short vacation

It was funny at first, because it started with a ruthless attack on the rambling, unreliable character of the French. The French temperament that Americans understand is always to the point, taking care of the comprehension of the audience. The stalk of sending fake letters and so on is a bit old, so I guessed it in the middle. The ending is really warm, the noisy sisters and family-like employees, and the beautiful women kissing under the tree.

The reason for giving five points is because of the inspiration given to me by the use of film elements. The profession of the male lead financial practitioner - I am in the financial industry, and I don't need imagination. Max does not take vacations but only makes money... Max's good friends Charlie and Max jointly paint a typical image of the London financial industry, which is a bit one-sided, in order to pursue the shocking power of the lines. But still very representative.

Uncle is a philosopher. A sentence "Admit failure calmly, but don't let failure become a habit." My heart is pounding.

The female characters are very dim, are women just graceful vases? Is it just an object that responds when the male character is addicted? This setting is not too detailed.

There is also a joke from the actor Russell Crowe: there are colleagues who call him a dead fat man, but in fact he is just muscular.
