The three protagonists in the cemetery intersection, Freddy is tired of the dirty and tiring work of the blue-collar class, he applies for an insurance salesman, and fantasizes about living in a mansion and driving a Rolls Royce one day; Bruce is a cynical guy, he hates His cowardly father, who hated everything, and fighting seemed to be his only entertainment, he fought at every turn, and prison became a place where he often spent the night; and Snoke was a fat, unscrupulous, unremarkable man who fantasized about being Elton. John, imagining that one day sooner or later, he'll find a beautiful girl.
The relationship between the three best friends gradually changes when Freddie becomes an insurance salesman. Freddy thinks that Bruce and Snooker have nothing to do all day long, just waste their youth and life; and Bruce and Snooker also think that Freddy is becoming more and more boring, more and more like those rich people who are pretentious and polite. And every time they argue, Bruce will say that we go together and leave this oppressive city together, but Freddy will always say that you are just talking, you are actually very cowardly, and you have no courage to leave here at all. I think if the anger between them can be dissolved through fists, it will be easy to solve, but this kind of verbal injury is probably the most painful.
One day Freddie went to visit a former client. The host had died in an accident, and the hostess who left behind said that I would rather use the money we bought for insurance to travel. Freddie stopped at the door for a long time. Is the life of his boss or their star salesman what he wants? He saw that his colleagues were so tongue-in-cheek to get insurance policies that they had no moral bottom line. As for his boss, the long-term working life has made him more and more arrogant. Even if his wife brought him a cup of warm tea, he would not say thank you. His eyesight no longer has his wife, love, and family. There is only a mercenary heart. Is this the life he dreams of? The daughter of his boss, Julie, whom he loves, is about to marry his eloquent colleague. Is this also her happiness?
He invited his friends to leave with Julie to explore the unknown and new world outside.
At this moment, Bruce entered the detention center again because of another fight. His father's friend, a prison guard finally couldn't stand it anymore. He taught Bruce angrily and told him that his father was not cowardly and watched his mother run away with other men. His father was just a coward. No one took care of Bruce after worrying about his impulsive behavior. For his son, he swallowed and lived. Bruce returned home and sat silently beside his father, without speaking, he just took out two bottles of beer from his body and drank silently like his father. He didn't meet Freddie at the train station, and he and his father needed more time to make up for past traumas and neglected kinships.
Before leaving, Snoke went to meet the girl who liked him but was not very beautiful. He found that they had so many common topics to talk about. He found that although she was not beautiful, he fell in love with her, and he also Decided to stay, stay to appreciate the beauty of love.
On the train, Freddie was alone, and Julie was not. The director is really a caring person. At the last moment, Julie arrived at the station, and the two jumped on the starting train together. Freddy jokingly said, why are we in such a hurry, there is still a train to the distance in an hour. Hehe, yes, it is never too late to chase our dreams. Even if we miss this time, there are still opportunities waiting for us.
The director was too kind, and the movie finally settled on the road to happiness. But what we can expect is that if Freddie and Julie are not going well in the outside world, will they still be able to maintain their love for each other? If Bruce's mother comes back, what will Bruce do with his father and mother? And our lovely snooker, if one day a beautiful girl really falls in love with him, can he still firmly love this ugly but kind-hearted girl? I think whether it is for the characters in the movie or us in reality, it seems that Douyou has many choices and twists and turns waiting for us. But no matter what our choices are in the future, thanks to this movie, at least in these 90 minutes, our hearts can be freely exiled.
ps: Ricky Gervais, one of the original directors, is Freddie's father in the film, and the director and starring in "The Birth of a Lie"! I said look how familiar he is.
