About youth, about the future, we There are too many fanciful designs, and sometimes even death is designed. Not to mention "heavier than Mount Tai", its weight should at least be comparable to "Mount Lu". However, with the passing of youth, it also means continuous loss and distance, away from the original purity and hope in life, away from the original ideal and direction of life, and finally we can only be reduced to earthly soil in the passage of time, and Those ideals of youth have to be relegated to silence...
Many people say that April is selfish, and she only lives in her fantasy "stage" world, with failed careers, tedious housework, noisy children, and traditional and boring families A housewife... is not the part of life she wants. It is not so much that she longs for the romantic atmosphere of Paris and the exotic flavor of Paris. It is better to say that she just wants to inject a little passion into the ordinary life by changing the environment, so that she can still feel the value of existence. April is indeed selfish. She only wants to live for herself, but she is respectable. In this age of materialistic desires and loud noises, how many people can truly "live for themselves" like this? In this way, he insists on pursuing his ideal life "despite everything". However, April was wrong. It is not so simple to "live himself" sincerely. No one around can understand them, and everyone thinks that their decision is very inconvenient. Reliable, unrealistic, looking around, only the crazy son of the landlord can support them in the huge life circle. The ending is self-evident....
Frank, once full of romantic ideals and fiery passions, was completely destroyed by the tedious and boring work life. Although he knew his life situation and mental state better than anyone else, he also decided to try to change with his wife. The realistic temptation of promotion and salary increase will eventually clean up the remaining passion for life. He rejected his wife and at the same time rejected the revival of his former ideals, and will allow himself to "unhesitatingly" integrate into the trend of "normal people"... ...
April's death was a revenge on Frank, but why not a revenge on this mechanized society?
After watching the whole film, why don't you and I continue the "normal" life like Frank?
