Because Simon Doga’s star was offset by Chinese ugly girls and Tibetan monks who speak Japanese and English.

For Simon, I even went to watch the Chicken Soup for the Soul movie after thinking about it for a long time. I thought it was a British movie before. I felt that the quality could at least meet the standard regardless of the theme. I suddenly found out that the producer and producer were German before I set off today. I said to the end, but the result did not disappoint me. Average film level in Germany.

[Bus Chinese girl and epileptic Tibetan monk] The
protagonist’s image is ever-changing, with a luxurious mansion in the center of London, a decent job, and a frequent visitor to the upper class. As a result, the so-so-rich and handsome in the first-class cabin showed a dazzling temperament. It is estimated that Si Niang has seen it Jump your feet with anger. Well, don't care about the details at the beginning. After the protagonist was fortuned, he left behind his beautiful girlfriend and decided to embark on a journey of finding happiness for the patient's well-being.

Luther is fearless, and the local tyrants help each other. He came to Shanghai with a twist, and the local tyrants spent a lot of money to "teach" him how to enjoy in the colorful world of China, and instantly "sexually" blessed! So the Chinese beauty in the eyes of foreigners came here, seduce in every possible way, undressed and undressed. The protagonist suddenly feels happy. Before discovering that the other party is just playing fairy jumping, he feels that he can master how energetic the two women's Mimi is.

Had it not been for the wind and rain outside, I had already left when I saw the so-called Chinese face, which would be too ugly. Foreign tyrants enter a bar, and all the door guards are stuffed with rolls of RMB. Do you think it's toilet paper? The director was filming imaginary China, and it was estimated that he had reached the extreme at that time.

In fact, foreigners are not all superficial and prejudiced. Except for cities like Shanghai that are made in money, China also has the Pure Land Tibet! Between the flags and flags of the snow-capped mountains, you will see a group of lamas or monks laughing inexplicably happily. The reason, if I remember correctly: the wind is so strong.

I don't know if the protagonist has a way, I'm inexplicable anyway. The movie describes the Chinese people's feelings and features in the sense of happiness (huang) and you (zi). Why do they only stop at misunderstandings and fallacies. The following is a statement from one family. I feel that only Germans can do this. Chinese culture is indeed separated from Western culture, and understanding cannot be achieved overnight. So proud British people have never commented on the half-knowledge of culture, while the United States is busy exporting culture. Only a half-hearted German can magnify the fabricated China in the news on the big screen and slap two countries in the face.

The tension between cultures is inevitable, but as a film team, if you have the heart, you can definitely verify some facts or opinions. When the film is made such a bullshit, either the main creators are not responsible for the film, or they are willing to export this way from the bottom of their hearts. Values, even proud of it.

[The Adventures of Tintin in Africa] The
protagonist chose to go to Africa after being inexplicably frustrated in China. With the presupposition of the Chinese story, I probably know that the part of Africa may also be far-fetched, taking pictures of Africa in the eyes of Westerners.

Kidnapping and drug dealers, voles and sweet potatoes, poverty and pain, and Africans are all able to sing and dance. These elements are not missing. After the protagonist was released by the kidnappers, he returned to the village. The people in the village sang and danced to celebrate his return. They noticed that several extras were expressionless and beating gongs and drums to show happiness. They were very speechless.

Friends of the protagonist when he was a teenager, both doctors, practiced treatment in Africa. I thought it would more or less cause the protagonist to reflect on his attitude towards patients (the psychologist can listen to them, do graffiti, and charge on time. Is it really good? ). The director decided not to stick to this, but to throw out another inexplicable theme of happiness: being with the one he loves. At this time, the protagonist's handsome white friend hugged the African youth who was suspected of being a bodyguard and a chef. I wanted to wake up the director a hundred times, so what? ! It is not just a couple of friends who can pretend to be produced by a corrupt country. There is no need for such a plot. Please try to delete it a hundred times.

And please, Simon has never been Nini, please don't design him a 007 attribute, okay? Just after watching the perfect buttocks in Asia, the friendly girls in Africa are also busy undressing and undressing. What do you want to express? Is the protagonist’s love sincerely keeping the festival as ever? If unnecessary plots are deleted, this movie really only takes 20 minutes.


[Happiness is a responsibility? I go! ! ! 】As long
as the movie that is busy trying to give the ultimate answer, it is not very clever; a soul chicken soup that can explain happiness and tell you the correct way to solve happiness is a cold overnight soup.

In the end, the protagonist found happiness after experiencing the ups and downs, life and death, putting on and taking off! Just being with my girlfriend! So the two people cried at both ends of the phone and turned into tears.

I almost threw my shoes. Originally said that you can leave if you are not happy, and you can come back when you are happy. Is life so pale and simple? The love and devotion of others to you has always been taken for granted. Is it true that one day thank you very much? It turns out that you don’t know how to die. Happiness is always by your side?

The definition of happiness varies. But to be happy, you must lower yourself, look at the world again, reduce your own feelings, experience the joy and anger of others, and realize all the inevitability and determination in life. The reason is simple, but it is difficult to do it. After all, the first step in our perception of the world is through "I". At the end of the story, neither the director nor the screenwriter said, but only assumed happiness relative to emotional happiness, as if people finally realized being surrounded by love, but how to love other people? I can't see it.



When I got home, I spit out the movie, because I was really disappointed. Two hours and an investment of tens of millions, such works can basically be regarded as scraps. I haven't read the original work, maybe the style of the original work is roughly the same, but to remake such a work, my taste is really worrying.

Hector and the Search for Happiness quotes

  • Hector: You've been a fugitive. You've been in prison for your beliefs, you've lost family and loved ones. I mean, you've just been through so much. How is it you're so happy?

    Old Monk: Because I've been through so much.

    Hector: I mean, searching for happiness is one thing, but making it the goal, it just doesn't work, does it?

    Old Monk: Higher than that, Hector. More important than what we are searching for is what we are avoiding.

    Hector: Like unhappiness. So, don't make unhappiness *not* the goal?

    Old Monk: Higher than that.

    Hector: Avoiding unhappiness is *not* the road to happiness.

    Old Monk: You hold all the cards, Hector.

    [both laugh]

  • Edward: You're a very very strange person, Hector. The kind of person I normally avoid like the plague. I'm glad I didn't.
