laugh wildly

Saw this movie in Hong Kong. At first, it was a bit confusing, and those clips were thought to be real previews. However, seeing that the director pulled a few people into the jungle, he explained it triumphantly, just as he was about to win, he stepped on the landmine, and the sound of "bang" was gone. Then I was like being flipped a switch, and I was laughing all the time, which was quite abrupt in the whole theater. A friend who went to see it kept asking me to control it.

This film mocks all the things we usually think of as good, the so-called friendship, the so-called relationship between people, the so-called choice between morality and money. At a critical time, everything seems so hypocritical and everything becomes naked. Many people can't stand it and think it's not funny. The laughter in the movie theater was not so enthusiastic, and some people may have been shocked. I felt so real, so I laughed a lot.

I think the men and women in Hollywood in the United States are probably laughing crazy, because every episode in it should be based on real people, but outsiders are not so clear.
