In fact, it has been more than half a month since I watched this film. Every time I think about it, there are still many scenes, especially Brad's tossing and turning in the middle of the night when he was sleepless. My son embarked on a university study tour in Boston... The funny thing is, it's summer vacation. In reality, there are many parents in Chinese metropolises who are accompanying their children or letting their children go to that city by themselves. Exploring future dreams. How many Chinese Brads will there be during this period?
unknown.
I saw a movie review saying that this is a movie suitable for middle-aged men at home, or for audiences who are middle-aged and emotional. In fact, people who are not middle-aged, if you have that kind of mood, you will like it. And if you're not that kind of personality, you'll feel cumbersome and nagging, and refuse to start in the first place.
A middle-aged man in his 40s, the first half of the journey went smoothly. He pointed out the country with his classmates in college, met the girl he liked, followed his dream and went to work in another city. Because of his ideals and feelings, he chose the one that was not too good. Multi-aura non-profit work. In the first half of life, because ideals are feelings and love, so when people reach middle age, they can live a well-off life with a house, a car, a lover, and children. In this way, in fact, he should have realized his ideal.
The turning point came from the fact that he took a few more glances at the outside world. In fact, he was just a few old classmates who were active in writing together. All of them were worth a lot of money. There were White House politicians who were on TV every day, and entrepreneurs who had private jets or private beaches. There are also big directors who are no longer in the limelight of his circle, and the wedding has automatically ignored him. In Brad's eyes, it's because he's not that class anymore. The proper positioning of the middle class made him unable to accept the epiphany for a while. But has he ever thought that he has never pursued not having a middle class?
You haven't changed the world, and the world hasn't changed you.
Accompanying his son on a trip to Boston, he suddenly began to want to change. I want to upgrade and take the first class, but because I bought a discounted ticket, I don't even have the opportunity to pay for an upgrade. In the midst of the vast sky, I realized that my son had a chance to be admitted to Harvard and honor his ancestors, so there was hope again in an instant. The most classic is that his son introduced Haval junior sister to him, who is youthful, beautiful, and longing for life, which made him instantly return to the past. It fell into the night and couldn't sleep, so I made excuses to go out to meet the girl, but because I was too real and too idealistic, I told the girl a lot of the process of disillusioning my ideals along the way. . . The girl's sense of admiration for him gradually disappeared, and finally she sent him a sentence, "At fifty years old, do you still think the world revolves around you?", which completely defeated him. . .
In fact, he was not defeated, he still found himself, the "hypocritical" self in the eyes of girls. There is still a trace of his youthful youth, but in fact, as long as he is willing to change himself, he can completely try another way. But he won't change because he has a contented wife who loves him and a 17-year-old son who can say to him, "Everyone only cares about themselves, the only one who cares about you is me." His life will be continued, this is enough, in fact, you are not that important to this world.
This is actually the past of every ordinary person in all living beings, from the longing of the past to the recollection after the passing. Ben Stiller can go to the next film, how about you?
