Other people's comments, very classic, to learn. . .

Some stories, we cried and experienced, but finished with a smile. The ups and downs of life are like a Ferris wheel. Although it takes you to the peak of the fantasy world, it is also destined to eventually return to the original point. Next to the splendid and lively entertainment facilities, there is a group of boring ants struggling for life.

The meaning of the Ferris wheel is the life of Ginny, the life of most people. The beautiful and short summer romance is just a passing phantom, and the reality will pull her down from the peak, shatter those extravagant hopes, and return to the mediocre and cumbersome daily life. Although the Ferris wheel is beautiful, it is short-lived, and the fairy tale ending is not for everyone. Even living under a beautiful Ferris wheel is still an abyss of life. Day after day, the Ferris wheel continues to reincarnate, but people can never go back to their original people.

The heroine lives in her own illusory world, and her extramarital affair with Mickey makes the former actress Ginny seem to be living in the script again, and her daily life has also become playing a different role, and it has become not so boring. . The poor family can't afford the children's psychological teacher fees, so they steal her husband's money to buy a watch for her lover. The first husband was lost because he was too scumbag, and he didn't cherish the second one. This kind of person never likes to live a peaceful ordinary life, always looking for romance and passion. I thought the repeated headaches meant she couldn't stand it. What the female protagonist enjoys is not the love with the male protagonist himself, but the passion and excitement that the male protagonist brings to her life, by creating an illusory environment for herself, to realize the reality (annoyed son, boring The end of the story: everyone is back in their lives, the stepdaughter is gone, Ginny's feelings are gone, and the son is still on fire. Mickey goes back to lifeguard to tell us this ridiculous story.

You think that the midsummer when the ears are rubbing together is love, and the garden with rippling love words will like it. You think that a man is a god who saves hopeless love, and that emotion is a love that ripples and stirs fate. The slap in the face of life still can't wake up a woman, and a man can have an epiphany just by watching friends. Thought to climb to the top of the Ferris wheel, it is actually a merry-go-round that cannot be caught. Put on the most beautiful white dress, but point the knife at yourself; burn the most prosperous campfire, and burn yourself to the end. The metaphor of the Ferris wheel is very concrete, very straightforward, and too cruel. The name is the end, and no one should be delusional. Every carriage thinks that it is traveling according to its own wishes. Everyone wants to perform their own dramas, but in the end, what is strong is fate, and how many dying struggles are the inability to extricate themselves in the face of fate. The so-called fate is nothing but a cycle of tragedies created by character flaws...

A hopeless woman encounters a daydream, and a boy's joke makes the heroine automatically make up her own attraction and loyally defend the concept. Many times, the difference between men and women is so obvious. After the authorities are fascinated by bystanders, boys only need to weigh the pros and cons to define love. The definition is impulse or feeling. The poor heroine is still on her 40th birthday and can only say to her rival: man cannot be trusted.

It is assumed that love is the foundation and precondition of marriage, but compared to love, marriage is a relationship that is much larger than love in terms of both outer and inner meanings. In other words, love is only one part of the marriage relationship between husband and wife. Responsibility, morality, etc., which human beings instinctively want to avoid, constitute the siege of marriage. Reflected on the heroine, because of her ignorant view of marriage, she has been in the cognition of marrying the wrong man all her life. It can be said that this is a great tragedy enough to destroy life.

And where is the source of this tragedy? The film also makes a clever reveal of the growing environment. "Does a person's tragedy stem from their own mistakes?" The heroine was born in poverty and dropped out of school because of poverty at a young age. On the other hand, the long-term lack of parental care and the need for extreme longing for love are ignored, which forms this "love-lack personality". From the film "Ferris Wheel", we can probably see the shadow of Ginny's childhood on Richie, the child who loves to set fire. The behavior of "arson" is an extroverted expression of the "lack of love" psychology, but Ginny did not dare to set fire. This psychological need was suppressed for a long time, so she gradually formed a personality of lack of love in her growth. (About the classic characters of the lack of love, the movie "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" has a vivid portrayal) The lack of love shows a kind of extraordinary "going with the flow" emotionally, not only "seeing one and loving one". Tendency, and is deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate itself, it seems that conventional rationality and morality do not work, and even basic judgments are lost.

People can't step into the same river twice, but they often fall into the same pit each time and can't climb out.
