Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere. This is a book that was popular in the bookstore near the campus a few years ago, but I haven't read it. It doesn’t matter whether you have seen it or not. What I have been thinking about is: which one is the better ending to heaven or going everywhere?

If one day, you find that you are not understood by everyone around you, you hate your work and colleagues, you and your husband or wife have almost nothing to say, you find that life no longer has fun and meaning, you are in a daze every day, what will you do?

The 30-year-old Justin chose to have an extramarital affair with Tom, who is 8 years younger than her. He called himself Horton, the actor's name in "The Catcher of McLean". Justin has been married to Phil for seven years. Phil is a marijuana addict. The greatest pleasure is to lie down on the sofa with his best friends and watch TV while sipping beer and commenting loudly. Justin and Phil have been worrying about infertility, and Phil is going to do a sperm test. Of course, Justin and Horton were not together in the end. When Horton became more and more obsessed with being with Justin. When Horton began to fanatically imagine that the two eloped and had a plan of robbery, Justin knew it had to end. After all, there are rules in love. Too fanatic will cause you to be uneasy, so in the end Justin chose to give up and choose to return to daily life.

Someone may think that she has gone back to the past, but with a child, everything will be different after all, and when she comes back again, her vision of her original life will definitely no longer be the same. Perhaps what the movie wants to tell people is that many times people are tired of what they have, but don't have the courage to look for better or worse. When Justin is making a decision, one side is the original life repeated day after day, and the other is the empty road unknown future, where to go, everyone's choice is different, and the choice determines everyone's destiny.

Is there still love between Justin and Phil? Seven years of married life may have obliterated the initial passion, but I clearly saw a lot of details about love. When Justin and Horton said why they didn’t go to college, they said: If I go to school, I can’t be with Phil; Phil’s best friend misses the happy days before, and Justin smiles happily in Horton’s arms; When Er was repairing the TV alone; when Phil accompanied Justin to a Bible study class; when Phil was looking at the bank statement (the statement has a record of Justin swiping the card at the motel); Phil asked if Justin had it When having an affair, he said: Do you also think life is meaningless (to the effect), who said Phil doesn't understand Justin? When Justin assured Phil that the child was his; wait. Can these be said to be not love?

Love is probably like this hiding in the daily bits, but it is easily ignored by the people in it, or everyone thinks it is a long-lasting plot, and then forgot to specially discover and cherish, and then feel annoyed when it is lost.

However, the temptation of the passion of the new life at the beginning to mankind will never die like curiosity. The future is better or worse, who can know it in the morning, everything is uncertain, and life will always move forward.

The Good Girl quotes

  • Holden: [in a letter to Justine] Dear Justine, because of you I will be quitting the Retail Rodeo. The last two days have been the most God awful of my life. I've not been able to get rid of you in my head. I've never wanted anything so bad and I have wanted many things. I'd given up long ago on being gotten by someone else, and then you came along. The idea that I could be gotten because of circumstantial never get got is the worst feeling I've ever felt and I have felt many bad feelings. I'm sorry I can never see you again, Justine. Forgive me for being so weak, but that is who I am. Goodbye. Holden Worther. If, for some reason, you could change your mind and wanna be with me body and soul, meet me after work. I will be waiting for you at 5pm outside Chunky Cheese. If you are not there at five you will never see me again in your lifetime.

  • Justine: That day I read the story Holden had wrote for me. It was kinda different from the other ones but kinda the same. It was about a girl who was put upon, whose job is like a prison, and whose life has lost all meaning. Other people don't get her, especially her husband. One day she meets a boy who is also put upon and they fall in love. After spending their whole lives never getting got, with one look they get each other completely. In the end the girl and the boy run away together into the wilderness, never to be heard from again.
