The movie itself is actually quite a cheesy story. I didn't quite understand the obsession of the two girls to hold a wedding at a specific time and place. I think weddings are just a formality, the important thing is that you want your family and friends to witness and celebrate that you have found someone who will love each other for the rest of your life. So probably too much attention was paid to the wedding, and Emma neglected to check whether the man was qualified. When he first said "I don't think Liv's boyfriend can't manage (or literally control) Liv", it foreshadowed that the wedding would not be held. The Emma he loves is the weak and elegant Emma who dare not say no to others. He thinks this is what a woman should be like. So when he found out that Emma could curse, get drunk and dance in private, his self-esteem of some kind of man couldn't bear such an Emma. Perhaps because of his inferiority, he found that he could not control such a woman. On the contrary, Liv's fiance accepts and appreciates all Liv's crazy actions, so Liv is happy because she can be herself completely free. That's what I like about a lot of American TV shows or American movies. The values conveyed are not: what a woman should be, what a woman should do, or what a woman should do to please a man or marry herself off.
And then I want to talk about the friendship of women. I believe that most girls who have feelings after watching the movie actually think of their best friends. I have been together with Miss Shao for four years in college, but our relationship is better than ten years, and I keep in frequent contact after going abroad. It's just that I woke up one morning when I was in my eighth year abroad and I was sure that I wouldn't even go back to my country for a wedding. I was surprised that we hadn't spoken in a long time.
So I was 20 minutes after the movie, when they missed each other, and then when the wedding sparred and finally reconciled, I burst into tears. Because I thought I might not be able to make my once-best friend my bridesmaid. I can invite her over at the wedding, but we can't choose a wedding venue, choose a cake, or even sit and scold men together. In the four years of college, we have also dreamed countless times what our respective weddings will be like, and there will be various arguments during the discussion, but the constant is that we will be each other's bridesmaids. In the years that followed, we worked hard for our own lives. She experienced the battles between her relatives and her mother's illness and death. I also experienced all kinds of sadness in a foreign country. We often cry to each other on the phone, but it's more to cheer each other up. It's just that no one can hold each other's hands and say: don't be afraid, I'll be with you. Finally, eight years later, we both got through those days, only to find that we were no longer the people who wanted to talk to each other the most.
After watching the movie, I sent Miss Shao a text message to ask her when she could speak, but she still hasn't replied to me for a few hours. Maybe it's the time difference.
And when I type these words, my tears still flow, this may be The end of an era.
