let change happen, Reivew on Everything Must Go

At first glance, [Big Sale] seems to be a funny simple American inspirational sketch led by the "bad boy spokesperson" Will Ferrell. It tells the story of the mid-year salesman Nick who was dismissed in the midst of layoffs and was frustrated and embarrassed. When he returned home, he found that his wife had changed the lock. Not only was he unable to get in, all his belongings were thrown on the lawn outside the house, so he used local materials to live his "desert island for the rest of his life" on this lawn.

This guy has been lackluster for several years. Chen even hoped to turn over last year. [Second-rate police detective] also had a mediocre response, so [大Sale] For Will Ferrell, it is also tantamount to a kind of "change", just as the movie refers to "everything must go", any good or bad will pass sooner or later...
