This is a movie about a midlife crisis. No wonder I didn't understand it after watching it once. I couldn't understand it with my current qualifications - my experience is still shallow. However, as a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, I always have a way to finish the movie without fast-forwarding the whole process, that is, I look up to Nicolas Cage's handsome face. Yes, you heard that right, Nicolas Cage, not Nicholas Hoult, although I did watch this movie for Hoult. Hoult is too young in the play, so cute that I have a nosebleed on my face. I'm not like the counselor who doesn't even let the lady go. No, saying that he blamed Shu has sullied these three words. I would say that I also specifically googled the relationship between Cage and Hoult. Maybe it was an illegitimate child. It turns out that I thought too much. They just have the same surname.
The male protagonist is a person who is proud in the workplace and frustrated in love. Like the male protagonists in many families, he is facing the embarrassing situation of this age. His wife divorced him, his son was admitted to a juvenile institution for smoking marijuana, his daughter was ridiculed by classmates because of her obesity, his father was terminally ill, and all the troubles in life seemed to be bestowed on him by an unfair fate . He was suffering from inner torment, and the idea of ​​wanting to get back with his ex-wife came into being. The things that had turned a little bit were screwed up by his impulse. Lack of trust between husband and wife is a taboo in a love life. It is undeniable that his motives for reconciliation are pure and pure, to provide children with a home harbor and a complete sense of belonging. Sometimes children choose bad habits such as drug use, not because they can't resist the temptation, but just to attract the attention of their parents and hope that they can spend more time on themselves. Marriage is the grave of love, but marriage is by no means the crematorium of the crystallization of love.
Originally, I thought that the ending was that the male protagonist got his ex-wife back and the family lived happily together, but the director turned to the sword and left Cage alone. Looking at it with the eyes of a middle-aged person, it may be more reasonable, but my girl's heart has to bleed silently, and my beautiful vision for love is returned. The words of the male protagonist's father in the play are very enlightening - do you know that what is difficult to do and what should be done are often the same thing. Nothing meaningful is easy, and there is no easy word in adult life. Ever since I escaped the claws of the college entrance examination and encountered difficult things, my first reaction was to escape. I am not a person who has the courage to face reality, although I understand that avoiding it does not mean not having to bear it. I once thought that there would be no more overwhelming troubles after being liberated from the college entrance examination, but I don't know that everything is just the beginning. After going to college, you are faced with a series of academic, career, and family problems. Each stage has tasks and missions for each stage. Time flies wildly in this silent tick.
If difficult things are like solving a mathematical problem, and it brings a sense of accomplishment that people are extremely proud of, then I'm willing to give it a go...

    It's not generally dull, it's much worse than the same type of "American Beauty"~~

The Weather Man quotes

  • Russ: Dave, step back right now.

    Dave Spritz: Fuck you right now.

    Russ: Fuck you, Spritz.

    Dave Spritz: Fuck you, fat asshole! Dildo!

    Robert Spritzel: David, what are you doing?

    Dave Spritz: I'm talking to my wife! I'm talking to Noreen, and this clown whose business this isn't.

    Russ: You call me a dildo, it is my business, Spritz.

    Dave Spritz: You *are* a dildo, pork fuck. You porker!

  • Dave Spritz: I remember once imagining what my life would be like, what I'd be like. I pictured having all these qualities, strong positive qualities that people could pick up on from across the room. But as time passed, few ever became any qualities that I actually had. And all the possibilities I faced and the sorts of people I could be, all of them got reduced every year to fewer and fewer. Until finally they got reduced to one, to who I am. And that's who I am, the weather man.
