The immediate feeling this movie gives me is a kind of French elegance. The heroine still exudes her inner strength when facing some "objective laws" that are not understood by the children growing up; the work is not smooth, the husband cheats, the parents die, and others are not understood. Even if she is crying, I think she is very beautiful. Besides, she is middle-aged and is estimated to be forty or fifty years old. She still thinks that she is free. What awaits her is a new experience and exploration, not Death is something I appreciate very much. I don't know if I will still have such courage and curiosity about the world when I reach that age, whether I will feel "forget it" and "it's at this age." I may feel very lonely in a kind of relationship that you have carefully managed to dissipate, change, and leave. Once alone, I was not used to responsibility. After I got used to it, I started to lose it and returned to my life. At that time, it was difficult for me to say whether this "second freedom in life" was still what I wanted. Maybe I wanted someone to accompany me, even if I had no feelings. It was better than being alone. I always say that this time is very precious. It has been 4 years since I was 18 years old and before I got married. I am really happy and content. In the future, I will have work to accompany me. I am looking forward to what kind of changes I will have and what kind of me will be explored. Therefore, in the fog of anxiety of peers, I hope that I can still be the sun, full of energy and positive energy!

Fortunately, like the heroine, I have books to accompany me, which can't help but give me a feeling: In today's epidemic situation, I always want to improve my social ability through practice, but perhaps, in such an era, we should look inward? Continue to enrich yourself, constantly understand all aspects, arm yourself with your own thoughts and mentality, and when the weather is fine, it is the day to show your skills.
