An innocuous mockery of the American Dream

Buying a copy, I actually want to make a low-budget comedy/crime movie. There are no hot action scenes. Bayes' usual upside-down and side-shift shots all seem empty and powerless, especially when the protagonists are with the car, I always feel that Something bizarre happens in the next second, but nothing happens, except for the stupid criminal actions of the protagonists.

Although I have never made a really good movie with a good reputation in my life, Mr. Copywriter, a blockbuster expert and box office hitman, is undoubtedly a big winner in life. I believe in fitness, I am still not sure whether there is any ridicule for the kind of commercial blockbuster that I only make commercial blockbusters and is a big box office hit.

Abe is clearly the kind of person who has achieved his "American Dream", a winner and a doer. Is there any self-examination in his willingness to make this film? In other words, what attracted him to this true story?

It's a story about a bunch of stupid people's absurd interpretation of the American Dream, and their muscles are what they believe in. They believe that in the American Dream, muscle pays off, and the key is to be a doer.

I don't think selling copies is a good storyteller, and even absurd comedies are desperately trying to look hot and completely ruin the atmosphere. Without the explosions, robot fights, and car chases, the story loses its focus, and there are no dramatic moments. Of course, if this is a cool, profound, author's film with the icy temperament of European cinema, none of this is a problem.

There is no doubt that this is not a good movie. There shouldn't be fans who sell copies to quarrel with me~~
Oh, I am a fan who sells copies, and I have seen all the commercial blockbusters that sell copies...

This is an absurd comedy, but stupidity overshadows the absurd.

    American Dream, hehe. Michael Bay's photography is nothing short of compliments.

    6 points, although a little unfinished, but overall okay. (The voiceover and narrative of the characters in this film are more fluent than the Chinese partner...) Wahlberg is free between comedy and drama. In the drama, he has the most comedic effect, and in the comedy Here he is an actor. . . 【Score range 5-6 points】
