Change life

What a coincidence, I just watched the performance of the Jersey girl Nakamoto Affleck, and today I’m going to have a movie "Change Line Life". It’s again from Aben, and I have a lot of eye addiction.

This film is about two men. Meet by chance, and then bring out two kinds of life through their contact. It is rare, there is almost no love scene. Although it was released in 2002, it is worth looking for.

New York. A Friday in spring. A fierce collision between two men who had never met in 36 hours.

Ben Affleck plays a shrewd and domineering young lawyer who collides with the middle-aged insurance broker played by Samuel Jackson in a small traffic accident in Manhattan early in the morning. These are two men who look different on the surface: young lawyers are climbing to the top of their careers, but middle-aged insurance brokers have fallen into a trough in their lives, have just gotten rid of the habit of alcoholism, and have to compete with their ex-wife for custody of their son. However, a trivial traffic accident brought the two together and exposed them to the evil side of human nature.

Ben Affleck is in a hurry to appear in court, and Samuel Jackson is also rushing to fight a custody lawsuit. Both are in a hurry. In order to resolve the accident as quickly as possible, Ben refused to tell Samuel the contact information of his insurance company. Instead, he gave Samuel a blank check and left in a hurry. Samuel was late to appear in court because of this accident, lost the lawsuit, and lost his son's custody. At the same time, he discovered that Ben's check was rejected. When he was full of anger and couldn't vent his anger, he found that Ben had fallen in the turmoil after the accident. He took an important legal document in his own hands and gave himself a tool of revenge.

Anxious Ben finds Samuel and asks for the documents. Samuel insisted: just don't give it. The two clashed fiercely for this, and exhausted all kinds of despicable means, and Ben even got rid of Samuel's loan. They attacked each other desperately, their anger escalated, and finally turned into a fierce confrontation with the purpose of destroying each other in Ben's office.



Let me post the introduction first. I’m too lazy to write today. I will post it another day, btw. The introduction of the video reproduced from Netease above has errors. In the end, there was no fierce confrontation between the two people in this office. After they experienced their own mistakes, they woke up and shook hands. Make peace. There are few tragedies in American movies, and this movie ends in comedy without exception.

Changing Lanes quotes

  • [to his father-in-law]

    Gavin Banek: I'm gonna hold on to this file. I'm gonna keep it in a very safe place. But I'm not going to Texas. I'm gonna come back into work on Monday. I'm gonna start doing that pro bono work that you recommended that I do. But I'm gonna do it from our office. The first thing we're gonna do is help a man buy a house.

  • Gavin Banek: What am I gonna do?

    Michelle: Well... there's this guy. He helps with things that need... helping out.

    Gavin Banek: Like what?

    Michelle: Like things. Like... getting people to do things you want them to do when they don't necessarily want to do them.
