The dream of a country is a magic horse, the author does not know. This is not that the author is ignorant, but that the author is really just an ordinary and somewhat mediocre person. I only have my little dream in my heart. As long as I can realize this insignificant dream, I will have no regrets in this life. Everyone has such a small dream in his heart, and when everyone’s dreams come together, they may form the national dream of the country. Then, the American dream may be just the little golden dream of every gold digger who set foot on the New World.
This movie tells the dream journey of three American partners in pursuit of the American dream.
People say that the truth is more bizarre than fantasy. The line of ED in this movie appropriately describes the author's feeling after watching this movie. If this movie is just an original story, then I will definitely not waste time writing this film review. It is precisely because of the authenticity of this story, especially the authenticity of the heavy-tasting plots in the story, that makes the author really get goose bumps.
Just like the name of the movie, the pay and gain, it interprets the theme of the movie very well. This American partner is similar to the Chinese partner not long ago, but the Chinese partner conveys positive energy, while this American partner molested the gold digger’s American spring and autumn dreams from head to toe.
The film tells how the three American partners, Daniel, Adrian and Paul, get together under the leadership of the dreamy Daniel and work hard for their dreams of wealth. Of all those who go to America to find their dreams, Asians are indeed the most successful. Therefore, the setting of the role of Johnny Wu actually reflects the American view of foreign gold prospectors. Americans have always been unwelcome to Asians, believing that their success is based on shameful means. The Do'er and Don'ter concepts advocated by Johnny Wu are the ultimate motivation for Daniel to implement the plan. Although the spirit of hard work is indeed one of the core concepts of the American Dream, it is really ironic from the movie's perspective.
Daniel is just an ordinary fitness consultant, but he happens to meet Pepe, a customer who has a very bad personality and always loves to show off his wealth. So he was aroused by the hatred of wealth and the dream of getting rich, but he himself was called the American Dream. He accidentally saw Johnny Wu who was overwhelming viral marketing. Therefore, he resolutely embarked on his own dream-seeking path of no return.
The journey of the three Daniels grabbing the first pot of gold in their lives was very fast and very easy. It can be described as getting rich overnight. This is exactly what most people dream of. The three partners started their ideal lives. It's a pity that the good times don't last long. Once a bad habit is formed, it is difficult to quit. Wealth gained from getting rich is not as good as hard-earned wealth. So Paul and Adrian quickly ran out of money. And a new money-grabbing plan is imperative. Of course, this also became the fuse for their complete failure. Originally, Daniel Gaoneng's money-grabbing plan was perfect, even if Pepe was not dead, he couldn't do anything to them. Human greed is always insurmountable. Plans outside the plan will always show their feet. And this leak put Daniel in checkmate. The legendary experience ends here.
This movie reflects a very real thing, that is, the evil hidden behind the American dream. The film's title Pain&Gain actually uses a proverb-No Pain, No Gain. You can gain from paying. The American dream needs to be pursued step by step. Only by working hard can you truly change your status. Reaping for nothing and getting rich overnight will only trigger the evil thoughts that put oneself in jail. The American dream is beautiful, but the reality is that the American dream has caused a lot of crime, which constitutes the biggest irony of the American dream.
There is actually no essential difference between Daniel and Pepe in the movie. They both misinterpret the meaning of the American dream. They only see the pursuit of wealth, but ignore that the pursuit of wealth requires a down-to-earth. It's really ironic that Pepe's wealth acquired through gray channels was robbed alive by Daniel.
At the end of the film, Daniel's narration under the banner of Stars and Stripes after his sentence is really regrettable. If they are allowed to escape by chance, maybe their American dream will be realized. According to Daniel's plan, maybe he will really benefit the country. But the author does not sympathize with them! It was their stupidity that caused all this. They planned so much, but ignored the biggest resistance to their failure, which is their stupidity! They stupidly want to realize their American dream through crime! I have to say that sometimes a crime with a low IQ can make the author even more stunned! They owe a fire when they should work hard, and in Pepe's words, none of them fucking went to college. People like them should be so poor and white, they should be insulated from wealth, and even if they are given a large amount of wealth, they will quickly lose out. They only have such a big bucket, how much water can they hold!
