After a series of gunfights, horror, and brain-burning fast-paced movies swept across, a relatively unremarkable work came out. I saw that many people said that they couldn't stand it anymore, but I still tried to watch it with the mentality of not watching it in case I missed any great wisdom.
Like many people, I thought the movie was about the middle-aged crisis balabala. The director spent nearly half of the time laying up this illusion, and in the end you discovered that it also involves conspiracy theories and documentary discussions. In fact, it is not. Nearly half of the illusion does not conflict with the subsequent series of changes. They are a whole. When this middle-aged couple met the young couple for the first time, Josh Xing thought that he had made a real couple. He seemed to see a slight throbbing in the boring middle-aged life, and he learned to dress like a young man. , Doing things for young people, in order to get back a young heart, with an instant power, even if he is diagnosed with arthritis, Josh is not tired at this moment. His wife is also fascinated by such a young life, dancing hip-hop, and so on. The middle-aged couple approached the life of the young couple and found that the young couple is very vigorous. They don’t care about fame and wealth, they think about what to do, and they do what they like, enjoy the beauty of the process, and don’t take it for themselves. They complain about things, they don’t deliberately ask themselves to do something. They don’t check the Internet for things they can’t think of. As if they don’t know what will happen, they don’t want to live in the moment. Anyway, these things are indispensable on Weibo, right? , Everyone knows it.
Seeing this, you may also have a kind: FUCK! This TM is life! a feeling of. Of course, there are indeed many movies of this type.
After getting close to the lives of young people, the director elaborated on the collision between Josh’s work and young people. Josh appreciates the young people’s deeds very much. They seem to be happy with it and have results, but there is nothing good for them to concentrate on it. As a result, naturally there will be all kinds of uncomfortable, cognitive dissonance. Only when he accidentally found the ice cream on the interviewee’s table did he suddenly understand everything. I don’t know what everyone thought at this time. The plot behind my brain was Josh’s output of the word of justice and successfully killed Jamie and Jamie. Ashamed and embarrassed, and then realized together. 2333, of course, there are many movies of this type.
At the end, we all knew that Josh "failed" and didn't care what the process was like. The rebuke to Jamie and the speech formed a strong contrast between the absurd and ironic. SO? In the end, we still live our own lives, so what can we do? In the ending, Josh really threw away the "hat", and the moment he threw the hat away in the movie, he was angry, full of contempt and disdain for Jamie, and in the ending, Josh threw away the "hat" that did not belong to him. "What young people are free, live in the present, and enjoy life, in fact, they have never changed. They are the same as when they were young, except that they changed their skins. Those hormonal-stimulating elements silently conceal the young people’s inner heart. Undercurrents are raging, and ambitions are never eliminated.

In the play, we also see the not so beautiful places in young people's lives. Their feelings are not as supernatural as they are on the surface. They have betrayal and absurdity, and they don't know what they want. The other person betrayed me, so I betrayed, go to slutty revenge with another person, use sex and alcohol to fill up the emptiness in my heart, instead of sitting next to him and listening to him when Josh is frustrated like Cornelia. Talk. In addition, young people who are unscrupulous for their ends cannot live as smart as the surface.

Seeing this, it is inevitable that some people will think about who is right and who is wrong. I personally think that it doesn’t matter whether it’s new and unconventional when you are young, sticking to the rules when you are middle-aged, or pretending to be deep when you are young, it is not important to pretend to be youthful when you are middle-aged. , And don’t need to work hard to make yourself the “that person” that matches your age, just like a documentary, fictional or real? It's up to you.
PS: This work can still be considered from different levels. I think it is a good movie. Does anyone know what the hip-hop song is?
No matter how difficult life is, it has never affected my nympho for the goddess.
