Is it the projection of the times in life? ?

I can't help but say it again: people can choose the place to live, but they can't choose the era of life.

Don't want to say that people are just particles that follow the waves, the turbulence of the times we show in countless numbers. As long as a few stand on the critical position and stick to the disturbance, it is possible to change the torrent of the times. After all, history is not a science. Maybe the successful disturbances in reality are just chosen by the times. Either you or him, there will always be such a hero who can turn the tide (laughs~), so we may not be just particles following the wave. . "We fought all the way, not to be able to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us." Would Ah Q feel better if he looked at it this way? (*^__^*)

It seems to be going a little too far. This movie is very cute. I still like the sunny characters: the kind Jamie and the brave Abby.
As the first batch of women who came out to work after the war, the heroine seemed to be open-minded to accept new things. She gave birth around the age of forty, and later became a single mother who independently took up childcare. Strong and optimistic is the label that spectators and outsiders are willing to put on her (pause for a while, hahaha)

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
