Knowing that this work is a sequel to "One Night Big Belly",
I expected it would be two hours of feces and urine after laughing and forgetting.
However, Camel fell into contemplation in front of this comedy, which was
really an unexpected movie-watching experience.

The ancients said that "to stand at thirty, forty is not confused",
it means that when a person reaches middle age,
he has a family and a business, and builds everything around him in accordance with his own worldview.
But this is also the moment when
the values ​​of the two generations and even one's own partner
begin to collide with each other.

When both career and family are in what everyone calls "regular",
at the same time their own rationality and sensibility begin to wrestle with each other.
The purity and passion in the past have been replaced by trivialities and complexity. It
seems that everything in front of me is boring and tiresome,
and I am hovering on the edge of escape and explosion.

Thus, "forty and bewildered."
We are confused for
our persistence, and we are also confused for our wavering.
At an age when singing and dancing should be promoted to live and work in peace,
we began to struggle with things that seemed unreasonable.

So is it self-pity to continue to perplex?
Or should we embrace and tolerate dissent?
Self-examination, re-awaken the numb heart,
communicate a lot, and exchange ideas bravely.
In fact, many unspeakable things are not as complicated as we think,
and the relationship between people is not as fragile as we think.

Even if there are dark and depressing clouds
, the
brilliant sun will reappear in the sky after the heavy rain that follows .
