Run through the whole movie

At the beginning of the film, there is no background music, and the camera is brought straight into the room of a messy old house girl, thus dooming the sad and realistic tone of the film. Heavy dark circles, a numb face that can no longer be numb, even a date makes people uninterested. Another morning with a hangover, when she woke up, the man beside her had an arm pressed against her. Suddenly, she made up her mind to go back to her hometown and see her old lover.
Then the hostess took the dog and drove back to Mercury Town. Hellokitty didn't even change her pajamas, how sloppy she was. She played her long-held music tape over and over again along the way. (Minicooper can still play that kind of tape. It’s an old style. It’s very interesting. I really like the filming of the tape details in the title, which reminds people of the era of listening to tapes!) When I arrived at the hotel in town, the receptionist was very pleasant. The disgusted can no longer dislike the voice, showing the dull quality of this town. After a while of arranging the luggage in a hurry, I called the old lover and left a message. After hanging up the phone, I decided to put on my armor and go to the bar to get drunk. I received a call from my old lover at the door of the bar. In the bar, she met a high school male classmate, a certain otaku, and chatted for a while, and then she told the otaku that she was back to seduce her old lover and wanted to get back with her old lover, but the otaku tried to discourage her.
The next day, I got dressed up and went on a date with my old lover at a fast food restaurant. It seemed to be going well, and it seemed that I no longer felt like it. Back at the hotel, pulling my hair out, watching old music videos. Suddenly called the otaku, then went to the otaku's house, met the otaku's sister, and drank the wine that the otaku had kept for many years.
On the third day, after dressing up again, I went to my old lover's house and met his wife and daughter, and had an awkward and sharp conversation. Then went to the bar to watch his wife's mom band play. It wasn't until the show started that the heroine knew that the song they played was the one she played and played along the way. She drank a glass of wine and asked her old lover if she still remembered this song. It was the one when they were together. time to play song? The old lover did not answer. (Deeply hurt!) The hostess sent her old lover off and kissed for a short time at the door, and the old lover hurried home to take the child. This meeting once again made the heroine feel the sadness and powerlessness of the passage of time. So the hostess got a hangover from the otaku again, and when she returned to the hotel, she crashed the car.
On this day, the old lover called and asked the hostess to attend his baby's naming party, and the hostess agreed. Then, the heroine met her mother on the road and was taken home. At home, the heroine reminisces about her lost youth in her teenage room. Open the closet and put on my favorite pullover.
Going to the party this time, it is another time to dress up, more attentive and more beautiful than the previous two. She put on a thick, dark lipstick in front of the mirror. Imposingly came to the party, found an old lover, in a small room, a showdown. According to the tone of the film, there is no doubt that this confession will be tragic. The old lover rejected the heroine and left. In the end, because the old lover's wife accidentally spilled wine on the heroine's silk dress, the heroine completely collapsed, yelled, and said the bitterness of many years ago, because she was not in good health, and the child of her old lover was miscarried. , leading to later regrets. In the end, he had a big quarrel with all the people, and in the eyes of everyone looking at the neurotic patient, he turned around and left.
Finally, I came to the otaku's house and slept with the otaku all night. What a tragedy, what a desperate trip, the heroine wakes up and drinks coffee with the otaku's sister. The otaku sister told the heroine how great the heroine is, the people here are fat and stupid, and the world in the city is truly beautiful. This sentence inspired the heroine and decided to go back to the city. The otaku sister asked to take her to the city with her. The heroine looked at her and said: No, you belong here. (Why not take her, poor little girl...) The
hostess threw her favorite jumper, took her dog, robbed the hotel doughnut, drove her rotten minicooper to the new The future is off.
This film doesn't say anything earth-shattering, it doesn't say something deeply touching, but it says plainly that an older leftover woman wants to regain her past beauty and makes efforts, but she still can't match the power of the world. What the heroine wants, maybe she doesn't know, and in the end she can only hide in the teenage novel she wrote, reminiscing over and over again, that good time. The details of the whole film are very flavorful, and many places will make people feel the same. It is suitable for watching when a person is bored, and it will make people more aware of what should be cherished at the moment.
