Disappointed

Movies from more than 40 years ago and earlier stage adaptations were said to be inexplicable by many people at that time. Today, the world has changed so much, and everyone can only treat it as an antique. The middle-aged couple in the play, the woman is the daughter of the principal of a small private university (the school she opened), originally hoped that her son-in-law would succeed as a professor, first promoted to the dean of the department, and later succeeded as the principal, but he not only made his wife and father-in-law a success in his career. Disappointed, the family didn't even have children, and the two almost became "poor and lowly married couples who grieve for everything", and they played some fantasy games when they were bored. One of them was that they had a teenage son.

When the movie starts, the two are walking home from a party that just ended at a colleague's house (Americans rarely walk at night - that's what happens when everyone lives on campus) when the wife tells her husband that she has a new pair. The young couple who came to the university came home to have a drink, and the husband's face was not good. Then all night, the two brought the young couple into their fantasy game in various ways, including the husband telling the young colleague that he was with a friend in middle school. One of the classmates was the murderer of his father, and his wife Chi Chi laughed at her husband for writing an indiscriminate novel and said that the murderer of his father in the novel was himself, and his young wife revealed that he was pretending to be pregnant to trick her boyfriend into marrying her, etc. In the end, it was the husband who announced that his son had died in a traffic accident, which is the fantasy game of the two game over.

I was in college at the time, and I heard various opinions while chatting with my friends, some said it was a psychological drama, and some said it expressed the unspoken love of the couple. Personally, I think the theme is that people adapt to disappointment It 's not easy to say whether the play is good or not, but I can only say that I like

the historical nature of this play, because the city government allowed foul language for the first time. Insane suicide is a relatively unpopular author in the United States, but it is regarded as a relatively advanced and not so popular literature in the university. It is a higher education game to distort the children's song who's afraid of the big bad wolf into who's afraid of virginia woolf
