It seems that Meryl is easy to control the role, and the two-hour movie is equivalent to a light sketch, with many jokes, but the theme is not easy. The heroine is an ordinary woman, a woman who pursues happiness, a woman who is unwilling to base her happiness on the suffering of others. The pursuit of happiness is the need of normal people, but the process of pursuing happiness is often so tortuous and difficult that you want to give up. Being in a dilemma and having no choice is scary, but being in a predicament and facing multiple options is even more scary. Because you don't anticipate the consequences of your choices, and life is a one-way street.
The reason why a master chess player is one move higher than others is that they can mentally figure out many of the next moves and the opponent's response. Every step they take is the result of careful consideration, not chance.
The chess game of life is huge and complicated, and I am a little bit stage fright.
On the night when she had to make a choice, she lay on a garden chair, looking up at the stars. Her eyes were bewildered and helpless. At that moment, I thought of the woman of that French lieutenant many years ago. Meryl is always good at acting in literary and artistic films, but in recent years, most of the films she has taken over are comedies, acting as silly big sisters or smug professional women, with bright backgrounds. In "Love is Complicated", the heroine has a career she likes, runs a restaurant by herself, has three or five confidants, talks about everything, three children who are sensible and caring, and a perfect son-in-law. Life looks beautiful if she doesn't need a lover.
Since you can't ignore your own needs, let's face the challenge of choice bravely.
