You are my youth that I will never return.

"A boat, if a few new boards are replaced every year, after a few years, all the boards will be new, then, is this still the same boat? What about the person?"

This is a female movie with a clever plot design. What attracted me to the film was because of the dedicated Theron, she was amazing. The filming of Arctic City and Tully was only a year apart. Looking at the difference in styling, I really admired her sacrifice for the role.

Theron a year apart

The incontinence caused by childbirth, the pain and embarrassment of breastfeeding, the loss of body shape, the loss of interest in life, and the lack of physical strength are the problems that most mothers have to face. Theron's portrayal is delicate and true. Resonate with those who have experienced it, and empathize with those who have not.

The heroine Marlo has to face all the problems in life, her family is not as good as her brother, her husband has low self-esteem and doesn't like her brother, her daughter is growing up, her son has a mental illness, she accidentally gave birth to the third child, and has to take care of 3 children and family. My husband is busy with work, and he often pays attention to verbally. Although he is not clear and picky, he also shows some dissatisfaction, but he still does nothing and plays games at night.

From the night the night-sitter first arrived, her dream has paved the way for the most real part of the story. As the plot develops, you will feel that it is good to have Tully, things are getting better and better, and It feels like something is weird, and there is some inexplicable sense of violation. In fact, almost every detail is quietly paving the way. At the last moment, when you understand everything, you realize how bitter and difficult the heroine's life is. Every previous plot and every dialogue seems to be so helpless. . What kind of spirit did she use to persevere in all this.

The story is told in a very gentle way, and it tells a very poignant story. Fortunately, it leaves a hopeful ending. The husband realizes that there is a problem with putting everything on his wife. Apologize to your wife and start doing chores that you should share with your wife.

The film is closely related to the plot with a lot of trivial dreams and scenes from TV shows. There is an imported version of this film in China, which is two minutes shorter than the original film. A total of 5 places have been deleted. 2 places are Marlo watching a nighttime adult show, 1 place is foreplay for dozens of seconds, and 1 place is breastfeeding and 1 place. Up milk. Although only this point has been deleted, the issue of married life after childbirth has been clearly downplayed. alright……


========The following is a summary of the plot, if you want to watch this film, it is not recommended to watch spoilers========

Marlo is about to give birth, this is her third child, and there are a pair of children in front of her, her daughter is 8 years old. My son is going to kindergarten, and he has some IQ and psychological problems. It is very hard to take him, and he needs to help him with psychotherapy. Marlo's brother sponsored the kindergarten to let them take in Marlo's son, but the kindergarten advised her to pay for a private teacher, and later recommended to transfer schools, because her son was often manic, which would affect other children. Marlo was having a hard time with this.

Marlo's family went to his brother's house for a party. His family was very wealthy, and his sister-in-law hired a full-time nanny to live a relaxed and comfortable life, which was in sharp contrast to her own. The elder brother said that he was willing to pay Marlo to hire a night-time nanny to help her take care of the child. Marlo did not want to hand over the child to a stranger to take care of her, and because he was afraid of hurting her husband's self-esteem with his elder brother's money, he rejected his elder brother's suggestion.

After the birth of her youngest daughter, Marlo once again faced various physical pains and negative postpartum emotions, and almost collapsed (she suffered from severe postpartum depression when she gave birth to her son), but she not only had to take care of the newborn baby, but repeatedly got up at night to breastfeed , changing diapers, but also taking care of the family's daily life, unable to rest, and the house is in chaos. The husband went to work as usual every day, and went home at night to play console games in the bedroom. He neither wanted Marlo to use his brother's money to hire a nanny, nor helped Marlo take care of the children.

One night, a night nanny named Tully appeared. She was young and beautiful, energetic, omnipotent, understanding, not only taking good care of the children, but also soothing Marlo's emotions, affirming Marlo's efforts, encouraging her, Talk to Marlo and slowly save her from the brink of collapse. And Tully cleans the room and cooks snacks for the family (who have been eating convenience food for a long time). Tully held up everything in Marlo like Superman and healed Marlo. Marlo began to recover, became more optimistic, took better care of the children, and started to take care of himself.

Tully was leaving suddenly, and she said that she was just helping Marlo transition, not always. They drove a long, long time to drink near where Marlo lived when he was young. Marlo faced an emotional breakdown again. She went to see where she lived when she was young, and drove home after drinking.

Marlo was taken to hospital after a drink-driving accident and doctors said she was overworked and schizophrenic. Her husband and brother were still wondering why this happened. The hospital asked her husband to register for the hospitalization and asked Marlo's full name, what was her real surname before she got married? Her husband spelled TULLY word for word.
