Merry and Jerry are colleagues. The former is a woman who was married several times when she was young and is currently single and has no children. The latter is a woman with a happy family. Although they have always maintained a good relationship, Murray is well acquainted with Jerry's husband, Tom, and their child, 30-year-old Joe. However, this is after all a relationship between a single woman and a happy family. This kind of relationship can be very harmonious on the surface, good friends, old acquaintances, like relatives... But the reality is also a relationship between the two with great contrast. To maintain a balance and perfection, as Merry, who lacks life experience, lives alone, and is somewhat self-motivated, it is necessary to maintain a healthy and optimistic heart in order to be able to communicate with this family harmoniously.
Murray is actually pretty, I think she's much prettier than Joe's girlfriend Katie. But she is old. When she heard that Joe had a girlfriend, the "jealousy" that she shouldn't have was written on her face without reservation, which was unacceptable to the Jerry family and became a point of change in their relationship. This woman who lacks life experience, doesn't know how to cook, and doesn't know what the car's displacement is, is actually not easy to live! If she had a husband and a happy family, I think she would be a very lovely wife and mother! However, she doesn't have that. She said that she always met the "wrong person", she told Joe that she was a very optimistic person, that she was living a happy life... but this sounds like a must for self-protection for single people.
In the final shot, Jerry and Tom talk about their acquaintances and their travels, and Murray sits awkwardly, tired and lonely...I mean, you should get out of here, not put this The place is a "peacful place", looking for some kind of solace as soon as you feel the need, it will only make people feel that you are a "poor woman", in fact, I don't think Jerry regarded you as a sister from the beginning... …It is difficult for a single woman to live in harmony with a happy family, and even if it looks perfect on the surface, it cannot offset the loneliness and envy inherent in the former. How a single woman can live in harmony with a happy family is a delicate subject. .
In reality, those single friends who kept saying "Ah, how I envy your freedom" while trapped in the family, smiled at her and let it go. You let her out, try? No matter what state we are in, it's our own choice, that's true. But also because we were lucky, or not so lucky. Who would be grateful for this or laugh at himself frankly. Merry of all kinds in life, good luck to you, and good luck to myself!
