I personally feel that this film is a bit underrated. I don’t know if it’s because people subconsciously feel that “talent and beauty cannot be directly proportional”. It’s already so beautiful, so the creative aspect must be mediocre. Watching at station A, there are also many people who say they can't understand and give up halfway. How should I put it, those who are not married, who have not lived together for at least five years, really cannot understand the ubiquitous depressive atmosphere expressed in this film. In my opinion, Jolie is at least honest with herself in this movie. The helplessness, powerlessness and speechlessness in marriage, even the most stylish (ex) couple in the world are not immune. I knew about this movie when I got divorced from Pigskin, and I haven't watched it until now. I didn't feel bored at all, but it resonated a lot. I saw that in various previous movies, it was so heroic and powerful that it could almost conquer the world. Jolie described being haggard, crying until her mascara melted, Pitt grabbed her hand and beat herself and she kept backing away, I know, this woman has been through those darkest moments too.
Audiences who are accustomed to linear narratives do not understand why she expresses so abnormally in the film, and the reasons for her mental problems are not clearly explained. I was just thinking about one thing, those new lives that are born every year, do you know that you are a product created by your parents to solve problems and resist the emptiness of life?
Especially the once talented men and once radiant women, when they withdraw from the center stage and no longer enjoy the applause of people, their sense of nothingness will probably come more violently, that trivial, day by day, year by year life, Can't help but feel hopeless. In the movie, Pitt said to Jolie "You are a good woman", and Jolie's instinctive reaction was "Am I already so boring?". When leaving the house in the morning, Pete called out to Julie, "Blown a kiss to you." Julie was putting on makeup, and she should also say "One back to you." That's it, even getting up and hugging didn't bother to do it.
That's why Julie is so fascinated by the newlyweds next door who have been married several times a night. She greedily peeps through a small hole in the wall. Willing to move away. At the same time, the beautiful young couple also became interested in them. The woman felt that they were not normal because "they were not always together" and questioned "I'm afraid that we will become like them". In the end, Zhu Li couldn't hold back the urge to destroy them, and ran to the next door to let the man touch her chest. Pete immediately grabbed him back, and the next door was noisy that night.
She pinned her own fantasies on the young couple. This attempt was discovered by her husband, including the fact that she helped the wife next door to choose the exact same clothes for her husband as Pete's, and even woke Pete up and asked him "Do you want to fuck her (wife next door)?" ". The fading of passion is something that everyone has no choice but to derail. It is not worthwhile to imagine that at least it is not a crime. Pete's way of fighting mediocrity is to try to convince himself to accept it. The motto given to him by the tavern owner is "love her", so he learns to work hard to find the cuteness in his wife. From the end of the movie, he did it, but in the end. In reality, the "Smith couple" ended up breaking up.
Why is Julie so depressed? Her conversation after praying in the church can reveal some things. She has a lot of anger in her heart about marriage and life, but she is repressed and cannot release it. She feels guilty for this. Pete comforted her: "I'm also an angry person." If the anger can't be eliminated and can't be vented to the people around you, you can only attack yourself inwardly. People will become more and more anxious, forming a vicious circle. This kind of hostility is still only love. And introspection can resolve. At the end, Pitt decided to write about his wife. There is a sentence in the completed work: "Go with the tide". This is what Pitt got from the fisherman. The same is true for life, let go of confrontation and go with the flow However, many problems can be solved accordingly.
During the holiday, I watched several movies about extramarital relationships, some were extramarital affairs, some were just extramarital sex, Gong Yoo and Jeon Do Yeon's "Men and Women", Kate Winslet's "Being a Mother", Ang Lee The director's "Ice Storm" is all about middle-class families and middle-aged couples, who find their passion for life in the taboo. These films together show that the disappearance of the passion for life is more important than the fact that one of the couples has other emotional outlets. Terrible thing.
In the morning, my friends were talking about a derailment incident on Weibo that was making a lot of noise. There was a lot of shouting and killing on the Internet, but our politically incorrect group was on the opposite side. Several married ladies said, "My husband cheated." Okay, then I can keep the money and pay the children." This is mostly a joke, but it also reveals that people really don't understand the current increasingly violent atmosphere. Of course, maliciously cheating on the spouse is of course. It's wrong, but when you see three, you fight, why do people accumulate so much anger in their hearts?
Of course, a series of reasons can be mentioned, such as the lack of protection of women in the current marriage law, and the improvement of people's moral standards. It is the externalization of hostility in one's own heart. Most people today are anxious. When anxiety is serious, they will have a sense of victimization. All of this requires self-awareness and the right medicine. It cannot be solved by attacking others.
When Julie divorced, there was an uproar on the Internet. Various public accounts were analyzed and analyzed, and most of them were absurd. However, after watching this "Deep Coast", you can probably understand a little bit about their psychological state and life before the divorce. It will not let you go because you are beautiful and rich. To gain inner peace, you need to learn to "walk with the tide."
