I’m forty years old, so what can I care about?

I have watched a lot of movies recently, and one of them is not bad: "This is 40". (The whole family concocted the movie, director Judd Apatow put his wife and daughter on the screen at the same time)

Forty-year-old is either a pass or not. If you put aside the difficult family issues (daughter or relatives' parents), money issues (the stolen money in the store and the performance prospects of the record company); in fact, the father and wife are very happy. You can tell from the scene in the hotel that the couple is going on vacation without going out. They stay in the room and order room service, eat marijuana and laugh, and are extremely happy.

If the forty-year-old is a level that needs to be calmly stopped, it is not for numerical problems, but for the debts accumulated by this half of the world.

As parents’ debt: Two daughters grow up slowly, especially when they enter puberty. Excessive interference is a problem, and too much care is also a problem. The funniest thing is that there is a scene where the mother ordered the hot girl list at school but did not put her daughter on the list of the mouse boy yelling and intimidating; but in fact, she didn’t know that her daughter had secretly promised it early in the morning. Next is the mouse boy who has a crush on that insult but she is actually drawing attention.

As a child’s debt: Although the husband’s father was not too old, he was already quite a bit old, but he had children with a remarried woman. As a result, three IVF babies were born in his lifetime. Doing nothing but spending a lot of money, for the 40-year-old, the other party is simply a rascal who squeezes money. As for his father, he also has a small family of his own. My father doesn't have a family picture of himself. I haven't seen him in seven years. How to face this person? It is still a big problem for the 40-year-old. One of the things I like very much is that her father didn't have a very good life, he just didn't talk about it with her. His first marriage failed, and he didn't want the second marriage to be ruined too; that's why he loved his later children so much. Or it is all unfair to her, but there is nothing fair and unfair in the world. Letting go, don’t compare, or talk to him about the countermeasures against adolescent children in the future, and start getting along with him again with friendliness, all can be a kind of love.

I'm forty years old, so I don't care about anything else. There is a third baby without a plan. The accidents of life always surprise you; like that, the honest asian sales is not like a bad guy who eats tens of thousands of dollars in your store. People tend to believe that Megan Fox, who is very hot and casual, is the one who steals money on the surface. The constraints of society are too limited, but if you are happy to welcome it, knowing forgive will actually not stump you. The so-called mid-life crisis is nothing more than clinging to trivial matters. If you learn forgiveness before the age of forty and learn to see well, you will find that all problems are no more than trivial matters.

Postscript: I have to say that the casting is very good. The director Judd Apatow's wife and heroine Leslie Mann is crazy, the male protagonist Paul Rudd feels dumb, and the little girl Iris Apatow (she is the daughter of Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow!) is so cute! , Melissa McCarthy is suitable for this kind of noisy woman; I have to mention that I don’t recognize that woman as Megan Fox.
