the courage to persevere

I don't quite understand what the movie wants to convey. I feel that the ending that "should" happen in the end did not happen. I feel that when the heroine's life is about to get on the right track, she is dragged back into the original messy and meaningless life.
How to say, after thinking about it, maybe the director wants to express his attitude towards life from another angle. Everyone has a different life, and it seems that people who are not satisfied with themselves but always envy the lives of others have become a common problem in modern cities. The heroine hopes to return to her past to find youth, which is actually to find the most beautiful appearance in her heart. She is confident and arrogant, just like all the heroines in Yan Xiaozhong - the kind of girl I hate the most, but I admire her for having the courage to insist on herself so much - in that way, she thinks that she has countless wealth and that she has nothing can not. But the truth hit her hard. She is beautiful and arrogant with capital, but the blow started to make her deny herself in an all-round way, and she was lost.
Maybe in my opinion, such a loss will bring a good result, but what cannot be ignored is that she is already 37 years old. I think a woman can live to that age, not to mention self-motivation and honor and disgrace, no Talking about the belief that she wants to keep getting stronger, the beauty she was most proud of at that time has passed away, leaving only the heart that does not want to grow up. At this time, she can't stand the feeling of being lost. The worldview that she spent so many years building completely collapsed in one second. It's hard for a child to bear it. All she needs is to find time to grow up. So in the end, what the girl said to her really calmed herself down, and she returned to her original life. Although it was chaotic, at least she got used to it, and she had the confidence to live on.
If no one insists on self, then we exist in a boring world without novelty.
