To paraphrase a netizen, movies are like girls, there are various kinds of cuteness, but there is often only one kind of addiction that makes you addicted. This movie, which I first saw in my oral English class, is my "cup of tea", and the very temperamental English teacher has also become one of the few in Zhejiang University that I am grateful for.



After watching it for the first time, I was excited and a little incoherent to talk about my opinion of Ingrid to the girls at the same table. There is no doubt that she is the most shocking character in the film and the starting point of the story. The principles of this icy woman made me tremble. Long ago, when I thought I was talented, such a thing was proud and natural, but now it looks like a cloud in the sky, with a slightly ominous color. Michelle Pfeiffer has a beautiful Aryan face, she ripped off the veil of reality and tenderness, making people scared by the cruel world feel that she is colder than reality. This reminds me of a woman named Ayn Rand and her novel called The Fountainhead, and by their logic, if it was sold in a window, most would be labelled "stool maker." Very evil, isn't it? But it seems to be true, stripped of the obsession of reality and utilitarianism, and the goal of self-direction, what are we left with? What is left of this world? What is left of humanity? Anyhow, the more I think about it, the more real it becomes.



I have seen BJ's single diary, Mr. Sweetheart, Renee Zellweger always plays those weak and kind women, Claire is such a character, and at the same time she is a powerful and shocking character, her weakness makes people feel powerless , both powerless to control the plot and sometimes feel powerless to control her own destiny, and the outbreak of astrid has also become a turning point in her journey, and Alison lohman's performance is also very powerful.



Weak people are such people, even if they have the idea of ​​trying to be strong, they can't do it. The original author explains why even though Claire loves astrid, this emotion cannot be the spiritual support for her to live. Conan, a thousand-year-old elementary school student, believes that there is only one truth, and astrid and I are both faced with two interpretations of reality: astrid appeared to fill Claire's emptiness, and she was just a lifebuoy around Claire's neck to prevent her from drowning in the stagnant waters of life. Death, but Ingrid creates a tsunami in the pond, making everything in vain, and the astrid no longer needs to be a suicide prevention tool. Or, the love of Claire's mother and close friend makes Astrid feel like he's never experienced happiness until Ingrid destroys everything. Unfortunately, both explanations are the truth, and choosing one cannot deny the other.



One of the important reasons I like this movie is that I see too much of myself in astrid. She grew up on a suitcase and pursued herself in the wind, frost, rain and snow. She denied Ingrid and denied herself, she admitted The mother also found himself. That's what I'm going through too, it's just that my long journey isn't over yet, her story is already on film. Alison lohman has a good combination of shape and plot in the film, and the most important thing is that they are all beautiful. Alison is not the kind of very beautiful girl, but she has a kind of friendly beauty of the girl next door. Her girly image in the two films match stick man and flick is very impressive. I recently watched Kevin Costner's old film dragon fly and found her playing a girl The little patient is very cute.



To borrow a quote from the opening title, when was the last time you felt safe? Think about it, because after that your journey begins.
