A good movie always makes people think. After watching the movie The Family Man, I remembered Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both.

Life is full of choices, not necessarily Each is correct. Does it have to be the right one? Is the choice the right one now seems to be? Or do others think it's right? If Jack hadn't stepped on the plane to London he would have been a family man with a wife everyone envied, children and daughters, a small but cozy house. But in this life, it is impossible to become the number one person on Wall Street, and there is no chance to handle the merger case of hundreds of millions of yuan. There are 2 roads in the garden. In fact, both of them are good. You can see beautiful scenery. It doesn't matter what you choose. trail. The choice of life path may not be the same, if you can walk wonderfully, it is the most important.

People influence each other, and sometimes when you make a choice, it is often not you alone. When Jack heard that Kate did not become a public interest lawyer, he was surprised. He did not expect that Kate would give up his ideals because of his original decision. In fact, I was also very surprised. Following the line of the film, I thought that Kate would stick to his ideals. Fortunately, the director was not as idealistic as I was. The end of the movie didn't directly bring the two back together, they just had a talk. In the end, who will give up what, it doesn't really matter what you choose, there is no prefect life, different choices make different life. Don't just live on those What-ifs !

PS: I think if Andy Warhol comes to make a sequel, it's very likely Both of them didn't give up, each sighed for a while and then went back to their respective homes, each was wonderful.
