It can be said that this movie is very suitable for those of us who have complex thinking abilities and naive fantasy habits to watch. Strictly speaking, this comedy that combines childishness and eccentricity should actually be classified as a dark humorous film.

In the plot of more than one hour and twenty minutes, what impressed me most personally were the following twenty-seven scenes:

Scene 1:

Purpose:

1. My ambition is to be an engineer and do a lot of projects every day. After get off work, I went to the supermarket and bought a large bottle of Coke, a pack of braised eggs, and a pack of ham, because. . . Price reduction.

2. My ambition is to be a fire captain. I put out many fires every day. After get off work, I eat a set meal with my team members Xiao Ming, Xiao Cao, and Sister Furong. There are shrimps and fish, and you can also choose a winter melon cup instead of the regular soup. But it costs an additional thirty yuan.

3. My dream is to be a principal. Every day, after collecting students’ tuition fees, I eat spicy hot pot today, pickled fish hot pot tomorrow, and pork bone hot pot the day after tomorrow. Teacher Chen praised me directly, "McDull, you have finally found the true meaning of life." . .

====The so-called hot pot is a variety of chowders, all eaten together. What is reflected here is the living conditions, which also refers to the living conditions of the upper-class "pillars of society" that have been highlighted many times in the movie.

When it comes to aspirations, that is a very distant thing.

What is a wish? Now let’s look into the reasons. It’s very complicated. If you think about it carefully, I feel that it is full of emotions, not just appreciation, but more of helplessness in the choice. , that is the helplessness of living in wealth and wealth.

In many cases, it is more accurate to say that it is our dreams that bind us forward rather than running forward chasing our dreams.

Thus, dreams are actually just thoughts that are privately thought about in dreams and have no real meaning.

Scenario 2:

The kidnappers kidnapped dozens of hostages from a company in a building. However, the first request was for an ordinary box lunch.

====Lunch boxes are a common part of working in the city, whether you like to eat them or not? Is fast food hygiene clean? Does it taste too salty or bland? Is there too much oil and water? . . . You still have to eat, and you have to eat every day. Not for anything else, just because it is short in time, economical, and can fill the stomach. This is very suitable for the work rhythm and consumption power of the grassroots class.

This is an essential lesson for grassroots life, whether you are a kidnapper, a policeman, or an office worker.

Scenario 3

What are social pillars and social masters?

The teacher repeatedly told the children that doctors, lawyers, and CEOs are the pillars of society.

When the teacher asked, "Ah Hui, what kind of pillar do you want to be in the future?", Ah Hui said: "[Cappuccino] bubble blower." The teacher was ashamed, but she still did it against her will. Said: "VERY GOOD"

However, McDull wanted to be an OL (office female white-collar worker) because he didn't have to wear pants; but when he knew that it was impossible for boys to become an OL, he changed his job to lifesaving. member because he had a pair of swimming trunks.

===The pillars of society also have obvious class differences. Why does the teacher focus on jobs such as doctors, lawyers, and CEOs? The reason is simple, because these professions make people look prosperous and successful. This is what we call successful people in our daily lives.

In the real world, what is career success? In essence, it is nothing more than a lot of gold. Only when you have a lot of money, you will be famous, and you will be recognized by people, and you will be recognized as a pillar if you are recognized by many people. This means that Dongliang’s approval requires the presence and approval of multiple people. Therefore, if you want to be a pillar, you must have a lot of money. Otherwise, just imagine, if you don't have money, no one will care about you even if you live in a busy city. If no one cares about you anymore, who will recognize you and recognize you? Don't even think about it.

If one day a leader personally says to you who is mediocre and incompetent, "You are the pillar of society, and your position is extremely glorious. Work hard and work overtime. This is what a pillar does." This is an honorable duty... After you finish your duty, I suggest you see a psychiatrist as soon as possible to see if you are going to suffer from mental oppression.

2 Thoughts after watching "Springfield Flowers Alumni Association" (Super Delicate)

Migrant workers should be regarded as the pillars of society, but their identities are still subject to BS. In addition to the hypocritical TV stations, there are a few people who really care about them. Do you think this career is successful? You see, parents who send their children to school often teach their children: "If you don't study hard, you will be like those migrant workers carrying big bags and doing labor." . . "It makes people tremble with fear~~

However, as an indispensable part of society, they are indeed the pillars of society, but they are the pillars of society at the lowest level. They can only support the pillars of the middle level. , and the middle-level pillars must support the upper-level pillars. Therefore, the pyramid-like hierarchy is born.

The idea that all living beings are equal is nonsense. Why can’t children in rural areas go to school? And the children in the city are over-nourished? The division of labor in the social structure does not allow for true equality. Why can the distinction between three, six, and nine be passed down to this day? It is the essence that has been baptized for thousands of years~~ No wonder. Are ancient people stupider than modern people? This logic obviously doesn't work.

Scene 4:

Excited graduates flooded into the streets and alleys. For the job of deboning chicken feet, his colleagues were actually many old ladies in their 70s and 80s. Some people chose to be chicken choppers in fast food restaurants, but because their profession was not suitable, they had to call their classmates for help on the spot. Although she is competing for a job, she likes the job of serving meals that has already been taken by others.

====The description of this scene is like the tuba playing in the background, a bit joking, but also self-deprecating. Helpless. Once upon a time, we all thought that there were many wonderful careers in the world to choose from, but in the end, all we worked hard for was a job that was unsatisfactory and provided us with food and clothing.

The reality is so cruel. , however, over time, we got used to it.

Scene 5:

McDull asked: Do I need to be castrated to be an OL?

AMYA: Of course.

McDull: Can you still get married after being castrated?

A MAY: No, you really want to get married?

McDull: Is there a wedding ceremony? Eat shark fins.

A MAY: If you want to eat shark fins, you should be a doctor. They eat shark fins every day." McDull: Will eating shark fins every day hurt your stomach?

A MAY: I’m afraid of hurting my stomach, so I’ll get a lobster or abalone for hot pot. . .

McDull: Eat hot pot? On point. . Do you need to be castrated to be a doctor or lawyer?

A MAY: Doctors and lawyers are responsible for castrating people.

====Yes, doctors and lawyers specialize in "castrating" other people, but who are they castrating? They can only be pillars of the lower class of society that are lower than them. This sentence is really amazing~~~

Scene 6:

More than two thousand students poured into a restaurant to eat hot pot, but they had to wait for a table one by one.

====In reality, there are many careers to choose from, and there are only so many available positions. There is no other way but to wait. I can only wait. And when it will happen, no one can predict. Reality is so unreasonable. Who says you are not a child of a family that is the pillar of society?

Scene 7:

A waiter carries three fresh big fish heads and walks around sell.

In the meantime, you have to smile and remind yourself to devote yourself to it. However, you still have to hit a wall here and there. In the end, he could only reluctantly end up at a table with drunken pillars of society.

====Once college students enter the society, there is no way out for such cheap goods except to sell themselves in advance and with a smile every day. . In this situation, rather than looking for a job, it would be more appropriate to say that it is selling oneself at a low price. However, apart from our poor brains and a few mediocre skills, we are worthless. It’s not about making yourself worthless, but letting the recruiter suppress you into being worthless.

Scene 8

At the wine table, a group of middle- and upper-class pillars of society - lawyers exposed their breasts in front of the hall, in an indecent, dizzy and incoherent manner. Have fun and have fun. I couldn't even understand what I was saying when ordering the order. However, it was the review that the order writer had no idea about, but it won their unanimous favor.

====No matter how vague and incoherent the pillars of society are, there will always be people who flatter them. In newspapers and magazines, there is always no shortage of flattering people describing them in a decent and beautifying way. In the media, they are always portrayed as flawless. This is the advantage of the pillars of the middle and upper class society. Has anyone seen magazines and newspapers publicizing and reviewing the words of migrant workers as holy orders and famous quotes? No? Because you are not a successful pillar of society. At this time, you can also understand that a pillar is a beam with holes.

Scene 9:

A successful chef with several gleaming brands invited two beauties to accompany him to eat. He wanted to express the true meaning of delicious food, but because his stomach was empty, he could only I can repeat a jerky and vulgar sentence over and over again: dip it in some soy sauce, you can’t eat it anywhere else. . . In order to eat, the two beauties could only shout exaggeratedly: "Does it taste good?"

3 Thoughts after watching "Springfield Flowers Alumni Association" (Super Delicate)

====There are many flashy idiots among the pillars of society. , because of his wealth, he always shines in front of others. No wonder the ancients said that money can make people go around, not to mention the shiny golden sign on the chest that "scares" people? Look around us, this phenomenon is very common. It's hard to imagine that those people who can't even pronounce the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet can get an authentic master's degree diploma. Besides money, it’s still money. We have to accept this principle.

What is even more ironic is that these two beauties, who are close to the idiot chef and look like mistresses, only need to repeatedly shout and agree to get the idiot chef's favor. It seems that any girl with some good looks and the ability to brazenly make loud noises can become a guest dining with the pillars of society. This has nothing to do with academic qualifications, talent, or background. It has nothing to do with face. The rich are the uncles, and the poor are the grandsons. Let’s review this principle again.

Scene 10:

The idiot chef collapsed because he stretched too much and blocked his esophagus. When he fell to the ground, the beautiful woman accompanying him was helpless. After the order writer agreed, he coldly shouted "pay the bill". With this first move, the location problem of more than 2,000 diners was immediately solved.

====No matter how prosperous you have been, when you fall, those who promised you in the past can be indifferent and care about your life or death. The ancients said: "I am noble and people worship me, and I worship this Eguan Dadai." This is the truth. Ironically, it was the fallen man who occupied more than 2,000 seats. Finally, we knew how much the man who occupied the latrine and did not shit deserved. However, this phenomenon abounds.

Scene 11

While being rushed to the hospital, the idiot chef fell unconscious and vomited out the food in his stomach in various ways.

However, while the attending doctors and medical staff were slowly discussing treatment solutions, they also did not forget to discuss with great interest how to eat the food that the poor chef had eaten.

====In addition to eunuchs, doctors are also eager to support all the delicious resources in society like idiot chefs. However, they will not be reckless and insist on it, but will be polite. One thing, think about how to make it before you say anything, just like they privately collect red envelopes from patients, they are more technical and lethal than the brainless chefs.

Not everyone has the ability to endure the big hot pot that is society. The more you eat, the more you will vomit. No wonder there are always people muttering all day long: Just give it up when it’s good.

Therefore, McDull finally chose to be an OL, even though the OL had to be castrated. But there is a qualitative difference between actively accepting castration and passively accepting castration. This is how society is. If you want to integrate into society, you must be mentally prepared to be castrated. Either be castrated by someone else, or castrate yourself.

Scene 12

McDull’s happy understanding of the OL: “You don’t have to be tied up by your belt, and you don’t have to fight with others. At noon, you can just go and have a lunch. Barbecued pork rice is good. Ah, add a salted egg, it’s simple and economical; I’ll go out for a meal in the evening and buy a bag. It’s just enough to put everything in it. It’s so free. One day. "

=====The happiness of the grassroots is simple. The ancients said: "Those who are content will make quinoa soup as good as plaster, cloth robes will be warmer than foxes and martens, and the people will not let the princes down. ”

It is worth mentioning that the realistic nature of the inserted song is very interesting, and it is also a portrayal of our daily work. "Didi-da-da-da" is in my heart, swinging my bag on the bus to go to work, swinging and swinging to get off work, swinging my bag like the wind. I keep swinging it, and it doesn't feel bad. After swinging it on the left, I swing it on the right. Dump it, hey, you got off work, Dump it, it made the hem of my skirt seem to be blowing in the wind. At five o'clock, small bags were thrown into my big bag, and the elevator communicated, one to five. I feel relaxed at this time. It feels good to swing it from left to right. The big company has a big sale now. ”

Scene Thirteen

A staff member uses the high-heated CPU of a computer to cook delicious eggs.

===The idea is very creative. As we all know, the CPU of a computer will generate extremely high heat only when it is running at high speed. However, the CPU can only run at high speed when other parts of the computer are working at high speed. In fact, this computer is just like the brain that runs at high speed during our daily work. We must work exhaustingly every day in order to have enough food and clothing.

Scene 14

In the company, the finance department clamps the head of the marketing department between them, and they fight to the death. You come and I go back and forth, never stopping, until the opponent announces his withdrawal. .

====In fact, we often see this kind of scene in the work unit, and it is very common for leaders to fight openly and secretly. It's just that the director exaggerated this situation in a behavioral form. Even so, this hilarious scene is still shocking to watch. However, the director added this sentence to hint that the way to make them honest is actually very simple, which is to reconcile accounts. Alas~~No wonder there is such a truth circulating now, "Who is cleaner than whom?"

4 Thoughts after watching "Springfield Blossoms Classmates" (Super Delicate)

Scene Fifteen

OL MY dated with her male classmate at the "Folk Song Restaurant". The music in the restaurant is not only based on folk songs, but the menu also features the names of folk singers. Whenever a singer finishes singing or a customer orders a meal, the waiter never forgets to shout out the slogan professionally: "Thank you for supporting folk music"

====It's really funny to use dishes to poke fun at the late singer. Somewhat disturbing.

But what is even more saddening is the decline of folk song culture that stems from true feelings. now. There are fewer and fewer songs that come from the heart that ring in our ears, and they are replaced by songs that are full of false feelings and misery. However, the main contributors to the creation of this consumer market are those businessmen who are eager for quick success and instant profit. Of course, there are also us who are ignorant, empty and brainless.

Scene 16

The company supervisor was slobbering incoherently and unintelligibly at the meeting. However, this leader is still very proud and arrogant.

====This situation is very realistic. I finally figured out why sleep bugs always thrive so much when we are in meetings? It turns out that the gushing saliva is moisturizing it.

Scene 17

An art worker playing the trumpet looked hurriedly rushing to buy takeout and rush to rehearsal.

At the rehearsal scene, this person calmly took advantage of the break between musical instruments and performances, and ate his lunch box with relish.

====After working for a long time and being in the society for a long time, people inevitably become cunning, and it is common to play tricks at work. However, all this is just to make my lunch more delicious. From this perspective, this is all understandable.

Scene 18

Yong Si insisted that she was a top student who graduated from the Barbecue Department and was reduced to a job of cutting chickens. She complained repeatedly that the boss did not give her the opportunity to serve as a rice cooker, and she felt depressed. . The boss took her into the barbecue room and spoke in a profound way about his work ideas when he was young.

==== Just entering society, everyone has a standard expected value every day, but very few people can achieve it. However, even if it is achieved, repeating the same tedious and boring work every day will tire the mind and wear away the spirit, and the original enthusiasm will be gone forever. In this society, work is just a tool for making ends meet. After a long time, there is no longer any say whether you love it or not. Anyway, you have to eat, and you have to work like this, so just mess around.

In this scene, the director uses Yongsi's innocent mind to remind the boss that when work is sluggish, he should return to the starting point of his interest and regain his passion for work by changing the fixed mindset of conformity. It's easy to say, but all enthusiasm has a shelf life, it doesn't matter whether it's new or old.

Scene 19

A MAY and her male colleague buy a digital keyboard. The salesperson is kind and low-key, eloquent, dedicated to sales, and very dedicated. Finally, he also gave some warm and humorous suggestions according to the customer's life situation in a timely manner, which was very humane.

==== "There will be discounts if you look at it, and you will get discounts if you don't look at it. The discount is mainly to your satisfaction." It is really not easy to make a living. After watching this scene, I finally understood - "There are no bad products, only bad salesmen." I also realized on a deeper level that there is an essential difference between "doing your duty" and "doing your duty".

Scene 20

McDull: Once I went to eat KFC with my mother. As soon as the chicken was served, I took the chicken without gloves. My mother immediately taught me a lesson, you stinky Boy, take the chicken without washing it? As I ate, my whole body felt itchy, and then I used this hand to scratch here and there, and then I went to grab the chicken again. After eating for a while, I felt the urge to urinate again. After catching the chicken, he went to catch the "truth", and after catching the "truth" he went to catch the chicken again. As a result, I cried to my mother the next day and said that my "truth" hurt so much and there were so many red spots. Mom said, of course, you stinky boy grabbed the "truth" without washing your hands after catching the chicken, and you cried again when I applied ointment to you.

I just cried and yelled, it hurts so much, my "truth" hurts so much, who can pity your "truth" at this moment. . . ”

A MAY: I don’t think you are referring to the true meaning.

McDull: Huh? I only have one true meaning...

====Every There is only one way of life, but only you know the ups and downs. However, when you feel pain and cry, you are the one who really feels sorry for yourself.

Scene 21

The radio program "Sexy Men and Women" invited health and nutrition experts and well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctors to discuss the situation of urban people pooping "sheep shit beans" .

Nutrition experts point out that people who suffer from "sheep poop beans" are those who eat randomly, and there is no cure. If it is not something, then let it be. , it’s not a big deal. . .

==== Sub-health conditions are very common among urbanites. As the director pointed out, there is no complete cure because these diseases are caused by the fast-paced and high-intensity work life in the city. . Unless this social status quo is completely overturned, there will be no practical change. But is this possible? Impossible, so I say "If it's not something, let it be, it's not a big deal..." No one's body is completely healthy, including the nutritionist.

5 Thoughts after watching "Springfield Flowers Class Reunion" (Super Delicate)

Scene Twenty-Two

A company marketing director who was in a daze and claimed to have a brain injury accidentally broke into the interview recording room of the radio station. The smart radio host immediately changed the topic of "sheep shit beans" to the topic of "water in the head".

Radio host: How did you get water in your head?

Marketing Department Director: Head. . . Being in a trance all day

Radio host: Is it what we usually call dull?

Marketing Department Director: Probably not. It should be fine for me to think and do things. It's a memory issue. . . What happened five minutes ago was instantly forgotten.

Radio host: Do you still remember where you came from just now?

Marketing Department Director: I don’t remember.

Radio host: So high stakes. . . . Then do you still remember which way to go home?

Marketing Department Director: Yes. . . . Can't remember.

Radio host: Professor. . . His problem seemed serious.

Nutrition expert: Do you often have your head clamped hard with the muscles on both sides of your thighs?

The head of the marketing department smiled: I don’t know if that’s possible

Radio host: I have a question for you. It’s really strange. You don’t have the ability to remember. How do you live your daily life?

Marketing Director: It’s all the same, get up, get dressed, and go to work

Radio Host: How to get there

Marketing Director: Of course, take the subway

Radio host: How do you know where to get off at?

Marketing Department Director: I don’t know. I got off when I was almost seated. I walked around and looked around. When I saw others getting off, I got off too.

Radio host: Oh, where to go next?

Marketing Department Director: Hmm. . . have no idea. The company is usually in a commercial building. You can just walk into an elevator and press a button. . .

Radio host: What do you do when you get to the company?

Marketing Department Director: Hmm. . . I don’t know either. Anyway, just find a door and go in. After entering, if no one hums, find a seat and sit down to work.

Radio host: Do you know how to do those jobs?

Marketing Department Manager: No, just ask, but they don’t know how, anyway, they just call casually After a few phone calls and talking nonsense, it was lunch time.

Radio host: Do you remember lunch?

Marketing Department Director: Don’t remember it. Don’t remember it if you’re hungry. . . . . .

After lunch, I will work with others

Radio host: What about after get off work?

Marketing Department Director: Have a drink and then go home

Radio Host: Then how do you remember where your home is?

Marketing Department Director: I don’t remember, it’s just a garden. . . What a grand palace, I pressed a few passwords at random. Dudududu went in. .

Radio host: How do you know that house is not someone else’s?

Marketing Department Director: What is it that others don’t have? Each room was bought with a loan. Anyway, once you get in, the dog won't bark and you'll be on your own. Then take a shower and eat something. Then watch TV for a while, and finally be with my wife. . . Go to bed and sleep.

Radio host: But how do you know if this wife is your wife?

Marketing Department Manager: I asked her before I went to bed. I asked, wife, are you someone else’s wife? How do you think she answered me?

Radio host: How to answer.

Marketing Department Director: She said, husband, the only one I love is you. If I choose 10,000 times, it will be 10,000 times. . . I choose you. . . . . . .

====== There are many cases of water in the head. The only difference is that some people have their heads clamped hard by their bosses using the muscles on both sides of their thighs, while others have their heads clamped by their colleagues using their thighs. The muscles clamp the head hard. Therefore, our brains have also created the same herd mentality - only obeying the leader's orders. One advantage of having water in your head is that you can keep your job and earn a living.

Every day, we go to work like insensitive puppets, without any will or unwillingness. Getting up early, getting dressed, taking the bus, eating fast food, and returning home from get off work have evolved from my conscious state into my unconscious state. It's really sad and pathetic. But there is an advantage to this, that is, you can keep your job and earn a living.

Work is like a slave, and the house is like a tenant. These realities cannot be changed by grassroots people. But fortunately, the wife is still theirs, and it will still be theirs if they choose it ten thousand times. . . . . . In the scene, there are no scenes of life and death, and there is no need for sentimental crying. It is this simple and humane speech that makes people moved.

Grassroots love is very simple and easy to satisfy.

When she was moved, the background music played again. Kelly Chen, who had become an OL, looked at the college students who had just graduated and were looking for jobs walking around in the street with a solemn expression. As that song goes. "I was tired from shopping, so I went into the store to have a bowl of beef noodles. The store owner pushed a bowl over with a smile. He said he remembered me as an old classmate. After not walking far, my feet were tired. I went into the store to have an aromatherapy foot bath. The technician stared at me strangely. Look at me, remember that I was an old classmate. That spring flowers were blooming all over the fields, and we went to school together."

6 "Springfield Flowers Classmates" "Hui" After Viewing (Super Delicate)

The changes in the world make people grow old, things are the same and people are not the same.

Scene 23

There is a captain in the harbor. He introduced himself: "I am a captain. What I sail may be the shortest voyage in the world. My boat goes from the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter to the Seafood Boat, and then from the Seafood Boat to the other side of the Typhoon Shelter. That's it. It takes only 5 minutes to go back and forth, picking up and dropping off tourists on both sides. Of course, the people who get on this boat are not necessarily tourists going to the seafood boat, but more of the residents who live in the area and take the free boat. Some people go to school, some transport goods, and some swim. Strictly speaking, this ship is responsible for transporting passengers, but who in this world is not a tourist? I heard this in kindergarten, and now I understand it even more deeply. .

Therefore, I will not refuse anyone who comes on board and will send them to their destination. . .

====Yes, who in this world is not a tourist? However, it is difficult, really difficult, for people to put aside utilitarianism and treat all kinds of people around them with a selfless and objective attitude. Although everyone knows it, knows it in their hearts, and has known it since childhood, it is still very, very difficult. . . This may be the weakness and sorrow of adults. . .

Scene 24

The selfless captain's ship sank for no reason. The captain and the passengers drifted to a desert island together. When his mobile phone was damaged, he had to Resign yourself to your fate and wait for help from others. But after waiting for a week, no one came to help. When everyone was as hungry as wolves and wanted to eat raw human flesh, the selfless captain stepped forward and reluctantly had his butt meat cut off for everyone to eat.

Just when everyone was about to eat the cooked meat, the lifeboat arrived and everyone just ran away. . .

=====Yes, in an environment of calm seas, coconut palm trees, clear water, fine sand, and sunny wind, this selfless ship sank no matter how hard it was said, but some people think that it will sink. It sank so easily. Besides, how can there be a desert island in a city? But it exists. Otherwise, why would no one find out, or even take the trouble to find out, the people in distress who have been helpless for so many days? It was expected and affectionate~~

In fact, the captain was also afraid of pain and did not expect that cutting his buttocks would be so painful. However, his selfless sense of mission still urged him to cut his buttocks. Help others. But the reality is so ruthless. When the passengers had no intention of being saved, they completely ignored the captain's fearless sacrifice. In a world where conscience can be sold on a pound, the selflessness of enduring pain and sacrifice is just a package of roasted meat, worthless. In the end, there was nothing more than a comforting compliment about being a “good guy.”

In this regard, we should not blame the changing world, because the captain is just a humble grassroots, not a great man or a celebrity. . .

When the captain walked to the street carrying his piece of roasted butt meat that had been selflessly sacrificed, the previously stalwart figure suddenly became indifferent and desolate.

It is really ignorant children, but it is aimed at those people who are childlike and love life but are mediocre and inactive.
