The nearly two-hour film depicts an uncle Tangle who has not yet understood his life in middle age.
Brad graduated from the prestigious Tufts University and was once an idealist, hoping to use his own power to change the world. However, his non-profit organization career did not bring him the satisfaction he imagined. The 47-year-old Brad was immersed in the good life of his college classmates all day long and despised his current days. Comparing with others' beautiful life in the circle of friends, the mind is out of balance.
Is Brad really suffering from a midlife crisis?
Although he can't compare to the tycoons who became the business elites among his classmates, the leaders in the political world, and those who radiated power and power in the Vanity Fair who retired on the island, but his wife is gentle and kind, has ideals and knows how to be content, and his son is excellent to Harvard Yale chooses at will, with a docile and unsophisticated personality. Although the family property is not as good as that of the upper class, it is also a happy and self-supporting well-off family.
But Brad did suffer a midlife crisis.
His mid-life crisis is not because he didn't get to stand out on TV like his old classmates, not because he didn't have the capital to drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house when he was nearly half a century old, nor because his career was not embarrassing or embarrassing, but because he didn't have the capital to drive a luxury car and live in a luxury house. The discrepancy in his cognition with the world is that he does not know how to reconcile with his own heart. I really admire the cold water that the Harvard female college student poured on him in the late-night bar: you are so old, and you still believe that the world revolves around you.
Indeed, what Brad is complaining about is really a thing? Forgotten by old classmates, not being contacted by former mentors, feeling that he is not as good as others... For a young man who used to be excellent in both academics and academics, the success of others may hurt his self-esteem, but this It's not that others are hurting him, it's that he himself has built countless stages and theaters in his mind, rehearsing the illusory scenes of other people's good life day after day, year after year, while ignoring his own reality in life. of happiness.
The final life of the story continues, and Brad seems to understand something under the wash of the music. But can he really learn to reconcile with the world and with his own heart? Perhaps this is a problem we all face in our lives. But I want to use the last words his wife said to him at the airport as a reminder: be present. Those who live forever in their inner little theater cannot grasp and experience the beauty of real life. In fact, there are not so many people who will pay attention to how you are doing. Instead of envy and jealous of other people's lives every day, it is better to reflect on it practically, don't you have enough?
Don't add drama to yourself, don't be hypocritical, life is still very beautiful.
