Andy couldn't get in touch with "Unlucky" at first. A forty-year-old man enjoys collecting cartoon models. He has a decent job in a sound company. He rides a bicycle to work and is intoxicated.
All the bad luck stems from the fact that this forty-year-old man is a virgin that everyone knows.
"Virgins" are nothing at all. The world is very tolerant of men. Women have natural physiological criteria. Once they are missing, they can't argue with each other; men just look at their own mouths and say what they are. The "40-year-old virgin" is of course nothing remarkable, and the childlike Andy's mental age is definitely not 40 years old. Unfortunately, this fact was leaked by himself, and it was leaked after careful concealment. Obviously, there was a guilty conscience that wanted to cover up.
While a group of colleagues were enthusiastic about communicating with women, the image of Playboy that Andy deliberately created collapsed in an instant in front of a seemingly mentally handicapped problem. He described women's breasts as "sandbags"!
Andy's "talking on paper" was exposed in this way, and the problem was immediately serious. A group of colleagues showed great enthusiasm for how Andy breaks through the status quo after ridiculing with great kindness. It's no wonder that in this male-dominated world, Andy, who "guards himself like a jade", has become an outlier like a Cretaceous dinosaur. Whether it's precious or absurd, my colleagues obviously have only one goal: to quickly make Andy a "normal" male like them.
Colleagues took out their own winning strategies, and all kinds of absurd farce were staged on Andy one by one. Strike up a conversation with a strange girl, participate in a 5-minute club, and go in and out of bars with ulterior motives... but each time ends up in failure.
But at this moment, Andy has a favorite. So in this 40-year-old man, we saw that innocent love, like an 18-year-old boy, was formed bit by bit in the so-called adult world. In Plato’s spiritual love and the friendship between fish and water, it is difficult to say who is the last. Who has been defeated? In short, after a bit of concealment, lovers eventually become married, and the "forty-year-old virgin" finally comes to an end.
This kind of story is simple, but so many contradictions and symbiosis make the film look interesting. The so-called contradiction comes from the contradiction between the social roles of "Andy" and "40-year-old man".
What should a popular 40-year-old man look like?
The career is small and the marriage is normal; or the golden king and old five, it is possible to have no wife, but it is never possible to have no girlfriend, unless it is a physical or psychological problem.
While 40-year-old Andy rides a bicycle, 40-year-old Andy collects cartoon models, and 40-year-old Andy still remains a virgin.
In the end, facing his girlfriend's doubts, Andy said, I am a virgin. I think it's because I haven't met you.
I think this is the most exciting line in the film.
In this age when many people no longer believe in love, the simplest sentence will return sex to its most primitive and simple state.
The so-called sex, there is love, there will be sex.
