They're outsiders who don't understand his reaction but then again he's the Alpha-male while Gerald pushes the platonic button so hard it always propels him into friend-zone and Tyler didn't have sex in the 90s (the film is from 1992). The 'feet' aftermath is discussed with his two buddies Gerald (David Alan Grier) and Tyler (Martin Lawrence). It's an interesting comment on how image is a double-edged sword for both sexes, while more of a burden for women. But take it for someone who worked in that racket, this is a woman's world, as image-awareness is largely considered a female trait, so for all his masculine act, Marcus got entrapped in the cult-of-image.
Indeed, advertisement is all about attentiveness to image or packaging, and so the man regards his preys as 'objects'. This is neither a gag, nor a hint at a foot fetish but a revealer of the unconscious overlapping of his trade with his relationships. Then a quick stare on her feet while she's sleeping reveals ugly soles calling for immediate dumping. Yes, Marcus is always on the prowl but his perfectionism is rather impressive: he could have the girl in his bed but he plays it so smooth again he ends up in hers. One ellipse takes us to him decorating his house with the cautiousness of a caterer and ignoring the insult of his neighbor (Tisha Campbell) who keeps warning new girlfriends about the predator. The trick could work by earning him a number but it works so well she gives hers. His character-establishing moment occurs when he improvises a lost-dog scenario by buying a leash on the spot, Lela Ronchon falls in his trap.

A lesser movie would've made him arrogant and detestable but Marcus plays in a whole other league, taking women as seriously as any part of his professional endeavor. And in this seemingly implausible world, Eddie Murphy plays Marcus, the smooth-talking womanizer who can get any girl. And from that starting point, it creates a whole new outlet for romantic comedies whose tropes were codified by Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts movies. This is not the first of its genre: Spike Lee built his reputation by portraying African-Americans in narrative realms outside the usual dictated tropes, but director Reginald Hudlin and writer Barry Blaustein went even further by exploring the world of glam, cosmetics agency, marketing, female power and reversed the roles with white people playing comic reliefs and women dominating men it's "The Cosby Show" meeting "Working Girl". The last scene filmed took place alongside the Han river.First, let's credit "Boomerang" for what it is: an all-Black cast movie not centered on urban crime, drugs, racism, hood etc. Movie is based on the novel "Goryeonghwa Gajok" by Cheon Myung-Gwan (published Februby Munhakdongne Publishing Group).All three siblings have issues, while their mother has her own secrets. In-Mo and Han-Mo are both against the idea of their younger sister moving back home, but she's about to divorce for the second time and she doesn't have a place to stay. He quickly figures out that the girl is his niece and his younger sister ( Kong Hyo-Jin) is also planning to move back home. The next day, In-Mo walks out into the living room to find a young teenage girl ( Jin Ji-Hee) watching TV. He's also not happy that his younger brother is moving back in. Han-Mo himself doesn't work and he's been to prison several times.
While eating at his mother's home, his older brother Han-Mo ( Yoon Je-Moon) comes out of his room and learns that In-Mo is planning to move back home. In-Mo goes there and decides to stay there indefinitely. His mother has cooked chicken porridge and invites him over for dinner. Just at his darkest hour, In-Mo receives a phone call from his mother ( Youn Yuh-Jung). He's now living in a dilapidated apartment and unable to pay his rent. His first movie as a director flopped badly at the box-office. In-Mo ( Park Hae-Il) is going through a crisis. Writer: Cheon Myung-Gwan (novel), Kim Hae-Gon, Kim Jae-Hwan.Revised romanization: Goryeonghwa Gajok.Movie: Boomerang Family (English title) / Aging Family (literal title).
