The struggle of an old man

The hologram of the king tells the story of a man over 50 who persevered in the face of many difficulties and challenges in the face of family, work, and body. The breakdown of the marriage leaves Alan and Clay in mental exhaustion and financial distress. In order to be able to pay for her daughter's college tuition, she worked hard to get a project that was not favored by the company. Demonstrate holography to the kings of Arab countries. Faced with cultural differences along the way, the working environment is not ideal. The man who was over sixty years old did not bow his head. In the process of constant struggle and struggle, he found the destination of his life. Started a new family with a local female doctor.
Although it is a happy ending, it is enough to comfort the audience's sympathy for the protagonist and give him the expectation of struggle and indomitable defeat. But it is not the expected compensation in the direction that the protagonist is trying to work hard, but the unexpected gain. This harvest is believed to be much better than expected. A soul mate who can have sex with a single touch of the back. And a big house facing the sea and blooming in spring.

The most impressive thing in the film is the detailed description of the inner activities of the protagonist.

For example, Allen looked at the humble work shed without making any progress with the project leader who was responsible for hosting them. He knew that being the team leader had to boost the morale of the entire team. A series of subtle movements are well described. Stop, make a fist, take a deep breath, adjust your mentality, put on a big smile, and walk forward briskly.
In another scene, he is lying face down on the operating table when he hears the female doctor come in and put a hand on his back. The unease instantly disappeared, replaced by joy and peace. The actor Tom Hanks, the subtle changes in his eyes showed these psychological activities drippingly.
In the meantime, there are many descriptions of such psychological activities. It's one of the main reasons why I like this movie.
Tom Hanks' films are not only rich in layers and allegories, but often have a positive force.
This movie is no exception. The protagonist's experience reveals that the United States is now less than the global hegemony it once was, as evidenced by the treatment that Allen's team received in Saudi Arabia. At the end of the story, Alan used a meaningful look
Watching the Chinese team. As for the content behind the eyes, I think everyone can give their own explanation.
The film also shows the culture and social relations of different classes of Saudi Arabia, a mysterious country. It is not difficult to see the contradictions between social classes that have existed for a long time. These are fully demonstrated in the male No. 2 yousef.
Talking about the personal level, the mid-life crisis is not only a psychological problem for Americans, but a crisis in the relationship with relatives, a combination of financial crisis and work crisis, and the psychological level has no time to take into account.
In the intertwined difficulties, Allen chose to stick to himself and say no to indulgence.
Persistence is not in vain, life has given him a big surprise. This work has undoubtedly given people who are struggling in hardships a great inner comfort and the strength to persevere.
