2. A best-selling book does not mean a good movie.
3. The wonderful scenery of the three major tourist countries + best-selling author + gold screenwriter + celebrity producer + handsome men and beauties + beautiful music is not equal to a good movie.
4. A forty-year-old aunt who is entangled and blunt is not the same as a woman with a strong heart.
5. The reason why I gave this movie one star is because there are no random stars to choose from.
6. If this so-called spiritual growth film is considered to be a light comedy, there are quite a few burdens, and people can't help but laugh:
1) Liz's three emotional relationships are all inexplicable: the first part, an 8-year old man The wife had a problem but didn't say clearly. Whenever there was a gap between their ideas, the two secretly ran away, without the slightest communication.
According to the hint in the film, it seems that Liz's husband suddenly wanted to go to graduate school after his middle-aged career failure. Liz concluded that he was immature and unreliable. It's ridiculous. If her husband really belongs to the kind of late maturity, it takes half a lifetime to reach middle age before finally confronting the road that she only likes/is only suitable for academics? Then he is the one who has really faced his heart, the person whose heart has finally grown up. And he dared to deny that the previous half-life was from scratch. This kind of courage is by no means comparable to the big-mouthed female petty bourgeoisie who picks up whenever there is a problem.
The second paragraph: Love with the siblings of stage actors, start inexplicably and end inexplicably. Folding her underwear and tampering with her script can easily capture her heart, but if you want to continue, the requirements are not generally high. I feel that the author's sister's love standard is really "lenient in and strict out." In fact, after seeing it, I vaguely felt that there seemed to be a deep problem of the double standard of passionate love/real marriage or even the opposite standard, but the movie seemed reluctant to discuss it in depth, so it seemed sloppy and strange.
The third paragraph: I can't see the good thing about that handsome Brazilian old man. Moreover, his romantic act of taking the initiative/arranging a boat trip drew Liz's fierce opposition, which really seemed a bit ill-considered. In fact, when watching them quarrel fiercely in front of the boat and even Liz's heroic declaration "I don't need to prove that I love myself by loving you", my only thought is that the handsome Brazilian guy is too self-righteous, thinking he can. Prepare luggage for two people. What if a big-mouthed beauty has her own unique luggage? For example, she needs strange cosmetics every day, has strange personal habits, or needs hemorrhoid cream every day. These handsome Brazilian guys can't prepare for her and she doesn't want him to know? The two quarreled so fiercely, in fact, maybe he just thought that he was asking for her consent first, instead of agreeing for her without authorization. Hehe, feminism has finally come. This may be the central idea of the original book, but the film's expression uses such an awkward way.
2) Liz's travels in three countries beginning with I have encountered folk, physical and mental masters who have thoroughly understood the truth of life. The customers and barbers in the Italian barbershop taught Americans to learn to enjoy rather than entertain. The Texas divorced uncle who studied meditation in India taught Liz to empty his mind to accept new things. The Indonesian two even spoke English unfavorably and had extreme temperaments. The suspected witch doctor who fudges, teaches Liz to "balance" and "love"!
Obviously it is a trip to eat, drink and play. Why does everyone she meets is a spiritual master and likes to preach so much? The answer is roughly the same as "Don't blame the dog for always following when you look like a second bun." In the eyes of a person who determines spiritual growth, everyone has the potential to be a mentor, ha ha.
3) One detail: Liz fell asleep while meditating in India. The classmates who participated in the meditation together satirized that she was the only one who fell asleep. It's super unpleasant to see it. Is it such a rare and even unforgivable mistake to fall asleep in meditation? The reason why so many people turn to the spiritual master is because there is too much emotional turbulence in their hearts, and they can't sleep anyway. Therefore, being able to let go of the anxiety and fall asleep openly should be regarded as the contribution of the yoga class, and the pictures of the clients sleeping peacefully in the class should be framed and hung.
In addition, if Liz really falls asleep not because of tranquility but because of boredom, it is not the students who should be reviewed, but the instructor. If your textbooks and your teaching style are so boring and unable to attract students, then it's time for the masters to reflect.
4) Whether at home or abroad, there seems to be a popular topic in recent years: travel is a panacea for finding oneself and spiritual growth. But many actions that use travel to "find yourself" are hypocritical and weak escapes. And the ending of the protagonists is probably finally known, and they can't escape the curse of their weak hearts even if they travel all over the world. Questions of the soul, please go to the soul to find it. Asking for everything, you can only run out of wealth and time, and in the end, you will get nothing but empty bags.
