A white-collar man in his thirties is about to get divorced. His 10-year-old daughter is very curious about her father's love story. So he recalled his ten-year struggle history, how he changed from a young politician who admired Clinton to a middle-class advertising salesman, as well as the leading girls he once soaked in.
Of course his daughter pays more attention to his romance than the wider audience. The three women in his life are typical cases that resonate with many. Case A: The first love girlfriend in college, gentle and well-behaved, and then because he went to New York to develop, space and time cut off the future of the two.
Case B: An energetic female reporter is probably the ideal lover, and the one who can make him the most passionate, very similar to himself, smart, capable and ambitious. But it was not easy to control. In the end, the female reporter sacrificed him fiercely between chance and love, which caused him to be depressed since then.
Case C: This girl is his opposite, has no interest in politics, and only associates with rock and roll youth like Kurt Cobain, who seems to be always on the edge. But human nature is very complex, and sometimes you will be curious and interested in people who are the opposite of you, and want to release some rebellion in your heart. Such a girl is most suitable to be a confidante, and usually can only be a confidante.
It's interesting that the movie doesn't reveal the mystery until the end, which girl married him and became his child's mother. However, the flashback method lets the audience know that his marriage was a failure, which creates an illusion: no matter who you have been with, the result will be the same.
Will he go back to find his first girlfriend? Forgive me for saying coldly: the grass is not so delicious, especially this kind of love that they had fallen in love with but still gave up on each other. After that, the two sides went through a lot of things, but they turned around for some reasons. Gather a piece, especially when you are disappointed, this overnight grass will eat up... What is it that you are in a hurry, and then decline, and three are exhausted?
Will the female reporter reunite with him? This seems to be difficult, he didn't talk to him when he was complacent, let alone when he was depressed later.
Or have a spark with a confidante? I have to say coldly again: basically no drama. How can two people who have been friends for many years spark sparks? It must not be as awkward and awkward as drilling wood to make fire. Besides, did he really love this girl? Or is it just regret when it is missed, and an alternative when there is no choice?
Love is a strange desire, selfish and impermanent.
After listening to his story, his daughter sighed like a little adult: Love is really complicated! In order to comfort his daughter, he said, "There is always a happy ending, it's you!" Yes, if there is a happy ending in a love marriage, it is probably only and possibly a child.
There are Kurt Cobain songs and clips from Clinton's campaign that year. It seems that young Americans in the early 1990s were either busy casting votes for Clinton to realize their political dreams; No matter what, even if you know that the end is destined to become a middle class who is tired of coping with marriage and family, you still have to struggle hard when you are young, and there is only so much left to think about in life.
