Middle age is the cliff of life

Those who leave are just leaving, and will not add freedom to those who stay. The husband moved away, the children grew up, the mother passed away, the black cat was given away, the textbooks were not renewed... These are all messy and vulgar life scenes, which cannot be lived up to, but that is another story. We seem rational and calm, try to be good people with principles, and even show charm occasionally, but it is far from being able to let go. Divorce is handled sparingly, and perhaps the same burden of upbringing—in the midst of sentimentality, setbacks, and even calamities, one can’t be too rude or outrageous (including at the heroine’s own mother’s funeral). The most popular is that the ex-husband took Levinas and Buber's book, as well as the notes in the book. If you break up and separate, you will also need to divide the book, "What a bastard!"

The heroine takes a break from the world. The Vercors mountains are beautiful. For this kind of utopian mountain village commune experiment, the lens is poetic, the natural scenery is comfortable and pleasant, all the members are young, beautiful and friendly, and they have a harmonious relationship with the villagers, even the collision of ideas. Kind and cordial, harmony is more than criticism, even the living room layout of the commune, the large book wall, also refer to the living room of the female protagonist's middle class. It's too much rubbish.

Things to Come (2016)

The proud disciple is as beautiful as a male god, physically and spiritually, he is the ideal son of the heroine. Of course, a lover is better, but no. As soon as the viewpoints fight, the charm dissipates. Is the unity of knowledge and action limited to the private sphere? of course not. Will unprecedented freedom come? of course not. The last piece of marijuana is released, and that's it. The heroine is still teaching students to read Rousseau at the end credits. We embrace reason, and we also need human emotions. Sometimes we have to rely on strong imagination to invent real happiness in hope. It is indeed the salt of the world.
