I found the shadows of people around me in this movie, I fell into it

I downloaded this movie by accident and kept it on my computer without ever opening it. On the high-speed train to Beijing that day, I was bored and clicked on it. At first I thought it was a boring movie, although the scene was more beautiful, but the plot was very cliché.
With the deepening of the plot, I fell into it, and I could even find the shadows of the people around me. I actually felt sad and almost shed tears. I'm not a very emotional person, but it touched my emotions. I hurriedly looked out the window so that people around me would not see it.
It's a film about American ethics, a midlife crisis, but it touched me. It can be seen that when you persist in life for decades, it may be boring and worthless, and when one day you suddenly find that such a life has become precarious and walking on thin ice, it is impossible to go back to the past. You will suddenly understand that the world will not go your way. You don't say what would have been, what I should have gotten. No, life can't go the way you want. But since it has already happened, it has become a fact, life has to go on, and the sun should come tomorrow.
There's a lot to learn from this film, and it's a good ethical film.

The Descendants quotes

  • [first lines]

    Matt King: My friends on the mainland think just because I live in Hawaii, I live in paradise. Like a permanent vacation. We're all just out here sipping Mai Tais, shaking our hips, and catching waves. Are they insane?

  • Matt King: I'm the backup parent. The understudy.
