We didn't see ourselves

This is a warm and powerful movie, but also a story of aura in trivial matters. The way it tells stories is like an old woman, intermittently, fragmented, and like a child, full of wild imagination. In short, we are given multiple feelings, and there is unshakable hope that runs through it.

Emily's childhood, depressive family atmosphere, procrastinated and dull, little Emily took revenge on the neighbor who was watching the ball game with a serious face. People can't help but laugh.

Emily grew up, from being as dull and boring every day, relying on her own little taste or guessing the number of orgasms, to finally getting help from accidents, and also gaining her own love by the way.

We either laugh, rejoice, or get bored together. We rarely find ourselves.

We did not find that our childhood was the same boring, holding the mirror to reflect the light, longing for a sister and brother. We did not find that we have walked a lot of indifferent and true feelings in love, just like Emily and a man who are so boring to laugh in bed when we are in love. We didn't realize that life doesn't need to be so vigorous. Even if you are a waiter, you can still find yourself comforted every day. We may not discover that no matter what age, when we see that person and want to escape with a heartbeat, we really fall in love with him.

At the end, everyone's life is still going on, and the film is not afraid to list the states of different people at the same time. The story is full of innocence, and innocence is the most hopeful.

We just need to see ourselves. In fact, life is so simple, don't be confused by the so-called cruelty, Emily is cute, and we have been cute before.
