The film is a mainstream film that promotes the good qualities of the traditional American people, covering most of the mainstream American thought. Against the backdrop of the economic downturn, an unlucky bone scanner salesman, his wife ran away, leaving behind his four- or five-year-old son. For the purpose of improving the quality of life, with the technique of playing Rubik's cube, I got the position of an unpaid intern in an investment company. After six months of hardship with my son, happyending appeared~~ People think this film is really harmonious, more mainstream than our cctv 8-point series. It's interesting to discover the differences in mainstream culture through the plot~
First of all, it is the sales culture of the American people. They don't miss any opportunity to sell themselves. It's a sale, not a pleading. Whether selling scanners or selling finance, go all out without being humble or arrogant, without anger, without cursing, and without giving up, the six months of this unfortunate father really confirms the old Chinese saying, "When misfortune depends on fortune, fortune comes with misfortune." It will be better when it is broken, and when it is better, there will definitely be a big stick to smash it down, which makes people look embarrassed over and over again. But successful sales will always have their day, especially if you are hardworking and smart enough. But we are a huge bureaucratic system, and it is more reliable to advance in the imperial examinations with institutional guarantees. The
second is the responsibility to the family. Under all difficulties, I will never give up with my son, try to be happy. I don't want the humble and bitter joy of the little characters in Hong Kong dramas. The word happiness can be written on the sheepskin scroll. It's mainstream. But the important reason to speculate why I can't get up is this: Will Simth and his son are so good-looking (supposedly his real-life son), including the mother who passed away is very beautiful, anyway I don't see it Like a poor family. His conversations and actions with his son were as good as those of a well-educated, middle-class family. The protagonist Chris is unlucky enough to stay in line with 20 dollars left to live in the relief situation without angering his son, and yes, the child is so good that it makes people think that he is not a 5-year-old child. Perhaps with our children as a reference.
There is also the hidden power of religion, the father's face gradually calmed down in the choir of the hospice, the scene of the son falling asleep peacefully, and the previous joke of God saving people, etc. It is self-evident that it is related to the time period of the release of the film – the Christmas schedule.
Of course, when life is difficult, there will inevitably be some unethical things, but it makes people feel very real, but it confirms my feeling, Chris just doesn't have much money, but he should still belong to the lower middle class, because he has the ability to turn life around. Ben's basic conditions, coupled with expectations for a higher standard of living, laid the foundation for his future success.
By the way, there is an interesting point, the film explicitly shows that poor friends are unreliable, have no money and are more willing to compare their money, selfishness, and a rich man who meets by chance can often be changed out of kindness or courtesy. everything about life. If it's not American hypocrisy or cultural identity differences, we're more inclined to celebrate the disconnect from reality.
The film is not ugly, and there is a guarantee of hard work, and the American dream realizes the film performance. If you have a chance, you should find the original book.
