The plot tells the story of 27-year-old Adam, a radio show planner, one day, he was diagnosed with cancer, which gave him a great blow. However, with the company and support of his funny friend Kyle, his caring mother, and a young doctor Katty, Adam gradually realized the most important things in his life and decided not to let this disease easily Ruined his life.
The movie is about a guy who follows the rules, doesn't smoke, drink, go to nightclubs, or even run red lights, but cancer came to him for no reason. At first, he was calm and even comforted his relatives and friends around him. Changes (starting chemotherapy, facing life and death), and some long-standing problems have also appeared one by one. Of course, the shaky relationship with his girlfriend cannot withstand this heavy blow, and the relationship with poor communication with his parents also needs to be resolved. Although the film is a sketch, the content is solid, so it will not make people feel thin and dull. In the film, there is a sense of crisis at the end of the day, and the expression of trying to live out oneself. American film critics praised 50/50 as a modern work full of the spirit of Frank Capra (Frank Capra was a comedy master of Wen Yu in the 1930s. His works were witty, intimate and delicate, showing human nature, and more emphasis on bright and optimistic enterprising attitude).
Director Jonathan Levine did not let the film fall into the atmosphere of fear and sentimentality for too long, but brought it through with many humorous plots. For example, when he was about to confess to his family that he had cancer, he even said at the beginning that you had watched "Intimacy"? (Oscar winner in 983, describing the great tragedy of family ethics due to cancer and separation). Another scene is that after the first chemotherapy, Joseph, who was in a very high state because he ate biscuits containing marijuana, walked through the long hospital corridor with a smile on his face. The tragic and tragic situation of this scene is very conflicting.
The male protagonist, Jon Joseph, interprets the various stages of the people in the play from health to disease and even later treatment, and the comedy elements of this film can be said to rely on Seth Rogen, who plays his friend Kyle. He not only He grabbed a lot of Joseph's limelight with his staggering performance, and diluted the sadness of the impermanence of life in the film, and the strong friendship that never left is also touching. Anna Kendrick, who plays a young psychiatrist, has a shrewd dexterity and a sense of continuity with Up In The Air. As for the veteran actress Anjelica Huston, who plays the nagging and controlling mother, she also shows the skill of the sword.
50/50 actually tells us that there should be more than a 50/50 chance of happiness and joy in life. As long as you are optimistic and positive, you should suffer less harm and trouble.
