change and change

Times are really different. Fifteen years ago, Meryl was very hesitant before taking on the filming of "Land Dreams of the Covered Bridge", because the story involved "beautifying" extramarital affairs, which was inconsistent with the traditional concept of marriage. In last year's new film "Love is Complicated", the heroine Jenny she played in her fifties had an affair with her remarried ex-husband Jack, and there was not much psychological barrier, and the female companions also encouraged her to pursue her own sexuality and happiness. This seems to show that the sexual concept of American society has become open from one side, even the elderly are no exception.
The first half of "Love and Hate Complexity" is very popular, and the real highlight is in the back. One day, when Jenny prepared a delicious meal for her ex-husband and he couldn't leave the house, she suddenly became clear about her legal mistress status. She felt very humiliated, and she also began to understand that her subconscious commitment to her ex-husband's pursuit was due to her unbalanced psychology after the betrayal of her ex-husband ten years ago. But after having a clear understanding of her past marital problems and her own psychological state, she was finally relieved, and her ex-husband was no longer important to him, even if he wanted to leave the current family and return to him. After stepping out of the shadows of the past, she can face the future soberly and consider who is willing to spend the rest of her time together. She chose designer Adam.
Jack's line of defense is very tempting: we broke up at the beginning because the complicated family made us have no passion, and our temperament has become very bad, and now we have become what each other wants, and the children have grown up, and there is no family burden. We happen to enjoy life, which is a classic example of "living in the moment." It seems as if the past escaping responsibility and the damage caused can be written off.
The film once again confirms that men are physical animals and women are emotional animals, which is inevitably a bit STEREOTYPE. For mature women like Jenny, Jack has always been a playful kid.
The bad boy who made mistakes can't be easily rewarded, so Jenny did not accept her ex-husband in the end. From this point on, the film still maintains the moral bottom line of Americans.
