On the way to a paradise for two generations

In fact, what I first watched is the second-generation sequel to Vacation (2015) . The kid rusty in this movie has grown up to become a pilot, and took his wife and children to the same parent-child holy place Willy. Road trip to Deer Paradise. The film echoed this one at the back of the film, visited my parents, and drove the whole journey through this car in 1983.

This is a very interesting setting.

However, the rating of this movie is lower than that of the 2015 version, which is a bit unexpected. Probably not so many people are willing to watch such an old movie.

Compared to the second installment of fun for fun in 2015, the characters in this version are actually much more plump and interesting.

There are no particular spoof laughs in the film, and it is often because of the cruel reality that makes people laugh.

Let's talk about a few roles.

1. Dad. When my father took Rusty to the car dealer to pick up the car, he found that the car he ordered was wrong, and his original one had been dragged and squashed by the dealer.

After taking it back, the wife and daughter asked about the car. Dad, a face-saving character, began to show time. He repeated the sales term of the car sales manager to his wife. He did not admit that this was an embarrassing mistake, and naturally he would not admit it. Things are beyond my control.

When I refueled the car for the first time, my dad couldn't even find the fuel tank port and made an oolong, but he still tried to cover up the past with composure.

The two movies have the same plot, that is, I met a hot girl driving a red Ferrari while driving. The 2015 version of the father is very tempted, but think about my family, showing off his wedding ring to the hot girl, and then scratching his head. The hot girl was hit by an oncoming truck. But the father of the 1983 version was salivating. In order to see the hot girl, he almost ran the car and his family to death. My father in 2015 is more politically "correct", and the director is also "correct", not knowing whether this is progress or regression.

The 83 version of the father, after almost a car accident, still does not want to repent, lustful, drooling all the way to see beautiful women. In the last encounter, on the same day, there was an incomprehensible conflict with the family. Dad was sitting alone in the hotel pub drinking alcohol, and the hot girl appeared at the right time.

The conversation between Spice Girl and Dad is simply the climax of the laughter made by this vain and weak middle-aged man.

Spice Girl: Are you on a family outing?

Dad: Ah, of course not. Those are my brother's family, oh this ring. . It's also my brother's ring. After speaking, take the ring away and put it in your pocket.

Then he went on to say, actually. . . I am the owner of this hotel and I still have a lot of assets. . . .

The hot girl smiled and understood, and then I thought you were from the CIA (CIA).

Dad said, that's not the case, but. . . I actually used to work in cia. . . .

The hot girl invited her father to go nude swimming together, and his father happily attended the appointment. As the pool water was cold, my father was shouted by the frozen ghost, and the people who woke up the entire hotel went to the balcony to watch. Mom and children were among them.

Dad felt embarrassed and confessed to the hot girl that I was actually married. I'm sorry.

Father ran to apologize to mother, mother accepted, and the family rejoiced. This is a typical part of leaving for half a lifetime and returning to be surprised by the most precious part of the family.

There is also a conversation between my father and his son sharing a can of beer. My father said that although the journey was very bumpy, I am still very happy to travel with you, you and me. . . with. . .

When the son took his sister's name, the father suddenly realized. Ah yes yes yes.

I really burst into laughter here. In this way, a father who feels good about himself but not reliable, a husband who is aggressive but not strong, and a middle-aged man who is lusty but not courageous is born.

Such a bad husband, why not divorce?

Don’t worry, the movie also arranged a worse husband to set off him. He is the husband of his mother’s sister, a veteran who retires from the army and relies on government subsidies. He does not work but imagines that he can make a fortune. work. . .

Do you think the male lead’s family is very happy?

2. mother. The 83 version of the mother is very small, unlike the 15 version, the first big drama gave her the role of mother, allowing her to return to school and find herself-besides being a wife and mother, she was also a Debby do anything , Is a legend living in the alumni list.

And the most violent reaction of my mother in 83 years was not when she caught the derailment at the old tolerance point, but when her husband and children wanted to leave the dead mother-in-law in the yard where the relatives were not home Relatives' house). She pointed to her husband indignantly and said, you left a relative who has just passed away in the heavy rain, just to not delay your vacation arrangements, you selfish/self-centered bastard.

Husband said, don't say anything that will make you regret it.

Mom stopped at this, although she was still angry. But it can be seen that although this man has shortcomings, he still has the upper hand in the family.

My mother was a mother and wife for 83 years. She didn't even have the opportunity to do it herself. Her biggest function is to take care of the children and the thoughts along the way.

The portrayal of women in 1983 is still more symbolic.

3. Child. Although 15-year-old children are not cute, they are indeed harmless. At most, they bully their brother, and his brother’s counterattack is also like a white rabbit, pinching his ears and pinching his face. These are two completely healthy. And the middle-class standard child. And the 83-year-old kid is too scared to think too much. After discovering that my mother-in-law was dead next to me, my first reaction turned out to be disgusting. A corpse sat beside me for so long!

When Dad proposed to tie the corpse to the top of the car and leave it in the dark night rain, they all stood up and firmly supported Dad's decision.

I remember my mother once said to my father angrily that this was originally a good opportunity for "life and death education", but you were so indifferent to set an example!

All the characters in the 83 edition are actually very unflattering, and the women are very symbolic. But at least everyone has a shortcoming. It is this point that makes me give a higher score than 15 years.

In an age where "correctness" is above everything else, an incorrect family, incorrect parents and children are too precious.

Not all lives can find a perfect ending, and not all people need to reconcile with themselves and the world.

Nothing so-called "beauty" is necessary.
