In 1928, the Jazz Age, Americans were flashy and boring. The chameleon male protagonist detonated attention to the appearance, and chameleon dances, pop songs (some lyrics said that he was a lizard), and souvenirs (the combination of the lizard and his appearance) appeared with his theme. Then the Jazz Age ended inexplicably, and the newspapers were inexplicably taken over by other things. (The absurdity of changing times) The heroine took a long time to heal him and let him find himself. The original domestic violence problem in his childhood made him cater to others. The first time he pretended that he had not watched Moby-Dick, but in order to have a topic with his classmates, he pretended that the male protagonist married a different person with a different personality, and cut off someone else's appendix by mistake. , delivered the child in the wrong way, crashed the car, said that he was a plasterer, and painted other people's houses in different colors. (Although I feel that these are made up by those people is still debatable) So Hollywood wants to recover the actor's fee to him, and he has already spent half of it, so Hollywood squeezes him every day except sleeping and acting. In the 1935 Hollywood movie "Transformers", the hero and heroine escaped from nacui, which is not at all true. They escaped embarrassingly, but the male protagonist temporarily turned into a pilot because of his illness, so he accidentally hit and hit the wrong attitude upside down and created a transatlantic record. Finally, after dealing with these legal issues, the female protagonist is still with the male protagonist. The cured mental patient is with his doctor. Even though the heroine earned her reputation for curing extraordinary cases at first, she found herself in love with him during the healing process. And after the heroine became famous, she found that this was not what she expected as a child.

I really didn't expect it to be a fake documentary, it really feels too similar to a documentary, Woody Allen yyds!

  • Leonard Zelig: [in a hypnotic trance] My brother beat me. My sister beat my brother. My father beat my sister and my brother and me. My mother beat my father and my sister and me and my brother. The neighbors beat our family. The people down the block beat the neighbors and our family.

  • Leonard Zelig: I'm 12 years old. I run into a Synagogue. I ask the Rabbi the meaning of life. He tells me the meaning of life... But, he tells it to me in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me six hundred dollars for Hebrew lessons.
