In fact, the themes of the two dramas are very similar. They both take oneself to another completely different life through some fantasy techniques, and then a series of perceptions and thoughts are triggered. The only difference is that in "Return to Seventeen", after the male protagonist returns to the past, he suddenly realizes that the current life is the day he wants the most, the most satisfied and the happiest. In "Family Man", the male protagonist thinks he is very satisfied with his current life, but only later finds out that the other choice he made back then was the life he wanted the most in his heart, not the current one full of materialistic desires. Fame and fortune.
I clearly remember that Christmas Eve night in the movie, the hero Jack had an accident with a robber in a tavern. At first he tried to enlighten the robber, he said, "Everyone needs help." So the robber asked him, "Then what do you need, Jake?" Jack answered confidently with open arms, "I have everything!" We can see the contemptuous mockery of the robber's mouth curved: "Then you have to remember, you brought it on yourself."
Jack never thought that the robber was a fantastic character, so the story goes from here kicked off the real prelude. He bid farewell to the luxurious and fast-paced life of successful men in the past, and when he woke up, he became a real family man.
In fact, many times, we don’t even understand ourselves, we always think that we understand ourselves and control the whole world, that we can be powerful and omnipotent. However, don't be too self-righteous, because while you are laughing at other people's stupidity, don't forget that there are people behind your back laughing at your ignorance.
I think the robber had such a mocking mentality back then that he decided to let Jack experience another life.
In fact, there are always many things in life for us to choose. If any of these choices becomes different, then we will become completely different today. What matters is not the process, but the final result, whether it comes from the satisfaction of the heart.
A lot of times we are advertised as "walking at the intersection of the rice and the word in life", complaining that if it wasn't for a choice made at the beginning, it would not be so bad now, but how much better it would be; or we deceive ourselves and force ourselves to believe in the original. Choosing to create today's success is the best result, but ignoring the real thoughts in your heart and not knowing what you want.
In fact, no matter whether you are the former or the latter, whether you are Mike in "Back to Seventeen" or Jack in "Family Man", when making choices, it is only by being true to your heart. is the most important. Because there is no such a mysterious person in this world, who gives you the right to choose again. You must know that there is no regret medicine in the world. Only by choosing to be faithful to your heart can you have no regrets! As someone said, in the corridor of time and life, everything is just like a cloud, and the most important thing is that you must see yourself clearly!
Finally, I borrowed the lines from "Back to Seventeen" to encourage each other: "When you are young, everything is like the end of the world. It's not really, it's just the beginning. You may meet more bad guys, But one day you will meet a boy who will treat you like a treasure, like the sun rising and setting, all with you."
