goodbye, grumpy

Recently, I watched Wild Flowers at the End of the Road, Another Year, Lover of Fire, Sweet 18 years old, and the most impressive one is another year. It seems that this kind of life drama is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and sometimes it is really impossible to feel the same. Resentful woman. If it weren't for a laughing optimist like Katie, or a taciturn old man like Ronnie, it would be lovable, anyway, it wouldn't be Mary. When Gerri finally couldn't bear to say Mary, this is my family.

What kind of person was Mary that even the Emperor Yin Ren couldn't bear it? A single and divorced older middle-aged female, she goes to her friend Gerri's house to be a light bulb every week. At first, Gerri saw her lonely and invited her to be a guest every week. Later, Gerri didn't care about her anymore, so she came uninvited. Every time I go to a friend's house, Mary starts complaining about what happened recently and what bad luck happened on the way. Gerri and Tom actually coped with it in black humor (really Love this old couple so much). As long as there was Mary, there was resentment and negativity, and for so long, she was probably the only friend who had been holding back her for so long, like Gerri.

It's okay to complain about yourself. When Gerri's son came home with his girlfriend, Mary was so jealous, please be someone's Auntie Mary! It's so sad that a good family gathering is full of Mary's negative energy. Such a "friend" is really scary. I don't clean my house all day long, I don't have any hobbies of my own, I finally bought a car and don't take care of it carefully. In the end, I was full of complaints. No matter how kind you are, it can't offset everyone's disgust for you, you are unhappy yourself, and you have to make everyone unhappy with you. Pull down the grudge.

Everyone has their own disappointments. Life needs easter eggs, not your complaints.

Another Year quotes

  • Tom: I seem to remember you got banned from a number of pubs in Hull for shouting about nothing when you were a young person.

    Ken: [retelling the event] "Ken, we like you. You're a good bloke, you're good on the darts, but if you talk about politics again, you're barred!".

    [both burst into laughter]

  • Mary: But he wasn't a bad person. He loved me.

    Tom: Sounds to me that he was a duplicitous shit.
