Destroy your immigration dream, Everything Must Go

It is the dream of many people to immigrate to the United States. This middle-aged inspirational film completely destroyed your dreams.

Losing your job is only the first step in tragedy. The credit card is suspended, and your wife can freeze your bank assets. When you walk to the bank with the hero, do you have any doubts, such a man only has a deposit of 45,000 US dollars? Tell you, this is too much.

The furniture was rags and was thrown out by his wife. When I was homeless, I lied on the grass at my home and drank beer at night. The police came and said that you had broken two laws. You cannot drink alcohol in public places and sleep on the grass.

The car was driven away mercilessly by the recycling company. Half of a man's life is gone like this, and there is nothing clean. This film also tells you vaguely that such a man does not have a friend.

If this is the case in the United States, does the United States have a good life with China? Not necessarily anymore.

From the first minute of the film, I couldn't treat this story as a comedy.

The background of the story should be combined with the American economic depression in recent years, and it is said that it is adapted from the novel of the same name.

The protagonist’s life trough is extremely low, and my understanding, loss of work and being kicked out are only a small part of his inner struggle.

What he had to give up in 3 days was almost his whole life, the medieval camera left by his mother, the signed All-Star baseball from his childhood, and the vinyl left by his father. All this is almost equivalent to life for many people. It is much harder to give up these, if you change me, than give up your job. . .

I believe the director took this as an inspirational movie to make, saying it was a comedy, but throughout the story, my mood was even worse than watching "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". The hero is facing a phoenix-like rebirth. And no one knows what the ending is. . .
