If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish

It seems that overnight, everyone is bad-mouthing the paper media, even the movies are no exception. Walter from Daydreamer was the film processing manager for Life Magazine, which was acquired and only the last issue was left, but the cover film for the last issue was missing, and he had to find it within a week. Photographer, complete the mission. It may seem like a joke from God, but Walter has taken a journey that is more exciting than a daydream.
Newly divorced, financially stressed, about to lose a job, having trouble at work, and failing to use a dating site, Walter is simply a deteriorating value. Introverted to a colleague who is close at hand, he dares not speak to her face to face, but go around looking for her on a dating website, only daring to imagine extraordinary adventures in an ordinary and unchanging life. Worst of all, he found that he couldn't fill out the forms on the website at all. The mediocre real life made him unable to fill in the questions of "where have you been?" and "what adventures have you had?", but the mate's requirements for mate selection happened to be creative. , adventurous spirit.
Traveling as soon as you say go seems to be the standard configuration of many chicken soup for the soul. But self-directed and self-acted Ben Stiller still tried his best to present a comedy film that was not blunt and not trivial, not to mention the wonderful scenery in the film when he traveled through Iceland, Greenland and the Himalayas.
However, the biggest feature of this film is a series of daydreams extended by Walter's brain hole, fantasy and nasty new bosses fighting in the streets for 300 rounds, saving the city crisis, and facing the sweetheart with ease... If we all have a small theater in our brains, the Walter one must be the most frequently staged theater.
For the perfect final issue of "Life Magazine" to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and go to an adventure, "Daydreamer" may be regarded as Ben Stiller's tribute to the paper media, or it can be called A hymn dedicated to dedicated and diligent ordinary people. Whether or not you can catch up with beautiful girls, and what to do after the magazine goes out of business, these may not matter. As one of my favorite slogans said: "Focus on doing something, at least it can be worthy of time and years, and leave the rest to time to talk."
