As simple as a comedy, not just as simple as a comedy

If the name of the movie is literally translated, it is not inferior to its Chinese name "The world is flat". Although not as good as this philosophical conception, it has a sense of humor and seems to fit the theme of comedy better.
Where is just comedy as simple as that.


Americans are very flexible. Perhaps this has something to do with the growth of the nation. This is their absolute advantage. It is really difficult to move from a steel-reinforced concrete world, a prosperous coastal city, advanced technology, and a comfortable and comfortable place to living in a primitive nation. Jumping on the train, riding and jumping, walking the road blocked by cattle and sheep, eating shaved ice, eating rice, dancing Indian dance, listening to Bollywood music, celebrating the Holly Festival, getting to know the god of destruction, Gali... the life of a typical American It changed so depressed. Learning American accents, wearing uniforms to work, seeing "cheese hats", and "roasting sausage machines", the lives of Indians have also changed. This is the impact of Outsourced. Of course, as for the "Goa Holiday", not everyone is so lucky.

I just need to open my heart, the Holi Festival will be very beautiful, the employees are very happy, the task can be completed quickly, the hospitality and help of the Indians, and the love of the beautiful Indian girls. Looking back, I found that life at that time was full of fun, and I was infected by the locals and benefited a lot. The world is flat, so this attitude is needed.


The director cleverly used "Outsourced"-the current mainstream commercial operation trend, and used Thomas L. Friedman's "The World Is Flat" as a classic, as the central idea of ​​the story, to make such a simple one Comedy has a topical connotation, not empty. It also borrowed the cultural differences between the two ethnic groups in the United States and India to add a relaxed plot to the story, and even the Indian sex books were used to ensure the perfection of the story.

The story is simple and clear, there are not many characters, and the relationship is not complicated, but the rhythm of the plot development is well grasped. Watching commercial films Space Hole, watching idol films is too tired, and watching movies is too tired. I have always wanted to find such a movie. I won’t fall asleep while watching it, won’t be distracted while watching it, don’t see it very tired, and fall into it. At the end, I find that time passes quickly, but my mind is extremely relaxed. . "Outsourced" is such a one, as simple as a comedy, not just as simple as a comedy.


The topicality of this movie is also of great value. After watching it, I found that my thinking has extended to many aspects. The film was shot in India, from the United States, and the background of the map is the whole world. Think of China as the protagonist of Outsourced. Economic value cannot be discussed. I can understand it very superficially, but I will go to Thomas L. Friedman's "The World Is Flat".
