When I watched the first half of the remote control battle against Shenwei, I was still very envious of the protagonist's encounter. He can use the remote to activate "auto-navigation" to skip segments he doesn't want to face. But in the end, skip the wife's nagging, and miss her care. I skipped the noise of my children and missed their growth. For work, he fast-forwards a lot, and he can even skip the pain of being sick, skip the tediousness of waiting for the bus, and even get promoted without experiencing the hardships of work.
And he skipped so much that it even came after his father died. He can only use the remote control to replay his missed life. He saw the old father do that clumsy magic trick for himself, just to spend a little more time with his son; he saw the "self" at the time burying himself in his work and ignoring the father's expectations; he saw the father finally disappointed like a child Just walk away, but still say "I love you" to him. When he finally realized that he had lost his father, he could only use the remote control to replay the last time his father said to himself "I love you"; "...I thought it was cheesy, but I couldn't help but burst into tears. There are not so many ups and downs in life, and no matter how tacky the family relationship is, it will never be out of date.
And all of this, at the end of the film, it turned out to be just a dream of Nanke. As a comedy, this is also the inevitable ending. It is conceivable how depressed and hopeless we would feel if the movie ended in a life controlled by a remote control. After the protagonist woke up, my heart suddenly opened up. Watching him embrace strangers gratefully, watching him feel immensely satisfied with his middle-class broken car, watching him wake up his parents in the middle of the night to tell them his unspeakable joy, watching him kiss and celebrate with his wife and children... ...and finally he got a girlfriend for the male dog who always "destroys" the toy duck. And when the ugly "bitch" walked in and went straight to the toy duck, I finally let go. Yes, this is life, ordinary, trivial, and full of ironic mistakes. How warm and satisfying.
Life is short, so why keep fast-forwarding? Many times, the pain is simply unbearable when we put it on a widescreen.
At the end, he actually saw the remote control wrapped as a gift on the table again. If it ended like that, the movie would be a horror movie in no time. So the protagonist threw the remote control into the trash without hesitation, and everyone was happy.
But still want to fantasize, if I had that remote, what would I choose? At the very least, I'd like to point it at my roommate who's always chomping at meals and press "mute."
