The slightly noisy rock music cell phone ringtones are like annoying things, constantly disturbing the life of the protagonist Carl. Whenever he hears this annoying sound, of course Carl chooses to refuse.
People are divorced in middle age, and they have never been able to get a promotion or raise salary at work. It is really the most ordinary but middle-aged bad life. It’s probably the most embarrassing thing to run into an ex-wife and current boyfriend over a meal, but when one is embarrassed, it can always trigger other more embarrassing things to happen, like the dilemma that all of us will encounter. , There are thousands of horses in my heart who have stepped on to tell who. Taking a break for a coffee at the entrance of the unit, there are always people asking questions about whether they have been promoted or not. They can only find a reason to step down the stairs with a little self-deprecation. Life seems to be like this. Bad is normal. Being a salted fish can at least have a lot less troubles. If "Trumen's World" is about getting out of the comfort zone, then "Mr. Good" is more like everyone after the comfort zone. The only way to enter a bad life. So what to do?
My own resistance to new things in life, the hard work of my friends, the struggle to say that there is no change in my heart is also false, but it is just a little lack of courage to change. Sometimes life really has some surprises and opportunities. At the suggestion of a friend, Carl came to an organization called "Mr. Good" for consultation. Under the guidance of his mentor, he decided to deal with every problem in life. All say yes, and his life has changed drastically. At the beginning, Carl also resisted, because he promised to send homeless people a ride, the phone was hit by him, and the car ran out of gas in remote areas, making the protagonist regret this new attempt. However, after experiencing the worst, the goddess of luck followed one after another. It was such a coincidence that she met the heroine. So far, say yes finally opened a new door to Karl's life. Say yes made Carl’s life better. He was promoted unexpectedly, and he accidentally made a new girlfriend. Every time if he didn’t say yes, bad things would never come singly. This made Carl feel like he had to. The curse of say yes, so much so that Carl had to say yes no matter what. However, when he faced the seduce by his good friend's fiancee, he still held the bottom line. Even at the risk of not saying yes, something bad would happen, and he chose to flee immediately.
After an accidental car accident, Carl was finally awakened. It turned out that the curse was false, and there was no definite answer in his heart that was true. Say yes only allows life to have more possibilities, but the right to say yes always lies in yourself and not on everything around you. When you have the answer in your heart, just do it!
When all the opportunities are in front of you, you blindly say yes and don't refuse. It seems that you haven't given up everything, but will you really not lose the opportunity in this way? Sometimes gain also means loss, and loss also means gain, which means that everyone can only understand and savor. The protagonist is still very lucky. When he is unable to get out of the state of desolation in life, his good friends are always by his side and give constant encouragement, allowing him to participate in his life to find his motivation again; when he encounters difficulties, the first I spare no effort to help for a while. Good friends are really like this, happy for your joy, gratified for your happiness, empathy for your sadness, and do your best to make you better. It is normal to encounter bad things and people in life, but good things will always come, and good friends will always be with you. As long as you have these, what are the bad things in life?
The tone of the whole film is relaxed and casual, without major plot fluctuations, and the subject matter involved is also close to life. Appreciating the film is more like a process of appreciating desserts after a meal. The film mainly tells the story of a decadent man who refused to accept all new things at first, closed himself in his own old little world, refused to communicate with anyone, and then joined him with a "say YES to anything" After his project, his life also changed and became very clear. What the film mainly conveys is an extremely simple idea-learn to say yes to life and learn to embrace life. Different life attitudes will also bring different changes to life. If Carl hadn't chosen to help the tramp, he wouldn't have the chance to meet the goddess in his life. A positive and optimistic attitude towards life will make our life trajectory also positive and clear. Being active is always the best medicine for a tired life.
Just imagine, if your life is bad now, and you reject every opportunity and change in your life, then your life will remain bad. But if you try to say "YES" to them, it means that you may have half the chance to change your current state, add fresh variables to your life, or usher in beautiful things.
So, whenever there is an opportunity, I hope your answer is YES. Another life insight that this movie has brought me is that life can be extremely interesting and colorful. If it becomes immutable and tedious, then it must be the "lower strategy" of human life. Like the heroine, the rock band, the photo street run, and the changed Carl, learning to fly, learn Korean, and participate in drag parties, it is difficult to say what positive impact this event has brought to Carl in the short term. It is a "positive effect", but they are changing Carl's conception subtly for a long time, making Carl's life rich and memorable. I don’t know what the next challenge will be, I don’t know where I will be in the next second, learning a new skill, a trip that just walks away, this kind of infinitive life model, I think it’s me Really envy and look forward to it.
