Intense conflict in the bland

At the beginning of the film, a patient seeks

a doctor and sees insomnia. This is a symptom, but the cause is very complex and deep, and it cannot be solved by a simple pill. The black doctor is pregnant and the old lady is contrasted , The old and young of life, one will die, one will be in the future, one is a regretful life, and the other is a brand new world. Doctor Hei was quite objective, telling her that the medicine only relieved the symptoms, but was far from eradicating the disease, and insisted that she go to a consultant.

The patient found gerri, and gerrit asked a few questions, which were very critical. It can be seen that the old lady's unfortunate and unhappy life was described by 1--10. She chose 1, and the solution she hoped was a different life. Gerrit said change is difficult, isn't it? It's also critical. No matter how unfortunate, irritable, and depressed the patient is, gerrit did not give more relief, nor did she say a positive word, she just asked questions, and did not guide the patient to think for himself, so I think her counseling was a failure, more important Yes, I think she didn't think from the patient's point of view at all, and she didn't care at all. This kind of indifference is an even more terrifying and ruthless killer. So the patient was disappointed when she left, even though gerri told her to come back next week, I don't think she will. (In a few minutes of footage, the big-name actors' expressions vividly conveyed everything, praise.) Gerri also ignored Mary and looked down on her. Of course, Mary's status was low, and she was just a little boy who couldn't do a good job of his own life. Just a secretary. For example, when Gerri went home and chatted with her husband Tom that day, neither the patient nor Mary was mentioned at the beginning, because they were not worth talking about. From her professional point of view, they are the ones who need help more. indifferent. (Of course, I'm not saying that because of a career, you must destroy your life,)

Geri and Tom both have decent jobs, a good house, a laughing garden, a harmonious and happy family, and a tacit understanding of husband and wife. Satisfaction and satisfaction, both materially and spiritually. The marriage of the only worried son was not too difficult either. Joe has a good appearance and a good job, although Joe himself feels a little depressed when he is behind his peers. At this time, the director chose a trumpet and a guitar for dubbing, which sounds much more optimistic than Mary's violin.

Mary also has her own problems, such as not being able to cook, not taking care of the garden, not going to school, staying up late, watching movies, being stubborn, not improving, change is difficult, isn't it? But there is no way out if you don't change. Mary came to Gerri's house for the first time, Mary brought a gift and dressed up (hoping to meet Joe) They were ok with her, but Mary remembered the wrong place Tom went, and smoked, which is very impressive annoying. And she can avoid it. When Mary said "that's what all boys say", it was obviously inappropriate for a married old man to say it. Tom was unhappy and expressed it with a look. At this time, Gerri was still tolerant and didn't care, but then Mary said it. Several inappropriate words (people around us are actually not that tolerant of our occasional wrong words, so people are often observed to live carefully and safely). Honestly, I don't like that I have a friend like gerri, who cares on the surface, but is actually reluctant to say a word of advice. I don't want to let Tom say it if I don't say it myself, and I don't want others to disturb their usual life. Indifferent, indifferent. However, there are very few friends who are the opposite of geri around everyone, although what they say will be good for personal growth. So, sometimes I really miss the legitimate and reasonable criticism of teachers in the past. Merry was drunk the first time she went to Geri's house. Many scenes showed her pouring wine constantly, and the wine glass was about to leave her hand. And staying at someone's house is very taboo. Just stay, don't brush your teeth, don't wash your face, get drunk, really startle people. In particular, it can be seen that Mary does not have many friends and is extremely eager to talk, and lacks love and support. The unfortunate past and no one to persuade and enlighten me, the expression of self-pity and the tendency to talk are understandable, but unfortunately, the society will not be so tolerant, your emotions cannot affect my life, this is a common phenomenon in society, not only gerri.

When Mary left Gerri's house the next day, she was reluctant to give up. She glanced back at the road to leave, paused, and her eyes suddenly became melancholy. The background music was also cut in appropriately at this time, and the slow piano and violin highlighted the this mood. She thought of a way to say a few more words to prolong her existence in this family, but she always had to leave, and she looked back after walking a long way. This look is so lonely.

When joe appeared on the scene to do his job, he clearly showed his contempt for the person being consulted and his sense of superiority.

Ken can eat and drink, and he is fat. He obviously ate potato chips and drank beer on the train. At dinner, he told gerri&tom that he hadn't eaten for a day. It seems that only when the stomach is full does it seem to fill his empty, distressed and melancholy soul. Ken's mouth is full of nostalgia for the past and dissatisfaction with the youth of the present. Non-stop work is also to enrich oneself, which is at least stronger than Mary. Ken also smoked, drank, and was also drunk, and he also bought drunk. Only when he was drunk did he show his depression and complain that the world abandoned the old man. This is the sincere words of "gaffe" that people don't say normally, but the distance between people is so near and far, and the soul is lonely. In addition, when people are old, they can learn from geri and tom, find something to do in their old age, less recalling the past, less complaining about the world for young people, etc., and moderately focus on children. tom is stronger than geri, mary is gerri's friend, gerri faces mary, especially as she is a psychologist, and does not provide any help, when tom wants to give some advice, for example, mary's past husband is a jerk, geri A softly said "tom" stopped the following, and also said a lot, which can help improve Mary's judgment and make Mary less wrong decisions. And when mary asks for advice, geri is just silent. What a silence! Of course, gerri is also like this to others, a friendly greeting on the face, that's all. Ken is Tom's friend. Tom suggested that Ken go hiking with him. Such a suggestion is a rare help. Unfortunately, Ken didn't agree and he took the initiative to lose a chance to change. It's a pity. I feel lucky to have a friend like Tom. Tom took Ken to the golf again. The 4 people were very happy in that section. The last hole was made by young joe, which was also meaningful. Ken is actually a person with a good character, and he can actually live with him, but his body is a little ugly, which is also the point that Mary doesn't like him, and the most important thing about being Mary, this is the fault of Mary. What's particularly funny is that when jack asked mary cc, she was embarrassed because she didn't understand, so she could only use boy' s stuff made fun of it, and also buried the trouble and economic losses that this car will bring her in the future. She was already relatively poor. This points out Mary's fatal flaw. If she doesn't study, she doesn't seek change, even if everyone around her helps her and points her, it may not be a comedy. And she still chose to smoke on such occasions, which made people stay away from him. Only ken stayed, but she took the initiative to stay away.



tom, joe, ken, etc. are middle class, can play golf, have a pleasant leisure style, and can gather with friends to chat, it is a very good old-age life.



The problem of marrying:

Can't cook, don't go to school, don't take care of the garden, stay up late, watch movies, smoke and drink, stubborn, don't improve. I don't study, I can't speak, I always say the wrong thing, I always do the wrong thing, I always say sorry. Don't be careful, don't control yourself, don't know how to watch words and expressions, lolilaoso speaks at a very fast speed and pushes her own words that have nothing to do with others, she wants to share, but it's a bit too much, sometimes, no one cares about you and your things , actually. Passionate about people she likes, eg joe, and cold to people she doesn't like, like ken, and jack. This one is definitely not likable, although we won't like everyone, we won't make everyone like it, and respect for everyone is the minimum. She always tells others about her unfortunate things, can't find a place, an accident, not everyone is so smart and understands themselves, in fact, human nature is to reject this. Mary came to Gerri's house for the third time, and the embarrassment happened frequently, which proved that Gerri said that Mary is a friend of ours, but it was not. Gerri didn't save face anymore. In order to maintain the relationship between his son and gf, he made mery not step down several times, but why did Mary stay, and he stayed until the end, when people ignored him, he left in anger ? Mary sees Kaitie getting jealous and has been fighting with Katie for a long time, thinking that she can maintain her advantage, but Geri keeps breaking down at this time, and she has never stood by Mary's side. Mary is so embarrassed. When people call her aunty mary, she looks so bitter. But why do you think she hasn't woken up yet, and she blames herself for not bringing anything this time. Mary, the husband and wife, was extremely cold. Gerri replaced the word upsetting with disapointing, which shows that Mary's place in their hearts. After that, the husband and wife decided not to invite her, so Mary's arrival came in the winter.

Tom's older brother's economic conditions are far from the same, but the brotherhood is still there. It's just that with geri and his own home, the center of gravity will be shifted and there will be less communication between hearts. These are all human instincts.

Mary's 4th appearance is very down-to-earth. so poor. Why don't you even have winter clothes? I don't know how to understand the conversation between mary and ronnie.
Finally, the happy family at the dinner table, and ron & mary of others, no matter how close the body is, the soul is still as lonely.



At the end of the movie, there was a dead silence. Only the dry shot was aimed at Mary. What kind of actor could handle it. What is she thinking at this moment?

Everything is flat, but there is so much in it. One year in spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are children, growing up, middle age, old age, and death. There are gains after a year, and loneliness after a year. There are different people's perceptions of others, there are psychological and material changes...all in between. simple is the best.

Wrote a lot in a mess.



Many do not understand. Why?

1. Mary feels that people don't like her, so why does she still rely on gerri to stay with them?

2. Mary's bad points have also been raised, why didn't she change it?

3. I don't understand the second time mary went to geri's house, why joe took the initiative to go to mary to talk to her, using the word flirt is not an exaggeration, and also promised to call mary, which made mary wait so hard?

4. It was the third time that Mary went to Gerri's house, and there were frequent embarrassments. Why did Mary stay there until the end

? 5. I really don't know what Mary should do next? Let's help her out.
