Such a cast always makes people think that it is going to be an Olympic game, so many people may be disappointed in its plainness, but if it is only an inspirational film for women, I believe many people will find sympathy.
The story is worth telling, especially for many people who have given up their careers and ideals. The protagonist Bernadette is a "different" housewife. Obviously she is not willing to be a housewife, but she has an escape mentality because she has suffered a career shock. She always sees people around her not pleasing to the eye, and she also feels that they are not pleasing to her eyes, and her life is quite depressing and unhappy. It felt like an old sunflower was left in the rain, lowered his head in frustration, and even got moldy.
It wasn't until one day that she found the happiness and satisfaction of being a professional woman again, only to realize that it was not the people around her that had the problem, but that she had put herself in the wrong place. What she lacks is not psychotherapy or medication, but to go out and work again.
Many women always feel that when they reach a certain age (the scary thing is that some people think that this age is 25), they should give up their career and life and become a mother; some people have encountered various professional setbacks and use marriage and childbirth as an escape. Of course, this does not mean that it is wrong to be a housewife. Some people may be very good at being a housewife and very happy. But for some people, taking care of the family, raising the children, tidying up the house, and cooking delicious food is far from making them happy. Both sides are right, the main thing is to separate people.
Bernadette, the heroine of the film, didn't realize the source of her unhappiness at first, thinking that she did her duty as a mother, but her unhappiness actually affected the whole family. The story tells how a woman breaks through the shackles and finds her own life is still very successful. The audience can clearly see her transformation. But the history of her past as an architect and her trip to Antarctica seemed to take too much time, so it made the whole movie feel procrastinated. The only part of the dispute between her neighbor and Christine Wegg is very exciting. Both actresses are acting online, and this kind of tearing and vividness often happens in life, and it will resonate with many female audiences.
Kristen Wegg can actually act as the heroine of the film, but instead she chose to act as a "housewoman" who is very different from herself, and she is the kind of nosy mouth that she plays very well. vivid.
This role is actually very representative. You can see it in many movies and TV series in the United States. It means that you don’t have a job of your own and put all your enthusiasm and energy into a few square kilometers around your home. I usually talk about neighbors and other children’s mothers in the school, and I love being the chairman of the neighborhood committee and the leader of the parent association. They often find it difficult to understand professional women, but often put forward high "mother standards", believing that women who do not devote themselves to the family, school, children, and community are unqualified mothers and wives.
Since my child went to kindergarten, I have often seen such mothers in his school, usually more than the teacher asks, and often replace the teacher to give various reminders to the parents and organize various gatherings. They are also most active when waiting outside to pick up their children, and they often learn cooking skills with other mothers. It is also often suggested that everyone cooks a dish and then everyone gathers together. Usually, such invitations are completely ignored by me.
It's not that I don't like such mothers, but there is really no common language, and there is no need to force it. There are many women who don't usually think: "What do I want to do today" in their minds, but more other things need to be done. Bernadette, the heroine of the film, is obviously not suitable for living in the suburbs of Seattle. On the contrary, when no one talks to her in Antarctica, and the surrounding quiet is so quiet that only penguins are talking, she regains her long-lost peace. At this time, sitting alone in the theater and no one disturbed me, I deeply felt the joy.
PS: I really like the sunglasses that the big devil wore in this film
