2. If it is not divided into existing genres, this movie should be a typical "middle-aged movie". The sigh and expectation of life in middle-aged people seem to be the small sparks of desire and hope hidden under the calmness. Such a movie is destined to be unable to choose those handsome men and beautiful women to play the role. Then the director boldly chose a fat bald man as the leading actor, but fortunately he was arranged to be a humorous and experienced man. At the same time, the heroine is casually dressed, unsocial, down-to-earth and boring.
3. The details used in the film to construct the character's character are standard teaching materials, not to say that it is accurate, but to be quite satisfactory. For example, several guests who are the heroine of a masseuse, a young man who does not help her move a massage table, an elderly man, a woman with a broken mouth that keeps talking to herself like obsessive-compulsive disorder, these scenes are repeated one after another, very Ingeniously writes the hardships of middle-aged people working hard for survival. Some little humor, some little helpless. No blood and tears, no pretending to be easy, this is part of the truth about work and life.
4. The reason why middle-aged people are easy to get into trouble is only because of their awkward age. It is not like when you were young, everything is opening to yourself, everything is full of hope and new possibilities, hormones and self-confidence are conspiring every day; and it is not like the determination and transparency of old age, facing an inevitable The coming decline and end is nothing more than waiting. The middle-aged is stuck in the middle, and every day of self-satisfaction seems to be too frivolous, naive and pompous, and if you obey your fate, you will become a kind of old-fashioned and unwilling. Here comes the story and the accident. This age is trivial and mediocre, but also fruitful.
5. Interpersonal relationship is the most difficult thing to portray, but success is also the most profound if it can portray success. Interpersonal relationships in middle age are even more so. This film presents a complex network-like relationship, and the embarrassment caused by such a relationship. When my current girlfriend becomes the masseur of his ex-wife-this is the typical bridge segment that relies on "contingency" to promote the plot. This accidental foreshadowing is passed, at least at the beginning, it is a hidden line that is more successful, but When it was selected, due to the God's perspective of the audience, the subsequent plot basically no longer contained any suspense. This is an absolute failure.
6. The role setting of the heroine's daughter and her classmates is more interesting. The daughter is at the moment when she is leaving home to go to college, vacillating between escape from restraint, freedom and independence, and separation anxiety. The intimacy between her daughter's classmate and her mother has become an "intruder", she seems to have taken the place she may have vacated, while the girl's mother thinks her daughter has been "robbed" by another woman. There are too many unspeakable mysterious emotions revealed in the pulling relationship between these four women, such as emptiness, helplessness, lack of security, intimacy and distance, and so on.
7. "Human imperfection" is the most important content that this movie hopes to present to people. When you get along with people, you will always see the good aspects first, because those parts are shining and are destined to attract people’s attention. But after the interaction deepens, the dark matter begins to appear, and the small vices that were previously unconcerned and could be tolerated are all magnified. Then boredom appeared, and the two became more and more careless. One side effect of intimacy is the complete relaxation of one's own behavior and language. Bad words, ridicule, and indifference become more frequent, and a relationship begins to go bad. This film uses the new relationship between the hero and the heroine to fully present the parabola and the whole process of a couple getting along. This process is a universal sample. At the same time, this relationship is almost a replica of their previous marriage. As a result, a sense of absurdity was created. Almost all relationships will go to a similar ending, dull, indifferent, bored or even collapsed, so does the new relationship still have meaning? The director of this film obviously did not intend to give the cruel truth that a purely artistic film would provide, but gave a warm and vulgar answer. Because of the excitement and beauty of the process, people are willing to step into the same river again, even if they know the end is dark and boundless. Although this is a cheap bowl of chicken soup for the soul, it is the real situation in reality.
