On Christmas Eve of a certain year, as a Wall Street single nobleman, you were hanging out in the supermarket alone. At this moment, a black young man forcibly redeeming the lottery came into the supermarket. Faced with his majestic pistol, you stepped forward and bought his lottery with money, resolved a dispute, and showed him disapprovingly. You already have all the superiority, then you are very likely to encounter things that change your life.
Cage plays a role like "you" in the film.
Cage, who was still driving a Ferrari yesterday, lived in a high-level private room guarded by guards and woke up in a suit worth $2,400. When he woke up early in the morning, he was greeted by Hilarious and his wife who had two children asking for gifts at Christmas. Lovely smile. In the face of all this, it is impossible for him not to be at a loss!
When he learned from the black youth that this was the life he had to "experience", he had no choice but to accept the reality: bid farewell to the single room in the downtown area and the luxurious Ferrari, live in the remote suburbs, and drive that very car. Hard-to-start van, waking up by a dog at six in the morning, cooking and changing diapers for the children, sending the children to school, working as a boring tire retailer with a low salary for 8 hours, bowling with colleagues, and attending a party with old friends , Flirt with the woman who seduce her, go out to walk the dog at night and clean up the dog’s stool, when you buy the $4.99 salt, you should also sigh that salt is so expensive, remember every wedding anniversary, and prepare gifts for your wife in advance , And singing love songs that sound a little nasty in public at such important moments as the wife’s birthday, and so on.
Cage gradually adapted to all this. Yes, if he left by plane 13 years ago, but returned to his girlfriend the next day, he might have lived like this. The only thing that makes him and her happy is that they love each other, and they have a little precocious, violin-playing but low-tech daughter and a chubby little son with big eyes... Is this not happy enough?
At least Cage felt happy. Therefore, when he was given the opportunity to return to Wall Street and live a "good" life again, when he took his wife to the big new house and began to imagine the future, he was still convinced by his wife-their happiness It's in a place where they can feel comfortable, not in a big house in the city or a private school that their daughter might not like.
The sense of happiness convinced Cage that he began to love this home even more. Therefore, when Cage had to leave this home, his sadness and helplessness also spread to me, and to everyone who watched this movie.
In fact, this "home" and the so-called leaving are both a dream! The young black man was just a reference that Cage encountered in his dream.
The meaning of the dream is that it has inspired Cage who has been indulging in a life of self-sufficiency, self-entertainment, and complacency: It said to Cage that you should live a life of affection! You should be with the one you love instead of fooling around with another woman early on Christmas morning.
As a result, we saw that Cage had the courage to find his former girlfriend, and she was not the kind of unpaid public interest lawyer Cage imagined, she was the little boss who was going to a branch in Paris! She returned to him the old things that Cage had left behind, and decided to fly to Paris that night.
Although the following plot is old-fashioned, the audience will still be very moved when they hear the Cage Airport confession. "When can't I go to Paris? But if I missed this time, it may be difficult for us to meet again. Will you stay and have a cup of coffee with me?" I can't remember the original words, it's probably like this. Then there is a happy ending.
Love can be as sweet as yesterday in Cage after 13 years, and it is never too late. But such a story is more like a beautiful fairy tale for us as ordinary people.
