The advertisement of Microsoft XBOX is interpreted like this: In the operating room, a pregnant woman is going through the most painful and happiest thing in her life - childbirth. Suddenly the baby was launched from the mother like a missile, smashed through the window, and flew through the sky. All the way, the baby turned into a child, and then into a boy, a youth, a man of adulthood until old age, with white hair and loose teeth. There is a feeling of "seeing the building rise and seeing the building fall". In the end, it fell with a bang, and the destination - the cemetery. Then I typed out two lines of words: Life is short, play more. A very interesting advertising slogan, but the translation seems to be more interesting: Life is short, play in time.
But after all, some people still think that life is too long, or that the boring time is too long, it is long enough to eat, poop and sleep, and you have to face boredom, embarrassment and embarrassment in your life. God once gave a child with such an idea a ball of twine, saying that this is the journey of your life, and if there is a day you don't want to pass, you can pull out some of the twine. Time is sucked away like twine. The little boy took the ball of twine in his hand and began to edit his life: working for the landlord, it was too cumbersome, so pumping. I got married and started a business, which is good, but soon the kid was born, and trouble came, so I will smoke again. Finally, when the daughter is married and the son is married, there are not many twine left. Life is too short to have so much fun.
Our hero, Michael Newman, is such a kid. As an architect, with a car and a house, a beautiful and virtuous wife and two lovely children, he is considered a middle-aged man with a successful career and a happy family. More importantly, he is a good husband, good father, and good son who loves his family deeply. However, he also has his troubles. He is so busy that he has to call the boss when he goes out to spend the National Day with his family. There is a clip like this: When Michael was on the phone, the cute little daughter ran over to ask Dad, how long can you live, Michael saw the daughter coming, and said to the phone, one minute (one minitue, equivalent to hold on ,etc). The little girl immediately hugged her father's leg and cried: One minute, oh, one minute, father is going to die. Michael immediately hugged his daughter and said, no, I can live to be 200 years old, which is long enough for us. - I said, he is a good man.
It's natural to be in a mess while busy, and the most headache for him is the messy remote control at home. I want to turn on the TV, but the lights are on, I want to turn off the lights, the garage door is open, it seems that home electrification is not a good thing. So he decided to buy a universal remote control, which is the kind of one that controls the whole situation. I went to the supermarket and asked, no, but even the shower curtains and carpets have remote controls. I don't know if Americans like remote controls too much, or it's the scriptwriter's black humor. However, the waiter at the supermarket had a good sense of humor. When asked if he was speechless, he said, "I'm just acting for a friend. Michael asked back, are you joking?" "Yes, I don't actually have a friend. Would you like to be my friend?"
Maybe Americans have a natural sense of humor: they dare to make fun of Bush, they often make jokes about themselves, and when they are happy, they say some one-liners to increase the atmosphere , When embarrassed, take witty down the stairs. However, our Michael seems not to eat this set, and continues to look for the universal remote control. That's when our "God" appeared, - you can call him Modi, Angel, Angel of Death, of course none of that matters - we just know he gave Michael a "twist ball" - the magic remote . This remote control can not only control some household appliances, but even time and space are under the control of this little thing. Using this remote control, our protagonist can "fast forward", "playback" or even "stop" his time at will. Oh, by the way, there is also a language translation function. The technology is really advanced.
Of course, after a series of anecdotes and Modi's advice, our Michael can pass the boring time. The first is the mute of the pediatrics. There is a traffic jam. Someone drives an open-top sports car next to you and sings next to you. It's annoying, mute. Then there is fast forward, the hot water in the bathroom is broken, fast forward, quarrel with my wife, fast forward. And high-tech, talking about business with the Japanese, and using the translation function on the remote control to eavesdrop on trade secrets. Our Michael is on the rise.
A coin always has two sides. This little remote control actually has an automatic memory function - what I'm saying, electrification is not a good thing - so, as long as there is a fight in the future, fast forward, the bathroom water heater is broken, fast forward. Get sick, fast forward. Even worse, when you fast-forward, you're like a walking corpse, without feeling, and doing things perfunctory. Maybe our writers wanted to imply something. Let me guess, maybe he is saying that there are too many Michaels in reality, they are like a working machine, living absentmindedly, and their work has become the only purpose. So, his beautiful wife divorced him, and his elderly father left before he could see him for the last time. Between one fast-forward and another, Michael suddenly felt that the twine was being drawn too fast. Just like the missile Superman in XBOX, just a scream and he is about to go to the grave. Standing in front of his father's tomb, Michael felt melancholy. Let's go back to the last time we saw my father - the remote has a "playback" function, of course, our Michael can only watch, the remote is not a moonlight box.
The party of the three grandparents, but unfortunately Michael is just a working machine. Michael's son has inherited his father's business, working as an architectural designer under Michael's hands. At this time, Michael's father came to a surprise and came to them, hoping to have a bachelor party in the evening and get together. As can be imagined, Michael refused. So my father took out the magic copper plate and said let's make a deal, as long as you follow me, I will tell you its secret. ——Sometimes the relationship between father and son is so mysterious. When you were young, you might think that your father is omnipotent. For example, our Michael, when he was a child, he saw his father bite a piece of copper plate, and then blew a breath at it, and the copper plate recovered. . It's a magical thing, and when you grow up you know it's just a magic coin that you bought. Of course, maybe you'll keep it a secret because he's your father. - However, Michael of the working machine can't handle so much, I already know, don't disturb me. So, Michael, who was watching from the sidelines, could only watch Old Newman sadly leave, replaying his father saying I love you, son, over and over again. Every time I see this scene, I always think of the scene in "Journey to the West" where the Supreme Treasure looks at Zixia drifting towards the sun. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to be nurtured but the parent is not there.
Life is short, in a fast forward, Michael's life is about to end. Unfortunately, his son has become a working machine again. As soon as I got married, I decided to give up my honeymoon to go to work. Michael, who was lying on the hospital bed, seemed to see another self. Pull out the life-sustaining needle and tube and rush out of the hospital. In the wind and rain, Michael finally caught up with his son and lay dying in the arms of his family. First of all, he told his daughter that he could not be with her for two hundred years, and more importantly, he said three words to his son: "family comes first. number one)."
Oh, don't think that's the end of it. This is comedy. As soon as the picture changed, Michael was still in the home appliance market, just lying on a big bed. Huang Liang a dream? Anyway, I think Michael has come to his senses. I drove my car to my parents' house and said why don't we come to eat together every day, and then went home and told the children, let's go camping.
Well, there is basically no need to go on the story here, at most two lines of words: Life is short, family comes first. Finally, let me tell you the original name of the film - "click", you can say that you press (remote control), or epiphany. Anyway, I hope that after watching this film, in addition to laughter, you can also understand something.

    ben stiller and Adam are a bit silly to tell the difference... 1 completely protagonist, the rest is full supporting role 2 new bottle of old wine or family theme changed to a sci-fi gimmick package 3 a bit imitating the fake god’s footsteps 4 finally too sensational, it’s an idol The drama is about crying out the audience’s tears. 5 The inspiration for me is that no matter how boring life is, don’t do nothing. Doing nothing is the most wasteful

    Not as vulgar as outsiders say. Personally, I think it makes sense. Family first!
