When I finished watching this film, my mother’s first phase of chemotherapy had ended. At this time, the cancer had greatly changed her mother, her speech became weak, her diet lost her appetite, and the same thing was that she would still find a few in the afternoon as long as conditions permit. A gathering of Ma friends.

In the film, Alan grew up in a small college town. As an outstanding graduate of Harvard, she found a good job in New York and lived a full and rich life. One day, she went home to visit her middle-aged parents, but was told that her mother had cancer. Her father hoped that Allen could go home to take care of her mother. Allen reluctantly returned to her parents. Gradually, the relationship between mother and daughter that was strangely changed had subtle changes, and the most authentic aspects of her family’s past and present lives appeared before her eyes. The mother is not the weak and timid and inaction she once thought, but a smart and strong woman. Discovered many dark secrets of his father. The mother went away peacefully, but Allen was sued for murdering her mother. The ending of the story is very intriguing: Alan, who has experienced all kinds of right and wrong, finally sees his true desire in his heart, and chooses the life he wants.

Life is always so simple and complicated. What is not simple is the tension of actress Meryl Streep, what is not complicated is also her natural understanding of life, so that when I typed this text , There are still clearly the cute mother with two pigtails playing Alice, and the scrawny mother with thinning hair lying in the bathtub and unwilling to ask her daughter for help.

I can't say too much, I have burst into tears, there is only once in my life, my ordinary and tacky mother, how should I face your departure.
