Not worth the money.

The movie theater closest to my home has discounted movie tickets before 12 noon, so I went today. There are quite a lot of movies worth looking forward to recently, but why did I choose this one?

The fake advertisement at the beginning is quite similar. If the content was not too exaggerated, I would have thought it was a real introduction to another movie. Although the film is also interspersed with witty and witty, the main thing is typical American humor: laughing through stupidity and ignorance, shallower than skin. Both the words "fuck off" were raised high. The only highlight of the film (for me) is the surprise cameo by Tom Cruise.

But there is something to be commended. Americans are not afraid of being stupid when they make movies. Other male stars are sexier than anyone else, but Jack Black is very professional and has gained weight. He wears a pair of panties half the time. robert downey jr. is also a big sexy man. In the film, he played a black man with special devotion, and his words and deeds even changed his accent. Uncle Tom's bald look is amazing, and with the singing and dancing, I was so surprised that my jaw almost couldn't close. I didn't recognize him at first, but only when I saw the profile of his face and his piercing small eyes did I recognize Mount Tai. (There is no mention of him appearing in the movie introduction, but it is intended to confuse the audience.)

I don't want to be the stupidest, but I want to be even more stupid. It seems that several bandit heroes have been fulfilled. Why do Americans like to take pictures of fools? I think it has something to do with the American character. Just like a while ago, Chinese people especially liked rural themes when making movies, where the poor go. Americans are very ordinary, not all of them live in cities like Manhattan and drive two miles to buy eggs in order to save fifty cents. So the movie doesn't have to pretend to be noble, isn't it just entertainment. Everyone likes to see others being stupider than themselves. If you can be entertained by this, why not be stupid?

If I had to give the movie a deep meaning, it would be one, downey jr. There were scandals related to drug addiction until a few years ago. This time, although he was not the actor who was addicted to drugs, he didn't care about taking it. The film can also be considered to be able to face up to the mistakes of the past and face the future. Second, the heroic complex of Americans, even in such a most unheroic film, has been carried forward and ridiculed (ben stiller finally decided to stay and live with his "son", only to be chased in a hail of bullets He came back, and the "son" on his shoulder was stabbing him with a knife.) Third, Uncle Tom is so charming, I have you...
