life is so

I have watched a lot of movies about expectations, about the lives changed by heroes and the lives enriched by others. But this film is about its own life.

Cold and warm self-awareness, everyone has their own helplessness. The protagonist couple has reached middle age, and they are in a lot of distress. The male protagonist's career has not improved, and he is still under the shadow of his successful husband; the marriage with his wife was not so romantic at first, and now it is no longer passionate; his peers have children, but the two cannot have children. Life is bleak, but it has to go on.

We always expect others to be the nobles of life and change our lives. The director arranged for them a noble person-a young couple, the natural way they get along, their young lifestyle, their fresh marriage, and their insistence on themselves, all attract the couple who have been in a mid-life crisis. Everything seems to be alive. They gradually distanced themselves from their friends of the same age, began to learn the lifestyle of a young couple, and everything seemed to be pretty good.

But dreams always wake up. Finally, the male protagonist found that his personal connections began to become the connections of the second male, and this kid was using him from the very beginning. Other things were terrible too, their former friends didn't call them for a party, and their relationship with the young couple was a bit muddled. Due to his own stubbornness and the shrewdness and competitiveness of young people, he soon lost everyone's support, and the second male made his own movie instead of his dream. The male protagonist who wanted to save finally found evidence that the male second was not being kind, but he was just superior in morality. Well, he did use means, so what? But he did make movies that you couldn't make in years.

This feeling of frustration is not wrong at all. When I was young, I thought that vitality would last forever and love would last forever, but when the glory became the past and I was finally surpassed, the unwillingness and powerlessness seemed to be laughing at myself. So I had to think that life is so helpless, negative and pessimistic.

But who is not experiencing the process of gradually becoming independent and gradually being replaced. Instead of expecting the support of others and expecting yourself to be irreplaceable, it is better to make your own choices and enjoy your own growth. This is the gift that life finally gives.
