I met Theron after watching her "The Devil" first, and then watching her red carpet style. I was surprised at the big difference between the two. She was beautiful, sexy, noble and elegant on the red carpet. Theron sacrifices image this time, playing a housewife of three children who is on the verge of collapse after falling into depression and mental disorders after having the perfect family she longs for. Sloppy body, big belly. She fantasized about a young, beautiful and capable night nanny, Tully, in her 20s, to help her with the children. During this period, her life improved: her relationship with her sick son's school eased, she started putting on makeup, and her husband felt that she was much better. She rushed into the river after going out with her nanny at a bar, and woke up, doctors told her husband that she had mental problems and was extremely sleep-deprived. Lying in the hospital bed, she said goodbye to the nanny in the hospital. The nanny told her that she was just here to help her through the difficulties. When filling in the hospital information, the husband mentioned that his wife's name before marriage was Tully. She was missing her younger self, her 20-something self, and had conflicts and entanglements about her choice.
The heroine got everything she dreamed of: husband, children, family. The husband is not too bad. He works hard to make money. He goes home every day, teasing the children and playing games. There is nothing to blame. Although the children are naughty, they are cute. But she still fell into a deep loss: without a beautiful and sexy body, without her own freedom, without being chased by many people, busy with trivial chores every day, without a complete sleep, without a clean and tidy home. But if she chooses to live freely for herself, there will be a lot of regrets and dissatisfaction.
There are always regrets in life. If you choose a family, you must bear the problems and consequences of the choice. This is also a choice every woman must make. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. At the end of the film, the heroine returns to calm, the husband is still the husband, the children are still those children, and life is still that life.
