When it comes to daily life, it probably has little to do with the East, the West, Asia and Europe. No matter which country or culture, the trivial life of ordinary people is always similar. As a result, there are similar submissiveness, similar arrogance, similar careful planning, and similar joys and sorrows. The inferiority complex and simple and direct in the ignorant love of the youth, the self-willed self and compromise in the fiery love of the youth grow up, and the parents hold hands and grow old together. The director's storytelling ability and rhythm are very good. Obviously, it only takes one and a half hours, and every emotion is expressed incisively and directly to the heart.
The first time that such a fast-paced, lighthearted film made people cry was when Maria listened to the record L'étranger. The so-called emotional resonance is probably like this. It's not sadness, it's not longing, it's just an inexplicable move. It seems that at that moment, all the joys and sorrows condensed into a hot air, which rushed to the tip of the nose. The Chinese say that people who are good are bullied, horses are good to be ridden, and the French say trop bon, trop con. It's not that only diligent and talkative foreigners are "bullied" like this, but it's just that when the story happens to foreigners, it's especially easy to be heartbroken. As Maria said, they work hard, they never refuse others' requests, they are always kind, maybe just because they like it.
In this matter, no matter what country people are, there are always so many "smart people" who are making so many "stupid people" suffer, and foreigners seem to be more foolish because of their language weakness. It's just that it's hard to say whether it should be measured by a temporary gain or loss or a lifetime of misfortune and good fortune, not to mention the Chinese people of Ah Q have the philosophy that "a loss is a blessing". It's a pity that stupid people always have friends who are smart people, and they point fingers. From time to time, stupid people can't help but wonder if they are really stupid and have a bad life. But just like the Maria family, even if someone is taking advantage of their stupidity and making them suffer, but because of their kindness, they treat people and things without reservation. Therefore, there is such a family where fathers are kind and sons are filial, and brothers and sisters are respectful. love their friends. God is never fair, it's just that energy is conserved, and where some are lost, they will be found elsewhere. Therefore, after the small vent, Maria and her husband still suffered losses, or accumulated blessings as always.
It's hard to forget Maria telling José that they can't watch their grandson grow up. José reassured that it didn't matter, it was only a two-hour flight from Paris to Portugal, which was very convenient. Maria said, that's different. The two-hour flight distance has made it impossible for me to carry a small pot for him to vomit when he is sick. The most precious thing is the brilliance of a tea and a meal, and the distance of a glass of water. People who have lived in a foreign country for more than 30 years cannot forget their hometown, but when they can actually go back, they are not sure that it is really home and a place where they truly belong. A foreign country is a foreign land, but it is a place you are used to. There are familiar jobs, familiar traders, familiar friends, and even familiar unfriendly ones. She is timid and close to nostalgia. Fortunately, Paula met a husband who was willing to move to Portugal with her. No more hesitation, the daughter is there, the son-in-law is there, the future grandson is also there, the hometown, because of the familiar family, is no longer the stranger with familiar memory, but the real home.
