"If I lose my job, I lose myself; but if I lose my family, it means I lose everything."

After thinking about it for a long time, I found that it took too long to write an article. I didn't even have the inspiration to pick a title for my review. For the time being, I will put the sentence that touched me the most in the movie as my title, so that I don't need to write "hypocritically"-the inscription.

To be honest, after watching the movie, I really don’t like the title of the movie "Kate’s Diary of an Affair". I don’t know if it was translated like this for a gimmick. Our Kate never had an affair, although we were watching the movie several times. Always think she is going to cheat.

Kate in the play is very handy at work, well appreciated by her boss, and often needs to travel on business. The busyness of work makes her often have to break her promise to her daughter. In the eyes of the mother circle of full-time wives and kindergarten teachers, Kate is an incompetent mother. The sharp decline in intercourse, often mentioned work and male colleagues, neglect to take care of children, resulting in dissatisfaction with the husband. But Kate's heart is always family-oriented, just like her last choice. At the same time, she did not give up her job. As she explained to her boss at the end of the play, "If you think I am not capable enough, you can fire me, but I will not give up my career..."

When her assistant Momo became pregnant, Kate heartily blessed her and said to her: "I know that in your eyes, I have no personality. I am full of lice and have no time to take care of. Dandruff still flies into your mouth. I have only two children, but look. It seems to have raised six children. The messy things in the bag are all children’s things. Even the eyebrows are not repaired. It is simply a live advertisement for family planning. I know, but this is not entirely true. Family life is also full of life. With joy."

If Kate can give up the high demands on himself in his career, maybe life will be much more comfortable. But as the saying goes, fish and bear's paws are not compatible, and you have to give up. Hollywood-style movies generally follow this routine. When a person's work reaches its peak, the personal life that follows is a mess. The rebuke of the husband, the incomprehension of the children. The protagonist will often fall into a low ebb along with the plot of the movie. However, they will always make the right choice. Most movies not only need a happy end, but also want to inspire others, don't they?

Kate skipped the weekend meeting arranged by her boss. When the boss asked her the reason, she finally said: Because I want to accompany my child to make a snowman. This is the promise she owed, and this time, she chose to honor it. This also verifies the unchanging truth that the family is everything to women.

Reasons that don’t matter even if you lose your job:

No. 1: Work and life, I can’t spend my time on one of them;

No. 2: Women don’t have to demand themselves by men’s standards (Try to be a man is a waste of woman) );

No.3: The children will grow up soon, and there will be many growth moments

that I have missed; this is the reason for kate. In the final analysis, there is only this sentence Kate said to her husband at the end of the play:

Me without Job isn't Me, And Me without you and Ben and Emily......is Nothing.



You can’t stop a woman from caring about her family and children, Even if there are many other things that seem important.

To be a scorching strong woman in the workplace, or a gentle and virtuous mother and wife? Or how to find the greatest balance between the two. This issue has become a hot topic in society ever since the liberation of women and leaving the family to enter the workplace, and being known as "half the sky", the hot topics in film and television have been debated Endless topics. I think every girl will consider where she will sit in the future before getting married. Especially for women engaged in finance, news, and commerce, the pressure brought by their careers is greater, and the matters and contacts they contact are more complicated. Very easy to be tempted by the outside world, very easy to lose themselves, very easy to alienate from the family, very easy to end up in a situation of "rebellion and separation from relatives". This is also very common in reality.

I thought that at the end of the film, Kate ended up being quit by the boss, and she finally understood the importance of the family to her and returned to the family. But obviously my ideas are very outdated. It's kind of ridiculous. In the end, because of Kate's career success, the boss had to compromise on her "skip". As long as a person has strength, he will have weight in his words and actions. With the understanding and support of her husband, Kate chose a different lifestyle and chose to leave more important moments to share with his family. At the end of the film, a balance is reached, a perfect balance. This is the ending that Hollywood movies like and make good use of. Let us, as the audience, seem to have given us a shot in the heart-----we can do it too.

Tell me about myself.

One of my dreams was to do work related to news anchors, which is a kind of high-intensity and time-sensitive work. But I know that I just like the feeling of having a microphone, and someone with a lazy personality like me is definitely not suitable for fast-paced pace. Pursuing a slow-tuned, comfortable and poetic life is my ideal. Therefore, the office, business trips, entertainment, and overtime will not be related to me. Although I'm not sure what I will do in the future, I know the way I work. I have also said that the most precious life to me is time and family. Time is important because the time to spend with family is limited.

I have a lot of ambitions, but I feel very imaginary. The reason for this is that as long as I have conflicts with my family or family, I will probably choose to give up.

My ideal is to be able to run a business with my family in the future, take care of it together, share joys and sorrows together, and share weal and woe. Work together, communicate, solve together, and take care of each other and the whole family. This is my wish. In my spare time, I can still slowly realize many of my dreams to be fulfilled. Although everyone says that 20-30 is the golden age of a lifetime, I agree with this view. But if you can use this golden time for self-precipitation and wait until middle age to show your many years of achievements, it will be like the feeling of holding out the aged wine at home, you should be more happy. And the joy at this time has a cornerstone, steady joy.

Recently, I have always pressed myself very tightly, for the GPA, for the plan of studying abroad, and for many goals. I know that this winter vacation, I need to vacate myself and re-adjust my pace. Because, like Kate, I also need to find a balance in my life-a perfect balance.

I Don't Know How She Does It quotes

  • Momo Hahn: I did have a fish once, but then he kept looking at me with these eyes, like, 'feed me!' So I flushed him.

  • Allison Henderson: At work, when you act like 'one of the boys', they call you abrasive and difficult. So, if you act like a woman, they say you're emotional and difficult. So, difficult is really just the word for anything that isn't a man.
