Breaking up is destined, how much you and I cherish

Women, both Chinese and foreign, are always branded as "the people behind". We should always be as beautiful as a wall flower, and we should work hard to take care of our home, so we have blurred faces, fake smiles, can't talk too much in front of people, and can't stand under the sun for long. Only with the symbol of the name, one can only expect to hear the greetings from others, and then politely agree with a small excited "hey".

In the end, the man next to Hubble was such a woman, beautiful as a doll, and calm enough to see Hubble being hugged and intimate by his ex-wife Katie, but she just smiled aside, like a passerby, Not worth mentioning passerby. Hubble didn't even formally introduce Katie to her. Too tmd pathetic.

Such disembodied women are always the main theme of a happy marriage, because they are patient enough, because their beliefs are tolerance, compromise and sacrifice for others.

In fact, I don't really understand the historical significance and political height of this film, because terms such as the Cold War, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and McCarthyism were basically forgotten after the college entrance examination. I just admire a brave woman like Katie. She once compromised painfully for the man she loved, put away her wings and was willing to be the woman behind him, but she couldn't destroy her inner belief, and she suffered even more. Born a female warrior, how can she be deaf, dumb, and blind? It's just that they are braver than the man they love deeply, so they are not destined to be together forever.

In the last scene, Barbra Streisand sang "The Way We Were" shallowly, and Katie continued to shout her faith in the desolate autumn street. I couldn't help but applaud them softly.

If the personalities don't match, then don't force them to be together. Even if you love each other again, you will not be happy if you compromise again and again. The feelings of the past are really beautiful, because there is no going back. Seize the moment, darling, we're all going to be happy.
