尼克(威尔·法瑞尔 Will Ferrell 饰)只是一届小小推销员,在为公司做牛做马16年后,他非但没有得到晋升,反而落得了被残忍开除的下场,而尼克所获得的遣散补偿,竟然只是一把小小的军刀。老天爷似乎存心要和尼克作对,失意的他回到家后,眼见出现的景象简直让他抓狂。原来,妻子对终日浑浑噩噩的尼克失去了信任,她将他的所有家当扫地出门后更换了门锁拒绝再与尼克相见。
无家可归的尼克所拥有的全部就是身边的那一堆破破烂烂的垃圾,不甘于现状的他决定利用自己推销员的技能搞一个户外大甩卖。然而,正是这大甩卖让尼克找到了生活的方向,同时将名为撒玛利亚(丽贝卡·豪尔 Rebecca Hall 饰)的漂亮女人带到了他的身边。
During eight tumultuous days in 1988 at the world’s only Deaf university, four students must find a way to lead an angry mob — and change the course of history.
With two Deaf candidates up for the role of president, Gallaudet University students saw the possibility of finally being led by someone like them. But when the board of trustees — composed overwhelmingly of hearing individuals — selected the lone hearing candidate, the groundswell of student activism that followed forced a reckoning of more than a century of paternalism. Told primarily through American Sign Language, Deaf President Now! creates an immediacy through immersive archival footage and experiential use of silence and sound. Gallaudet alumnus, model, actor, and Deaf activist Nyle DiMarco (America’s Next Top Model) makes his directorial debut alongside veteran filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, 2023 Sundance Film Festival) with this rousing documentary that demonstrates the power of collective action to demand meaningful change, foster self-determination, and realize dreams long deferred.
