I like the "Jumanji" series very much. I watched the first one when I was a child. In 2012, I searched for this movie whose name I forgot with a few keywords. I rewatched it again, and it didn't feel like I was a child Magical, but still attracted by the wonderful pictures and plot.
This is the kind of classic movie that can be turned over and watched again every few years.
The history of this series is really long. It has been said that the first part was born in the last century. In 1995, the animal world brought by the first part was eye-opening. After 10 years, I changed the director and changed the theme. The second part came out in 2005. It was still a brain hole to enter the game world, but the scene elements have become cosmic adventures. Although it is also very exciting, it is not personal taste. I feel Space is just a gimmick, so the impression is much worse.
The third film was released in 2017 after a longer period of time (crying, the next film will not have to wait for more than ten years, it will be menopause by then), and the scene has become a valley and jungle. This time, the characters are directly sucked into the game, and they can only come out after the game is over, so there is less curiosity about each move, which makes people hold their breath and both look forward to and fear what will happen next.
Yes, the plot is a bit simple and rude, one-line thinking, and it does not require mental effort. After looking at the three, of course, the first one was the most interesting. I feel that the brain hole has been shrinking.

The plot at the beginning is very bluntly advanced, and there are no surprises to see, the result is the result. Four young people with different shapes and personalities accidentally crossed into an outdated game console. The soul is still their own, but their appearance and skills have become the people in the game characters. The thinking of the game is also very simple. Put the gems back. The original place, even if it is good luck to eat chicken tonight.
Old games and consoles like this are fond memories of all our post-80s childhoods. Seriously, kids these days seem to be playing with more high-tech stuff, but they're missing a great time. I am glad that I am a post-80s generation, neither earlier nor later.

There are many interesting places in the switching between real characters and game characters.
The skinny and shy Spencer ( Alex Wolff ) becomes the tough adventurer ( Dwayne Johnson ), the tall and mighty athlete Fritch ( Sedarius Braine ) Become a miniature turtle-speed luggage handler ( Kevin Hart ), the heartthrob school girl Bethany ( Madison Eastman ) has become a middle-aged fat professor ( Jack Black ), Shy and introverted academic Martha ( Morgan Turner ) turns into a charismatic hot woman warrior ( Karen Gillan ).
All of them became a completely different person from themselves, and not randomly nor assigned, but their own choice when they picked up the handle. This choice reveals the multifaceted nature of our human beings. Often, there is a person who is completely different from what it looks like in our hearts, but we are unaware of it. Even, we need to experience something to wake up that part of the gene.
And through this game, they awakened another self.
And the contrast between the appearance and the heart has become the biggest laughing point of the whole film. For example, Uncle Fafu has a girlish heart and is very good at scratching his head; the strong Johnson is actually a coward, and his cowardly expression also forms a contrast with his tendon.
In the game, I also learned a word called "non-role player", don't joke, for my game insulator, I also understood the meaning of this word through the explanation of the character. They are fixed supporting roles in the game, with fixed language patterns and behavior patterns, and are not controlled by the player.

In the end, they naturally completed the game tasks as a team. These four people who do not like each other in reality open up to each other in the process of fighting side by side, and also help each other become a better version of themselves.
By the way, it became a pair or two.
However, when they found "Seaplane" MacDonald in reality, they saw that he had become an adult. I began to understand the timeline here. He was obviously trapped in the game for so many years. How come back to reality, but he doesn't seem to miss every day in the world, and he doesn't fail to get married and have children, but he also has the memory of that part of the game. Is it possible that he lives in two parallel worlds at the same time?
Anyway, in this section, I cried because of love, because of regret, because you have grown up.

Dwayne Johnson confirmed in an interview that he will 100% consider running for the US presidency in 2024.
Yo, when Johnson is the general body of the United States, there should be no difference between political news and entertainment news, fashion news, and sports news. It should increase the public's attention to politics. Moreover, why does such a president seem so secure? Hahaha.

Pongpongpongpong~ Recently, some people downstairs were practicing drums, and the sound sounded like the drums when the crisis hit in the game. For those who have just watched this movie, it is very scene-like. However, I still have the urge to call the property to complain! !
