What is the American university campus like? There is a series of movies called "American Pie", which specifically tells the life on American college campuses. After watching it, the audience just said "Americans dare to shoot anything".
("American School" is the youth enlightenment of many people)
In May of this year, another comedy about American college campuses was released, but this time it was told from the perspective of a middle-aged woman in her 40s.
Dianna, who was in her 40s, divorced and entered the same university with her daughter, taking up university courses that she did not complete. A lot of unspeakable things happened to her on campus, and unspeakable things happened to her daughter's classmates. Americans really dare to shoot anything.
However, after the funny, the movie also inspires people to think: How should a person choose his life in middle age?
Dianna is a middle-aged mother. She is obese and lazy. Whenever she encounters anything that doesn't go well, people around her will make her a sandwich. Usually this sandwich can solve all her problems.
(Middle-aged woman Dianna)
But this time, even if her mother tempted her with various sandwiches, it didn't help.
Because: her husband Dan abandoned her and sent her daughter to university. On their way home, her husband Dan filed a divorce on Diana. He fell in love with Marcy, a real estate agent, and had had enough of Diana.
(Dahe Real Estate Agency Marcy)
Just get a divorce if you get a divorce. Although Dianna was crying very sad and couldn't slow down for a few days, life still had to go on.
She went to her parents' house to find comfort, and both parents firmly supported her. Dad even took out his pistol and almost hit the pet dog by accident.
(Diana’s parents’ house)
Dianna also went to find her best friend, and her friend took her to play basketball and drink.
After returning from her friend's house, Dianna burned all the things of her ex-husband Dan in the room on fire, ready to start a new life.
(Diana burned everything that ex-husband Dan left at home)
In the end, Dianna made a decision: She was going to school. She dropped out of college because she was pregnant. It was equivalent to sacrificing her career for her ex-husband Dan. Now, she wants to make up for herself.
Just do it, a 40-year-old female student came to the campus and became classmates with her daughter.
(Diana, in her 40s, is on the university campus)
The film entered the highlight at this time.
Of course, college life must have a party (party). Alcohol, music, and a fascinating body are youth.
Soon, Dianna joined her daughter's party. After her daughter helped her slightly dress up, she glowed with new vitality.
(Before dressing up)
(After dressing up)
The show just started. After drinking a few glasses of pure whiskey, Dianna let go. Not only could he keep up with the slogans shouted by the young man, but he also met Jack, a handsome man in the Brotherhood.
(Handsome Jack from the Brotherhood)
Early the next morning, Dianna and her daughter McGrady came out of the fraternity dormitory at the same time. Daughter McGrady couldn’t help complaining along the way and made a nauseous gesture...
Of course, college is more than just talking about love.
Dianna had to face the pressure of studying. After all, she was already in her 40s, and her head was not as bright as she was when she was young. In the mid-term test, the test question was to give a keynote speech on stage, and Dianna finally fainted on the stage because of excessive tension.
(Diana fainted on the podium)
In addition to the pressure of studying, Diana also has the pressure to get along with her classmates. Of course, her daughter's classmates are very good, but there are always some girls who love vanity and bully people. They regard Diana as a monster and fight against her everywhere.
(The vanity-loving girl is against Deanna)
After all, Dianna has withstood these tests, and at the same time helped her little girlfriends (more than twenty years younger than herself) build self-confidence.
(Diana helped her girlfriends build self-confidence in a few words)
Finally, Diana was also absorbed into the Sisterhood (corresponding to the Brotherhood, which is the little gang of girls on the college campus) because of her good popularity and her daughter's classmates liked her.
(Diana was absorbed into the sorority)
The climax of the film: After Diana entered the sorority club, she and the girls decided to celebrate that night. As a result, they accidentally ate biscuits containing marijuana at a party and had hallucinations.
Because of this impulsiveness, they went to the ex-husband's wedding scene and made a big fuss.
(Diana brought her girlfriends to the ex-husband’s wedding scene)
Not only did the wedding scene become a mess, before that, Dianna also told Dan's current incumbent, that is, to snatch her husband's real estate agent Marcy: "I have had a relationship with your son, many times." At this time, no matter how much Marcy showed off her relationship with Dan, she was killed in seconds.
(Dianna tells Marcy that he had a relationship with Marcy's son Jack)
The result of the uproar: ex-husband Dan no longer bears her tuition, she faces the dilemma of dropping out.
At the critical moment, the sisters of the sorority association thought of a way: to engage in a party selling tickets, saying that the singer Christina would come to the scene.
As a result, students and fans from all walks of life who saw the news on the Internet came one after another, and a lot of tickets were collected, but Christina couldn't come.
There must be a way to the mountain. Dianna’s roommate helped a lot. This weird and light-sensitive roommate who never goes out of the dormitory is turned out to be the cousin of singer Christina, a cousin like her own sister. Please come to the rescue.
(Weird roommate who helped a lot at critical moments)
The semester is about to end, Dianna has also graduated, and the film ends in a joyous atmosphere.
The film tells the audience: In modern society, women should be independent and pursue their own happiness.
Who said that women in their 40s cannot have happy youth and crazy parties? No, not only can you have crazy parties, but you can also have a handsome boyfriend who is half your age.
(University crazy party attended by Dianna)
(Diana rolls and dives at the lively party scene)
Feminism in the United States already has a very mature system, and this film is a further advocacy of feminism. Although the movie score is not high, the plot is funny and thought-provoking, which is enough.
This is a comedy that can quickly adjust the mood. Leave me a comment if you want to watch it.
