Haorongyi: Share film and television information and experience film and television culture
Have you ever doubted your current life and felt that living a day-to-day life for several years was too monotonous and boring, but at the same time, you were addicted to this lifestyle? Don't want to change? Do you habitually reject all unknown things because you find them too troublesome?
If you have ever had such an experience, you might as well watch Jim Carrey's movie "Mr. Nice Guy" and find a different kind of experience from this movie full of adventure and joy.
The movie "Mr. Nice" stars Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel, Bradley Cooper, and Rhys Darby. It tells the story of a man who habitually refuses and lives in his own world. The changes that happen in your life after saying "yes".
Although thirty-year-old Carl (played by Jim Carrey) has no worries about food and clothing, his life can be described as a complete failure. He had been working in a bank for several years, with no hope of promotion, and was just hanging around waiting to die.
Since divorcing his wife three years ago, Karl has refused to associate with others. Even invitations from his best friends are often rejected by him with the excuse of "too busy." And the thing that keeps him busy is watching movies.
Carl often sits on his sofa, turns off the lights, wraps himself in a small blanket and watches a new movie that he bought from a long queue at the video store, and complains about the plot from time to time.
This kind of life lasted for a long time, until one day, one of his former colleagues saw Karl at the door of the bank where he worked, and told him about the "Yes Man" activity organization he had recently participated in, claiming that this organization had gained him Lots of freedom and joy and egging Carl on to join in the fun.
After being fooled, this man also smashed the glass door of the bank with a stone. Looking at his former colleague's reckless escape, Karl was deeply shocked by the changes that had happened to him and was touched by this reckless behavior.
In addition, Karl had a nightmare when he went home at night, dreaming that he died alone at home. His best friends came over a few days ago to discover his body, and by this time flies were already crawling on his face.
After Kyle woke up, he planned to go to the organization mentioned by his former colleague to take a look, just as a spectator. As a result, the night he went there, Carl struck up a conversation with the founder of the organization. With the founder's speech and the encouragement of people around him, Carl signed a "Say Yes" contract with him, that is, after leaving here, he would meet in person. Say yes to anyone's request or inquiry.
So Karl, who was used to refusing, had to accept all unknown things and agree to all requests made to him because of this contract. This series of "Yes" pushed Carl's life and life to a different situation, giving him many new life experiences.
In the process of Carl saying yes to everything, a new chain of cause and effect led his life in a more exciting direction. These include:
Sending the homeless man up the mountain, giving him all the cash, and lending him his mobile phone, which caused the mobile phone to run out of battery → The car ran out of fuel and had to go to the gas station to refuel → Met Alison (Joseph Johnson) who was passing by the gas station E. Deschanel), the starting point for a new relationship.
agrees to take the bar flyer → go to the bar according to the flyer → see Alison performing on stage again;
agrees to all loan applications → help the bank discover new loan models → get promotion and salary increase, and join the board of directors , met more friends who need loans;
accepted the promotion of various skills training courses → learned various skills such as guitar, Korean, and flying airplanes → used guitar playing to save a man who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building, and used Korean skills to help his friend’s wife get a better job Wedding Party Experience;
Finally, Carl got rid of "Say Yes" contract, with sincere acceptance and affirmation, made Alison, who mistakenly thought that Carl agreed to be together because of the contract, change her mind, and the two finally came together.
Although the whole film is full of a strong sense of comedy, many "Yes" choices lead to better development, and many scenes also make people laugh (for example, the old lady takes off her braces to help Carl do strange things) , Carl uses tape to wrap his face until it is deformed and distorted, Carl exposes his butt and rides a Ducati to chase the wind, etc.), but under the appearance of comedy, it is very meaningful.
Because in life, if we blindly refuse, it will only make the world around us become more and more closed. Unless you can really enjoy it, you will become more and more autistic and confused.
Only through selection can event branches be generated. Only by saying "Yes" can the unknown "next" be spawned. Under this premise, even if you try, there may not be perfect results, but at least you can still be exposed to some new ones. stuff, and that’s enough to change your life.
So, you might as well be a "Yes Man" at certain moments in your life and give yourself a chance to accept the unknown!
