As an adaptation of a novel, the film does not express the plight of the middle class, but is more like an emotional story of a middle-aged man, with more erotic events and fewer questions worthy of deep thought. Even with the addition of Tom Hanks, it cannot save the mediocrity of the movie, although the movie is more like a description of his personal life, mixed with various pornographic events, and composed a very interesting personal story. In this way, the novel was turned into a movie, which made us feel nothing, and simply composed a person's boring life, which made the storyline lackluster. The confusion and powerlessness revealed by the movie brought a little tangle to the hearts of the characters, but in such an atmosphere of Liying, the feeling of confusion and powerlessness was also swept away. As a middle-aged man, the movie does show a hint of a mid-life crisis in family life and work, but what attracts attention is the two women the protagonist meets, one is a Danish blonde who takes the initiative to embrace Beauty, and the other is a mysterious and bold Arab lady, and the protagonist handles the relationship between the two with completely opposite attitudes. It has to be said that this kind of plot is quite arousing people's interest. In front of the Danish blonde beauty who took the initiative to embrace, Tom Hanks resisted the urge to be a man, and refused strictly, which made people feel very shameless and even a little unreasonable; At times, the relationship between the seemingly ordinary two people changed a lot at the moment of holding hands, especially when they were finally seduced by boldness, the kind of drama that every man would not refuse came into being, I Thinking about why Tom Hanks was able to fall at the feet of the Arab lady, tricks should be the most important.

As a representative of the middle class, the feeling brought by the role is not like the difficult life of ordinary people, nor is it like the intrigue of people in the upper class, some are just psychological emptiness and powerlessness in work. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, this movie cannot see anything thought-provoking. Even if there is an actor who joins, it is difficult for people to deeply understand the plight of the character interpretation. This can't be blamed on the performance of the actors, it can only be blamed on the plight faced by people in this class that are truly unworthy of pity. Compared with people at the bottom of society, their plight is just a kind of psychological self-restraint. This physical and mental pressure is just the self-torture in the pursuit of life and the repression that is difficult to release in the heart. The people who can resonate are the middle-class living in the middle of the society. So the biggest feeling this movie gives us is boredom and fussing. The feeling of self-appreciation is the most contemptible. After all, their conditions are much better, so we can see Tom Hanks in the movie. I can live in a hotel every day, and I can sleep until I wake up naturally. I can book a full-time driver to go to work in a distant place. If such a superior and comfortable working environment can still make people feel sympathetic, it is really hard. Allow. Tom Hanks is lucky. Although he did not negotiate the king's business, he met two women who could help him, one who could provide information at work, one who relieved his physical pain, and two women who were able to help him. I like him to a certain extent. How enviable, jealous, and hateful this kind of love life is. If the movie still wants to use this kind of plot to express the plight of the middle class, who would believe it?

It was the Arab lady who opened the eyes of the movie. As a traditionally conservative and feudal country, our ordinary people’s reactions will be the same as those of Arab car-hailing drivers. We can’t see that kind of open Western-style way of life. But when I saw this Arab lady, that traditional concept was even more exacerbated, especially when she and Tom Hanks were ambiguous in public, it was simply a matter of nature. What's even more surprising is that when Tom Hanks visited people in the back, the scale and openness were quite staggering. The lady's performance was not only a traditional gravedigger, but also a The trend-setters of women's liberation have not only abandoned the modesty that women have, but also fully exerted the potential of independent women's autonomy. And under the stimulation of our outdated ideas, such an Arab lady seduces you nakedly, let alone Tom Hanks, we can't stand it outside the movie, so the Danish blonde loses to the Arab lady In front of me, it's really not wrong at all. However, in comparison, in all aspects, the Arab lady is a real old driver. Tom Hanks and the Danish blonde are weak. Compared with the real sullen people, they look unrestrained and unrestrained. People tend to be more reserved and restrained. Judging by the eyes of the Arab lady who waits for Tom Hanks to get off work every day, they are simply a piece of meat beside a wolf's mouth.

The film does not teach us to understand life, nor does it express the helplessness of life. It is more of a sparse and ordinary display of life. Everyone will encounter difficulties, but the form of expression is different, and the form of film expression. It seems very futile and not worthy of sympathy. The characters in the movie seem to want to do a good job and don't indulge in alcoholism, but he doesn't show the spirit of hard work and enterprising, even if he finally sees the king and shows the superiority of his products, he still loses in the end. For the Chinese, the outcome of being eliminated without hard work is already doomed. People in the western middle class are used to being comfortable, forget how to chase and fight hard, and always live and work with a mentality that God does not give opportunities. How can they wait until they succeed? It is only when the psychology is too comfortable that the middle class is exposed. The most fundamental problem of class is not that life is forcing you, but that you do not know how to change your comfortable heart. In the movie, it can be seen that the character Tom Hanks did not devote himself to his work. It can even be said that he did not focus on his work at all. He did not make a little effort every day except to deal with the constantly urging himself on the phone. What is even more interesting is that his heart is actually very relaxed, and he can go back to the countryside with the Arab youth to relax. This can only be said that the foreigners have a good mentality, and people don't know what to say if they are good. It's just that such people are very lucky, and to have an Arab lady take the initiative to send them to the door can be regarded as a relief from their unfortunate life.
