Speaking of the movie, Pippa Lee's private life. A midlife crisis, well, certainly counts as one. But maybe we can feel it from a bigger perspective.
It is nothing more than a story about how a girl with a problem started to let her go because of her drug-addicted mother, and then her rebellious period ended due to the appearance of an older middle-aged man, and she had no choice but to get on the right track. There are a lot of details about the choice, like how she happened to meet Herb, how she was bored and couldn't wait to dial that number in the morning. But it's not at all, it should happen once, but it just goes with the flow.
I think Pippa loves Herb. The idea that Pippa isn't love, so you're relieved to learn that her husband is cheating, isn't necessarily too mean. Of course this love obviously stems from a troubled teenage girl's reverence for a seasoned elder and a desire to be brought back to her normal life by a troubled teenage girl who
just lives elsewhere. Life is always elsewhere. It reminds me of Milan Kundera. But the atmosphere of this film is much more natural and gentle.
It was not until middle age that I felt lost, but there are many stages and so-called trajectories in life, and each stage has subtle or drastic changes, but we are often unaware. Put everyone back to the origin of history, maybe we will make the same choice. There is no difference. It's just that we all look forward to the unchosen paths because we haven't experienced them, so life is always elsewhere. But life is like this. We are all people pushed away by the fate and environment. Feel it while adapting. There is nothing wrong with choosing to take the seemingly indisputable path at precisely that point, but we are often willing to approach our confusion with a sense of nostalgia and introspection. But it doesn't matter, in the end we will always find an exit, there will always be relief.
Everyone wants to start a new life when there's no outlets to be found, we just never know how to start. So whenever there's a possible chance, we seize it. Maybe It cannot be called a impulse, it's just following our hearts at that moment .
