Man forty

Elsie 2022-03-19 09:01:02

Xu Anhua has a movie called Man Forty, in which Jacky Cheung and Anita Mui play a middle-aged couple, narrating the boring emotional life and helpless life pressure of middle-aged people. He is one of the few more restrained characters of Jacky Cheung.

This drama film is indeed very clichéd. The male host is generally in a certain predicament, sometimes it is his own feelings, sometimes it is outsiders' miscalculations, and then a series of embarrassing things happen, and all the bad things will happen to him. , Just in the process makes people laugh.

Of course, although the male host may be a little stupid, timid, or even a little low in intelligence, he must be kind and helpful by nature.

But in the end, there will be an equally kind and caring girl (a GRANDMOTHER in this movie) who will fall in love with him. Although there must be twists and turns, the ending must be beautiful.

We are all laymen, all at a loss, depressed, hesitant, and cowardly, warm love will eventually make us complete and happy people. From an optimist's point of view, this comedy also speaks to the essence of our lives.

Comedy makes people superficial and happy, tragedy makes people deep and painful. Sometimes, simple and superficial may be a better choice.
