I think this may be a segment that every woman will experience after middle age, beginning to recall her life and feelings in the first half of her life.

From a psychological point of view, every girl at her initial age will use her mother, the most accessible female individual as the reference object, and then try her best to understand how to become a woman. Among them, there will be worship for the beauty of the mother, such as high heels, such as cosmetics. Then I began to perceive the mother's emotions and how she behaved as a woman. At the same time, girls themselves also have a lot of self-awareness, doubting and disagreeing with certain behaviors of their mothers.

For a long period of time afterwards, the girl may have always believed that she would become a better woman than her mother. Watching my mother no longer put on makeup every day, but was overwhelmed by family life. Youth is no longer, and instead a face of a yellow-faced woman. The girl's disdain for her mother will become more and more obvious. Girls began to frequently explore what they wanted to be. Enter the social circle, get along with, compare, and fall in love with different people.

Until the girl matures and after she has gone through puberty, she will reflect on the role of mother again. Begin to recognize the mother's dedication and understand the significance of the mother's strict requirements. Especially after the girls got married and became pregnant, they began to play the role that the mother once played. They empathized with a series of issues such as family and children, and still tried to take a different path from the mother.

Fortunately, this film was produced in the West.
Pippa can finally find a path that he really wants to take in an absolutely relaxed social atmosphere, even if he doesn't know what the end of the road will be.

And, when she was young and confused, she could meet a mentor-level man Herb, which at least gave her material life and spiritual nourishment, and of course, there were constant nightmares. At the same time, because Herb is old enough.

Just as Herb said to Pippa at the beginning: "You are very cute. Especially if you have a lot of experience, you can still be so cute."

"So, Pippa, when you get to start doing sth about your life?"

Well, I privately thought this The sentence is the classic of the film.

At any time, you can be ready to start your new life. As long as you want.
