Meryl Streep's performance is still very good. Although it is a comedy, I feel that the screenwriter is also expressing her family values ​​and ethics.

In contrast, the heroine is a person who really knows how to love, Being able to not complain when her husband is betrayed, but to find a balance after divorce through long-term psychotherapy, not to evade when facing responsibilities alone, but to bravely take on the burden of the family and raise the children one by one, Not being selfish when it's hard for the kids to accept, but comforting those kids right after the event. That's why she deserves such a happy family. Seeing her in her graduation ceremony, this mother is really a blessing Everyone is moved.

In contrast, the male protagonist has passed half his life, but he still does not understand what love is. What he has been pursuing is only passion and infatuation. For him, the triviality and irritability of family life are inherent in children. Willfulness and repetition are the opposite of love to his impatient and steady father, and he will always make him feel that there will be no real, tedious little things on the other side, just the feeling of simply pursuing passion. It is love. In the end, such a man can only be seen as a shadow. It is the ending he deserves and a lesson arranged for the rest of his life. The

psychiatrist is right, this kind of affair has changed the heroine's attitude towards things, maybe Last time, she gave up passively, but this time, she did choose to give up rationally after her life and maturity.

The calm male No. 2 saw the calmness and harmony of the two sweetest divorced couple in the world at the prom Being honest about how he doesn't want to develop with a woman he's already dating after sober, indeed he's the better person to spend his life with.

Love is not what love is. It's complicated, more than emotions and passion.
