If you search for this movie and related introductions, you will find that everyone has not rated it highly, and there are even harsher language comments that are useless.
If you are a senior film critic or have extremely high demands on the plot of the film, I suggest you not to watch it, so as not to be disappointed. If it's just a matter of time for a pastime, you might as well take a look.
I remember that when I watched this movie before, I didn't have a big feeling, I just thought it was mediocre, and I only had an impression after watching it once. This time, I turned it out and looked at it again, maybe I experienced a lot, and I felt a little moved when I saw it at the end.
The plot of the story is relatively old-fashioned. Eddie Murphy plays Jack, a literary publisher who is accustomed to using rhetoric to disguise his guilty conscience and deception. His speech without any turning point has almost become his style of dealing with people and even work. He is very harsh to the people around him, and although people hate it, they can't do anything about him.
By chance, Jack met the new century Indian religious leader Dr. Singa. One day, a magical linden tree grew out of nowhere in the back garden of Jack's house. There were exactly 1,000 green leaves hanging on the tree. Jack, who didn't take it seriously at first, soon discovered to his horror that every time he uttered a word, a leaf would fall from the linden tree. Once all the leaves fell, it meant that his life had come to an end.
In order to survive, Jack had to stop talking and communicate by hand gestures. There were a lot of jokes during the period because of the inability to speak. Jack tried to do something to stop the leaves from falling, but it was all in vain, and his loved ones ignored him. One night when he was drunk, Jack talked frantically until only the last 17 leaves were left on the tree, and Jack, who realized that he might die, decided to send the last words to the people around him.
Later, he went to the nursing home to visit his mother who lost his memory. The mother regarded Jack as his father and told him how much she loved Jack, but Jack was always angry and hated his father. Finally Jack came to his father's cemetery, looked back on the past, and said the last three words, forgive you.
Watching the entire movie, the first thought that crossed my mind was that life is so busy right now, am I walking too fast and not remembering to care about the people around me who care about me. So I couldn't laugh when I saw the jokes before, but at the end, when Jack went to see his mother, I felt heartwarming.
