So Barbara must have understood and felt sorry for her mother at the moment when the two of them sat on the farm and supported each other.
Seemingly indestructible, the mother who has been detached from the essence of life all day
Really care about the family
The sudden death of her father Beverly made her unbearable
She can't seem to take care of the rest of her life
she broke down
But those who came to mourn
But not all of them can be called their own family
The three daughters talked about the old days in the courtyard
I don't have a deep connection with the other two
It's as if it's just a genetically unalterable connection.
They seem to be getting more and more distant
Unable to share the joys and sorrows of life
can't participate in and guide each other's lives
different life plans
It also made the three unhappy again
Seeing through and not telling life is a compromise
Violet, played by Aunt May, is a drug addict. She and her overly alcoholic husband struggle to keep the family's nominal marriage estranged in reality, but she can't choose to separate.
Let's call it a compromise on life
Because she really can't take care of herself alone
Violet's daughters also have many misunderstandings about themselves. Violet is aware of their problems, but she has never had the opportunity and position as a mother to gently guide them out of the current bad situation. Maybe this kind and thoughtful thought is only when she is not on drugs. The thought that flashed in my mind was the reality that she couldn't take care of them. It was also a kind of ignorance
Her eldest daughter Barbara's marriage has also come to an end, the man is no longer affectionate and considerate, the woman is no longer gentle and understanding find a new balance
She pretends her life is business as usual
Her second daughter, Ivy, has already reached the age of marriage, but she has always been single. There is always unnecessary gossip and criticism around her. It turns out that she has made up her mind with her "cousin", but she has been kept in the dark. She and her cousin are actually real siblings. The reality version of
She chooses to escape and no longer believes in love
Maybe you think this intricate blood relationship
It's a secret that has been hidden in this family but Violet knows that Violet's cousin knows that her cousin-in-law also knows that everyone just didn't make it public. Everyone lives with this secret, hoping to hide this betrayal in the dullness of life. The compromises and forgetting you make in pursuit of a happy life
Third daughter Karen confronts fiance's infidelity
No matter how angry she is, she can't tell anyone
She said she had done unspeakable things
Maybe in the future
But life just pushes you to that point
learn to forget
Amplify the happiness of the moment
In the end, mother and Barbara understood each other.
But they still can't live together
because
Some people can only care from a distance
Once close to life
Those contradictions and differences will only wear away your patience and love
life sometimes makes you
make some unavoidable choices
