Sometimes people fall asleep before the film ends. Sometimes, it is the end of the film, and people are still full of energy. It has nothing to do with it, it only has to do with the exhaustion of the day.
Someone couldn't understand why I was attracted by this dull and fussy movie. There is no hero, no hatred, no eye-catching action, no fascinating plot. The movie flows monotonously like a stream, and even in the first half, I can't even tell the significance of it. I am a person who can never remember the face of a celebrity. If no one told me, I would never know that the heroine is Meg Ryan. But I watched it with gusto until someone who had fallen asleep thought that Dora's exaggerated and humorous screams during childbirth were too noisy, and I had to turn off the sound.
But in a delivery room filled with blue sky and white clouds, the scenes of four women embracing each other in panic and surprise, comforting and congratulating each other, even if their voices are faint, they are full of warmth.

In the mouth of the perfume girl, the reason for the derailment is described as: wives are busy with social activities, but they ignore the husband who should pay more attention. However, in the end Mary finally perfected herself through a successful career, which is a bit vague. The reason for the man's return is to rediscover Mary's brilliance, or simply because of love. It is a bit difficult to find the answer from the image of the husband that exists only in voice and narration.
Under Mary's aura, her friends seemed more representative. Over time, the successful magazine editor Sylvia had to more or less give way to the thriving newcomers. Generally, in such plots, I always see more of the unwillingness and cruel reality of the giver, which makes me feel more depressed for others. But seeing Sylvia choked on the phone but tried her best to express agreement with the newcomer’s point of view, perhaps because of the warm lighting, I paid more attention to the growth after hard work, and saw the tolerance and maturity mentality, I couldn’t help but smile. Relieved.
Dora, the brave mother of several children, finally has a son after a painful and humorous production battle at the end of the film. And Alex, who always looked like a man, was asked to accompany him into the delivery room, and finally reached the end in a panic. What would she think in her heart? You might think that being so happy is also good to be a woman. The contrast between the tragic production scene and the happy smile of the mother should make her more or less identify with her gender, right?
Surprisingly, such a straightforward narrative, full of small scenes in life, is so deeply rooted in my heart. Those who like to find some small surprises for themselves, welcome to give it a try.
