There are stars in cruelty, and life is so desperate and so beautiful.

"The benevolent sees it as benevolence, the wise sees it as wisdom, and the
people don't know it every day, so the gentleman's way is rare. "
Often, we can always only see the part of the real world that we want to see.
So in fact, the plot doesn’t make sense. Just watching the movie feels very abrupt.
Then I chatted with Clooney type guys I know in life and came to the unanimous conclusion:
Clooney is unlikely to be a role model. Rex spent the rest of his life with this move.
This is probably the wishful thinking of his non-comrades themselves,
stubbornly thinking that everyone has some basic consistency after all,
thinking that those prodigal sons will eventually be defeated by someone,
you know, that may really be just ordinary people's fantasy. People really don't need this.
People always think that they are the masses, but in fact we are all niche, but we are not alone.
Because most of us will gather
people like ourselves , so everyone feels that they will be the masses.
In fact, if you are that little girl, you may not really understand Clooney and Alex.
The reverse is also true, unless you have gone through that stage,
but there is not necessarily only one way to grow. Maybe you go through different stages to the same destination.
Except for the only thing that doesn't make sense, it's really a good movie.
Talk about life beautifully and comfortably, quiet and bright, sad and warm.
Let you see love and liking, cruel helplessness and innocent romance mixed together.
But there is no way to stop life is so irresistible.
It's so loveable.

Will the three protagonists resonate a little bit?
If a few years ago, I might not have so many unspeakable thoughts in my heart now, and understand all the protagonists.
That little girl, many of her thoughts are naive and rigid, but she believes in beauty.
Some friends said that Alex Femme Beauty, did not think, who is she Femme?
Obviously elegant and beautiful, it is amazing. Obviously Clooney is a class of people.
Everyone is actually beautiful and ordinary.
Who am I? Perhaps what I love most in my heart is freedom,
love all Beauvoir, Woolf, Sagan, Salome...
I choose a certain direction in my life, and contradiction is inevitable.
But this does not prevent you from still wanting to create fairy tales and writing eternity.
She said that if she loves you, she really loves you, and if she doesn't love you, she really doesn't love you.
Uniqueness and loyalty require acquired self-control. Everything depends on her willingness.
From the realm of thought and soul, it may only be said: I love you forever, tonight.
He didn't lie to you, nor did she.
It's just that, even though it is a free soul,
in the voice of this world, I might just want to be a living together for you.
The choice is always in our hands, as long as we are willing, any miracle can happen.
Just protect your own happiness for whatever type it is.
Different people have different lifestyles:
peach blossoms will always bloom. Byron's lover, Wu Zetian's favorite male...It's
just that those involved should know how to accept their own choices.
If you can only fight for jealousy and endless external appeals, then don't wade.
No matter which one, as long as that is the way you agree with it in your heart,
then enjoy whichever.
