Comparable to "The Life of Adele"?

Actually, this one looks pretty good overall. Even seeing Jules and Paul in bed, I didn't worry too much. It seemed that Nic and Jules would definitely put their lives back on track, and this little episode would allow them to re-understand themselves, each other and their family.

When watching "Adele's Life", it was emotional ups and downs. She was happy for them to be together, worried that their life was getting boring, worried and helpless for losing their enthusiasm, and finally cried like a dog when Adele cheated and they broke up.

It is a combination of strong and weak, why are there different results?

Nic is a doctor, she is capable enough to support a family of four by herself, and she loves Jules and the children very much, and doesn't want them to suffer and worry, and wants to control everything by herself. She projected herself on her daughter, hoping that her daughter would also excel. This expectation may also be because the daughter has inherited her genes. For the son born by Jules, she seems to be more doting, as if to expand her love for Jules to her son. It's not that she doesn't want Jules to work, she doesn't want to trap her at home, but maybe because of her busy work later, the communication between them gradually decreases, and Nic gradually understands Jules' ideas and abilities. not enough. This gave Jules a sense of emptiness of "not being valued and not being recognized". If even Nic, the most important person, doesn't recognize her, it's not surprising that Jules feels that she is a "middle-aged lace who has done nothing and is unemployed at home", she is eager to start a business, and enters a short-lived relationship with Paul (neither Well, it's love, because it's more like the joy of being affirmed), it's not surprising.

Emma is a painter. Of course, Emma also loves Dumb very much, from physical to spiritual love. Ah'Dai is kind and simple, and is willing to radiate his concern for Emma to Emma's friends. However, he has to admit that Ah'Dai's integration into Emma's life has failed. She can take care of Emma's daily life, but what Emma wants is not a young and beautiful nanny. One is a student studying painting. He knows many colleagues and friends. He discusses Sartre and philosophy, and gradually he also has art exhibitions and becomes famous. The other became a kindergarten teacher after graduating from liberal arts—it’s nothing in itself—and locked himself in “I just like children, so I’m a teacher, I like stories, but I only like listening to stories, not writing them. , I can't create it either." People who only repeat, do not create and output will not be interesting people, even if the pasta is good, it is just a fool who can make pasta. Of course, it's not that Emma's career has a decisive influence. It's just that a person like Emma who is imaginative, romantic, and loves inspiration and philosophy will fall in love with a beautiful and kind girl. It must be painful. Emma is also very sad to break up with Ah Dai, but she has to do it so that their lives will not be ruined.

Jules has been at home since the birth of his son. Taking care of children for more than ten years, I also started a business during this period, but to no avail. But it can be seen that Jules is a very assertive, organized, and empathetic person. When Nic has a quick temper, Jules is always calm when he gets angry with Paul; when Nic asks his son about the recent situation, he can't wait to ask directly "are you gay", Jules is still explaining to his son why the mothers are Watch gay movies. It's really funny to watch here, and one can't help but love the character Jules. This is an interesting person. Although she has no job and is a housewife, she is also the soul of the family. But Ah'Dai is... In fact, Ah'Dai is also cute, but the frequency of her thought quivering can't keep up with Emma's high rhythm. So tragic.

[Bad] I feel like this article could be renamed "On the Importance of Being an Interesting Person"
