I remember chatting with an African friend before. He said that although he had never been to China, he still had some understanding of China. He liked to watch Jackie Chan's martial arts movies. He knew about Jackie Chan’s son’s misfortunes. He said that he admired Chairman Mao very much. And Deng Xiaoping. He felt that China's huge population, which seems to be a drawback, is precisely the key to promoting China's development and spreading Chinese elements to the world. Mao Zedong established New China, and Deng Xiaoping implemented reform and opening up. After that, Chinese people poured out of the country one after another and infiltrated all countries in the world. While they are changing themselves, they are trying their best to integrate into the new environment and culture, while at the same time they are also influencing and changing the surrounding environment. Those who later choose to return to China continue to influence another part of the Chinese with new ideas and values.
However, the current situation is that the exchange of information is no longer a time of word of mouth, and it is time for very few elites to show up and influence others. The Internet has broken many barriers. People can easily receive thoughts and new trends from different countries through various channels such as movies, music, art, and books, knowing that people on the other side of the sea live like this. Understand that enlightenment can also choose this way. Of course, the cumbersome and diverse amount of information will also make people feel aesthetic fatigue, and obtaining information so easily and quickly will relatively weaken the impact and impact it brings to people. But even the faint light is bright.
McGee, who has a stable career and small accomplishments, is an older, intellectually wise woman, and she enjoys herself in solitude. She wants to be a mother, but she doesn't want marriage and a man, so she plans to conceive a child in vitro and raise the child by herself. But the plan never keeps up with the changes. In the process, she meets Love, a male professor with a wife. McGee was attracted by his talents, and the male professor felt that McGee was his spiritual partner, and they knew each other. So the male professor divorced his powerful and excellent ex-wife, married McGee, and gave birth to a cute little girl. It seems that McGee not only has the child he dreams of, but also an unplanned family and a husband who knows and loves each other.
Although the name of the Hong Kong version is "Small Three Tactics", I don't think McGee is a "Little Three". Because from the beginning to the end, she did not seduce a male protagonist who has a family and a family, and did not take a step beyond the thunder pond. Instead, the male protagonist knelt down and prayed, "Can I sleep in your bed?". Life after marriage is naturally trivial. What remains unchanged is that McGee is still the all-around player, taking care of three children alone (husband and ex-wife have two children, and one of his own children). For the husband who only wanted to write great novels and ignored children and housework, she did not complain too much. She just looked at herself in time. She realized that she did not actually need that man. She and her daughter could do it. Life is very good. So she actually made a plan: to return the man to his ex-wife. In the end, the two women each took what they needed, and only the man in the middle was designed to go round and round. The two women admired each other, and did not stage the conventional drama of "Big Po Fighting Little Three", nor did the storytelling turn into a Lily Opera.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a very feminist movie. A woman chose a gene she admired and liked, gave birth to a child in vitro fertilization, and then cultivated him to enjoy the happiness of being a mother. She always knew what she wanted, and gradually fulfilled her expectations and plans. After walking the wrong path, she suddenly realized that men and marriage were just things she didn't plan. Since the connection between each other is no longer close, why bother to persevere. So she tried to reverse the direction in her lost life and let everything return to its original place. McGee's courage and independence brought her luck. In the seemingly crazy plan, she did not mess up all of this, but gave everyone a "perfect ending." Everything is the same, and the past few years have made the two women understand what they want.
