Another film about a midlife crisis! I think the male protagonist is in his 40s. He runs a non-profit organization. This is also the career he wants, but it should be tepid, without much income and development. His subordinates resigned him, his former friends all alienated him, and he heard about the wedding of gay friends from other people!
He was envious of his former brothers, a government background who talked on TV every day; a private jet, a blond wife, and several children; a successful investment, early retirement, and hugs on the island! He envied them, thinking that he could be like them too!
He went to school with his son for an interview. Looking at his son's friends, girls full of enthusiasm and ideals, he seemed to see what he was like back then. He told the girl not to give up the opportunity to make money for the ideal, but to face the social reality! In fact, this is what he said to himself. The girl told him that in fact, he had lived the way he wanted, so don't feel sorry for yourself! This woke him up in part.
When he learned that his brother's private jet was rented and his daughter was seriously ill; his friends on the island were still continuing their careers and did not retire; his friends who appeared frequently on TV never regarded him as a comparison object from beginning to end. What is the turbulence in his heart, I think he still can't get inner peace!
His son, so sensible and calm, is not what he should be at his age. He should be satisfied to have such a child.
In terms of family background, he should also be middle class, even if his career is not very successful, at least what he does is his original intention and his own dream! His wife is also ideal! The so-called mid-life crisis is actually just a psychological disturbance! If you do it all over again, can you achieve the enviable so-called success like other friends!
Ben Stiller's acting skills are really nothing to say, a vivid image of a middle-aged man. This film also resonates with me as a 30-year-old man!
Once upon a time, my dream was to open a coffee shop, play my favorite music, read my favorite book, and decorate it according to my own preferences! Give strangers a place to rest and chat with acquaintances about the topic of the South and the North!
But so far, I don't have the courage to do what I like like the male protagonist! Over 30 years old, nothing has been accomplished! I also looked at my classmates, my friend's career was successful and soaring, and I was at a loss! Now that I've found something that interests me, I'm sticking to it myself! They will also talk to me, hoping to be the same as me and have their own perseverance. Now my mentality has really calmed down a lot. I am content and cherish the blessings.
But at the moment when I am obsessed with doing what I like, I also ignore some things around me. I feel that my mentality has changed, and my maturity has not been able to carry this change. This is my current mid-life crisis!
A person's character determines the direction, and even if you do something that doesn't match your character, it won't have a good result! The ass decides the brain, the ass is sitting in the position of the 30s, trying to do the things of the 20s, always twisting!
Standing at 30, 40 is not confused, and 50 is aware of the destiny. I am not standing at 30. I think it is impossible to be at 40 without being confused. Maybe only the year of knowing the destiny is real!
The current mid-life crisis may only be a small thing. When I am over 40, the career I am engaged in no longer needs me, the children grow up, the mind is independent, and I no longer need me. At that time, I really faced the mid-life crisis. How will you feel then?
Mid-life crisis, there is no way to escape, I hope to be like the male lead, through a trip, some encounters can be relieved!
