Natural reconciliation

Cake] A movie I saw accidentally a few days ago. It is a feature film starring the goddess Jennifer Aniston.
It is about the daily life of patients with chronic pain in the face of illness and the pain of losing their children.
What I can feel is the real pain. Constantly taking painkillers, drunk, and wanting to walk with me at every step of the movement, lying down and talking carefully when traveling, unintentionally revealing the full of malice to the surroundings, willful handling of the relics of the children at home, and inhaling deeply. Qi has sex with the plumber... She hurts. The pain is unspeakable and lack of expression.
The deepest among them are her several launches. One time it was because she couldn’t sleep because of the pain in the middle of the night. She went to her swimming pool carefully to side-swim, the water waves, the swing of the arms and the yelling in coordination with the movements, it hurts; the other time was in the physiotherapy center, the counselor suggested that it hadn’t been in the past six months. It hurts for any progressing patient to "look for another wiser"-it clearly seems to be living an active life, but the discerning person sees through his inner grief and despair at a glance, that... is it shame? Is it uneasy? Or is it just to escape? It turns out that evasion is so painful.
The last picture is the end of the film. Can be regarded as a reconciliation, the protagonist is a reconciliation of himself and life. However, it was not very deliberate. It was not like many life warriors, riding a tall horse with a sharp sword, proudly throwing a pair of white gloves at the enemy, swearing to fight, and not.
She just, carefully, endured the pain, and walked a little bit forward.
But it makes people look cheered.
This movie reminds me of "Rachel's Wedding", which is a difficult and true mental journey of a drug addict. When she returned home, she dragged her to look back at home, constantly looking back, constantly suffering, and exposing it layer by layer. , But finally got redeemed because of the family's forgiveness.
As a feature film, the latter is better, and as a life experience, the pain of the former is more painful. And the same is the bereaved, she used the phrase "I was a good mother" (she said "once", my understanding is relative to her or "mother" status), so that she was saved, she was self-saving of. So reconciliation comes naturally
