There are quite a few films recently, such as "Big Belly", "Too Bad", "The Eagle and the Shark", "The Eagle and the Shark". "Smiley Face" and so on, talking about sex while involving drugs, without losing vigilance. Although it is only a pretentious philosophy with a small foothold, it has enough gravitation to make people look at it three or two times without getting bored. These films are collectively referred to as Weird (weird, fate, spell) Moives, and "Smiley" is the most appropriate.
In other words, this is an extremely boring movie, unless you also think that if you frame your favorite things in photo frames and then display them, it will make a lot of sense. In addition to the big, soft bed she bought online for $999, Jane wants to frame her favorite spaghetti marinara; who else loves spaghetti? Yes, Garfield; it is also a good idea to frame Garfield in a photo frame. It is really deep to express her love for the marinade in this obscure way; in the ruffian tone that runs through "Smiley", it is: really him Damn deep.
Pretty young, blond Jane rarely had such deep thoughts, she was just a scruffy extra with a small addiction to marijuana until she swallowed the 14 cakes her roommate had left in the fridge for a party, inside Pack enough marijuana and things start to change. Jane's hearing was sharp, her vision was confusing, and worst of all, she was convinced of the absurd things she had foreseen to happen. In order to borrow money to compensate her roommates and pay for her own marijuana purchases, Jane took to the streets. The garage, phone booth, dental clinic and dry cleaning room were filled with her happy and excited smiling faces. When she came to the home of a professor when she was in college, a very ulterior climax of the plot came - the "Communist Manifesto" with a history of more than 100 years fell into the hands of angry young Jian, she went to a meat union without a labor union to promote her speech and was thrown away. Out of the house, but the extended mission of saving all mankind is not Jane's purpose, and she needs to rush to a cannabis party as soon as possible to avoid her beloved soft bed being mortgaged for cannabis expenses. As a result, Jane, who had been High for a day, was sentenced to five years in prison and 1,500 hours of volunteer labor.
The protagonist Anna Faris is a prolific second-tier Hollywood actor, beautiful and coquettish, with a moist and passionate lips, but unfortunately can only show off in the series of 5 fish belly "Scream" series; She also appeared in Brokeback Mountain, but the object of seduction was gay Jack; the beautiful girl in "Lost in Translation" was only a supporting role, and now, at an embarrassing age of more than 30, she is still working hard to make a close-up of the big camera, making a smiley face. A few folds give "Smiley" a little elusive depth.
The whole film is rich in color, strong in contrast, and the plot is simple but fun. After watching it in 1 hour and 20 minutes, the first feeling is that this movie that can reach a climax in self-talk should not be finished in only 80 minutes. . The so-called depth, of course, is the comic effect and awakening after the chaos of the boring life in the film. It should be noted that the warm film title is just an excuse for spoofing, and the smile is just a nervous reaction to the stimulation of drugs. The excited and inexplicable Jane's smiling face phantoms in the air from time to time, even in an instant, it magically turns into the legendary roommate used for masturbation. Skulls can only make people laugh.
In a segment near the end of the film, Jane asked the young Asian male who carried her in the film: Will you do a little thing that can change the trajectory of your life? The young man said blankly: I won't, because I have a job. The camera cuts, a middle-aged office worker who is driving is violently thumping the steering wheel because of the traffic jam; perhaps this is also the depth, escaping depravity or resigning to death in life. Maybe we can dig a little deeper. For example, more and more young people forget the third form of life: exploring, like those sassy hippies in the mid-20th century, they have been on the road, even sitting in the name of Dharma wanderers. On the top of the mountain, look at the starry sky and examine your heart. Of course, Jane, who has been in prison for 5 years, has many opportunities to look up at the unfathomable night sky, just as she walks in a bottomless boring life with a big smile on her face.
