At first I was thinking, are they really friends? How could they be friends? Experiencing completely different lives, with different concepts, economic conditions, social circles, and personalities, it can be said that they should have been four people who had nothing to do with each other in the crowd, especially Olivia. After dinner, they would talk to their husbands about the lives of their sisters behind their backs, pointing out their own lives. At this time, I thought they would be a group of plastic sisters, just need to maintain a superficial relationship.

But when Jane broke her nose, the other three rushed to the hospital as soon as possible; after Christine and her husband quarreled, there were friends who comforted them; after Olivia went on a date with the rich and sloppy man, the friends were also happy that Olivia looked in a good mood . They quarreled, but they stayed by their side.

Franny and her husband said that if they had only met now, they might not have been friends. Yes, it is because their friendship can be traced back to a long time ago, when there were no money problems, family problems, and work problems, everyone was just friends. Therefore, friends can tolerate differences, allow disapproval, and go their separate ways.

The female friendship part of the film gave me new inspiration for the concept of friends. After growing up, everyone has a different life direction and gradually drifts away. This is not inevitable. This idea makes me feel a little relieved. The concept of friends seems to be less strict, and more of a mutual Acknowledging presence and mutual companionship.

There are also some interesting points of the movie: in the last scene Christine was talking to herself when she was writing and no one answered. When she looked up, she found that her ex-husband was no longer in front of her. She felt a little lost, but she stood up and hit the back of her leg, and the nanny shouted loudly in the distance. She shouted aloud, are you alright, at this time Christine knew more deeply that she had made a correct decision, and the loss of her ex-husband not being around a few seconds ago was also swept away, because if it were him, he would even care about the simplest things. Not willing to speak. And the movie is talking about whether Jane's husband is gay. I don't think so. A man cares about how he looks, and being more sophisticated doesn't mean he is gay. I think it's more of a reason they don't want to believe that Jane has such a good husband. "He's so perfect just because he's gay." . There is also a scene where Jane, Olivia, and Franny are chatting in the car after the final dinner, and Christine is returning home alone. After the end of Jane's birthday at the beginning of the movie, Christine, Franny, and Jane are chatting in the car, The image of Olivia at home alone echoes that. Both Jane and Franny's husbands said their wives were the prettiest of the night.
