In the film, Mr. Schmidt, played by Jack Nicholson, experienced his retirement first, and the new young supervisor seemed to not buy him the old man’s account; then suddenly his wife died, and he found out in the relics. The wife was unfaithful to him 30 years ago, and the man was his best friend; then his long-distanced daughter was engaged again, and Mr. Schmidt was very dissatisfied with his fiancé and his family; the old man decided to drive on the road When I went to my daughter's house to stop this marriage, I encountered a married lady who was willing to listen to her in a very embarrassing situation. After arriving at his daughter's home in Denver, Mr. Schmidt failed to prevent her daughter's wedding, but caused her daughter's considerable chaos. After a series of unexpected things happened, in Mr. Schmidt's opinion, everything that was originally difficult to grasp, but at least patched up the life that he worked hard to support, seemed to be so little by little until the bottom was turned over.
Even if it is an angry, messy, unbearable and fragmented life, Mr. Schmidt still wants to talk to himself little by little. In the night alone, the old man sat on the lawn, facing the dark night, thinking of his wife who had betrayed him 30 years ago but had died: "Helen, what did you really think of me, deep in your heart? Was I really the man you wanted to be with? Was I? Or were you disappointed and too nice to show it? I forgive you for Ray. I forgive you. That was a long time ago, and I know I wasn't always the king of kings . I let you down. I'm sorry, Helen. Can you forgive me? Can you forgive me?" The hero who saves the world; I’m sorry, I thought my life should have more meaning, but in fact it didn’t; I’m sorry, I thought I could do many things but I didn’t; I’m sorry, I thought I was The hero in your heart and I am really just an ordinary one among thousands of sentient beings.
At the wedding ceremony of his daughter, Schmidt, a stubborn and troubled old man, faced the full house of guests and finally said helplessly: "Thank you, to you Randall, for taking such good care of my daughter..." Finally gave up the needless struggle. Back home, the old man took the opportunity of writing a letter to give himself such a monologue: "I know we're all pretty small in the big scheme of things and I suppose the most you can hope for is to make some kind of difference. But what kind of difference did I make, what in the world is better because of me? I'm weak and I'm a failure. Relatively soon, I will die. Maybe in 20 years, maybe tomorrow, it doesn't matter . Once I am dead and everyone who knew me dies too, it will be as though I never existed. What difference has my life made to anyone. None that I can think of. None at all.
If it weren't for a thank-you letter from the last stranger on the other side of the earth and a childish drawing, what is the meaning of Mr. Schmidt's life? Looking pessimistically, everyone is like this: it doesn't make sense. Did your parents ask for your opinion when they gave you life? This is how everyone was thrown in and was given life, and then ran all the way to the end. I'm really worthless. Many attempts to face aging and failures will not lead to flattering movies. The last thing that can be comforting is only the clumsy pictures sent by children on the other side of the earth. After the feast, tears burst into tears, but it's nothing more than a feast. In the face of innocence and hope, life is so helpless, and only in front of the two, can we give hope to the living, and hope to the people living in this tmd life.
