The three words "daydream" carry a veiled irony, often associated with unrealistic, whimsical, or similar words. But "daydreamer" is synonymous with positivity, inspiration, fun, and fulfillment. Adding the word "home" makes it look completely different. The protagonist of the movie, Walter, is a mediocre little white-collar worker in the city. From time to time, his brain is disconnected, and he fantasizes about becoming a peerless hero who can bravely confess to the person he likes, teach his rogue boss fearlessly, and not be entangled by worldly trivial matters. , live a warm and comfortable life. However, the fact is that in the thirty or forty years of Walter's life experience, there is nothing to show off, and the personal information on the dating website is so lackluster that no one cares. When the company he had worked for for more than ten years was about to transform and lay off staff, he seemed to be desperate. He went all over the world to find photographer Sean for the magazine cover film. Sea ships, skating speed skateboards, riding horses, riding a stranger's car, jumping into the sea from a helicopter in winter, escaping from a volcanic eruption, making deals with munitions chiefs, and climbing several kilometers alone The Himalayas... The ordinary life is instantly enriched. In the movie, Walter's dating website profile eventually attracted a lot of likes and likes. In reality, we are still the ordinary little white-collar workers who are conscientious and conscientious, occasionally raising their heads and daydreaming, such as imagining that they have won the lottery prize, and from then on to the peak of life, and then keep our heads down and continue to run for life in the real world. Go west. Walter's experience certainly made a difference in his life, more inner satisfaction, or more recognition for himself. There are few such opportunities in the life of ordinary people. For ordinary people, we use the small happiness in reality to inject vitality into the ordinary life, even if it is just a bunch of flowers and a big meal.
