The "American TV"-like "Waste Agent" is crazy and cool

After watching this film, I have two obvious feelings, the first is that it is cool, and the second is that it is not cool enough.

At the beginning of the film, "curly" Jesse Eisenberg (played as Mike) was handcuffed to a chair, one foot was shaking all the time, raising a ferocious face, a neurotic criminal with high IQ appeared on the scene, It is like the beginning of the American drama, and then there is a sharp and fast editing flashback, the instant noodle box, the spoon, the frying pan, the clues are spread out, back to the beginning of the story, and the Quentin-style absurd narrative unfolds.

"Trash" (Mike) is a supermarket cashier in a small town. He lives a decadent life, loves to draw cartoons, and is good at telling stories. He thinks his love with his girlfriend (Phoebe) is perfect, and he puts a diamond ring in his pocket, as long as the timing is right Just give it to her. They were about to go on vacation to Hawaii, but it fell through because he couldn't leave because of his phobia of leaving town.

On a starry night they were lying on the front of a broken car and he said: Phoebe baby, you are like a beautiful car and I am a goddamn tree, one day you hit I stopped at this point, you could have run into the distance. Then Phoebe said, I'm the damn tree and you're the car that can go far.

This story is hilarious and beautiful, the town is empty, lonely, and boring, Mike draws his Rocket Monkey superhero cartoon every day... This is a full-fledged romance, of course it's more than that simple, I'm just giving you the beginning, Kun The Ting-style absurd drama is yet to come.

If nothing else, the following features will definitely make you worth the ticket price: crazy action scenes, neat skills, and exciting confrontations with neurotic villains are very dazzling, coupled with rhythmic heavy metal music to make you fall easily. Into the plot, coupled with the cool punk-style picture "heavy color" (reminds me of "Mad Max: Fury Road"), I really want to save the screenshot immediately... The final ending, hey, how does it feel from the American drama style Suddenly there is a taste of British drama?

I'm not sure what I'm talking about, you can see it when you see it (*^__^*) Hee hee...

PS: Mike was driving the car and set off fireworks to save Phoebe, what...so cool!

PPS: The Rocket Monkey comic at the end of the film is definitely a surprise!
