You give me ham, I give you comfort

The character that impressed me most in this film is Emma Thompson's mother: the old lady always dreamed of going to Greece, she always took the trouble to call her unmarried daughter, and she always suspected that the Polish neighbor was a murderer , staring at him from the window every day - the result is that one day someone threw a large bag at the door of the old lady, not the body fragments, but the smoked ham.
Every normal person knows that the probability of your neighbor being a murderer is as small as being knocked 20 meters away by a sports car at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. Is the probability of a person finding true love the same? The ham you want will never be delivered to your door. Dustin Hoffman lost almost all the ham he should have: his job was taken away by a young man; his daughter who was about to marry wanted his stepfather to walk her down the red carpet; even the plane was arguing with him, Leave him stranded at the airport with nowhere to go. But at the same time, God also prepared a huge ham for this old guy, and the god of luck took it and smashed it on the protagonist's head: the other party is also a loser without ham, and the old man is still in his room, all day long. Had to deal with my mother's nagging. It is impossible for two people to be as passionate as young people. They love romantic legends and clouds and mountains. What they have in common is that they are empty-handed and have no ham. So one sent the other to a writing class and waited slowly outside; this one followed the other to his daughter's wedding, encouraging him to tell how he really felt—sometimes you couldn't tell what he liked about her, she Why did you accept him, everything was so bland, you gave me ham, and I gave you comfort.
I like the loose British taste of this film, although it is not strong. Love watching Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson sitting in an airport bar talking about how to put on a straight face, watching them dance at a wedding, watching them walk down the street, talking about themselves authentically and naturally The life of the people - there is no romantic style, it is all the breath of ham, the breath of life. Dustin Hoffman is undoubtedly excellent, he hides the vicissitudes and embarrassment behind his humble smile, but Emma Thompson is even more worthy of admiration, she has a special energy and cuteness about her, regardless of age. She can let you ignore the face and directly feel the beauty of the character's heart. A very cliché story, because of a lot of lovely details, because of two excellent actors, it also shines brightly - like a ham, even if you don't like it at all, but it is still on your doorstep. like.
