The rough people in either Hong Kong or Taiwan have turned About Schmidt into "Mr. Sweet Potato". No way, who makes them uneducated?
Jack Nicholson (Jack Nicholson) starred in Mr. Schmidt. Jack Nicholson played a stubborn, strong, and pervasive character from time to time. He explained it, I think it must be worth seeing. He is finally old, from a young prodigal who flew over the cuckoo's nest to an old man with a big belly. Like all ordinary office workers, he has retired and is at a loss for the future and the rest of the time. When he had just decided to do something meaningful-sponsoring a 6-year-old orphan from Black Africa-his wife suddenly died of a stroke. You must know that Mr. Schmidt is a person who has no sense of housework, and soon the house becomes a garbage dump. His escape method was to drive to his daughter's wedding. His car is a 15-meter-long home RV-a means of transportation that we Chinese find difficult to understand-only to transport him alone. Some stories happened along the way. He was looking back at his past and trying to find a way of life to face the future. When we arrived at the quasi-in-law’s home, we saw the vulgar family in the United States with him, and we deeply sympathized with his situation and partly agreed with his intention to stop his daughter from marrying. However, his daughter felt very happy, and Mr. Schmidt followed. Although unwilling, there was really nothing wrong with the speech at the wedding.
He has been writing letters to the sponsored black boy. His name is Ndugu. His name is quite interesting. Schmidt knew that his complicated words could not be understood by the other party at all, but only to vent for himself (in fact, he sometimes lied innocuously). Until one day, when he came back from his daughter's wedding, he picked up a bunch of letters (mostly direct mail ads, I guess), and saw a letter from Africa. The letter was written by a French-speaking nun, who answered for Ndugou, saying that Xiaoen was only 6 years old and could not understand your letter, but he was very grateful for your help, so he drew a picture, hope you like. So Mr. Schmidt opened the painting, which is loved by children all over the world. He used extremely simple brushwork to draw an adult, pulling a child with a scribbled blue sky and a big sun. Then Mr. Schmidt cried into a mess, and when the ending music played, he smiled a little.
At the end, I remembered another work by Salinger (the author of "The Catcher in the Rye"): "To Esme, With Love and Sadness". I still remember the final plot of the novel (roughly). Mr. X cried and then fell asleep, but he felt very good, because people who cry, have hope, and can live.
The screenwriter of this movie must be copying Salinger's novel!
