As an architect, Michael Newman (adam sandler) is a middle-aged man with a successful career and a happy family. A beautiful and virtuous wife (kate beckinsale) and two lovely children make him the best among his peers. However, like many male owners of middle-class families in America, Mike's biggest problem is that he is busy working for everything at home. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to get along with my wife and children. I really enjoy my family life. On this day, Michael, who seldom rests at home, can't find the TV remote control at home. So, he ran to a nearby bath shop and wanted to buy a multi-function remote controller, which can control both TV and stereo. Morty (christopher walken), the owner of the bath shop, recommended him to buy a full-function remote control that can control many things. When Michael bought it home, he found that the remote controller recommended by Morty had more magical functions, not only controlling some household appliances, but also controlling time and space. With this remote control, he can "fast forward", "play back" or even "stop" his own time at will, which means he can control the time freely. When he is at work, he can "fast forward" and go home to reunite with his family immediately. When he does something wrong, he can "play back" and let himself go back to the past and start over. With this "universal remote control", Michael's life seems to be very comfortable and comfortable. However, good times are always short-lived. Gradually, the intelligent chip that can change the fate inside the remote controller began to work, and then controlled the owner's life, and Michael's life became more and more chaotic.
Just as Michael is getting crazier and crazier, because of the function of the remote control, whenever there is a traffic jam or quarrel, he will automatically jump over. By the time he jumps to become president, it will be 20 17, and life will be different! Because of his emphasis on work, his wife had a new love, and even when his father died, he didn't see him, and all this was because of work!
And the scene of his last meeting with his father is heartbreaking! His father bought a magic coin in the magic shop to amuse him. In order not to make his father sad, he never exposed him. Now his father once again said: If you celebrate with me and your grandson, I will give you another performance! But he was upset at the moment and exposed it mercilessly. His father paused and said, "I knew it? ! I love you, son. " He walked out with tears in his eyes
He met his mother and ex-wife at his son's wedding. Suddenly, I heard my daughter call her father to her opponent Bill, and he fell down. When he was in hospital bed, he heard from his son that he was giving up his honeymoon trip because of his career. After his son left, he struggled to get rid of the equipment, and finally caught up with him before his son left and told him to put family first. He can't explain it to others.
Who knows, he met the angel of death, Morty, who gave him a chance to turn over a new leaf and let the time go back to the time before he met the remote control. So, he got rid of his previous problems, put family first, visited his parents well, did a lot of things for his family, and received a blessing letter from Morty. Everything is fine! [Edit this paragraph] Making a movie behind the scenes is a big "copy" of the world.
In today's Hollywood, where sequels, adaptations and remakes are popular, the prevalence of "plagiarism" also has its roots: "copying" well is for reference; "Plagiarism" is not good, and no one scolds you ... After all, Hollywood is in a saturated era of lack of inspiration. Which movie has not seen other works? The right depends on whether the cover-up is clever or not-this is the unspoken rule by default in the film industry, and even the owner doesn't care if he eats this dumb loss.
So, when you come across a story arrangement as familiar as a magic remote control, when this story touches a certain point in your memory for no reason, it's actually no big deal, but when the protagonists of two movies with similar plots are two heavyweight comedy stars in the film industry, there are many places to compare, and it's hard not to make people think. As you can guess, the film is more than 50% similar to the box office myth All-round Bruce in 2003, but it is still unknown whether the Magic Remote Control can stand out in this summer's summer file with extremely intensive action and sci-fi production.
Adam sandler VS Jin Kairui
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that adam sandler and Jim Carrey are the leading figures in comedy, their box office appeal should not be underestimated. In fact, Sandler and Kerry take two completely opposite funny routes. An introverted and a little silly, he doesn't look for "jokes" in appearance, and he always has short hair and an oval head; But there is one kind, rich in expression and unique in shape, which has established a distinctive style and is imitated by later generations.
In "Magic Remote Control", Sandler continues his image of a good man as always: a model husband who is not philandering; A good father who is responsive to children; A right-hand man who can reassure the boss-however, when everyone wants to do it well, he can't do anything well. No, he is in trouble. Because he can't arrange his time reasonably, he makes people around him complain ... Too much preparation makes the beginning part inevitably drag on, but this is exactly what Sandler has always done. His joy is not as direct as Kerry's, but penetrates into the audience's cerebral cortex bit by bit.
As for Jim Carrey, he is not so "honest". From the beginning, the "false god" made an article with his rubber mask-like face, which can be twisted into anything you can imagine. His performance in the film is very neat, either to amuse you at once or to be unhappy at all ... I still remember that his role started with an impressive series of lying in bed-tasting bitterness from laughter. Jim Carrey vividly reflects the sadness of the little people in a direct way, which can not only cope with the funny performance, but also grasp the plot that goes deep into the soul.
Kate beckinsale VS Jennifer Aniston
As long as both of them do their duty to make a "vase", everything will be fine. But as far as pleasing to the eye is concerned, it is obvious that kate beckinsale is better. What's more, in the film, Jennifer Aniston is just Jim Carrey's cohabiting girlfriend, so it's a big deal to move a bag and leave. Beckinsale is the mother of two children in adam sandler, and family factors are also one of the focuses of the film, so there are relatively more places for this role to explore.
Remote control VS god
It's hard to say which of these two illusory things is more "practical": Although the "Hand of God" is omnipotent, Jim Carrey only used it to do some trivial things such as "letting the dog pee outside", "bringing the moon closer to create a romantic atmosphere" and "a gust of wind blowing up a woman's skirt", which perfectly portrayed the symbolic shortsightedness, laziness and carelessness of the little people.
Although the "magic remote control" can only control the life of the holder, it can affect the environment in which the protagonist participates: its fantasy color is based on "facts", that is to say, only the life that the protagonist has experienced or is experiencing will work, and fast-forward, backward and playback are all the details of life-although this practice is not only lacking imagination, but also losing a lot of fun, it is in line with what adam sandler has always done. Or "repeat" the hot girl who passed by twice had an eye addiction; Otherwise, all the boring work will be "deleted" ... Of course, the reckless and arbitrary use of "divine power" will often be countered by this power, which will eventually make his life more chaotic, and adam sandler, like Jim Carrey, will get "enlightenment" from christopher walken before the end of the play and re-understand the true meaning of "orderly" life. So strictly speaking, there is not much difference between "remote control" and "God", but the carrier used is different.
In "False Gods", Morgan Freeman's black version of "God", although not many scenes, is a bright person who adds a lot of color to the whole film. Of course, there is no lack of this role of "creating magical power" in The Magic Remote Control, that is, christopher walken, the owner of an eccentric store, also sold the remote control to Sandler. His style in the film is obviously much more exaggerated than Freeman's, with straight hair and strange glasses. He is the kind of character who knows a little crazy at first sight.
See your old partner again.
Another coincidence seems to be arranged: The False God is the third collaboration between directors tom Shadyac and Jim Carrey after Detective Head and Ace Liar. Adam sandler and Frank Coraci, the director of this film, have worked together twice before: Wedding Singer and Tea Boy. Corlacy and Sandler are old buddies who have been mixed up since they graduated from school. Needless to say, there is a tacit understanding between them. In addition, Clarice is a powerful filmmaker trained by Sandler's production company Happy Madison. Although he once directed the horror film Around the World in Eighty Days, Sandler "handpicked" him as the director of his two consecutive works eight years ago, which is of course the result of their years of friendship and interaction, but the most important thing is that Clancy has that ability.
Clancy likes to describe Sandler as his brother: "Adam is sometimes an elder brother, and sometimes he becomes a younger brother. Friends, it is important to keep in touch with each other, think what you think and do what you do. After two pleasant cooperation experiences, we have been looking for a third chance. Everyone will lament the lost time. When you bury yourself in your memory, you will find it full of regrets. " The magic remote control gives you a chance to "start over". It will let you know that if you always go back to the past time, life will never move forward-this is the result of the interaction between personal behavior and soul. You can't forget the past, but you can't be too addicted. "
In addition, adam sandler has a small defect of "nepotism", and this film is no exception. Except for a few main characters, they are all familiar faces: sean astin, Allen Covert, rob schneider, Blake Clark and Steve Buscemi, who played Drew Barrymore's brother who only likes fitness in "50 First Loves"-what's more, there are super guest appearances in Sandler's famous movies.
Starring lineup
After experiencing such "adventures" as Fifty First Loves and The Longest Yard, adam sandler is no longer a water boy "A Dai" under the strict discipline of his mother, but has become a "high comedy star" in Hollywood. His simple and honest appearance, funny movements and profound humorous language skills have successfully established his own unique style in the Hollywood comedy world, and in recent years, he has quickly become the engine of rising movie box office. Its appeal among fans is increasing year by year. This "fresh" appearance will definitely receive extraordinary results again. In addition, kate beckinsale, the British "American" who turned a sparrow into a phoenix because of her big production of Pearl Harbor, has greatly improved her international popularity while constantly trying various roles in recent years. From the vampire killer except the witch in Van Helsing to the veteran actress ava gardner in Flying Tycoon, there are many changes, but the most amazing one is the beautiful vampire in Legend of the Night. [Edit this paragraph] Wonderful tidbits Although there was no such guy as Spider Bat on the scene this year, it also attracted a group of "mutants" and "underpants" boys who had not seen for many years to spend the summer vacation. With the support of these heroes in strange clothes, Americans have lost a lot of interest in missile crisis, alien invasion, luxury cruise ship rolling in the ocean or flight 93. As a result, Hollywood screenwriters have to start with ordinary life: nagging wives, demanding bosses, and incessant children, which are more or less the pain in every adult man's heart. When people are oppressed for longer, their inner desire for control will expand infinitely, and they will do something beyond common sense. In ancient China, a legendary woman cried down a section of the Great Wall. In foreign countries, there are countless serial killers without blinking an eye. Therefore, the screenwriter who racked his brains gave the hero Michael a simple and healthy method-"universal remote control" when he was going crazy. However, the screenwriter is not so kind as to let the old people live a good life. Look at those people in Hollywood history who suddenly acquired super powers. Although they have become omnipotent, the result is not good. Spider-Man robbed his beloved uncle and couldn't be honest about his love.
Director Frank Clancy is only seven months older than adam sandler, but he plays Sandler's father in their second film "Dull Progress".
Adam sandler is a die-hard fan of the new york Yankees baseball team, and he always tries his best to mention this in his movies. Whenever the Yankees have a game, he will suddenly find a quiet place to watch the game "out of thin air" ... The shooting of Magic Remote Control was interrupted several times. [Edit this paragraph] Wonderful dialogue Morty: You want a universal remote control. That remote control controls your world.
Morty: You want to find a remote control that can control all household appliances? Here you go. It can control your life.
Michael Newman: You asked me to do those documents; It will take me months.
Michael Newman: The work you asked me to take over will take me several months.
An Mo: (smugly) Then you'd better start.
Ai Mo (smug): I think you'd better start at once.
An Mo: (stops smiling) Wow ... I have a terrible headache. Am I hit by a train or something?
[Michael pauses, punches Ai Mo hard on the head, and then cancels the pause. ]
Ai Mo (with a blank face): Oh, I have a terrible headache. Did you see something hit me?
Michael Newman: [looking around] I don't see anything.
Michael Newman: [looking around] I didn't see it!
