everyone has similarities

About this movie, it's not love that strikes me, but how people get out of the predicament and rediscover themselves.
The two women in the film, Amanda and Alice, are both frustrated in love. On the surface, their situation seems to be very different: one is because of her strength that her boyfriend can't stand it and steals sex outside, even if Amanda rushes When he went out, he was still defending himself (although he reluctantly admitted the truth in the end); the other was his beloved boyfriend, but he was with others in front of you, even after he announced his marriage. You are asked to continue to act as a safe haven that he can always use. This is a vulnerable woman. But at a deeper level, they have the same problem: they don't really know their heart, and they don't know what their love looks like. Amanda wanted to cry over her lost love, but the fact was that after her father got divorced and left home and took the aisle suitcase, she didn't cry any more; Alice always e-mailed and texted The man stalking himself is distraught.
It can be said that the two people in this film have similarities. The above is about Amanda and Alice who are also women. Next came old Arthur and Alice. Arthur refused to pay tribute to a party like him because of his lack of self-confidence. He said that he didn't want to be able to walk on the stage, and he didn't want to only face the Few people in the audience spoke. But he let Alice watch the movie he recommended, and the women in it are confident and elegant, with power beyond ordinary people, which finally changed Alice. He doesn't know about himself, and his crux is the same as Alice. With the joint efforts of Alice and Miles, the old man finally gained self-confidence and was able to dance (dance) lightly on the stage and talk freely. Arthur and Alice complete each other's rescue at the end of the film.
Miles' emotional experience is similar to Alice's. The film arranges the conversation between Alice and the bad man who came to the door before the start of the tribute party and the scene where Miles sits in front of his girlfriend Maggie and listens to his apology at the same time. , and then the two smiled at each other at the party to highlight the similarities between them, as well as the liberation and self-redemption of wrong feelings.
Amanda and Grahamber are both strict about themselves. After being betrayed, Amanda said to herself that she was calm and calm, and Gerhardt's desire to be a good father, a good editor and a good man always weighed heavily on him. Their meeting and love were destined because they could be on each other. see each other's pain.
Although I dare not say that they can live happily together from now on, at least we must believe in the strength of ourselves and the strength of others. All of these can help us understand ourselves more clearly and get out of the predicament.
