The Sorrows of Little People During the Great Depression

Since we have never experienced the economic crisis, we cannot empathize with Dick's experience. After 15 years of being a vice president, he was pulled over by his boss. The new lawn he just bought was taken away, and he couldn't afford to support his car. After the sale, I still owe the bank 150,000 yuan. Finally, the power and water were cut off. The bank finally sent an ultimatum: forcibly move out within 24 hours.

Dick and his wife are low-level people who can't resist the great torrent of the economic crisis, and finally embarked on the road of crime. However, at the beginning, this pair of "male and female thieves" could only rob a convenience store but just drink drinks without paying. , because of human nature, and even Jenny planned to rob the rich to help the poor, because they are kind, so they can't do these things at first

On the other hand, Jack emptied all the company's funds and ran away. The company's 6,000 employees didn't get any severance pay. The old employees went to sell drugs, open underground cockfights, and rob, but he was hunting on vacation.

So Dick decided to take revenge on Jack completely before he was charged, but the plan was found out.

Threat of dick tearing at the bank Baba: I won't walk out of this bank empty-handed

For Jim Carrey, it's acting; for Dick, it's his resentment over the past 15 years for such a result. Why should a good person be treated so unfairly? I'm still very fortunate that I didn't meet a boss like Jack, otherwise for the sake of being a bull and a horse, what is the meaning of "you're only worth this price"?

As a satirical comedy, it mostly reflects the helplessness and sadness of the little people, so we hope that they will have a good ending after the screen, although the economic crisis is not over at that time.

Ps: Dick's former colleague finally went to Anlong, and then Anlong went bankrupt soon. Rather than using a virtual global attack as an introduction, it is mainly to satirize Anlong.
