The love between Harvey and Kate, two frustrated middle-aged people, is warm, and some old-fashioned plots can also be integrated into its story. But what surprised me the most should be the ups and downs of the plot, which metaphorically means that there is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the effect of another village is coming.
I have always felt that Harvey is a somewhat selfish middle-aged man, whose obsession with music has cost him his family, and his serious personality has some compromises that have been honed in society. So at the party before the wedding, even if her seat was ranked last, even if her daughter told her that she wanted her stepfather to be the giver of the wedding, Harvey had compromised, but the reason for the compromise was that he could not be complete. to attend her daughter's wedding. His hope remained on his job until he was told he was fired, and the great disappointment made him feel hopeless.
Kate is a person who is afraid of loneliness. She is single because of her mother. She really hopes to have someone to accompany her. As an ordinary employee under the National Bureau of Statistics, she does a job where she has to deal with people every day. She hopes to participate in writing classes. I can write a novel by myself, but in fact, I hope that I can be less lonely.
There are two plots in the movie: when Kate was on a blind date, the blind date met a friend who was alcoholic and meaty, so they talked very much but ignored Kate, so Kate chose to leave silently; When the dance started, Kate sat alone, so she left silently, not forgetting to let the children around her sleep more comfortably.
Whenever she becomes a person in the crowd, Kate will leave silently. It's grown-up maturity without the sour coquetry and artificial rage, and the love between grown-ups has a time-tested mellowness that doesn't need those explosive flavors.
When Harvey asked about her ideal day and said he wanted to be with her, Kate didn't say no. Their love started from here.
Love chapters always have a couple of twists and turns. After meeting each other, he missed the appointment for various reasons. Harvey was admitted to the hospital because of an irregular heartbeat. Although he said many times that he wanted to leave, it was a pity that he stayed there. Maybe he If I were 30 years younger, the plot would have been changed to just pulling the needle out of my arm and rushing out of the hospital. Kate returned to her original life because of Harvey's missed appointment. At the end of the plot, she even said that the person who missed her appointment was herself, but unfortunately, she couldn't deceive a lie after all. Harvey's last chance came.
The entire film is titled "Harvey's Last Chance," a pun, with the first half referring to work and the second half referring to love. Harvey gave up his job to pursue his own love, does it mean that he has a new purpose in life?
I think the best way to explain it is to use a conversation with Harvey's ex-wife.
Harvey: why'd you marry me?
Ex-wife: I was-I was very young, and you are lots of fun
Harvey: And how is Brain? Is he fun?
Ex-wife: He thinks i am fun.
