Undoubtedly, this is a good movie made at a low cost. The simple character classification and the usual scene layout are not outstanding. What really moves people's hearts is the storyline and character.
The first thing that struck me about the movie was Roy's neurosis. I don't know if it's appropriate to describe this kind of mental obsessive-compulsive disorder, but this disease is in line with my personal preferences anyway. The landlord is a person with some obsessive-compulsive disorder and mild cleanliness. Roy's way of life has given me a great impact, and I think it's an upgraded version of my personal habits. However, there is one thing that makes me uncomfortable throughout the movie: why does Roy smoke. This drives me crazy, you are so hygienic! ! !
Well, everyone ignores my rant about Roy smoking ╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭ .
The second point is the daughter who came here suddenly. After watching the whole movie, we know that Angela is a fake. You are completely unprepared, and suddenly you have a daughter in your life. This kind of shock theory is difficult for anyone to digest quickly. The most important key of the whole movie is angela, without this daughter, Roy will not be able to Stuck on how to set an example for my father, whether I need to give up my con-artist career, and whether to confess to an important part of my life. Everyone has their own blessings and their own nemesis in life. A lover. When we don't meet them, we can be lawless, and we don't even believe that others in this world have built rules for us. But once we meet them, the body of how much armor we have disguised instantly softens.
Forgive me for always writing angela, The reason is that this Chinese translation name is unbearable for me, it's so ugly. I'm wondering how Li Xiang named her daughter o(╯□╰)o.
The third point is the end of the story. To be honest, a good movie is easily taken away by the protagonist, whether the protagonist is a decent character or not. I always feel a little bit unbearable for the kind of story of having nothing overnight. Although Roy's is considered ill-gotten wealth, it is always a little cruel for people to face this reality. Arranging such an ending is just for the end of the story, and returning to the true life is the meaning of life. Only then can I really let it go, and they are troubling me like floating clouds.
A little further. What is true and what is false in life, even if you know what is true and false, how much is meaningful. There is a line in the movie "Finance is a foreign movie without subtitles". Looking at the chatter on the stage, everyone has their own understanding, immersed in the joys and sorrows and can't extricate themselves, but do you know that their tears are joyful, and their smiles are helpless?
