A perfect to classic "farce".

When I saw the "comedy" label before, I thought it was just a "Big Nothing" movie, and I watched it because of "Russ (David Xiu Meng)".
When I saw half of it, I realized that I had underestimated this film, and I kept making myself self-defeating. The rhythm of the plot quickened, which made me think that this was a "flying" movie similar to the domestic films "Crazy Stone" and "Departure Today". Not bad" comedy that makes people laugh at the stupidity of the main characters and go on with life after an hour and a half of real life, there is no real meaning.
However, at the end of the film, he frowned and smiled, and couldn't help but admire.
He originally thought that Garth was just a father who didn't want to blind his daughter. After being discovered, he said that he owed his ex-wife a debt. In fact, he was just a greedy liar who always thought about money, but when Charlie wanted to turn himself in. When he gave up his share, he advised him, "Don't be stupid, this is what you earned!" After Josh drank poisoned wine and pretended to be poisoned, he panicked and shouted, "Oh my God! Spit it out! Josh! "He didn't care that if the wine was really poisonous it meant Josie was a Wyoming widow.
Even if he still pocketed two million in the end, it was really embarrassing when he was shot twice by the agent and fell.
Josie, who has never been paid much attention to, was able to hack the pastor's wife's head with an axe before, and she felt that this girl was not just as simple as a girl beauty pageant champion, and Garth and Charlie seemed to be timid from beginning to end, which made it even more prominent. at this point. Still, the greedy Wyoming widow lost to Charlie.
Charlie was actually a good guy, and even though things kept going on, he never stopped thinking about turning himself in. Because of a disease that keeps disappearing memories, a university professor went to work as a customer service. All he always wanted to do was to make his wife and children live a good life, but it was only in the end that he understood the true meaning of the phrase "money won't make you rich."
After the oriole catches the cicada mantis, we have to admit that everyone is greedy, and everyone does everything they can for money. Because even if Garth hadn't died, even if he didn't know that Josie was a Wyoming widow, Charlie actually planned to steal all the money at the police station, so he would ask to take his daughter home first.
At the end of the film, Josie, a widow from Wyoming who has nothing to gain, pulls up a car, and we all think she just found the next hapless man, but it is implied that she has encountered the real Oregon murderer. It really elevates this farce to the extreme. Maybe the director's message to us is to never underestimate anyone you meet, never.

Like I've done with this movie before, I'd never have thought I'd use "perfect to classic" to describe a comedy that wasn't Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

    Josie McBroom: Well I assumed that when you have an axe lodged in your skull, your pulse tends to bottom out on you.
