　　Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery. He wants to work outdoors and be close to nature. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his last will and testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend thinks he must be dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon everyone he knows—and some he doesn’t—are crowded into his small apartment to say their last farewells.

　　电影一直与阳春白雪相关，似乎很少有人把它与下里巴人联系在一起。可河南某小镇某小村，却发生了一件事，让电影与下里巴人进行了一次对接。村里的电影放映员蔡有才（李易祥 饰）一直有一个梦想，那就是亲自拍一部电影。这不是闹着玩的，有才果真开始实践起了拍电影之梦。围绕着鬼子进村的主题，有才开始寻找演员，构造场景，可这些非专业出身的演员和资金的限制，让片场状况百出也笑话百出，经过各种磨难，有才还是咬牙坚持了下来。　　本片为真人真事改编，全程用河南话进行对白。真实情形为河南许昌县灵井镇兴元铺村的农民赵兰卿发动村民一起自编自导自演了一部名为《鬼子进村》的电影，开创了农民自己拍电影的先河。

　　Channel 5和PBS Masterpiece宣布一次性续订《万物生灵》第五季、第六季，均由6集和圣诞特别集组成。

 本片是同一故事第三度重拍的版本。此片将好莱坞的背景改成今日的摇滚乐坛，男主角原是着名的摇滚乐歌手，而女主角则在小型夜总会卖艺。影片中有不少热门插曲，部分片段的镜头和表演都不俗，但整体则显得有点矫揉造作，角色欠缺真正的生命感，不过娱乐性还是维持相当水准。本片曾获奥斯卡最佳电影插曲金像奖。
