find yourself first

Origin: On a whim yesterday, I thought that I hadn't paid attention to Keanu Reeves, whom I liked for a long time. The compliment I heard about him before was "he has a god between his eyebrows", now it is "the man the world doesn't deserve". Another TVB actor, Ma Junwei, I also like it very much. They have that kind of compassion, the kind of tenderness that they choose to love and live generously after being cruelly deprived by fate.

"The Private Life of Pippa Lee" made me want to suffocate at the beginning, a beautiful innocent girl, a doll who can be dressed up, growing up under the control of a depressed mother, and then finally thinking about getting rid of it. Then step into the colorful world. Then, with the shackles of conscience, become the wife of a publishing businessman and an elegant and decent housewife. There is a rebellious daughter, a considerate son, and an aging husband who has only himself at heart.

She didn't know she had endured too much. Mom's depression is not her fault. She shouldn't punish herself.

It wasn't her fault that her husband's ex-wife committed suicide in front of her. She carried the shackles of her conscience for many years until she finally handed it over like a baton. I used a very cute anime. So cute and so alive. I found this movie so cute from here.

It's not her fault that her daughter doesn't like her. There is always someone to be yourself, and you always have to respect the decision of others to "be yourself".

When did things start to turn around? After finding out that he has nocturnal syndrome. After Keanu Reeves agreed to keep it a secret for her. After she was kicked out of the class by the pottery teacher, she twisted the shape of a twist from the pottery blank in her hand. And that was supposed to be an elegant vase. Then she angrily went to her husband's small office to tell her grievances, and found her husband's lover, the ex-wife of their mutual friend, who had eaten at their house for several years, and told her that she had been dumped...

Anyway, the funny part begins. The lover breaks down before her and wants to kill herself. She refused her husband's stay and packed up and rushed out of the house. Then he forgot his car keys and returned home to find his husband on the ground, near death. The two children have returned, the daughter has become a friend of the mother, and the son remains pragmatic and traditional. They both feel that they can accept the real each other.

Finally, no one faced her again. Finally, she can express her feelings to the fullest without passively accepting the feelings of others. At last there is a new flow of vitality.

Then my male god Keanu Reeves moved me again. In the plot, he parked his car (RV) under the cherry tree on a rainy night. The petals fell everywhere, and he just stood there quietly, watching the tired mistress and daughter walk by.

Such a beautiful view, such a gentle and kind person. Who wouldn't be excited? He was just there, with nothing but love and care. Just like the tree behind, so beautiful, the beauty that wind and rain can't change. Falling on the ground in a mess, he is still calm.

I don't know what they will experience when they are together, whether it will be a happy and happy typical American family. But when people who are riddled with holes can be together, they can face themselves truthfully, and they can smile with a strong smile.
