"Although I haven't seen him for ten years, I know I will miss him forever. I never made friends as good as the twelve-year-old group of people. Maybe everyone is like this?" In the movie At the end of "Along with Me", these few words typed on the computer by the protagonist became a classic line widely circulated. Indeed, in our life, I am afraid that only friendships formed when we are ignorant and ignorant are the purest and most precious, but this is also the most fragile, because as we grow up, these people will unknowingly one by one. Left us.
Therefore, when it comes to the topic of childhood friendship, it always seems to be a little nostalgic and sad, but there is a movie that shows us another form of this topic, a crazy and happy form. This movie is "Catch People Game .
For most people, especially men, one of the most common games played in childhood is "catch people". You catch me, and I will catch others. Everyone runs wild on the playground and releases exuberant sweat in the sweat. Energy has also deepened mutual friendship. The childhood friendship of the five friends of Jerry, Callahan, Hoggy, Randy and Cyber is deepened in this "catching people" game. However, unlike others, when everyone walks out of the elementary school, they no longer When playing this "naive" game, the five of them persevered, and they played it for more than 30 years.
This is the story that "Catch People Game" is going to tell us. A group of wrinkled uncles who have already married and established a business are still playing their "catch people game" like urchins, and their battlefield is no longer a school playground. It's the entire United States. In May of each year, the entire country is the playground of these five "old urchins", dressed as old ladies and lurking in the trunk, as long as they can catch each other, they will use countless magic tricks that do not violate the law.
Although this is a family comedy movie, it also has a "villain", that is Jerry played by Jeremy Renner (this sentence sounds like a tongue twister). In their game, Jerry always wins the one. The other four people have never caught him for 30 years. So this time I took the opportunity of Jerry’s wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my friends. Determined to "kill" him completely. However, the devil is the devil, and Jerry once again told his old folks what an "impossible mission" is .
As a comedy, "The Game of Catching People" is quite satisfactory. It is a routine American comedy, but the subject matter is very novel. In the confrontation between Jerry and the other four friends, we saw all kinds of unexpected pranks, which reminded me of my favorite "Home Alone" series when I was young. Maybe there are pranks in the bones of human beings. Even if you have seen the same trick a hundred times, you will still laugh when you see it again.
Another interesting point in the film is the thick stack of "treaties." For more than 30 years, the world has changed, and the "game of catching people" has to change with the times. Although the five people will "rogue" this time every year, they have always regarded this "raffle" as a serious matter. To look at. Although the whole movie is spent in madness and funny, it also has a serious and serious core like that treaty, that is, friendship can be eternal.
Although, as we were growing up, we didn't know when we were separated due to family business and other reasons, but what this movie tells us is that it's nothing. True friendship cannot be separated by time and distance. Just like the characters in the film, whether they are business leaders, veterinarians or hippies, as long as this time comes every year, they will overcome everything and appear next to their friends just to touch them. each other's shoulders, told him , "Hey, I caught you anyway" .
What's more unexpected is that all of the performances in the movie actually have real prototypes. At the end of the film, we saw a few hand-held DV clips. Although the uncles in the clips are not as handsome as the movie actors, they have beer belly and baldness, but they are still like children, and even some of their actions are better than those in the movie. The acting is even crazy. Although they have white beard and hair, they still have the joy of children on their faces. I think this is eternal friendship.
"We don't stop playing because we grow old, but we grow old because we stop playing . " In the 100 minutes of "Catch People", we not only saw the old boys on the screen, but also let us see the old boys in reality. It also told us that happiness will not disappear, and friendship will not disappear. , As long as friends are together, they will always be young and go crazy forever.
Finally, when "Avengers 3" was released a while ago, everyone was asking where the "Eagle Eye" played by Jeremy Renner went? I was also curious and realized after watching this movie that he was busy playing "catch people game" with his friends. Childhood friendship is not easy when Thanos is here~
