This is the most impressive of all the JULIA ROBERTS movies. A typical American film-style narration, the conflict between the characters from the conflict to the reconciliation of the conflict, until the final protagonist's beliefs and beliefs move everyone, and the ending is perfect. The emotional stories of several women are different, but they powerfully convey a concept: women should be independent and self-reliant. Whether it is in the distant era in the movie or in modern society, it is really not worth mentioning that a woman who becomes a vassal of a man and has no sense of independence will eventually make men tired. Women must first have the will as a human being to build their own independent spiritual space. This space has nothing to do with the closest partner and belongs to them completely.

As students bid farewell to this distinguished teacher, their hearts have opened a door to new ideas, new insights into art, life and love
