Middle-aged man's family crisis

Everett 2022-04-20 09:02:23

The male protagonist is the owner of a tropical fish shop. Some weak, some innocent, very peaceful. The configuration of the old and the people.
The second marriage married a young and beautiful woman. The woman would smoke behind the male lead and buy some convenience food for the male lead. As a result, the male lead had a bad stomach and often vomited and refused to have sex with the male lead. It seems that she is not satisfied with her current life
, her own daughter, who is quite rebellious, beats and scolds her stepmother, refuses to accept her father's discipline, and steals from the supermarket.
Needless to say, the male protagonist's career is flat. The seemingly peaceful family is actually full of crises, and the solution to the mid-life crisis is often derailment, but this "derailment" has gone a bit far.
The big boss Murata came out with a smile, and his appearance accelerated the derailment of the male protagonist, the male protagonist's wife, and the daughter's "infidelity"
(personally think their family will derail sooner or later) a whole family derailment. The male protagonist once had a wonderful fantasy. He took his wife and daughter to the planetarium with his whole family in harmony. It was a very simple and simple fantasy. How could it be so difficult to realize? It is often difficult to like things, and people are the most difficult to control.
The big boss Murata and his wife, the money-grabbing couple who see through human nature, brought unprecedented education to the male protagonist. The big boss Murata educates the male protagonist like a son. The male protagonist wants to be a teacher. Just because he wants to be a teacher, he finds that the root cause of the disharmony in his family is his inaction. For the first time, he used a super violent way to control himself. family. In the end, I think he is out of control, he can't really train, he can't become a big boss, he can only learn the violence behind the big boss, and he can't learn to laugh in front of people. He is broken!
This is an unusual family drama, and it is also the helplessness of many families. As I get older, I know how much I am capable of and what I can do. Although life is still too early to end, I can see the end at a glance. At this time, it is often "derailed", and the derailment is one's own life itself, which has
left the original track.
Looking back at the play, whether the male protagonist "derailed" is good or bad, I personally think it is good for the male protagonist to cheat. At least in the end, the male protagonist has the courage to face the pain in life.
