A man who works under the hands of a rich and demanding old man is very depressed, because he is destined to be looked down upon. Even if he has made achievements, he will be considered to have borrowed his light. If he is a person who has his own ideas and does not want to live such a life, his pain will be doubled. If he finds out that his wife has cheated again, his pain can simply swallow him.

In the film, Bill is such a man. He impulsively wanted to avenge his wife's lover, but turned out to be a laughingstock, and even his wife separated from him. Bill, whose relationship and career have fallen to the bottom, is not idle. On the one hand, he is discussing cooperation with a dessert shop in private and seeking his own career. On the other hand, he is hanging out with a boy who has studied with him for his graduation assignment. The boy taught him to change his image, teach him crazy play, and also made him realize what kind of life he wants. Finally, his wife accepted him again and helped him negotiate a cooperation with the dessert shop, but he chose to leave.

When Bill changed his image and state, his wife began to change her mind. I thought it would be the end of the husband and wife paying back their homes. The movie is to show us that men living in the shadow of the old man will live very poorly. For a certain reason, the wife who once loved you will also despise you. The red apricot will come out of the wall and the green hat will offer it. However, you can find your wife's respect and love by changing yourself.

In the end, he gave up the cooperation with the dessert shop and left his wife. Then the central idea of ​​the movie has changed. It has become that a man living in depression may not know what kind of life he wants, and some crazy behavior may truly release himself, and the choices he made after regaining himself are It may be surprising. The harder I was pressed before, the harder I rebounded after release.

There is also Jessica Alba in the film, but it is an irrelevant role, and the film does not give her much room to play, so it is worth mentioning.

Meet Bill quotes

  • Bill: Paul, could you not be a fag for half a second?!

    Paul: I'll try...little acorn.

  • Bill: Let me tell you something, kid. Working sucks, okay? Working sucks! And it doesn't matter if you're in a bank, a department store or a doughnut factory, because once you've been there long enough, the only thing you'll care about is when your next pay increase is, how many vacation days you've accrued and if your health insurance is gonna pay for the cholesterol medicine that keeps your heart pumping no matter how much shit you've worked through it. Then after you've gained 20 or 30 pounds because you're so fucking uptight all the time, you wake and discover you're working for your father-in-law in a position with a gratuitous title and you're totally replaceable. And not only is the new guy better at your job, but he's got a better car and better jokes and better hair! So not matter what you do, you make sure you make a lot of money doing it because it all sucks! And that is one lesson I, as your mentor, can teach you.
