To the self who will no longer be provocative

Today is Mother's Day. I wish my mother a happy Mother's Day in the morning. I watched this little woman in the afternoon. The warm time is always nostalgic. When I saw someone in the circle of friends braved the rain to go home because of my mother's saying "I'll be very happy when you come back", the eye circles became wet.
When he was young, he left his hometown full of ambition, eager to make some achievements and return home. It was only after I came out that I realized that it was very difficult to go back to my hometown, no matter whether my original ambitions were realized or not.
In a sense, the four little women represent four ideas. Meg's love for wealth (which isn't obvious in the movie) ends up marrying a poor governess; Jo, who wanders the world of literature, ends up in a dramatic way, marrying a talented foreigner People; Beth is an ordinary girl, she is not as assertive and talented as the other sisters, but she lives a colorful life in her own world; Amy is the youngest, but she knows what she wants best .
When I was young, when I was reading novels, I always wondered why Joe refused Lauren's proposal, and even felt that because of her refusal, everyone dispersed and went in different directions in life. Now it seems that she feels that she must refuse, because what she wants is not a playmate who can bring prosperity and wealth, but a soul mate who can absorb spiritual wealth together.
As for Amy, I'm afraid it wasn't just for wealth that she married Lauren, although she said she would never marry a poor man. In Joe's view, Lauren is just a friend who grew up together, but for Amy, he is the neighbor brother who has always looked up to him. He makes sweet promises for himself. Who wouldn't want to marry such a person? .
Among the four sisters, the most satisfying is Kirsten Dunst. Show Amy's assertive side to the fullest.

A little digression, I'm currently studying American legal history, which is the history of the 19th century. Only 200 years ago, the entire human society has undergone earth-shaking changes in 200 years. You can imagine that Joe was still advocating feminism at that time, but now Hillary is going to participate in the US election. In two hundred years, how much has changed, and how many things have survived. Women 200 years ago, read plays, practiced painting, music, strived to improve themselves, and lived as elegant little women. Today, we have the same rights as men on the surface, but we are still bound by the residual concept of inferiority and inferiority in our hearts, and there is no way to truly be free.
The movie failed to express what Ma Qi's mother said in the novel, "It's better to be a happy old girl than an unhappy wife", "If you have your own home, you can be a good wife and a good mother, if not, you can stay in peace. Here", "Whether married or single, is the pride and comfort in our lives." Mama March 200 years ago could have such a concept, which is also a very enlightened concept in our opinion today. Allowing a woman to fight for survival is what feminism really means, isn't it?
