20s and 30s

I thought it would be an educational film about fear of marriage and education, but it may be applicable to any dilemma in life. Does wisdom really increase with age? Will 30s be smarter and calmer than 20s? The 20s may not have enough wisdom, but the vitality and belief they have may be what they really need to get out of the predicament.

It was 20-year-old Tully who saved 30-year-old Marlo, who was always saved by self-helpers. The misfortunes and hardships in the marriage, the ineffective husband and the unfriendly social environment are all involved, and the transition of the husband at the end of the film seems too abrupt. It is said that the brain cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality, so dreaming and imagining may be a way of self-salvation.

There is a playful and deliberate element in the narrative technique. I already knew the relationship between Tully and Marlo before watching it, otherwise I would have been immersed in speculation about the relationship between the two. Tully's various cross-border behaviors reached a climax in the suspected multi-player exercise. Marlo's ex-girlfriend flashed for 30 seconds at the beginning of the film, but it made people feel Can't help but wonder if Marlo and Tully collided. Marlo pumped up milk and squeezed in the bathroom for a while, which was so ambiguous. Knowing the real relationship between the two, and then savoring these details, I have to say that the director deliberately led the audience into the pit to enhance the tension of the story, but does it make sense for the expression of the film's theme?

    The biggest villains in this movie are the "cute" kids.

    The queen's sacrifice of image is almost disfiguring. From this, it can be seen that even the beautiful Theron, who has become a pregnant woman with a big belly and a haggard appearance, has no sense of beauty at all. The final happy ending has a false sense of positive energy for the sake of positive energy. In reality, there are many mothers who are depressed and anxious because of parenting, and husbands who are repentant? nonexistent.
