After the rain it will always be sunny

Cage continued his melancholy style, and his inner babbling narration somewhat departed from the "Lord of War" model, but in this film, what Cage experienced was obviously not the thrill of "Lord of War", but ordinary life. Nightmare depression.

In the film, Cage works as a weather forecaster on a Chicago TV station, earning an annual salary of 240,000 yuan and living in a high-end apartment with a view of the river and the street, but he does not have the happiness constructed by material conditions. After his wife divorced him and took away a pair of children, he watched another man enter and leave his wife's house every day; the daughter was a chubby chubby girl who was often ridiculed by her classmates at school; the son was beautiful, red lips and white teeth, but he was greeted by a gay man. Harassment...he does his best to be funny on TV, but that doesn't bring him joy in life. Although he is a celebrity, he is often thrown by passers-by on the street with drinks, hamburgers, milkshakes and other malicious perpetrators. Chu's unfortunate encounters made people feel that his life was so useless, and every little misunderstanding that could not be explained clearly made people feel that he was an unreasonably bad man.

The film spends most of its time depicting this poor character who is always oppressed by life. This feeling is really bad. ...Even an optimistic person like me was almost depressed after seeing it, so I would advise those who have been unhappy recently to not watch this movie for the time being.

If you want to change your life, you first have to change yourself, and I guess that's what I'm going to talk about in the last part of the movie. Cage later began to learn archery and practiced very hard; he also accepted an offer from a major New York TV station to get a higher-paying job; took his daughter to buy beautiful clothes; beat gay men for his son; his new understanding of work also made him No longer the funny clown in the eyes of the audience... Life seems to be the same as before, but the essence is completely different.

However, the overall feeling that the exciting content behind is a little thin, and it can only slightly relieve the depressed mood of more than an hour before. Anyway, after watching this movie, I quickly changed to another movie to adjust my mood, otherwise I might have a boring nightmare at night.

In the film, it was mentioned that Cage and his wife divorced because of a bottle of mayonnaise. His wife told him to go out and buy mayonnaise. And not long ago, I read a girl on a forum who wrote that the reason for her divorce was because her husband didn't answer her call the day before. Ask the men around, and they all seem to be unreasonable about the reaction of women, but in fact, if you change to a woman, you can immediately understand that these are just trigger points. It may be difficult for men to understand how terrifying the power that accumulates over time. Every little friction may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. So if you want your marriage to successfully cross the desert of life like a camel, try to let it go lightly.
