Based on Toby Young's novel of the same name, the film "How to Betray Your Family" tells the story of a writer from England who struggles to fit in at a high fashion magazine in New York. Sidney Young is a despondent little British intellectual. He is both longing for and somewhat contemptuous of the fashion celebrity circle. As a reporter for a British magazine, he specially teases and ridicules those stars who are paid attention by the media all day long. Celebrities rejoice. At one point he even acted as a crazy "baby pig" at a banquet after the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards ceremony. Never thought that this "crazy" move would make him favored by the editor-in-chief of America's top entertainment magazine "Sharps", and handed him an olive branch -- inviting him to work in Manhattan, and telling Sidney Young, if he wanted to work in Manhattan. The fashion press in New York strives for excellence by being elegant, glamorous and pleasing to all. But this silly British guy is still "unacceptable" after all, and still goes his own way in the dreamy world of flowers: angered his colleague - Allison, who is also a reporter for the magazine; dares to point the finger at the right and left Eleanor, the PR manager of the popular star agency; he even offended his immediate boss, Lawrence, and in order to redeem his mistakes, he even invited strippers to dance for Lawrence at a staff meeting; of course, he was "extraordinary" The way of communicating with people is not only that, he is like a hedgehog and almost offends all the colleagues around him. But as the saying goes, "Stupid people have stupid blessings", not only the hot star also showed his love to him, almost at the same time, his colleague Allison also had a deeper communication with him and understood each other. And Allison's friendship with him seems to be the only hope for him to be rescued from "relationship troubles." In the end, Sidney Young did not hesitate to give up his arrogance in order to better enter the magazine's top management, and gave up his acerbic comments on directors who had no background, and this brought about his own career. Everything went smoothly, but just as he was about to finish his career, Sidney Young found that he really loved the one who helped him the most when he was in trouble, so he put down all his achievements to find his Love.
In fact, the story is relatively old-fashioned, and there is nothing special about it, but as a British satire of Hollywood culture, we have to say while smiling, it turns out that the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are everywhere. In the movie, we saw a somewhat helpless promotion process. In order to get promoted, we sold our beliefs and made ourselves assimilated by the society. Such stories seem to happen around us every day, but there are really a few people who are really happy. in the face of such a society. Maybe the movie is more romantic. When the male protagonist realizes what really belongs to him, he also knows how to find himself, and more people seem to no longer know what really belongs to him. Of course, a Happy The ending of Ending may make us ponder a little, in the end we are assimilated by the society, have you found a true belief of your own, or continue to be confused.
In fact, I can't help feeling a little emotional about the conversation between Sidney Young and his father. An actor's husband seems to be indifferent to his wife's former career, so this kind of relationship may have no cornerstone, but the two's relationship From the movie, we can see that the relationship is almost perfect. It can be seen that whether the person you love loves her career is only second, and more importantly, it is the wholehearted support for her career. At the end of the film we see the indifference of the flight attendants to Sidney Young's appearance on TV, which seems to be telling us that we have no right to make others like you and your career, even if you are an elite in the industry, It seems that they are just mortals just like them. So today I saw a large group of fans waiting in the rain for TVXQ, I think for them this is indeed the god of their world, but please don't stop the world for your god, after all, there are many more important things in this world things worth cherishing.
Society is a complicated dye vat. In this dye vat, each of us has to be polished off some edges and corners, but I hope that every child who is struggling in society will ask you to understand your beliefs. When it's not so important, go back to her bravely, "Maybe you won't be a successful person, but please be a valuable person"
