Впечатления о фильме Good Fortune с Киану Ривзом

Расшифровка аудио-подкаста: So this year we already watched a great film. What was it called? We watched a great film called Good Fortune. Good Fortune, yeah with Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves and one of my favorite funny men of the current crop, Seth Rogen. Yeah and so Keanu Reeves was, so his character was an angel. He was an angel who was down here his job was supposed to stop people from text driving and crashing and dying that was his job and he suddenly decides that he wants to have a better job and he goes a bit able to start doing something looking for lost souls to help yeah he got a pickle he got inspired by another angel who was gabriel yeah yeah yeah so he decided to do something more inspiring. And it just turned into a monstrous kerfuffle. Yes, so there are three main characters, yes, so Gabriel the angel, an Indian or Pakistani guy. That was a very funny scene. Why do you have to tell me I'm Indian every time that you meet me? what are you pakistani with a funny accent and then a wealthy guy yes the wealthy guy yeah who was seth rogan was played by seth rogan yeah yeah anyway you you called this film uh a christmas film yeah a new year film I don't know if it's a christmas or new year film it's not specifically christmas or new year but given the fact that we watched it at new year and it's a very it's a kind of feel good movie in lots of ways films in lots of ways because it's about loving your life um and you know feeling hopeless when there's always hope um and uh yeah that's why i think it was i think it was very appropriately certainly for us and for most people it's a very good new year film to watch because it's all about uh hope it's all about loving your life recognizing that your life isn't always perfect and things aren't always and there are always the grass may always seem greener on the other side and you know and i think this just goes and you go through this whole thing of them being hopeless sleeping in his car thinking what's the point and you get the woman in this film who talks about but i'm from down there i need to fight for my life and my life is worth fighting for even though like she's a shop floor she works in a supermarket and it shows how difficult ordinary life is you know some people have two or three jobs just trying to make ends meet and uh and yet we live in a world where there's some people who've got so much money they could probably be a country in their own right and i think well if we talk about ideal situations i think that uh i don't think people should be allowed to wear that amount of money it's ridiculous i mean it's just insane one of the reasons i liked this film because they kept using some phrases that we use in our ordinary life so there was a scene where they were eating tacos yeah yeah and uh so there was a phrase like oh you're a taco boy yeah Yeah, oh yeah, it was a burrito boy or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what else? There was something else? There was lots of phrases in it. I mean, the overall thing is that it's about life and that life is worth living whatever you go through. Life is about an experience, good, bad or indifferent. And I think that, you know, unless you're incarcerated or you've got something seriously wrong with you, even if you're having a bit of a hard time financially in this than the other, I just think that generally life is a lot of fun. Some of the happiest people that I've ever seen, the smiliest faces, were when I was in the Himalayas, when I was trekking in the Himalayas. There were families that had nothing. I mean, genuinely had nothing. Just like a little hut that they lived in and relied on. They would walk to school for miles up these bloody hills on the back of a goat or something. And they were just the happiest people I've ever seen. Sounds like a relief. Yeah. I guess because there's nothing to stress them out. Mm-hmm. Yeah, no obligations. That was where I discovered how they make popcorn.

They get the little corn from the corn on the cobs, and they lay them out on blankets or mats, like straw mats. the sun dries them out and then they turn in then you that's how they turn into popcorn kernels anyway so it's filmed uh last year 2025 yeah but could be watched anytime yeah yes look it's a movie you can watch anytime i just thought it was appropriate for the new year because it's ultimate message so we do recommend to watch it and share your favorite christmas and new year films yeah and i think also yeah we've got another one that we just finished watching that wasn't really a christmas and new year one but it was pretty good binge for 24 hours wasn't it yeah red eye you might need to have the itv for that
