It's all about shit and fuck ratio

The beginning and end of the film are very interesting: the camera gradually zooms in from outside space, and finally reaches a corner of human life, and at the end of the story, the camera gradually zooms out and returns to space. It is like taking us to see the story of human beings on earth from the perspective of a third party or aliens.

shit and fuck, the creation of the stupid person, and the core of the whole movie. All the people in the story did, thought, and said shit and fuck. The plastic surgery of the old woman in the supermarket (just for a better fuck), the coach played by Pete goes to blackmail the CIA and break into the house (shit things), and two friends partying, men and women cheating, Conx idiots fantasize about writing biographies, and the man who has extramarital affairs is in The sex tools carefully created by the wife when she is on a business trip, etc., are almost all shit and fuck things. In the movie, when the protagonists panic, the first sentence they say is not: "shit" is "fuck", the first thing they think is to leave shit and fuck, but the result is just more shit and fuck.

The words of the old man in the supermarket are very interesting. His embellishment is very important. Compared with Linda's panic, he seems calm and stable, and reminds him kindly, which has the taste of a wise man hiding in the city.

The ingenious plot coordination achieves a good effect of black humor. At the end of the movie, the dialogue between the two people in the CIA is really funny, what the shit things.
This movie is worth watching,
