1. There seems to be political innuendo: the dancing skeleton villain, the heroine's life that she wants to change but cannot change, the man who loses weight with gastric bypass surgery, etc.
2. Seemingly enlightened family: the daughter is pregnant before marriage, and the son is a single father, it seems that it is not a problem. But there are obvious problems. The daughter's disgust for her father, the son's reluctance to speak. When the heroine needs help, she can only turn to a Christian maid.
3. It looks like a yuppie's middle-class life, but can only hunt men in bars and dance halls.
4. The center of gloria's tangle is that she is looking for "happiness", which is not just as simple as finding a man. The working women in "Mother's Spring" can sleep with their daughter's boyfriend, which is mainly because of sexual needs, and the lack of sex is also the main reason for their inner loneliness. But gloria is a middle-class or even affluent woman (the room has a maid to clean it) and she obviously wants more.
5. The relationship with Rudolph is actually the same as that of the strange young man in the bar. So she didn't pursue Rudolph really divorced? She brought him to her own house for a party without asking to see the man's family. Her ambiguous eyes could not conceal her contempt for him, mixed with her sexual desire for him.
When reminiscing about the beautiful past with the family, he did not take into account the feelings of the male partner at all, resulting in the other party's unbearable departure. All these actions show the fact that there is sex without love.
6. She has her own "circle of friends", middle-class friends of the same age who discuss the situation in the country. But when the temperamental old man played the guitar and sang, he was accompanied by a young woman.
She acquires sexual needs in blue-collar men, and obviously sexual needs are far from enough; she tries to connect with her children but has difficulty; what does she need? love? I'm afraid she doesn't know it herself.
She is lonely, but she has no way of getting out of her loneliness, which is partly due to age, and more to the tangle of personality and education.
In the end she finally became a cat woman, even though she didn't like cats.
7. Philomena is also a single old lady. She usually reads bad romance novels, goes to church when she has nothing to do, and lives an optimistic, kind and happy life.
Chinese mothers do not have this confusion either. The son is a single father, why don't you force him to move to his house to take care of the grandson? Sexual needs? sin, sin!
Still the working people have a better life.
