"Life is not a movie. Life is much harder than a movie."-A classic line from the movie "Paradise Cinema".
When I started writing the movie "Day Dreamer", I suddenly remembered what Alfredo said to Dodo.
Now it's fine and meaningful.
Especially at an age when I have grown up, I gradually experience the life of marrying, having children, and setting up a family with my friends and relatives around me, and I can feel the hardships and difficulties of life.
So, there is always a moment when I want to escape myself. Is there anything?
Life is difficult, but sometimes it still can’t stop us from daydreaming.
At least, it allows us to get some relief and relaxation from the "too hard" stress, even if the duration of this process is only short.
The comedy-style movie "Day Dreamer" can just satisfy everyone's small wish of daydreaming occasionally.
The style of this film is brisk,It's really uncompressed to watch it again.
The film was released in 2013. It is a bit special in the ranking of various dramas and comedies.
On Douban, which is very popular among senior film fans, "Daydreamer" received a high score of 8.5 points.
The male protagonist of this film, Walter, is a negative film asset manager who can be stunned if he is not paying attention. From time to time, he would put himself in a state of daze, trance, and daydreaming.
One thing to note is that the actor who played Walt is also the lead actor of 1span Ben Stiller _span 117strong.
's multiple talents, coupled with his own skills as a comedian, can very much drive the audience's interest in watching movies.
The "Life" magazine where Walter Mitty was employed in the film is now facing a transitional period of network transformation.
During this period, the company newly appointed a senior executive Hunter. His appearance made many employees feel uneasy.
Because the transformation of the company means layoffs,Regardless of whether the employees’ qualifications are old or new, they are basically worried about this.
Every employee is thinking about keeping his job.
"Life" magazine, there is a final issue to be printed.
As the selected cover of the last issue of the magazine, photographer Shane O'Connor handed the important No. 25 negative to Walter, who has been cooperating for 16 years.
If it wasn't for the film to have a little problem, Walter might still maintain the previous state: I only dare to think, not dare to do it.
may still be the person who likes fantasy and daze, but dare not take practical risks.
Just like he treated Cheryl, the female employee he likes, he only dared to fall in love with him, but he didn't dare to confess directly.
Similarly, if it were not for the courage given by love, Walter might still be that courageous man.
said that he took the risk because of love, because Walt found the goddess Cheryl on the social network that made him beloved.
The type of man Cheryl likes is brave, adventurous, and creative.
currently is not the type Cheryl likes, but Walt wants to become the kind of man Cheryl likes.
If you can’t find the negatives, Walter’s work will be in a lot of trouble, which is related to the cover selection of "Life" magazine.
As life is a bit boring, Walter can’t fill in his own adventures on social networking sites. Even sending an online wink to the goddess can't do it.
Under the double challenge of work and love, and also in order to find the photographer Shane, Walter began his own adventure.
For work, for love, this man took out his courage and started a crazy journey in the process of searching for negatives.
While helping Walt find clues, Cheryl encouraged him to go to Greenland to find Shane.
to find the No. 25 film that plays a key role.
Walter came to Greenland where there were only 8 people,In a small bar, through the proprietress and the drunken pilot who sent letters, Walter had information about Shane's itinerary.
Slightly off topic: The booty beer in the Greenland pub is so interesting.
Walter came to Greenland by plane from the magazine. He ventured on the helicopter of a drunk pilot on Greenland, and then encountered a big shark after falling into the water.
As soon as he came to Greenland, Walt’s adventure life was amazing.
This is probably the most adventurous experience since he grew up.
Especially in the part where Walter fell into the water, there are icy waters in the shot that neutralize the ship, a bit like the movie "Titanic".
I don’t know if this paragraph is a tribute to the classics.
Unable to find Shane in Greenland, Walter flew from Greenland to Iceland, rode a bicycle to the volcano, and skated to Styskihomir Airport, and encountered a volcanic eruption midway.
adventure and excitement are there,But for the purpose of work, Walter did not find the expected photographer Shane in this big adventure.
Walter had to return to the magazine first, but he did not expect to encounter a major layoff of the magazine.
He has not found the No. 25 film yet, and he meets the bearded boss again.
The bearded boss said to him before: If you meet you next time, you must see the No. 25 negative.
No matter how good the previous work was, but this time Walt did not find the negative number 25 as scheduled. In a word, Shane was fired by his bearded boss.
Walter returned home a little frustrated, but unexpectedly learned of the itinerary of photographer Shane from his mother's mouth.
was dismissed, and under the encouragement and guidance of his mother, Walt started his journey to find , , , , Afghanistan.
This is his second adventure for work and love.
The No. 25 film that Walter is looking for,It was hidden in the wallet that Shane gave him.
This is after Walter went through hardships, after he found Shane who was photographing snow leopards in Himalayas , Shane told him.
And the wallet that Walter thought was useless and dropped it, was picked up carefully by my mother.
The No. 25 film hidden in the wallet is the cover image of the last issue of the "Life" life magazine , which is a photo with the theme of Walter.
The theme is very touching. It is a photo taken specially by Shane for Walter-a tribute to the person who created the "Life" magazine, Walt Miti.
But the workplace is frustrated but the love scene is proud.
Walter successfully held hands with her secret goddess Cheryl at the end of the film.
is also considered a Happy Ending.
The great feeling after watching this film is that the structure of this film is very complete.The detail shots have a very clear context before and after, and the logic is very complete.
For example, Walter’s mother will collect his childhood-to-large objects very well, including photos of his skateboarding when he was young and reported by newspapers, as well as the stubborn little man toys that he loved when he was a child.
Following this detail of Mom’s love to save Walt’s belongings, Walter can find the No. 25 film in the wallet.
Following the details of his childhood like skateboarding and stubborn little men’s toys, Walt can trade toys for three kids’ skateboards in Iceland.
This skateboard in exchange won the love of Cheryl's son and allowed Walt to hold his love smoothly.
As for the social networking sites, crush on the goddess, finding the No. 25 negative, and adventure, it is a natural transition, and the connection between the front and the back is very strong.
(the scenery is too beautiful)
The line of work and love also overlaps, and it doesn’t look very comfortable. And feel at ease.
Personally feel that the screenwriting level of this film is very good.
The comedy factor of the comedy "Day Dreamer" is mainly reflected in the scenes related to the male protagonist’s distraction and fantasy.Especially the period where the male protagonist beats the bearded boss in the fantasy is particularly funny, and the two big adventures of the male protagonist that just walk away.
(Unexpectedly, this is actually a real shot)
I don’t think there is any awkward place to look at .
is fun, funny, funny, and not awkward. It should be a comedy that appeals to the public.
Watching such a relaxing movie, I feel so unconscious that it takes off.
Such an uncompressed comedy, it would be a shame not to recommend it.
