Life is complicated

Good film!

In the beginning, when a female reporter and a videographer were shooting a report of a person’s suicide, the photographer was very excited because of the shocking footage. Satire journalism.

The female journalist is a workaholic, and the remarks she said when she won the award were also in question. "We can't just keep digging and digging to the end that deviates from the original intention of news. News practitioners should pay more attention to good and noble ones."

In fact, just like life, people have weaknesses, but they also have good and noble sides.

Then there is the absurd scene behind, where the impostor tramp has become a hero who has attracted much attention and played the role of God. But the tramp is actually a very kind person. Although he also lied, in this role he can do more and help more people. As long as the real person being impersonated doesn't mind, what does it matter?

The tramp said, “Under the attention of the media and the spotlight, anyone can become a hero. Heroes are just the good side of people’s hearts. The reason for paying attention to heroes is because they pay attention to the good side of their hearts.” It also shows that people worship The reason for idols is very real. People will inevitably follow idols and heroes. You think they are stupid, but you and I are just like them, with weaknesses and heroic aspects.

In fact, I'm quite afraid of exposing the tramp posing as a hero in the end. Fortunately, the script doesn't have such an arrangement. The male protagonist has always said two sentences to his son that "life is complicated", so "keep low profile" keeps a low profile, which is also his philosophy of life.

It can be said that it is difficult not to avoid the temptation of fame and attention, because as the male protagonist said, he is not as kind as John, so he does not want to get attention, don't need these names, just money.

Like this film, the dialogue inside is very interesting.

    Interesting and touching. The unique tones of the 90s movies are simple and sincere, and the characters are particularly vivid. A thief and rogue, but a hero who is genuine and honest, and a handsome homeless man who has nothing to do with the people’s fantasy of a hero. One identity and two. Life has reached a strange symbiosis. In fact, people only want to see what they want to see. This will never change, right?

    Imperfect, unable to find resonance. However, the definition of the fake hero in the film is a three-pointed
