I watched this movie on the train. The playwright of the film is just the original, and is really good at telling sadness and joy in a calm and repressed tone, and the emotions expressed in this repressed way just make the viewers comprehend more deeply.
Recently, I am experiencing the most tangled situation since I worked for three years. I can't see clearly what I want, I am afraid that I can't ask for it, I am also afraid of lack of material things, and I can't find the meaning of life. I think so much because I'm free, but I always feel that these thoughts have always been there, but they have been buried by the seemingly full and impetuous time. When the floating light disappears, when you are old, and you can face your heart directly every day, I am afraid that I will be even more powerless to face such entanglements.
So, grateful Homer finally found the meaning of his existence. He has tried and experienced, so he can not regret his choice, and can have the courage to do what he was originally expected to do.
Although the small plot at the end shows his choice, he may have been imprisoned in the name of love from a very early time. But who isn't! There has never been true freedom and autonomy in this world. After becoming self-aware, being able to follow your heart and make choices calmly is a "growing up" that every adult must experience.
In another drama review of "The Good Wife", I have seen the author's discussion and fully agree: what is the so-called "adult world", you no longer blame yourself for life itself and others, And no longer blame others for seeking perfection for yourself. Facing difficulties with confidence, pursuing self-worth, not blindly depending on others nor afraid of trusting others, treating others with compassion, and respecting each individual - this is what an adult should be like. I have the same experience in this film. Is the adult's world just about starting a family and having children, or is it still fraught with money, or is it just a sham and compromise? It seems to be all, but it shouldn't be just that. The world of adults should be that it is no longer as simple to use the simple dichotomy of right and wrong to interpret people and things. Just like Lu Shi in the film, he made his daughter pregnant, which is really a bastard, but in the end he also made a huge compensation for his past behavior. I am very grateful for the compassion of the playwright - depicting the world I expect of an adult - because I understand it, I am compassionate.
Hope that whenever there is a change, there will always be a scorching sun.
