will continue to live a stable life in pain
because we are afraid of change and fear that things will become fragmented."
Many people complain that this film is trivial, plain and incomprehensible. Indeed, compared with most American movies, It does lack that little bit of shock. The film cannot show the delicate and sensual female psychology in the original novel one by one. It can only make up for one or two from the director's beautiful scenes like scenery films and the charm of beauties with big mouths.
Some movies are only suitable for audiences with a specific mentality, or a specific age group and life experience, this film is one of them. In the eyes of most Chinese audiences, the restless lifestyle like the heroine is really unappreciable. After all, she originally had an enviable career, family, and social status... How many people couldn't ask for it, but she "supposedly" abandoned it, looking for what self? ! What kind of demand is it worth her to die in this way?
But this is the theme of the movie, and it tells a long story in one go without any deviation from the topic. The hostess spent a year traveling alone, Italy, Bali, India... fell in love with Pisa, practiced yoga, and met true love. Everything is like a fairy tale, which makes people doubt its authenticity. Does such a person and such a way of living really exist?
Look around you, there really are such a group of people who have been on the road, or exiled, or out of curiosity, or taking travel as a way to face their true self. And we, struggling to survive in the cement forest, surrounded by anxiety, don't we occasionally be envious of them? It's just that those are just moments of thought, and few really dare to break the balance of reality. Especially for married people, most people would rather give up the pursuit of self-experience during running-in, and use a peaceful surface to cover up their inner desire to change the status quo. Because there are all kinds of uncertainties about the strange future, I am afraid of breaking the existing peace, but it is not worth the loss.
If happiness is equated with peace, then it makes sense to be content with reality. It's just that most people give up trying, and the outcome cannot be compared. I can't help but think of the scene in "The Bridge of Last Dream": Streep clenched the trembling hand of the car door in the heavy rain. Who knows what will happen if he rushes out of the car?
On the other hand, the heroine, since she was 15 years old, has never stopped falling in love, and she has not even been single for more than two weeks. Because I haven't been alone with myself for a long time, I have to use this journey to face my different emotions and get my own understanding after experiencing the experience. At least this point, I feel the same. Too many times, we are used to playing in the crowd, but we have lost the courage to face it alone. In fact, what does true happiness have to do with others? Fortunately, in the end, the heroine still found inner peace and gained true love. It seems that all the toss and preparations before have the best explanation. The director is going to tell us: all destruction is a new beginning!
More and more women realize that suppressing themselves and pleasing others will only make happiness drift away, and only the life of their choice will be the closest to happiness. The beauty and growth of a woman should not be evaluated by others, but lies in the true belief, the power emanating from the depths of the heart. Happiness is not that simple, but it is not complicated. It's like a person watching "Food, Prayer, and Love" quietly, leaving behind the so-called moral judgments, the meaning of which is only understood by women.
