      far less sharp than expected

      Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, the subject matter of exposing the Hollywood insider - that's the whole reason I'm watching this movie - is vulgar, and that's exactly what the film satirizes.
      The subject of mid-life crisis comes up every year, and this film features the identity of this middle-aged man—a well-known Hollywood producer. Because of the peculiar profession, the things that plague De Niro's male lead seem absurd, such as whether Bruce Willis shaves or not, and whether the puppy...

      The American version of "The Way to Survive Love Is a Last resort"

      "Instant Happening" tells about the various faces of people in Hollywood. The story is a bit like "The Way to Survive If You Have to Love". It is told from a male perspective, and the male protagonists are also working for the family and the family at the same time. They are troubled by their careers, and both of them have a glorious past. One is the producer and the other is the director. Especially the episode where the couple seeks psychotherapy in "That" is almost the same as the one in...

      Inside and outside

      The people who think this film is bad are the people in the film who think the film is bad~

      The film in the final film was released according to his intention, and he deliberately made the ending more exaggerated.

      From the poster, it is all inside and outside the film. I want to shut up idle people and teach people to go with the flow.

      If you don't follow suit or you don't follow suit, that's what happens to BEN.

      Facing the same ending, what will the dog...

      I really can't sympathize

      With Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, and the freshman Sean Penn, you'd think this movie couldn't be any worse. You were wrong, and so was I. It's a niche movie, made for Hollywood producers whose battered lives are still heaven to us. In the middle of the midlife crisis, driving a Cayenne, living in a mansion, and beauties making you unspoken, how can we sympathize with you in such a life? Recently, it was discovered that the financial crisis not only collapsed the big investment banks, but also...

      Who the fuck is cool who knows

      The film is good. The rhythm, dialogue, and interspersed are very comfortable. I like old faces.

      The female producer didn't know who it was, her voice was dull, and she had seen it in "Jinova" before. I can't tell why, just like it.

      Although it is somewhat comical, it is doubtful whether the director or actor may be a big name in the movie, but the feeling of being caught by various large and small characters is common.

      In middle age, it's really fucking unlucky,...

      Such a straightforward satire is not clever at all; the script is also written like a joke, and the laughs are almost concentrated on the cameo...

      It is difficult for film and television people to be objective when they write about themselves. But it did. But the pace of the film and the mood of the niche are too. . . It's unacceptable. Just Robert De...

    Movie plot

    In this life, he has almost lived for others. Everyone around him has expectations and desires of one kind or another for him, designing what kind of face he should live in this world, and He is starting to pull Ben into his own imagination. He can be a "money printing machine", a lucky person, a successful artist, a loyal husband, an omniscient father, etc., but no one has ever asked Ben. What do I really want. Surrounded by such a...

    Evaluation action

     "What Just Happened?" allows the audience to see the terrible and cruel battles in Hollywood. Another more important role of the film is to expose the secrets of Hollywood and satisfy people's desire for prying to the greatest extent. The appearance of Sean Justin Penn and Walter Bruce Willis as real identities undoubtedly greatly increases the credibility of the film's "revelation". The self-deprecating spirit of Walter Bruce Willis,...

    Movie quotes

    • Jeremy Brunell: [In the cutting room sanitizing his film, "Fiercely", following a big drunk] I was seven days away from getting a cake, man. All right? A cake for a year sober. Me, a cake. And you and your diabolical bloody naked treachery took that away from me.

      Ben: No, that's not true...

      Ben: [a short time later] Let me get you a Valium. Just for now. It's not that I don't... But we're on deadline. This is for us, these changes.

      Jeremy Brunell: Can I have a couple of Vicodin instead?

      Ben: Sure, easy.

      Jeremy Brunell: Go get three of them, Ben.

      Ben: Three? Coming up.

      Ben: [On the phone] Yeah, get me, uh... my office to get three Vicodin and bring them to the cutting room right away.

    • Ben: Life's not that bad, I'm in France, life is good.
