Mel, played by Reese Witherspoon, is a small village girl in Alabama, in the southern United States. She was very mischievous when she was a child, and everyone in the town avoided her; there was a little cowboy boyfriend who was a childhood sweetheart and decided to marry her when she was 10 years old; When she was young and ignorant, she married the little boyfriend and unexpectedly became pregnant and had no children. Later, because the man did not understand the style and had no ambitions, the girl
went to NewYork alone to see the outside world. The problem of wanting to go home turns out to be a lot in the United States. It's a wonderful world outside. First make yourself a decent background, then become a costume designer and fall in love with the mayor's son. So the girl did not return to her hometown for 7 years (PFPF, too ruthless), and it is estimated that she did not contact her very much except for occasionally sending a divorce agreement to her husband, but of course she still had to go back in the end, because she wanted to marry the mayor's son. Naturally, the husband must first sign the divorce agreement.
I remember someone in the movie telling the heroine Mel that she didn't know what she really wanted. A job that everyone admires? Handsome and rich boyfriend? Gorgeous clothes, a feasting life? Maybe you are just dissatisfied with the status quo, so you yearn for the glamorous beauty of the big city and the thrill of success; maybe you are just unwilling to face your past, so you weave a dreamy lie for yourself, but how can you deceive your heart? ? You want to be like this because everyone thinks it's so good? Because you don't want to live your whole life like your parents, you don't want to be idle like your husband, and you don't want to be just a housewife looking after your children like your friends?
In fact, the movie doesn't say that because NewYork is not good in the village, we should not stay in the city and return to Alabama. A big city has the goodness of a big city, a successful career, and good friends; at home, there is a good family, a quiet life, and family and friends who know and love you. Both are good. The key is, which one do you want?
There is a character Bobby in the film, who is the heroine's playmate when she is a child, and cares about one person who takes care of her. After the heroine successfully got her husband's signature on the divorce agreement, she went to apologize to her friends who were hurt by her impulsive words the night before. She said to Bobby: I'm sorry, I abandoned you. I thought at the time that if I followed you, then... no one would notice me. So in fact, the previous choice may just be because of a very unscrutinized and thoughtful reason. Bobby also said a sentence in the film, which is very meaningful in hindsight: You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, but you can't take the honky tonk out of the girl.
Mel, a NewYork friend, came to join her I talked to her about myself at our wedding: he proposed to me, and I think I love him a lot, and he's rich. "Why don't you say 'YES'?" "Because I hesitate a long time to realize that my heart and my head think different things."
Sometimes I feel like I've become the kind of person I hate the most, no The kind of person who knows what he wants. However, sometimes it may take a little time to figure out what you want, and it may take a lot of time. It took Mel 7 years to figure it out. You shouldn't be watching this movie at this time.
Two additional points:
1. Jake, the male protagonist played by Josh Lucas, is too affectionate and can't stand such a good young man who seems to be decadent and enterprising. It's a childhood sweetheart again (thinking of Luya Linda and Xiaonan Keisuke Ami...), childhood sweethearts are too invincible. Although I have no drama in my life, I decided to find an invincible childhood sweetheart for my child in the future.
2 The childhood of the heroine in the title sequence seems to be played by Dakota Fanning, the little girl is too smart and cute.
