It's been a long time since I watched a movie, so when I saw that post, I decided I had to watch a movie this week.
I watch a lot of movie recommendations every day, I think this one, it must be Kate Winslet and this story that attracts me. Whether it's Titanic, or Revolutionary Road, or the Reader. She always left me with the impression that all the characters she is creating are all women who face the inner truth, and whose vitality seems to be restrained by some external environment, gradually losing their brilliance.
The movie seems to tell the story of Sarah and Brad's affair, but if that's all, why is there a story of Ronnie, a pedophile, and Larry, a retired police officer who goes mad to attack Ronnie? Is it just for enrichment?
The stories of these few people may not seem very related, but thinking about the title, I feel the "aha" that belongs to me: Sarah and Brad's extramarital affair, Larry's stubbornness and his feelings for Brad, Ronnie's state of facing the world and After his mother died and let him be a good boy, he moved from the palace, and it was like seeing a group of children struggling in an environment where they felt "uncomfortable". Growing up is a long, dull process, but realizing it can be growing like a turning back so quickly. When we understand that all change requires a beginning, and that the beginning is often up to us, we may also make two choices, both of which are shown in the film. One is that Sarah and Brad decide to elope. This decision, in a different place and a different person, life may start to happen again in a good direction. The other is also Sarah and Brad, who were each stumbled by the pebble of fate. They did not complete the first choice smoothly, but realized the second choice and changed themselves. In the movie, the second kind of thinking happens too quickly, but in reality most of them are slow and dull. But when I look back and see my dull pain, and think about myself now, I have a real and abstract sense of pride.
From children to adults, mothers, it is this kind of cycle that keeps repeating.
