in 25 cents and made a wish "I wish I were big!" The solitary wishing machine started running, looking terrible and output a card, "Your wish is granted!". Josh's "Fairy Tale" begins...
The next day, the male protagonist woke up to find his grown-up burlesque, and I felt like he had fooled me, as if he really grew up overnight. At this time, he exclaimed, it turned out to be Tom Hanks. He is really a great actor with a wide range of dramas. Of course, when he was a child, he didn't know that he was a genius.
For the change, Josh was more afraid. He didn't dare to face his mother, and rushed back to the playground in horror, but the wishing machine was no longer there, so overwhelmed Josh could only go home to face his mother. Here, when he came home, he rushed into the house and saw his mother immediately ran out to rub the soles of her shoes. It was a funny image, that is, the female director could notice this detail.
Josh's mom freaks out, um, and his little buddy Billy. But obviously, it is easier for a child to accept a ridiculous fact than for an adult. After his parents called the police and Josh ran away from home, Billy did everything to help him, even giving Josh his father's emergency money at the risk of being beaten.
After a good BGM, he came to New York, a colorful adult world, but he was really scared on the first night. The next day began to search for the wishing machine, but it was not easy, and I hoped that it would take a long wait. The "30-year-old" Josh had to find a job to support himself, so Josh came to a toy company and met the beautiful heroine here.
It was difficult for him to adapt to the world of adults, and he couldn't fully understand it, just like the disbelief on his face when he first received his salary. emmmmmmmmm, enjoy the life of an adult has begun. . . . . .
One day, Josh stumbled into a toy store and ran into his boss while he was having fun. Of course, the boss came to do market research. Josh's understanding of toys and the playful attributes that adults do not have made the boss very optimistic about him (after all, Josh is also a child). In this section, he and the boss dance the chopsticks waltz on the electric keyboard on the floor. In the adult world, his purity is ridiculous, but there are also many people who like him, such as the boss and the beautiful heroine.
Gradually integrated into the life of adults, after having status, love, and honor, he seems to have forgotten that he is a child and a parent. Attitudes towards Billy also become alienated. Billy was angry "I'm your best friend, what's more important than that?" Josh started to get lost and lost, he was worried about losing love and everything, but he also knew that he had to return to his true self "I want to go home".
He confessed everything to the hostess, but the hostess couldn't accept that he just didn't want to promise and be responsible, but after gradually finding some clues, she ran to Josh who was looking for a wishing machine. "Your wish is granted!" The hostess looked at the wishing card and accepted the fact, and calmly faced the little man she loved. Facing the heroine, Josh innocently invited the heroine to return to the age of 13 with him. "I've been there before. It's hard enough the first time". I want to change, but I don't want to go back. Every age group has its own troubles.
The hostess sent Josh home, and the hostess kissed Josh's forehead for the last goodbye. This is true love. Josh became smaller as he walked, and when Josh, who was holding a big suit, looked back at the heroine, the fairy tale ended.
Watching this film, I feel like I've been through time. When I was young, I saw the wide roads, villas, all kinds of cars, high-rise buildings and various toys inside, and it was amazing. Now I don't have the same feeling as before, but I also have the feeling of going back to the past.
The whole film is well-paced and doesn't drag on. The characters are plump, the male protagonist's acting skills are overwhelming, and the details are in place. The contradictions in the plot are prominent and reasonable, and the links are linked together. Coupled with Hanks' superb acting skills, the comedy effect is very successful. The various emotions of the characters are also expressed in place, and it is a very good movie.
