The movie "Thelma and Louise " starring Jia Bing is currently being screened. In the movie, the male protagonist played by Jia Bing is named Jia Youwei. He was born in a not-so-rich family and has been educated since he was a child. Various “little tricks” to save money.
For example, when discharging tap water, the water flow should be at the minimum level, so small that the water meter will not read; when squeezing toothpaste, squeeze it hard from back to front, and do not leave any air in the toothpaste tube; even when adding incense, They have to break a stick of incense into three parts, and they also call it "as long as the intention comes to mind".
Under such a family education, Jia Youwei has always held himself to the standard of being a "diligence and thrift model" since he grew up. Every time he goes shopping, his main selection targets are all kinds of food that are due, and he has to cooperate with them. I don’t know where I collected all kinds of discount coupons from.
But then Jia Youwei's life changed significantly. While riding in the elevator, Jia Youwei fainted. The audience may find this scene quite funny, but for Jia Youwei But it's different.
After Jia Youwei was sent to the hospital, it was diagnosed that he only had ten days left to live.
After returning from the hospital, he was inspired by the breakfast stall owner and decided to "spend" the last ten days of his life.
Then the story enters the main line. In the last moments of his life, Jia Youwei thought of his three brothers when he was a student. Jia Youwei had sworn sworn vows with them on the top of the mountain, and each of them wrote down a note during the sworn ceremony. Make a wish, then put the note in a box and bury it in the ground.
Jia Youwei planned to use these ten days to find three brothers to help them fulfill their wishes. The three brothers' current lives were not satisfactory, so Jia Youwei quickly brought them together.
Jia Bing's comedies are all very Northeastern, so his three brothers are all played by Northeastern actors, namely Xiao Shenyang, Yu Yang and Dong Baoshi.
Little Shenyang needless to say. After he became popular with the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Not Short of Money", he successfully became one of the first-class comedy stars in the country. Although the film and television works he starred in were more controversial, if he was just a supporting role, his performance was still Very outstanding.
Yu Yang comes from the same school as Master Xiao Shenyang. In recent years, he can be seen in many comedy film and television works. Some time ago, in the popular TV series "Riding the Wind and Waves" on CCTV, Yu Yang played the role of Jia Weimin and won a lot of awards. Good reviews.
Although Dong Baoshi is a singer by profession, he has shown his talent for comedy in many variety shows. For example, in "五哈", he is the main comedian.
In this film, the second child is played by Xiao Shenyang. His family's financial situation is very good, but his wife earns all the money, so he seems to have a low status in the family and always feels a little aggrieved.
The third child is played by Yu Yang. Yu Yang has been fond of martial arts since he was a child and dreams of becoming a hero. He currently works as a security guard in a shopping mall, but he was fired because he watched a boxing match during work.
The fourth child is played by Dong Baoshi. He divorced his wife and has a son who likes rap. In order to make his son happy, he also started learning to rap. It feels like this role was tailor-made for Dong Baoshi.
said that he wanted to help the three brothers realize their dreams, but in fact, he also wanted to find someone to accompany him in his last days.
Then the four brothers spent money like crazy all the way, going to various places to spend like crazy.
Similar plots have appeared in many movies and TV dramas, so it seems that there is nothing new.
Moreover, the footage of the four brothers spending money wildly is interspersed with footage of the hospital testing the MRI machine, which clearly tells the audience that Jia Youwei's illness must have been misdiagnosed.
Of course, from the very beginning of the soundtrack when Jia Youwei went to the hospital for a check-up, we could guess that he would be fine, otherwise we wouldn't have used such a relaxing and joyful BGM that sounded a bit comical.
Sure enough, when she had almost spent her money, Jia Youwei learned that she was not actually sick, but that the hospital's MRI machine had malfunctioned, and that the reason why she vomited and fainted was because she ate expired food.
Knowing that he was not sick should have been a very cause for celebration, but when the four brothers were preparing to celebrate, they accidentally threw the remaining bag of cash into the river.
After the money was gone, Jia Youwei's stingy gene was fully resurrected. He vented his grievances on the three brothers. He loudly accused the three brothers by the river and said many scarring words.
So the four brothers parted ways again.
As a comedy movie, of course it cannot end with such an ending. In the end, Jia Youwei still used his own way to help the three brothers realize their wishes at this stage, and everyone was happy.
The scene where the four brothers help each other realize their dreams at the end of the film is quite touching, mainly because it doesn’t make people feel that it is deliberately sensational, and another commendable thing is that this film does not include random love scenes. Although Jia Youwei He met the goddess of his student days, but the two did not have a bloody love affair. Instead, they were like ordinary middle-aged men and women, with ideas but no passion.
Generally speaking, if you like comedies with Northeastern characteristics, then "Thelma and Louise" is still worth watching.
