Character Analysis: 1. Joe: The one who made up his mind in the group with Jerry; a master in love; quick reaction, smart and alert (when Swisher asked where they had performed, Jerry hesitated, and Joe responded quickly ); Compared with the active and enthusiastic Jerry, it is reasonable enough; 2. Jerry: Even if he does not agree with some of Joe's plans, he will still do it with Joe in the end; he often thinks and complains; some willful ( After I made an appointment with Joe, I changed the name temporarily because I didn’t like it); lively, active and enthusiastic, good at getting along with women (as soon as I got on the train, I joked with my sisters and made dates with female musicians) Drinking alcohol, etc.); laughing loudly and cheaply; simple thinking 3. Spatz: shot Charlie and others indifferently and brutally; attaches great importance to the white socks on his feet; 4. Sweet Ken: sexy, big breasts Brain; likes drinking; likes tall, rich and handsome 5. Bing Shidong: wears glasses and likes to take advantage of others (after Jerry accidentally fell on the train, Bing Shidong patted Jerry's butt); 6. Shi Weisu: It's a bit stern; every time something happens, I yell at Bing Stone (the first time I yelled at Bing Stone when I was playing on the train, the wine bottle that Tian Tian Ken was hiding accidentally fell off) 7. Osgu Fielding: I like women with big bones (50:10); I am short and old, married 7 or 8 times, and have some mama’s treasures (what my mother is like if I talk about it); Very confident in the fortune; a bit masochistic (slapped by Jerry and liked him more)

Detailed analysis:

1. Spaz's white socks: Shape the character of Spadz. In the subsequent development of the plot, the feet wearing white socks will often appear.

2. A drunk man: The setting of this character is to express the importance that Spatz attaches to the white socks (the coffee was accidentally poured on the socks and he was kicked out), and the second is to serve as a symbol of scene switching ( During the police search and the crowd fleeing in the chaos, this person has been wandering drunk with a glass of wine, showing different scenes).

3. The emergency brake chain: The first time appeared at 28:34, when Jerry wanted to hang up his clothes, but Joe stopped it in time; the second time was when Jerry was about to fall asleep and asked Joe what he would do if an accident happened. Tell him to pull the emergency brake; third time at 47:53 at a party, the girls joke with Jerry and Jerry pulls the emergency brake to protect himself

4. "I'm a Girl": First appeared at 35:29. Before going to bed, Jerry lay on the top bunk to greet the girls, and Joe warned him that he was a girl. Later, in Jerry's joyous engagement with Osgu, Joe tells him that he's a boy. The performance of two extremes increases the sense of drama.

5. "The man who plays the saxophone": 44:28 When Sweet Ken is preparing ice cubes, he talks to Joe about the past, and tells Joe that the man who plays the saxophone is attractive to her and wants him to wear glasses , have their own yacht, read newspapers. Lay the groundwork for Joe to switch back to menswear later and take advantage of the desire to win Sweet Ken's likes.

6. Bing Stone's glasses are gone: 52:49, continuing the previous plot, laying the groundwork for the next plot development of the film

7. The light of the elevator: a tool for scene transitions - the first time when Osgu and Jerry struck up a conversation, the second time when Joe and Jerry were running away from Spaaz's pursuit, the third time Appears when Joe and Jerry are running away from Spaaz's boss.

American comedy black and white: Every scene has conflict, and the transition between scenes is very clever. Full of laughter and sublimation, semi-open ending.
