From the beginning, I hated Olive. After watching it, I still hate Olive. I looked through a lot of film reviews to find those who hated her, but everyone associates her with words such as sincerity, freedom, and intelligence. But I think it is self-righteous to think that others are too stupid.
But I still gave the show five stars because Olive's image is too three-dimensional.
[She likes to speculate on other people's thoughts too much self-righteously]
I don't know what kind of atmosphere people are motivated by, and they will interpret this as blunt. In the first episode of the old employee's death, Olive said at the dinner table don't pretend to be sad, you obviously can't stand the old woman, now you are free, you can find someone younger and so on. Henry may hate the old man, but not to the point of wishing her to die. From the perspective of evil human nature, maybe Henry has this idea in his mind, or maybe he has never thought of it himself. The probability of this idea exists is less than 50%. And Olive is the kind of person who is a rude person who connects cause and effect, without hesitation and self-righteousness to say it maliciously, this is fatal.
Maybe you can praise her for wearing her own clothes at her son's wedding, which I appreciate. However, people who start talking about their daughter-in-law just from one side are not good. Say something bad about this person. Of course, the daughter-in-law did secretly say that she was difficult to get along with, but it was Olive's stereotype and liked to judge things right away. She also took revenge on her daughter-in-law in a very childish way.
【Failed family education and moral kidnapping】
As Christopher said in the fourth episode, he was afraid of his mother's emotional changes. His mother slapped him a lot, and Olive's response was: In our day, it was normal for children to be slapped. Friends, isn't this answer the same as the Chinese parents you criticize online every day? Why was Olive so tolerant to her when she came here.
She has been morally kidnapping Christopher.
Henry Alzheimer's Christopher came to see his father, and she thought that her son did not say more than three words to his father, etc., and said a lot of things that hurt her son. When his son said that he was suffering in his childhood receiving psychotherapy, he turned around and said that he had just lost the person he loved the most and was kidnapped and almost lost his life.
Going to my son's house for a week is also there, moral kidnapping.
There is also one episode that I am particularly impressed with, which I think is ironic. Oliver told his son that his dad had committed suicide and had depression or something. The son asked what depression was, and she didn't explain it. The grown-up son suffered from depression.
Saying that psychiatrists are all lies, and always insist on not seeing a psychiatrist. Nor do I believe anything in the new age. In short, she has so much that I hate about her. I don't understand why people like her so much.
[She and Henry said I love you to each other for the sake of a better life for both of them, deceiving themselves with the illusion of getting true love]
Because they all have people they like. Oliver's crush dies in a car accident. This man is very similar to her,
But obviously, the more similar people are, the more they will be hurt. One of Olive's tragedies is also the loss of true love after gaining courage.
Henry likes female shop assistants. I saw someone saying that Henry is greasy, Henry is not greasy, his kindness is sincere. She has kindness to all women. At the juncture of being kidnapped, I told the kidnappers to help my wife tidy up her clothes. She was a little disheveled. So romantic.
Only when I saw Henry and the clerk smiling so happily did I know what it was like to be truly happy. He is not the extraordinary person that the public thinks, just a simple lust, kind-hearted, "not worth mentioning". And Henry would restrain his emotions.
Therefore, when Oliver and Henry were both destined not to be with the person they liked, the two could only depend on each other. When people are more lonely, the more they want to have spiritual support, the more they want to be loved. In order to live a good life, lonely people must learn to find reasons for themselves. Oliver gave himself the reason: I love Henry.
But she didn't.
So much so that in the end she thought she had succeeded in deceiving herself. And most people in this world are also like this. In self-deception, they have forgotten their original thoughts. How could I not love the person who has been with me all my life? If the answer is no, it's even more heartbreaking.
At the end of the episode, the new acquaintance of the old man said: When people disappear, their shortcomings also disappear, right?
Is such that. But many things won't, she won't hurt her son, and her father won't hurt her. The love in the family will be passed on, and the hurt will be passed on too.
Lonely people keep each other warm: widowed Oliver and old man
Hurt children keep each other warm: Oliver and Ann
People who are not in love pretend to be in love: all couples
And what about those who committed suicide? They also died from excessive injuries.
In this society, who is hurting whom?
