Women in the 21st century, after breaking away from the old red tape and social constraints, have obviously been able to live a wonderful life in the workplace or in life. Perhaps London, LA, and even China, what women face after winning the battle against the bottleneck of their careers. The problem is the same: that is love. Just look at the four girls from Sex and the City, their replicas can be found on the streets of almost every modern metropolis. These women are beautiful, smart, successful in their careers, independent and perfectionistic about love, so that it is difficult to avoid the embarrassment of being single at an older age.
The two heroines Amanda and Iris in the movie "Holiday" can almost stand out as a template for modern strong women.
Amanda played by Cameron Diaz owns a huge film advertising company. She is capable and sincere. Because of her long-term "hardcore" work style, her sadness has been reduced. She can't even cry, and she is also obsessed with love. After vaguely feeling that her boyfriend was having a one-night stand with someone else, he decisively kicked him out of the house and made a clean break.
And Iris, played by Kate Winslet, works for a London publishing house, and An Xian lives in a country house outside London. The man accommodated in every possible way, lowered his eyebrows and pleaded with his eyes, but what he got was the old-fashioned ending of "my boyfriend wants to get married, the bride is not me", and she would only wash her face in tears, although she vowed to forget, but her boyfriend said a word, a look, but she Disarmed. Looking at it from the outside, I feel a little angry in my heart, but in the face of a man who loves, there are probably not many women who can know how to choose rationally.
In this way, two women who have a successful career but a mess in love, faced the unpleasant life in front of them and made the usual way for urbanites to relieve stress: vacation. Amazingly, they chose to exchange each other's houses as a resting place on vacation.
So Amanda came to the quiet London town with a lot of luggage. The warmth and quietness of the country house just matched her weak mood for the high-paced life in LA. Love is always in a corner of life, waiting for us to break the boring life by ourselves, and then it walks down the steps and dances with us. Here Amanda met Iris' older brother: handsome publisher editor, single father, clean private life, kind and considerate, and most importantly, they were in love with each other, which was almost perfect. What is the distance between London and LA? Love is "crossing the ocean to see you".
And Iris started her exotic life with her longing for LA and the ecstatic mood of Amanda's house, sleeping, walking, saying hello to friendly neighbors, even just hiding in the room and facing the shadows full of cabinets. It can also make her excited, because everything in a foreign country is full of unknowns, maybe even beautiful unknowns. Iris met Amanda's friend, the film musician JACK. Although this man is not good-looking, he is humorous, gentle and kind. More importantly, their emotional experience is almost the same: they have both been betrayed by their loved ones, so they can touch the depths of each other's emotions the most. Because of hurt, and know how to cherish love.
The style of the love movie follows a relaxed, humorous and romantic line. After some setbacks, the director timely arranged a happy ending, with no swords and swords, and no boring you. In the fresh and natural soundtrack, "Holiday" gives modern urban women a beautiful dream.
The best things in life are rare, and love is among them. But we are often so blinded by depression and so depressed that we cannot see it for as long as it lingers around us. Sometimes, it's just a few steps away, know how to say no to the bad situation, know how to open a door for yourself, step out, maybe the god of love is on the corner, waiting to give every beautiful woman that belongs to her alone sweet candy.
