Sure enough

In 1997, the most memorable and most touching thing was a simple literary film "Perfectly Beautiful".
The writer Udel is a best-selling author who has published 72 romance novels, but he has incredible cleanliness, paranoia, and eccentric personality. He can mess up other people’s good moods in just three sentences and get along with him. Three minutes can make others hate him from the bottom of my heart; Carol is a single mother, serving in a small restaurant, squeezing into a small apartment with her mother and her son who suffers from asthma, life is always unfair to her Yes, she worked hard to treat her son, but all she got was the treatment of the intern in the night shift emergency room. She dated men, but every time she scared them away because of family reasons, there was another named Mel. Wen's "lunatic" customers irritate other customers in the restaurant every time they eat; Simon is Udell's neighbor. He is a talented painter, but was driven out of the house by his parents because of his homosexuality. "Yudell was ridiculed all day long. After holding his own painting exhibition, he was robbed and injured by a model he found from the street. Even his financial situation had problems, and he even had to be driven out by the landlord. Here is his creative inspiration. The time is almost exhausted. These three characters have almost become a cross-section of people living in this world, representing the various difficulties that people encounter in the world: communication difficulties, family difficulties, work difficulties..., the original world It is "not perfect but not beautiful".
But the turning point of things happened when Carol’s son’s condition deteriorated. Carol asked for leave for work for the first time, and Yudell was unable to get Carol’s services for the first time. It was difficult for Yudell to explain why he was alone against Carlo. Er did not report feelings of hostility, but he extended a helping hand for the first time. The excellent doctor he found for Carol's son enabled the child to be properly taken care of for the first time. Maybe everything is like what he said, what he did is to enable Carol to return to work earlier and continue to serve himself. It seems that this is a very "sounding" reason, so that Udell later helped his disliked "gay Simon" to ask his parents for money, in fact, in order to be able to go on a "alone" trip with Carol, three or People who are dissatisfied with life or who have been hurt by life are connected in this way, using their true temperaments to make up for each other's wounds, and life seems to show a beautiful side.
If sincerity and simplicity are the valuable qualities Yudell has preserved, it may be laughed off by everyone at first, but slowly, we can show from his often incomprehensible behavior and acrimonious speech. His almost autistic behavior is just a safety umbrella for him to protect himself. As a best-selling romance novelist, he seems to be more in love with the pure interpersonal relationships in the novel. He likes Carol precisely because of that unremarkable There is a kind of innocent enthusiasm in the hospitality. On the surface, he helped Carol only for selfish purposes, but from a deep level, he hopes not to lose the dwindling, inter-personal relationship. Between pure and sincere feelings, there is no utilitarianism in it. Sincerity and simplicity are not only Udel's virtues, but also the goals he pursued throughout his life. In the bar, Udel confided in a rare voice: "You make me want to be a better man." This is not only the most sincere thing Carol has ever heard, but also the best confession and promise of a man to a woman. . Of course, as Carol later said: "You and I are not ready yet." Udell is not very clear about what kind of social and family responsibilities he has to take after he has Carroll, and Carol does not know whether he can Accompanied by such a strange man. At the same time as the heart is innocent, you have to face the hypocrisy and ugliness of the society, and you have to bear the trivialities of the family while enjoying love. When you love someone, you must adjust yourself to accept everything about him (her). This is life.
Almost all the characters in "Perfectly Perfect" are very imperfect, and they have all kinds of misfortunes and defects in their own experiences or personalities. The reasons for these are largely not themselves. Udell’s morbid character stems from his dissatisfaction with social reality and his sincere desire, Simon’s misfortune comes from his anti-traditional value orientation, and Carroll comes from her courageous pursuit of happiness. No matter how these beautiful qualities are not understood by people, how they are honed by the rough sandpi of life, it is these noble pursuits of value that enable human beings to continue to survive beautifully in this world. For them, "Perfection is perfect." "It is an attitude to life, but also a purpose of life.

    If I read it again, I will gain more. It’s just that the overly complex situation obliterates the simplest touch. This is an actor’s favorite script. The male and female protagonists indeed rely on him to win the golden man. It’s just not to my appetite. Many things are really true. It's hard to understand. The male actor of the gay male writer is very brilliant, and the blacks are also very classic. There are not many people in them who put together their acting skills and collided with fierce sparks, but why didn't they hit me?
