The overall structure of the film is boring and depressing. Four middle-aged women, three rich and husbands, have a superior material life, but the pain and troubles continue. Franny is the richest, even the children use luxury goods, but she has no self, and even borrowing money to friends can only be decided after discussing with her husband. The only thing she can do is to live according to the luxury standard that the rich can achieve. Christine and her husband are enthusiastic about building what they call a "beautiful mansion where you can see the sea even while lying in bed", but in fact, the relationship between the two is getting farther and farther from each other. Jane is a famous fashion designer, but she feels that life is meaningless. She glares at everything around her all day long and sees nothing pleasing to the eye. A trivial thing can make her furious. Olivia is the only one who is single, but she has always been rude, obsessed with a married man who has a night stand, lost her job as a teacher, and has to work as a nanny to clean the room and rely on her livelihood.
Christine always accidentally hurt herself, such as when she got up from office and accidentally touched a part of her arm or leg on the table; when she was walking, she accidentally stepped on something and twisted her foot; when she was cooking, she accidentally burned her hand. (I can't help but smile when I see these clips, because I often have similar incidents, often I suddenly find a black lump or a piece of skin on my arm or leg, but I can't remember how the injury came from. I think We are all people who are not sensitive to physical pain and do not know how to protect ourselves.) She was constantly arguing with her husband, and the real reason for the quarrel was that she could not bear his long-term indifference. So she went from being ignored, to actively exploring why she was ignored (running to the neighbor's house to check the troubles their dream house brought to the neighbors), to asking the other party (husband) to pay attention and not to be separated later, but once separated, she was Disappointed.
Before going to bed at night, Olivia called the old lover's house over and over again, and she would not sleep until she heard the other party's voice. Occasionally, he drove to the door of his house and wandered, looking downstairs, staring at the figure behind the blinds. Because of economic distress, I had to travel through the various counters of a certain brand of cosmetics, and collect trial clothes cheeky. For fear of being rejected, she accepted the unreasonable salary offered by the fat man. Because she was fed up with loneliness and loneliness, she was with that bastard fitness trainer, even if the other woman went on a date with her and chatted with other women; driving a BMW had to share low house keeping remuneration with her, because he also "contributed" "Then watch him change his hand and take the money to go to the bar to buy wine for other women to drink. The man and the woman were HAVE SEX on the bed of Master Gu's house, the man was writhing hard, she seemed to be just a puppet watching the man crazy, and she had a blank expression that had nothing to do with her. The saddest scene-----to see her eyes when her boyfriend asked her for money-----from surprise. . . struggle. . . hesitate. . . compromise. . . to despair. . . The camera took almost a minute, and I almost burst into tears. I was looking forward to the outburst after she held back for a long time-----scolding "Bastard! F*ck... as far as your thoughts go, you go as far as you can" "Scenarios like that. But she didn't, and after a moment of hesitation, she just pretended to draw out a few beautiful knives and handed them to him. This is her, this is her depressing, dull, suffocating and sad life.
Jane has a husband and son who loves her, and an enviable career, but is still unhappy, restless, irritable, and like going into menopause early. Her life is like a process from self-affirmation to self-doubt, self-denial to doubt, and denial of everything around her. In the past, she would buy hundreds of high-end shampoos, and then her husband told her that the ingredients in those expensive and high-end shampoos were not different from ordinary cheap shampoos, so she began to refuse to wash her hair and resist the outside world in this way , until one day he broke out in a quarrel with someone in the mall and broke the bridge of his nose.
At the end of the film, it still falls into a cliché. Olivia finally caught the golden tortoise husband and joined the ranks of the rich. The restlessness, contradictions and complaints of the other three women were resolved in a brief compliment from the husband after a charity dinner one day. From this, it can be seen that what the woman is asking for is really simple, just a few words of comfort, approval and concern.
Some of the scenes in the movie really touched me deeply, probably because I was already old and single, and I had a few friends around me, but most of them got married and had children and lived as husbands and children. We meet once in a while, and the topics we talk about have long changed from romantic ideals to trivial trivial matters. The innocent girls who did not know the sorrows of the world and their beautiful dreams when they were young seem to be getting farther and farther away. woman. And I'm still struggling alone in this city, trying to make my life better. Time flies, and my years are getting older, and soon I will also be one of the so-called "middle-aged women". I guess I won't have Olivia's luck, there's no chance of meeting any beetles and then marrying a rich woman, and I don't know if I will go away because of fear of being alone or can't stand loneliness one day in the future Indulge a certain bastard, and live such a depressing and boring life since then. . .
So I sincerely hope you won't, and neither will I. . .
