Thinking of Zheng Zhihua's "Your Birthday", "Some people in this world have nothing, and some people have too much." There are some people who seem to have been abandoned by God, living alone and down, without even a single person to speak to. Such as Mary; or talking, but still lonely, such as Ronnie.
Did God give up on them, or did he give up on himself?
Is it because of fate or because of your own choice?
The four seasons in the movie seem to correspond to life. In spring, what kind of seeds you sow, what kind of fruits you reap in autumn, this may be the reason why Tom and Jerry's family is warm and happy.
At the end, I looked at Mary's confused eyes, and I felt very sad. I really wanted to say to her: When spring comes, let's grow some vegetables, learn to cook, learn to love yourself, and don't just accept tomatoes from others. Well, everything will slowly get better!
Birth, old age, sickness, and death, none of which can be controlled by ourselves, but there are always some things that we can do, right?
Also, about time. I remember it was in the "summer" period, when friends got together to talk about the past, and it was easy to think of themselves. Life keeps giving us different identities, and the focus of life shifts unknowingly. Friends have gradually changed from intimacy to alienation, and gradually lost contact. Some are just more space distance, while others are more heart distance. Really frustrating.
