After a lapse of ten years

Ten years ago, almost all of my colleagues have seen this movie. Because our work sends us all over the world and travels endlessly, it is too similar to Ryan in this film.

Today, ten years later, I changed from Natalie to Alex. I changed my place of residence. I almost no longer travel. I occasionally miss the days when I moved to the airport and spent time with my colleagues. I have a new understanding of many things, but I still feel that This is a movie worthy of five-star recommendation.

Ten years ago, what impressed me was how Ryan packed his luggage neatly and taught Natalie to be behind the Asians in security checks. I remember the shiny tens of millions of miles membership card that Ryan got, and I remember Ryan was at the airport last Complicated expressions on flight information boards. This is not a happy ending, Ryan is still on the way, and we have to go to the next customer who does not know where. Everything is in a hurry.

Today, ten years later, many plots have turned out to be very suitable-because of the economic downturn in the epidemic, large-scale layoffs, and even the video layoffs proposed by Natalie have become a reality. I guess there is no such company in the United States that specializes in firing people. It’s too bad to lay off employees through video and send a courier note to let the retrenched employees send back their computer badges.

What I didn't realize back then was how mournful this movie was. It was counterproductive from beginning to end.

Natalie followed her boyfriend to Omaha, ending with cheating. Vigorously want to do a big job in the company, and be stunned by the suicide of a customer (let's call it a customer).

Ryan, pretending to be free and easy, ran towards Alex overnight, and ended up with a label of "just a lost person".

Even Ryan's sister almost got married.

This world is really unrelenting in beating people.

The only highlight may be the shiny million miles membership card. Ryan should have been waiting for a long time at that moment, but it was really not the right time to come. If it were before Alex, I think he would be very excited. But at that time, he could only say I'm from here. Lin Yu was quiet and the wind was not stopping, very helpless.

Writing here seems to be unable to give this movie a sublimated summary. Many things are not in your own control. If you can't contend, just cherish today and take a closer look.
