The film was made on a small budget but won the David Award for Best Film and Best Screenplay at the “Italian Oscars” and the Best Screenplay at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Most of the film’s plot is told over the dinner table, and the 90-minute story is told over dinner and conversation. On the night of the lunar eclipse, several dear friends drag each other’s significant others to meet, intending to spend a wonderful evening together. Three couples and another single fat man who couldn’t attend because his female fat friend had something to do, happily bullshitted in a cordial atmosphere. The hostess suggested that we play a game: everyone put their cell phones on the table, put them on speakerphone, read out the messages, and disclose all the messages.
As a psychiatrist, the hostess is really a social sister, she dares to play such a deadly game! But everyone, in order to prove their candor, have pulled out their phones and put them on the table. The first phone call that caused a conflict was from the hostess herself. Her father called to say that the breast enlargement doctor she was looking for had already made an appointment.
But the hostess’s own husband was a ready-made breast surgeon, so this call obviously upset the host. The couple had a lot of ideas to let the two doctors take care of one breast at a time, so that they could also PK each other’s breast enlargement skills. However, the couple’s hearts were still tied up in knots, and the hostess began to complain that the man had gone to psychotherapy without looking for himself.
The man wondered, looking for a psychiatrist only told the driver brother ah, the driver brother shrugged and said this thing only told his wife, the driver wife pointed to the fat man: I only told him, the fat man brother said I only told Xie Ding brother, Xie Ding brother said I also only told my wife, and finally her wife said: I told the mistress .
Everyone stopped talking and absentmindedly ate the food in front of them. At this point, the text messages of all the men in the room, except for the fat man, went off, reminding them not to miss the team’s game on the weekend. This text message meant that Fat Boy was quietly kicked off the team. The scene was awkward for a while. Fat Man and Xie Ding met up for a smoke on the balcony, and Xie Ding looked like he was having a hard time.
Shedding finally got up the courage to ask Fat Boy to swap cell phones with him because every night at 10pm he gets a good night photo from a girl. Although Fat Boy was single tonight, it was reasonable to help his brother out, but he was stumped and didn’t agree. Shedding brother took advantage of the crowd did not notice secretly changed the phone.
The first thing you need to do is to get a picture of the fruit on time and send it to Xie Ding’s cell phone, and everyone congratulated the fat man for having two female fat friends at the same time. But not long after, fat brother man’s cell phone also rang, Xie Ding brother answer the phone, the other side came from the man’s cry: “You do not love me anymore? The actual “I don’t love me anymore?”
The straight man of Xie Ding never thought that the fat man’s cell phone has this kind of operation, not so play ah! The wife of the top of Xie’s heart a million head of grass mud horse in the gallop, the driver suddenly remembered that once and Xie top of a bed, also immediately fried.
But let the driver brother more hairy things are still behind, his cell phone also died at this time rang. It was a callback from the mall’s customer service, asking if he was satisfied with the pair of earrings he had just bought. Then came the question, the driver’s wife did not receive the earrings. Where did the earrings go? That’s when the driver’s brother’s female colleague called to say she was pregnant. The driver’s wife ran to the toilet and threw up furiously.
But the hostess secretly pulled the driver into the bedroom and returned the earrings to him. The crazy game continues. Shedding Brother’s wife received a text message: Are you wearing underwear today? The couple argued, the wife cried and lifted the skirt: I just did not wear! What the fuck! You faggot! The story up to here is already a chicken feather. However, the camera turns to the bright moon in the sky. The partners at the end of the party hugged each other goodbye, as if nothing had just happened, so that life in the lie to return to peace.
After watching this movie, people can’t help but exclaim that this is not a comedy, but a love horror film. Not only the man’s phone can not withstand the check, the woman’s phone also can not withstand the check ah! Love is not so easy, everyone has his cell phone! No matter how many calls to play less cell phones and more company around you, whether you are willing to admit and accept or not, cell phones have indeed become an inseparable and important need of modern people. The cell phone as a carrier of everyone’s little secret, there are many immature other half happy to touch this taboo, to find those so-called other half of the cheating traces and how can it?
It is not the phone that is scary, nor the secrets in the phone. The problem is that your intimate relationship itself is problematic, but not to communicate and solve. The internal factors of the couple are the essence of the conflict, and the external factors like extramarital affairs only play a catalytic role. If a relationship can be easily ruined by a cell phone, then the relationship itself has little foundation. The world needs to be connected, and we need cell phones.
In addition to human prying eyes, have you ever wondered why so many people like to go through other people’s phones? Because – idle! The! Eggs! Pain! The biggest reason for the pain of idleness may be: your phone traffic is not enough! If there is traffic has been playing with the phone, it is clear that there is no time to look through other people’s phones.
