I watched this movie a few years ago as a comedy, and I was amazed at the courage of the six of them. I looked it up from the hard drive and watched it again. This time, I was not only amazed, but more emotional...

When a person lives with nothing, what should he do under pressure? The splendid exposition of this steel city at the beginning of the film is actually an explanation of the heyday of life. The superb craftsmanship and enviable work have created their indelible sense of superiority, so that when the video tape is finished, the camera suddenly turns around. When I was in a desolate and abandoned factory, I deeply felt the feeling of being abandoned by society! Their own values ​​are not recognized by their families. Some people escape, some commit suicide, and some make compromises...

The story takes place in the UK, at the time of the financial crisis that devastated the world. Against this background, unemployment appears to be a logical thing to do. In normal years, losing a job and finding a job again might not seem so difficult, but now, for the six protagonists in the film, it is a more difficult thing. So they were abandoned and left behind. But what they can face and bear is obviously not such a situation. Whether it is the pressure of the family or the vision of the society, for them, any happy thing seems to have lost its taste. It has become the goal of life; to find a job again is the hope and motivation of their lives. For the six people in the movie, no matter the age, when they lose their jobs, they also lose the material source and source of survival they depend on. Spiritual sustenance, for this reason, their road to finding a job is destined to be full of hardships and desires. In the film, "The Six Heroes of the Light Pig" wrote a farce that looks ridiculous in a witty and humorous British style, but in fact, the chaos is only the initial impression of the film, and it is really hidden in this film. Deep down, there is an indescribable emotion. This kind of touching comes from the mutual support between the six people in the movie, from the family's tolerance and understanding of the husband, and from the selfless dedication and love of the father to the children and the family. The emotional power that overflows in the film can create a box office miracle that year.

The six people in the film suffered pain and torment, but everything was spent in banter and hustle and bustle, with gag and humor running through them. Optimistic and cheerful, take off, put on, take off, put on the clothes, back and forth, shaping the dignity of human nature, but also shaping their own courage. This is not a typical critical film. It does not criticize all the guilt in the film, nor does it have tragic bittersweet singing. Under the director's hands, the tragicomedy of the little people in the film is overlaid. A shell of laughter and scolding, in the constant verbal provocation, the audience gets both short-term spiritual pleasure and long-term thinking aftertaste. The final climax appeared when the six people took off their clothes collectively. The women in the bar were screaming, and the men on the stage were showing off their coquettish coquettishness. When the cover was removed, it finally reached the highest point of emotion. Then, the audience saw a kind of emotion, the emotion that their career could finally succeed, and also saw the sadness, but it was inevitably not caused by their own emotions~

There are many in this film. Highlights:
1. There are no handsome men and women. Don't be too demanding when it comes to six middle-aged and fat men's eyes, but knowing that such an actor arranges the background of the story is a challenge to the striptease, isn't this enough to attract your attention?
2. No self-pity and self-deception. The first impression of laid-off workers is miserable. People who have lost their careers are easy to deny their own value and cognition of new things in society, but what is reflected in the protagonist is the yearning and pursuit of a better life, never inferior or negative, and encourages the other five people to make The actions of surpassing the moral values ​​accumulated in a lifetime are nothing more than two words - making money, they are truly self-made.
3. Overcoming a midlife crisis. It is especially reflected in David, who has no job, is humbled by his obesity and dare not go to striptease, but is unexpectedly understood by his wife to support their "special cause", and Gates' son They have always stood by Dad's side to support his career. It is the courage to stand on the stage that has allowed them to regain their confidence and passion, and can face the imperfections of life.
4. A special British sense of joy. Watching "Shaun of Zombies" will not forget the humor that small people show when they face big decisions Above, the sun is shining." An optimistic attitude led them through seemingly impossible crises, struggling to survive in the cracks, without tears, but with a sad smile like the "King of Comedy".

ok, maybe not everyone has the ability, courage, and courage to take on the honor and ideals that have passed away. Maybe you're starting to get bored and don't know what you're after, what you want, what to give up and what to say goodbye to. In fact, everyone has been depressed, lost, and lost, and they don't know how they will survive next. So, I would like to invite you to take a look at the dance troupe formed by this group of losers. With so many miserable people together, who can be more miserable? Maybe what you need is a spirit to adjust the atmosphere. In "The Six Heroes of the Light Pig", in the club, their friends come, their wives come, their children come, the police who once detained them come, Their co-workers, brothers and sisters all came, men and women... At the end, when they threw their last shameful hats to the audience, that scene was so exciting, so warm and inspiring. Quickly get rid of the depression and loss that have been suppressed for too long, and regain the spirit of loving life. The people off the stage applauded for them, hoping to make you smile more knowingly and face the good life refreshed! Let "times change, things are neither people nor people" get out of here!
