When I watched the film, I learned that the song "Dirty Paws", which was already familiar and was called Icelandic tourism promotion, was the theme song of the film.
The male protagonist of the film, Walter, is a daydreaming LIFE "Life" magazine negatives asset management director, decent, rigorous life in his world,
The film begins with a pension fund, a dating site's daily expenses record, because another divorced female colleague who has a crush on the magazine has applied for the same dating site as the female colleague (the site has a personal introduction, personal interests, etc., the heroine likes to be adventurous, full of enthusiastic objects), likes or wants to date someone to give each other a click to blink (interesting)
And the male protagonist often enters a certain "out of mind" state, and then fantasizes that he has done some incredible things, for example, when he sees the heroine of the crush in the company, he does not dare to talk to her, just looks at her from a distance, and then according to some records of the heroine in the dating website, begin to daydream about the scene of the heroine,
But the real work, in fact, they are not as legendary as imagined, the traditional media in the face of the impact of new media, the company is facing layoffs, temporary bosses come to the new company, planning the last issue of the magazine, people are living in the changes of the real survival company, the male protagonist often lives in his dream world...
And the photo negative to be used in the last issue of the magazine, the 25th negative sent by the adventure photographer Shane, is missing.
So Walter decided to go and find the photographer himself.
In order to find the photographer and find the No. 25 negative, the male protagonist plucked up the courage to take the initiative to talk to the female protagonist and seek help, the female protagonist helped him find clues from the photos sent by the photographer, so the male protagonist went to look for the photographer who was uncertain, found the No. 25 negative, and an incredible adventure began...
First of all, we came to Greenland, where the sea vessel appeared in the photographer's photo, where I met a big man who drank and flew a plane. Drink beer cups, don't go out and don't know what the world has, drunk driving airplanes,
Then the plane gave the ship in the sea a radio package, jumped off the plane directly to deliver, the male owner jumped on the wrong boat, was intimately touched by sharks...
On the boat to learn that the photographer Shane has left, saw the photographer's itinerary on a cake package, the next day to go to Iceland to shoot the volcano, and then to the next location, so the male protagonist chased to Iceland...
In the movie, the male protagonist went to the town on skateboarding in Iceland to pursue the photographer who wanted to shoot the volcano, which is a classic clip that travel enthusiasts like, tying the stone to the palm of the palm of two palms as an auxiliary to the ground turn during roller skating.
Met the photographer who flew overhead, missed the encounter with him, and also caught up with a volcanic eruption, and was rescued by the locals,
Because he did not catch up with the wild photographer and returned to the company, at this time the company fired him because he did not find the No. 25 negative, and his crushed female colleague was also fired, he brought back the skateboard that the heroine's son liked, wanted to comfort the heroine, but found that the heroine and her husband had resumed their relationship and left...
When he returned home to tell his mother that he was unemployed, that his mother had sold the piano, he found that one of the photo negatives sent by the photographer was his own piano, so he asked his mother, and his mother told him that the photographer had come to his home, and he did not listen to his mother's conversation at that time, and he was wandering in the day, knowing the photographer's next destination from his family, and at the same time losing the wallet gift that the unruly photographer gave him...
So the man took the travel log given to him by his father and set off to pursue the photographer, this time to the Himalayas.
In the Himalayas, I found the photographer Shane, who was filming snow leopards, so there was a shot and language that the film called God's Work:
After the moment of the snow leopard passed, the photographer threw himself into the crowd of people playing football in front of him, playing with them, and from the photographer Shane, the male protagonist knew that the negative No. 25 was placed in the wallet given to him by the photographer, and he threw it...
After returning to the company, his mother told him that his mother helped him pick up his things, and the wallet helped him keep it, so although the male protagonist has been fired, he still gave the No. 25 negative to the company, here you can see the process of firing the big company to take money, the professionalism of the male owner, even if he is fired, but also to complete his career tasks, because he and the female colleague are engaged in sticking to this profession because of the company's beliefs and dreams...
At the end of the film, the male protagonist because of this adventurous journey to find the negative, let him have greatly increased confidence and ability, he met the female protagonist on the day of the dismissal of the company, the female protagonist's child sent him a video because of the skateboard he sent, they began because of this topic, lifted the previous misunderstanding,
He found the dedication of the photo, the process of adventure also made the heroine feel good about him, when he saw the photographer's No. 25 negative is the person in charge of the magazine photo negative, serious and dedicated photo, although the job is unemployed, but because of the dedicated attitude, with the photographer's friendship, the male protagonist also found his love.
This movie is so popular, in addition to the love and encouragement of the family (a birthday gift for the male protagonist's birthday, an unemployed mother encouraging him to complete the travel log, a lost wallet mother to help him keep it, and a mother who has no money to sell the piano), there are the following reasons:
1. Tourist beauty
In the play, the protagonist has gone to Greenland, Iceland, Nepal and the Himalayas, but in fact, the film is only filmed in Iceland, and every January a large number of people go to Iceland to watch the aurora, and because the temperature plummets, the roads are frozen, and there are countless people trapped there in sudden traffic accidents.
(1) Grundarfjörður
In the film, after Walter jumps into the sea, the ship docks and arrives at the Port of Iceland, and the crew grabs the bicycle, which takes place in Glendaphiser. This town is located in the west of Iceland, and many of the photographs of Church Hill were taken in this town. Glendafier is only 40 km from Stykkisholmur, and there are also famous attractions such as Snæfell Volcano and Budirhei Church.
(2) Iceland Route 1 (Harri Village Hotel to Höfn)
In the film, Walter gets off the boat and the crew grabs the bike, and it is on the no. 1 road on the mountain on the right side of the sea and the left side of the sea that he begins his journey to find a photographer. The scenery along the way is stunning, and every corner is a surprise.
(3) Icelandic Route 93 (Eilstadzy to Sess fierze)
The most impressive part of the whole film is Walter's superb skateboarding skills on the winding road after exchanging skateboards with children. The pleasure of gliding freely on the vast land makes people yearn for it incomparably. This part was filmed on Route 93, between Egilsstaðir and Seyðisfjörður. If you're arriving by car, you'll need to cross a high mountain and follow the snow-capped mountains on both sides to reach the idyllic town of Sedis Fierze.
(4) Seyðisfjörður
Walter's destination on skateboarding, Sedis Fierze, was also the filming location when he used his jeep to escape the eruption. The town is backed by mountains and faces the fjord, and the residents mainly live by fishing, and their lives are quiet and beautiful.
2. Classic lines
（1）To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of LIFE.
Broaden your horizons, break through hardships, see everything, get close to life, find true love, and feel each other. That's the purpose of life
（2）Beautiful things don't ask for attention.
Don't be easily disturbed by beautiful things.
(3) Sometimes I don't shoot, and if I like a moment, I mean I personally like it when I don't like the camera to distract me. I just want to immerse myself in that moment, yes, enjoy that moment.
(4) The moment is over.
3. Movie interludes
The film's selection of film songs has a feeling of American country music, and the three that impress you most are the following three:
(1) Theme song "Dirty Paws", an Icelandic independent folk orchestra
(2) "Step Out" full of enthusiasm and vitality of life
(3) "Stay Alive", which touches the heart at the end of the film, is a folk style
This "Daydreamer" plot style is small and fresh, but beautiful and romantic, dreams, family, family, friendship, love, is a self-seeking movie,
There is also a sense of tribute to the traditional media, the photos above the traditional paper media photography magazines are taken by photographers who risk various dangers and truly feel life and beauty, and the negative molding of the photo also requires the male protagonist to work and adhere to it so rigorously, just because they firmly believe in the concept of the magazine, they have the seriousness and dedication of the work.
Love life you will like, life in addition to the step-by-step work, there is a beautiful world scenery worth looking forward to, the world is still worth it...
