ordinary life

The name of the movie seems to have been heard countless times, and it is just passing by the title.

Fortunately, I only watched this movie when I was a little old now. If I were younger, I guess that after watching the movie, even the actors who thought the girl had amnesia would definitely forget them in the long river of memory. This is a movie without beautiful and outstanding stars, and the whole story has no climax or dramatic conflict, just like my current life, just a mediocre person with some lofty ambitions, but real life can never be realized. So easy to get everything you want.

Miles, who writes novels, cannot be published, divorced for two years, and still misses his ex-wife. Mike, a second-rate actor, is about to marry a rich girl. To celebrate Mike's upcoming marriage. Two middle-aged men plan a trip for Mike's last week before marriage.

There are a lot of twitter films from Laomei's assembly line, which really made me go astray for many years. I always think that the United States is a world without money. Recently, I have watched more foreign films before I can officially understand it. In fact, Lao Mi is really simple, cute, direct and stupid. They are not as smart as we are.

It seems that there is confusion about life, in rich countries, in poor countries, everywhere. It turns out that the confusion in life is really a common reason for human beings. It's just the rich and powerful people, and now the propaganda has to promote what they have recently become rich and powerful. Few of them talk about how rich or powerful others are. After walking through the pits and pits, they say that they are also talking about it, but as their own broken road, it takes so much time and so much experience to understand.

Miles and Mike, enjoying wine along the way. I met two girls.

Mike is about to play the last crazy before marriage, and soon has a hot fight with a woman. It turned out that when people knew that he was going to be beaten to death by a woman on the news in a few days, he deserved it. However, this S's sexuality did not change, and he continued to provoke the waitress, but this time the waitress' husband was caught in bed and fled back to the hotel naked. In the end, he lied that it was a car accident and continued the wedding.

Miles is hard to forget about his ex-wife, and has been living alone for two years after the divorce. Because of this, his friends have been encouraging him to go out and partying, but he has been resisting all of this. Met Maya on the road as much as he likes wine, researching wine. But Miles thinks that he is poor, has a bad career, has written unpublished books, and lived a very depressed life. Even he couldn't be sure whether he could really forget his ex-wife who had remarried.

When Miles gathers the courage to start with Maya, they are separated because of Mike. At the wedding ceremony of friend Mike, he met his ex-wife. Knowing that his ex-wife has stopped drinking, and that his ex-wife already has a child.

Most of the time our lives were just plain old, and Miles just went back to school and started teaching and writing to Maya. I haven't received a reply for a long time. Finally, one day, I received a recording of Maya's phone call. Maya said she had been reading his novels and learned about Miles' story from them. She wants Miles to continue writing novels no matter what. And she was leaving the city where they met soon, and she had finished gardening.

Fortunately, the ending is Miles driving to find Maya.

Forgive me, I like that people in real life don't just have memories, don't miss out after the fact, don't let those tragic stories be staged.

I really liked the scene where Miles and Maya chatted about wine at a friend's house, that kind of feeling that the lovers wanted to get close to each other. Bundle.

The movie is very light, and it is also in line with my ordinary life. Everyone who seems ordinary has his own story and helplessness. In these frustrations, no matter what we have experienced, I hope that I can always maintain an attitude towards life like Miles. Don't be too indulgent. Regain enthusiasm after disappointment.

In fact, I am still in that long transition period.

Sometimes when I think about my only advantage, it is estimated that the love of life will always continue, even if there are too many disappointments.

Because I think my life is ordinary and heroic.

PS: Halfway through the writing of the movie, I took a small walk and went to see Tianya MM blog, I really like to live like that. Indeed, everyone is unhappy. And that MM favorite man left because of a car accident. I still wish the more fairytale endings the better.
