Forty, Chinese ancient culture said, don't be confused! Yeah? If confused, what should I do? This is an American movie!
40 years old, I remember that this theme is also Jacky Cheung / 2002's "Men Forty", which is an urban emotional movie:
Lin Yaoguo (Jacky Cheung), a Chinese teacher in a middle school in Hong Kong , who is in his forties, is a "good gentleman" who has disappeared. He was a well-known talent in the school when he was studying. Now facing his former classmates who were so prosperous and able to play golf in their leisure time, he has only gained an unspeakable loss, but in the eyes of his "bad student" Hu Cailan (Lin Jiaxin) , He is a mature and charming man with connotation.
Earlier there was Li Xuejian's "Forty Not Confused" in 1992. It was the confused eyes of many urban populations in China in the early
1980s : In the 1980s, mainland China ushered in the third peak of population births, and many couples responded to the family planning policy as long as A child. Middle-aged Beijing photojournalist Cao Depei (Li Xuejian) and his young and beautiful wife Duan Jinghua (Song Dandan) are the representatives. They form a happy family of three with their 5-year-old son Han Han. Cao Depei is also about to usher in his career climax, and his film festival is being planned.
Compared with those forty in China, this American film is obviously completely modern. Of course, what people originally showed was the life of the middle class in the United States!
That's true, it's not the same!
Therefore, as far as this film is concerned, the material collision brought about by the ideological and economic crisis, the improvement of life, etc., these American things, let's take a look at them!
It may be more beneficial to experience some real clips of ordinary American families from the film! After all, this is a light comedy!
