In the first episode, we saw Oliver working hard on the family, while her husband had a great conversation with the young girl in the store, hoping that Oliver could run away from the family. Faced with the sudden death of a pharmacy employee, Oliver said frankly that her husband didn't like the employee at all, and would take the employee's death as a relief. And my husband is like most of the people around us. When he dies, the shortcomings disappear. I actually quite appreciate Olive's directness and her kindness.
Oliver strictly enforces the classroom rules for the children in the class, cares about the mothers of the students who are alcoholic, and saves the women who fall into the water. But other people's discomfort with Olive is so understandable. In the eyes of the hallucinating students, Olive is an eating elephant. That scene made me feel physical discomfort. people's feelings.
Later, I gradually saw that Olive, she always said embarrassing words unabashedly, and could not give positive feedback on the kindness of others. Her existence brought discomfort to the people around her. But she actually cares a lot about the people around her, but she stubbornly insists on the way she thinks is good, and often expresses it in the most ugly words. In the end, the son accuses the mother of the fault, which I think is too cruel for Oliver, far more cruel than anyone else's accusation. When I returned to the hospital, I learned that the medical staff did not take taking care of her husband seriously at all, and that the person she loved was treated as someone who was waiting to die. It was another huge blow to die without anyone caring about it.
At that time, I thought about what my spiritual support could be if I got old. Now I can look forward to a lot of wonderful life to experience. When I get old, the future life will be more and more inconvenient activities, and more illnesses will be afflicted. If the loved one has passed away, and the child feels that he is the source of his pain, what should he rely on to support himself? Thinking of my grandfather, the relationship between my father and my grandfather was not good. Before my grandfather became seriously ill, the relationship between my father and him did not ease much. In this world, my son hates him, and he is sick and sick. What a sad situation.
Olive wanted to kill herself when the dog died as she said, but because of the disturbance of the children, she gave up suicide. The scene of her crying is really touching, seeing the loneliness, desolation and incompatibility under her hard shell. She always obeyed her kindness. Even when she wanted to commit suicide, when she saw the child, she immediately hid the gun because she didn't want the child to be frightened. She said that living in this world made her feel depressed, but she still didn't want to leave this world, maybe because she still had nostalgia, or maybe because she didn't want her children to bear her own pain. I feel like I will live like Olive to some extent, its not good.
