Big Movie (2006)

What goes around comes around
It must be familiar with this photo as it is something alike the one in Shimian Maifu (directed by Zhang Yi-mou). Sure, it plays jokes on so many movies, someone which is as famous as Forrest Gump, Matrix, Broken Mountain and so on. There are some from domestic ones like Shimian Maifu, Kungfu, etc. Just joking. Zhang and his coteries dream of being as the winner of Oscar and direct couples of so called Big Movies. They always dream and make garbage time and again. That's why people always laugh at them and they won't do if these guys just failed without the garbage.
It begins as a pigeon flying and singing in the sky. Then comes a feather falling down. It copies from Forrest Gump. Anyone who has watched the film will remember “Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are gona get.” Here it's quoted and made some changes. Anderson(by Zeng Zhi-wei), is kindhearted. He's cheated and buy a house with his shop mortgaged. It didn't help him earn anything but lost his shop. He wanted to sell it and get the money back. However, he gave it up as he saw Mr. Wei had the same story as him. He refused to share the anger and grievance. Then a miracle comes. One occasional boom brought him a spring below the lawn at he front of his house. Fate changed and he became rich as he sold the spring water.
Big Movie, just a joke.
