在父亲去世后,鲍比(安东·尤金 Anton Yelchin 饰)觉得自己不会再快乐了,尤其是11岁生日那天,他那刻薄而又小气的母亲居然只给了他一张免费的图书卡作为礼物的那一刻。但自从那个名叫泰德(安东尼·霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰)房客出现在了他的生命中后,一切开始变得不同起来。
泰德租下了鲍比家的阁楼,整天躲在里面,不知道在捣鼓什么东西。他雇佣鲍比为他读报,报酬是一星期一美分。母亲告诫鲍比离这个奇怪的老头远一点,但鲍比并不当做一回事,因为在鲍比那里,他找到了久违的快乐和信任,泰德不仅让他得到了友情,还给予了鲍比一个人的成长中不可或缺的珍贵品质。
His name is “Geun-seong” (which means “perseverance” in Korean), but he lacks perseverance in his actions. Working as a medical device sales representative, he has never achieved even an average performance. He has no intention of making an effort and wants to become famous through internet live streaming to make a lot of money, just like everyone else. Also, he is a twisted individual who gets entangled in other people’s affairs. At a longawaited high school reunion, Geun-seong encounters Jong-man, who has become famous as a VJ, and he exposes the school violence he experienced, which gained him instant fame.
The movie follows Geun-seong’s journey of descent into wickedness, taking advantage of someone’s weakness. It portrays extreme selfishness in believing there is no problem as long as he can succeed, even if it means trampling over others. This extreme greed is not limited to Geun-seong. As a result of Geun-seong’s actions, including Jong-man’s career being jeopardized, everyone in the film is only concerned about themselves. What is happening to the world? Geun-seong adopts an attitude that he will do anything for fame to earn a large sum of money. The director focuses on Geun-seong’s face in extreme situations, without any sympathy or affection towards him. You might catch a glimpse of your own face there, and sense the tragedy of this era.
