The story of the entire movie took place during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. A Category 5 hurricane caused at least $75 billion in economic losses and became the most devastating hurricane in American history. At least 1,836 people were killed in the hurricane. Katrina caused huge losses to the US economy, especially the city of New Orleans, which almost brought a devastating blow. Between June, July, and August before the onset of the hurricane, it was the time when the story told by "Magic Mike" took place.
Looking at the "boy" played by Alex Pattyfer, before June, he was a poor boy with no shoes to wear except a pair of tennis shoes. He was shabby, unconfident, and nonchalant. In an experience of working on a construction site, I met Mike who works in a nightclub. In order to earn more money and gain more knowledge, the "boy" hoped that Mike would take him to the nightclub to observe. Mike works outside during the day and dances striptease in the nightclub at night, and is the pillar of the nightclub. At the instigation of Mike and his boss Dallas, the kid also walked to the stage. Although shy, he still had a good start, giving Dallas an extra choice for acting and trying hard to cultivate the kid's skills in striptease. Finally, the youthful boy who was once disappeared, and a lively stripper has grown up, and in order to make money, he also sells ecstasy to his customers. In three months, witnessed the growth of a male stripper. Time is a cutting knife, quickly changing the trajectory of a person's life. "Boy" is such a clear proof. As for the future, whether "Boy" will sink or be lost, God knows.
For the 30-year-old Magic Mike, even though he is still a pillar in a nightclub stripper, time does not save anyone, and his magic is already in a period of decay. And Mike, who is getting tired, is also bored with the career of a stripper who is a fan of paper and gold. While working hard in the nightclub, he goes to work on the construction site. The biggest hope is to make more money so that he can save more. Come down a bit. He dreamed of opening a furniture factory and making custom furniture. Moreover, he also hopes to have a normal love. The person he loves is far away from the striptease world and can live a quiet and normal life with him. In three months, he saved 13,000 yuan and got a little closer to his capital from the furniture factory. However, because the "kid" sold drugs and sold ecstasy and discarded it, and needed to return 10,000 yuan to the drug lord, Mike took out his own 10,000 yuan to fill the vacancy for the "kid". Mike, who was once again in a situation of no money, finally figured out that even if he couldn't open a furniture factory, he still had to leave the role of a stripper.
For Dallas, there is also a nightclub and find a group of strippers to solicit business. This is his life. When the "magic power" of the "magic microphone" is no longer available, then you can change to another one. Without a microphone, There are also "boys" who can be cultivated and life will continue forever. No matter how bad it is, he can also show off. Striptease has become a part of his life for him, and he can't get rid of it.
A nightclub, a stage, three kinds of life, three directions, what life is like, it depends on how you choose. For the audience, from this nightclub, from this stage, to see through different lives, and to think through three kinds of thinking, and to make some inventory of what their lives are like now, and think about how to go in the future, it is very wrong.
Channing Tutam and Matthew McConaughey showed off their muscles and shining their wonderful dance skills. They are very appreciative. Watching this movie can be very relaxing, and then relax and think a little bit, which is very good. Steven Soderbergh also used his first-class directing ability to make this film very nice.
