Gary is a psychologist, calm, gentle and kind. She is a plain looking woman who is far from beautiful. She and her husband Tom, a erudite and refined geological engineer, live a peaceful rural life in the suburbs of London. They live together for thirty years. It has been many years, and now I am about to enter old age, and my son has reached the age of 30. The Gary family lived their own lives peacefully following the sunrise and sunset during work, travel, vegetable gardens, food, and gatherings. The years were as bright as the reincarnation of the four seasons, and the poems were as beautiful as poetry. Mary is Gary's friend, and the film is haunted from start to finish by the poor woman's decrepit face, delicate clothing, and boozy whining and whining. She had a bad life: single and unhappy, alcoholic, didn't want to learn anything, feared growing old, absurdly pitiful trying to stay young: flirting with strangers in bars, flirting with friends' sons... The small garden that was alive and never tended was as decayed and desolate as her soul.
Mary's life seemed to be kidnapped by the idea that youth, sexiness, beauty, and cuteness were the most valuable things a woman could have, and nothing else. When Mary was a young waitress on a Greek island, she was sexy and beautiful, and her life was full of hope, but this hope was attached to something so fragile and fragile.
That kind of values ruined her life. She could only stumble around on the narrow muddy road, longing for someone to save her, hoping to find someone she could rely on, and taking male and female love as the whole of her life and her only pursuit. and achievements. Mrs. Bennet of Austin, Mrs. Bovary of Flaubert... These poor women still fill every corner of the world. They are not angels, nor devils, nor sphinxes, they are just people who have been reduced to semi-slavery by the stupid habits of society. - Simone de Beauvoir They were not born that way, they were instigated and encouraged to be this way - they were castrated almost from birth. Homeschool books and media are full of men's power and voice. The mother uses the rope that has bound her all her life to bind her daughter out of revenge she doesn't understand. The husband tries to convince his wife that she is ignorant and incompetent but very "cute" Small things make her lose her self-confidence, opinions, and freedom. She can only crawl all her life, be bound, manipulated, and become a reproductive tool for housework slaves... The nature is stifled, and they are transformed into women—secondary sex—secondary Gender, being weak and brainless seems to be their nature, but her nature is actually as good as him or even better than him. When she was born, she had the same free nature as a man, and could do anything and become anyone, but all of this was deprived and hit, and some of them could only hone their brains and minds in the cracks. poor woman! The film uses the life of the Gary family to paint us a warm-toned picture of life. Gary works and lives step by step every day, maintaining the habit of inner vigilance and introspection. She's the kind of person who can help others and keep a healthy distance from them, hug a frustrated and weeping Ken, let a drunken Mary sleep over, and accept Tom's widowed brother to live at home without judging or interfering with others. Life is neither manipulating others nor being manipulated by others.
Gary is a relatively complete person. Perhaps the plain appearance saves her from being tainted by worldly glitz, and she can focus on her heart and have a full life. She brings hope and confidence to others, while maintaining a relatively independent spiritual realm, so she can listen carefully to the sounds and changes of nature, and enjoy the gifts from heaven: not only the fruits of the earth, the life of the four seasons, but also the reason and wisdom, A rich spiritual world... She has the unique quiet and rationality of the British, as well as the wisdom and humor of McLee and the deep insight into life. She's a true free woman, rich with four seasons of wealth... Probably one of the perfect lifestyles for a woman.
