Death at a Funeral (this play is best for your viewing conditions)

An English family, which has always been disharmonious, was reunited because of the death of their father. However, at the funeral of the old man, the two sons who were in mourning were thrown into chaos because a mysterious man threatened to expose the dirty secrets of the deceased. What kind of benefits does the mystery man want? What are the skeletons in my dead father's closet? At the funeral of the deceased who should have said goodbye devoutly, new misfortunes will follow. ......

What is the greatest significance of holding a funeral? It is to gather family and friends scattered all over the world together, and then mourn for a loved one together, hoping that his "beloved" will have dignity and style in the last journey of this world ... On the morning of Daniel's father's funeral, his family and friends came to the cemetery with their annoying anxieties, and Daniel also met the last person he wanted to see, his frivolous and boastful brother Robert, who just flew back from new york. In addition, Daniel's cousin Martha appeared in front of her family for the first time with her fiance Simon. She hopes Simon can make a good impression on her extremely conservative and snobbish father. However, her wishful thinking was finally upset because Simon accidentally took LSD. As a result, it is conceivable that he first talked nonsense uncontrollably, and finally stripped off his clothes in front of his future father-in-law.

Compared with the bigger "accident" after that, "Simon incident" can only be regarded as an episode representing the prologue. The sudden arrival of a mysterious visitor interrupted the orderly funeral. Before he died, he claimed that there was a shocking secret that could crush the belief of the deceased and threatened to expose it in front of everyone ... Now it seems that it is time for the two brothers, Daniel and Robert, who are at odds, to unite, because they should jointly keep this secret for this family and let the truth be buried with the deceased. I don't know if it has a joint effect. Under the threat of strangers, "accidents" began to emerge from all corners, and everyone attending the funeral was involved. It turns out that this big family came here with their own "secrets":

Daniel: The son of the deceased still lives in his parents' old house with his wife. Originally, Daniel was a promising and ambitious writer, but he didn't succeed in writing the same book for several years, because he was afraid of failure and even more afraid that he would live in the shadow of his talented brother forever. If he can successfully hold a funeral for his father, he vowed to say goodbye to his past self.

Robert: The son of the deceased, Daniel's brother. A successful writer is too narcissistic. He pretends to be a "celebrity", claiming that he "doesn't like to get too close to others" and leads a so-called rich and famous life in new york.

Peter: Mysterious uninvited guest. This uninvited guest brought a secret, which can subvert the whole funeral and the lives of the people present.

Martha: Daniel and Robert's cousin love Simon deeply. I hope he can make a good impression on his father at the funeral. However, Simon went crazy because of eating LSD by mistake, and finally not only stripped off his clothes, but also climbed onto the roof.

Simon: Martha's fiance, a young lawyer with great pressure and good judgment. What he experienced at the funeral will be the worst day of his life.

Troy: Martha's younger brother, a clever chemistry student, used his talent to create a powerful hallucinogen, which became a catalyst for Simon's incredible madness.

Howard: Daniel's friend, an extremely nervous hypochondriac, imagined that the person lying in the coffin was himself and died of a rash.

Justin: Howard's friend, he came to Martha's funeral. It turned out that two people had a one-night stand, but the impact on them was different. Martha thought it was a mistake, but Justin thought it was a godsend.

Jane: Daniel's wife is a very practical and lovely woman. She supports her husband's career unconditionally, but she also knows how to fight for what she wants. Her latest goal is her mother-in-law's big house.

Sandra: Daniel and Robert's mother, the wife of the deceased. She still seems to be a little unable to accept the reality, just trapping herself in memories.

Victor: Sandra's brother, Martha's father, a rich doctor. He thinks he is above anyone, especially all the boyfriends Martha has dated.

Uncle Alfie: The older generation in the family is eccentric and impatient. They were not as elegant and generous as they should be at his age, but he had a hunch that the funeral might not go well.

The above two books are British English with black humor.

1900 Danny Budman died when he was eight years old. When the ignorant 1900 was lost in front of Where are you going, he suddenly heard a beautiful and moving voice in the distance. He turned around and an Asian woman told him that it was music.

A few days later, 1900 sneaked into the restaurant at night and came to the boatman's daytime entertainment and the piano of other passengers to play his own improvisation. The singing woke up many passengers, who were curious to find out, but they were all intoxicated by this little guy's music like nature. It was not until the music stopped that the captain went up to him and said, "1900, you can't play the piano." This is completely against the regulations. " The young 1900 replied willfully: "Let all the rules disappear."

A few years later, 1900, an adult, became a pianist in the Virginia band. Although he has never disembarked, he has gained a good reputation. In a storm, he happened to meet seasick Max, and they hit it off immediately. From then on, Max became his lifelong confidant.

He hopes that 1900 can show his talents to the world, get recognition from the world, gain fame and fortune, and live a good life. But for 1900, the life the world yearns for is too far away to understand, so it has no attraction at all.

Even though playing the piano makes 1900 more famous than Jelly Roll Morto, the originator of jazz, the record publisher hopes to record it for him, so as to ensure that he is rich and famous, and his heart is still calm and satisfied with the happiness brought by life and music.

Wearing the coat that Max gave him, he slowly walked down the boat ladder. Go to one side, he looked at the big city of new york blankly, leng for a while. He suddenly picked up his hat and threw it into the distance, then turned back to the boat. He said to Max, I will never get off the boat again.

It was not until many years later, when the war ended, that Max, who had already left Virginia, unexpectedly discovered that the dilapidated Virginia was about to be blown up. He firmly believed that 1900 was on board, and after many twists and turns, he finally found him. But 1900 insisted on getting off the boat. The world is so vast that he is afraid of strangeness. This ship means everything to him. Max finally left sadly, watching the Virginia and 1900 in the distance smashed to pieces by bombs.

On that day, he told the music store owner 1900, who told him the legend of 1900, that he was dead, and the boss felt sorry for it, because he was embarrassed to return the trumpet that max bought to him, and told him that a good story was more valuable than an old trumpet. Max left with the story of 1900, only worth the old trumpet. Since then, few people will remember this talented pianist who never set foot on land and his legendary life.

The Shawshank Redemption

The story happened in 1947. Andy, a banker, was wrongly accused of shooting her and her lover because of her extramarital affairs. Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means he will spend the rest of his life in Shawshank prison.

Rhett 1927 was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, and his parole failed several times. He has now become an "authority figure" in Shawshank prison. As long as you can afford it, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, wine and even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner comes, everyone bets on who will cry on the first night. Rhett thinks Andy, who is fragile and bookish, will cry. As a result, Andy's silence made him lose two packs of cigarettes. But it also made Rhett sit up and take notice of him.

For a long time, Andy didn't contact anyone. When everyone was complaining, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Rhett to do for him was a small pickaxe. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and he said that he managed to escape the routine inspection in prison. Soon, Rhett played the chess carved by Andy. Later, Andy made a huge poster of rita hayworth and put it on the wall of his cell.

Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison guard talking about paying taxes. Andy said he had a way to get prison officials to legally exempt this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of asia pacific breweries for each of a dozen prisoners' friends. Drinking beer, Rhett said that he felt free for the first time in many years.

Because Andy is proficient in the knowledge of financial system, he quickly got rid of the heavy physical labor in prison and the harassment of other abnormal prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to deal with tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even asked him about his children's further education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for Shawnk warden Walden to launder money. Because Andy kept writing letters to the governor, he finally applied for a small sum of money for the prison library. Prison life is very dull, so you always have to find something to do by yourself. Andy heard that Ali used to like playing harmonica, so he bought him one. After the dead of night, you can hear the melodious and slight harmonica sound echoing in the prison.

The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's quiet prison life: the prisoner had heard about Andy's case while serving his sentence in another prison, and he knew who the real murderer was! But when Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was rebuffed and severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to design and kill the insider!

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed ... One day, he said to Rhett, "If you can get parole one day, you must go somewhere to realize a wish for me." That's where I first dated my wife. I dug a box under a big oak tree there. Then you know what it is. "That night, it was stormy and thunderous, and Andy, who was redeemed by his soul, successfully escaped from prison.

It turns out that Andy used that little pickaxe to dig holes every day for twenty years, and then covered the holes with posters. At the same time, because of his shrewd economic mind, the warden has been asking Andy to do black accounts and money laundering for him, and transfer the black money he earned and the cheap labor in the prison one by one. Andy put all the black money in the name of a man named Steven. In fact, this Steven is a fictional character of Andy. Andy made Steven all kinds of certificates, driver's license, ID card, and it was flawless. After Andy escaped from prison, he took part of the black money saved by the warden under Steven's pseudonym and lived a good life with this large sum of money. And denounced the truth of the warden's corruption and bribery. The warden saw a Bible that Andy left in the safe, and he put it in his little ledger. The title page reads: "Warden, you are right. Salvation is among them. " There is a pickaxe that is almost ground into a round head in the hollow part inside. At this time, the police were coming to the prison to arrest the warden, and finally the warden shot himself.

Rhett was released. He found a box of cash and a letter left by Andy under the oak tree. Finally, two old friends met again on the sunny beach in Ciudadaneo.

The above two outlooks on life are very powerful.
