Hope hurts

Regarding the movie "Love is Complicated", Mrs. May's role is very similar to that in "Delicious Love", she is a lovely woman exuding the aroma of delicious food, but compared to Julia's laughing aunt, this Mrs. Alder is more real. Seeing the scenery of santa barbara makes me feel more intimate. In the countryside of a sunny seaside town, she lives in a house with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large kitchen, bakes cakes and turkeys, cools a pot of green beans, sets the table with flowers, candles and delicate utensils, puts on a new dress and perfume, and waits The arrival of the ex-husband. The ex-husband was unable to sneak out due to the supervision of the current wife. The story is old-fashioned here. She blew out the candles, covered the cake, turned off the lights in the house one by one, and enjoyed a bitter and unbearable night alone.

But the women knew what that night was for, and it was a necessary night for women on the road to invincibility.

Hope is always a sharp edge if it happens in an inopportune place. Gatherings that should not be expected, people who should not be expected, the small flames of hope that fuel evil, can only be poured into the end by a basin of cold water.

Looking at Mrs. Mei, who still has the charm of her heart, she is so mature and perfect, but she still falls into the trap of hope, and you know that this trap cannot be avoided with a little emotional intelligence and intelligence. Humans are such fragile animals, even a wise person can hardly contend with year-round loneliness and loss. A little bit of warmth or temptation is just a straw floating on the water, and you can't let go if you grab it.

This is the pessimistic feeling when I saw more than half of the movie.

The story continues, the ex-husband is back, and the new boyfriend is eagerly waiting. Her hesitation hurts both of them at the same time, and of course herself. Facing the incomprehensible eyes of her three children who had just grown up, she made a decision. This time, she did not rely on alcohol, no marijuana, and she was born in a sober place to get up resolutely. The ex-husband was undoubtedly selfish, he looked back to her and saw her beauty again many years later, just because he forgot the moment when she was disheveled. When she raised three children for him, when she was running the family, when she was working hard, when she depended on and demanded from him, it was also when he abandoned her. Now that she has completed her children's upbringing, her career is going smoothly, she is no longer emotional, and when she is no longer dependent, he will come back. Man, hehe, he said "You're not too busy taking care of the kids, you're not catering on weekends, and I'm not so addicted to work anymore, we've all grown up to be the partners each other wants, shouldn't we be together? ?"

How selfish a man could be? !

Fortunately, Mrs. Mei didn't think about it so much. So the sunset turned red with it, and the battle ended peacefully before it hurt the muscles and bones. The two sat on the swing in front of the door, and the last bit of hormones also faded. Mrs. May won the respect that was overdue for ten years. He said that I don't regret falling in love with you again.

This old gentleman, you have finally said something sincere and kind.
