This month, audiences in Taiwan will be able to take pleasure in a fun new film from comedy legend Eddie Murphy. Coming 2 America, a sequel to the 1988 film Coming to America will be released in Taiwan in early January. Expect plenty of laughs from great actors in this cross-cultural adventure.
In the original 1988 film, Eddie Murphy played a very rich African prince named Akeem from the fictional kingdom of Zamunda. With a desire to find a good wife who he could respect, he traveled to the United States. He and his friend Semmi, who was played by Arsenio Hall, posed as ordinary exchange students.
pose as sb假扮∕裝成某人 ordinary [ ˈɔrdənˌɛrɪ ] a. 普通的，平常的
The movie was a classic fish-out-of-water tale that examined the differences between the rich and poor. Despite being a comedy, it also offered insight into the different cultural identities of black people born in Africa and those born and raised in North America.
In the sequel Coming 2 America, Akeem, who is about to become King of Zamunda, discovers that he has a long-lost son living in the US. After this discovery, Akeem decides to leave his homeland once again. He travels with Semmi back to New York City, where they will find the missing prince, along with a few old friends.
在續集《來去美國 2》中，Akeem 即將登基成為 Zamunda 的國王，卻發現他有一個失散許久的兒子居住在美國。在知悉這點後，Akeem 決定再度離開祖國。他和 Semmi 一起重返紐約市，在此他們將找出這位失落的王子，並遇上一些舊識。
