Alternative youth

If the sequel of a movie is twelve years later, the original episode is definitely not a commercial movie, but it must be popular. If the starring remains unchanged, then it must have a special flavor.

The story is not complicated. To be precise, there is no story in the traditional sense at all. It is full of details. The details make up the style, and the details draw out the characters.

Two shop assistants: Dante, Landau. Dante is fat, Landau has a beard, Landau has no beard, Dante is honest, and Landau is very rebellious. The two match black and white, the contrast is strong, and the cross talk, pushing and rubbing the middle film roll forward.

This pair of living treasures is not a successful person with social recognition. Convenience store clerk from 21 to 33 can be described as an extremely poor resume, no wonder it is despised by Internet rookies. The convenience store in the opening twelve years of "Two" was burnt up. The two switched to fast food in an instant ("Shun" is not "Shun"), and they used another episode to prove that madness does not decay with their duties.

Dante is a standard soft persimmon. He was called by his boss, and he didn't dare to go violently after he had complained. The days were mixed with each other. Landau is a saboteur, cynical, constant swearing, and has a crazy life principle. He tied everyone around (in fact, only Dante) to his chariot, and launched an eternal charge toward the society.

If you believe in the harmony of yin and yang, Dante is a little bit less positive than the society requires, and Landau is a little bit behind. Dante blamed others for the failure of his life, but he swallowed his voice to the extreme and would not hurt others; on the contrary, Landau would just let it out if he had anything to say, making everyone crazy, leaving a mess, slapped his ass, and left. . The two different attitudes to life move towards reconciliation in the struggle, but they are not simply arithmetic of adding and dividing by two to get the average. No wonder, this is life.

At the end of "Two", two crazy shop assistants bought the leftover convenience store and returned to the original point. Jie outside the door continued the ghost dance, Bobby remained silent, the groceries on the shelf were clearly sorted, the woman in front of the freezer was still looking for the perfect jar of milk, Landau continued to quarrel with Dante, this alternative youth has passed, but will still continue.
