"When I think about the kids leaving, my husband abandoning me, my mother dying, and I'm finding my freedom again, totally free, I've never experienced anything like this, it's amazing." I was drawn to this line come. There are almost all film reviews, "spiritual wealth, inner strength, French elegance, middle-aged healing", with so many labels, I thought I would see a woman who is tough and independent in the midst of misfortune, gets rid of the shackles of identity, and enjoys freedom. After reading it, I was really disappointed. Maybe there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Where is the so-called spiritual abundance reflected? Is it the book that you never put down in your hand? Or still hold flowers no matter how bad life is? Or maybe floral dresses, lawns, elegant dresses? Is it about calmly facing her husband's cheating but throwing flowers into the trash can angrily, or when she sees her husband and lover outside the bus window after dealing with her mother's funeral. She tried her best to maintain a calm appearance and suppressed her emotions, but had she ever faced her heart? In the face of her husband's betrayal, she said to the students, "My life is not a complete failure, I have a full intellectual life", and said the above paragraph on the way to visit the students. But is this convincing? Why didn't I feel a little bit of the ease and joy that I got from freedom, but instead, it was more like to show others that I didn't care, denying the hurt and trying to cover up the real sadness. Is the freedom she speaks of the freedom she longs for? If so, why when the schoolgirl asked her what she thought about questioning writers, she said she didn't have any, she was too old to be a radical, she fought, but that has changed. Just like worrying that Pandora cannot survive in the wild, she has the heart to try to experience freedom, but when she faces freedom, she finds that this freedom is not something she can adapt to. When the veil was lifted by the male student, she could only use the poor excuse of leaking water at home to flee in a panic. As the students put it, "You only care about how you live your life every day, and don't let it compromise your values. But it's unacceptable to let your mind get out of control and lead to a huge change in your life." The end of the film, facing loneliness The husband of one person is in a hurry to drive him out of the house. After 25 years of relationship, he has not been able to stay for a Christmas, which also indicates that the heroine has never let go. With her baby in her arms, a lullaby sing-along, and a return to her established role-playing, her quest for freedom seems to have vanished. Finally, I want to ask a question. At the 1 hour and 30 minutes of the movie, there is a male student with a cheeky expression. What are your guesses after watching this movie?
