We have been changed beyond recognition by fate

People with life experience can understand this movie only if they sink their hearts down. It's a really good movie. It's like every detail in life. You don't know when the fate secretly changes. Those details are despair and consciousness. When Mary was drunk and talked about her ex-husband and her little house, when she looked at the warm conversation between the protagonist's family of three in the early morning, it was the real despair and coldness.

When three old friends chatted in the yard late at night, talking about themselves when they were young, how hopeless was the loneliness when they were old, and the good friends when they were young also died of old age one by one. Seeing that tree will remind you of your friend's funeral. , this scene made me teary-eyed, and I began to think, how lonely it would be if one day I was getting old and all the friends I was most familiar with left this world. But I thought of how happy it was to have friends with me all the way to Laodou. This movie made me realize for the first time that getting old is such a sad thing, that it is so pitiful to have no one by your side when you are old.

At the end of the film, Mary sits at the heroine's house in winter, and the heroine's family of four lively chatting about their lives. Perhaps she didn't realize until then that she had been abandoned long ago. But in fact, it was her who abandoned her, her attitude towards life.

Everyone's life has its own problems, and the protagonist couple is like a little sun with a powerful energy field, tolerant of all friends. Every injured friend comes to them from afar. They are gifts from God to ordinary people. . With such a good friend, when you are lonely and desperate, someone will always open their arms to you and give you a cup of hot tea. It's a blessing to have such a friend, but the happiest thing should be to be such a person.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, year after year, our lives are in an unknown corner, quietly undergoing changes that we are not aware of, and eventually become unrecognizable. Nine times out of ten, life doesn't go your way, and if we resist life negatively, we end up making a mess of ourselves.


It is a movie worth savoring, seeing despair in the details, and there is warmth in despair. I saw a short comment that made young people want to die, middle-aged people wanted to die early, and the elderly died straight away, and there is no lack of sadness besides humor. But I still see warmth and hope in the movie, and the protagonist's family is very happy. Those who screwed up their lives abandoned it themselves. Like Mary, they only knew how to complain about themselves, so life lived up to expectations and gave her despair.

Year after year, our lives are quietly changing in a corner. What kind of me have I become this year? How about you?

    Mike Lee's "Four Seasons on Earth", through the sad spring, the prickly summer, the romantic autumn and the dead winter, we can see that in life, in the garden, the exterior is bright but the interior is blooming and fruiting, withering and failing. scenery. The protagonist "The Cat and the Mouse Couple" is more like watching the relatives and friends around him from the perspective of a bystander, reflecting and self-reflection. One year spent similar, each year is different

    Mike Lee's works are always full of the truth of life, tranquil but straight to the heart...

  • Mary: I'm very much a glass-half-full kind of girl. But it's tricky, because... I meet these older men who want somebody younger, and that's great, because I fit the bill. But... when they find out that... you know, I'm not as young as they thought, they don't want to know. My looks work against me.

  • Gerri: Life's not always kind, is it?

    Mary: No, it isn't Gerri.
