Many people don't know that this is actually the first work Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan collaborated on, not "Sleepless in Seattle". However, because the production quality of this film is really ordinary and the content is very weird, its popularity and box office are far lower than that of "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Electronic Love Letter." Soon. When he didn't know what to do with the rest of the time, a mysterious boss suddenly appeared and begged him to go to a small island to complete the sacrifice of jumping a volcano, so that the local tribal chief would allow the mining of the island's minerals for a reward Until then, Joe will have a lot of money to spend, and the feat will give him the personal value he craves. The boss's daughter personally drove Joe to send him off. Along the way, they experienced a shipwreck adventure. After reaching the island, they fell in love and even got married... This seems to be a normal story, about life, love, life and so on. However, in terms of style, the film can be said to be very out of touch. At the beginning of the film, the medical device company where Joe works is depicted as a huge and eerie steel factory built in the wilderness. However, after the mysterious boss came to the door, the film returned to a slightly in-depth love film mode. Until the last volcano jumping, the film entered an absurd atmosphere. After the two asked the chief to witness the marriage, they actually jumped into the movie together. volcano, and then they were ejected by the erupting volcano and fell into the sea unharmed. Obviously, there are many metaphors in the movie, from the factory at the beginning, to Meg Ryan playing a triangle, to the life-saving suitcase, the huge moon at sea, and the jumping volcano, so many elements are mixed together, and they are also related to the movie. The framework of the overall romantic comedy of the film is somewhat mutually exclusive, and a quirky love fairy tale fable was born.
