What is the crisis of middle-aged couples?

Big mouth goddess Angelina Jolie's third directed film "By the Sea" and her husband Brad Pitt, staged the screen husband and wife team for the second time.

In fact, I watched the whole film slowly and boringly, but if I didn't watch it in the process, I really didn't know what story I was telling.
And it is precisely like this that the beginning of the story does not have too much explanation, but has a kind of impact and contrast. When the couple came to this French seaside, they watched Pete go out drunk every day and thought he was a fussy uncle, and went out to wave. Instead, I feel distressed that Julie is locked in the room every day.
But as the story continued, it was discovered that the protagonist of the film was Jolie's wife, a depressed and barren wife.

Jolie's performance is obviously much better than her husband Pitt, whether it is the image of the goddess who starts to be cold, or the image of the little woman in the room who has lost her soul. Jolie's expressiveness makes a depressed patient vividly and vividly, so that the movie can still arouse the audience's desire to watch the movie in a somewhat bland and slow way of telling.

When the story creates a contrasting impression, it is precisely the most attractive part of the film. Then the two began to find their feelings for each other by arguing, struggling, communicating, and even peeping at other people's sexual affairs.
Among them, it is the most interesting for two people to peek at the sexual affairs of the young couple next door. Two lovers who have been asexual for many years but like to peep at a newly married couple. Although it sounds a bit perverted, it is the bridge between the two to untie each other's heart.

A newly-married young couple, a middle-aged couple who are emotionally confused, and two pairs of lovers who form contrasts actually give the audience a deep thought. It's easy to fall in love with someone, but it's not easy to love someone for a lifetime. Just like the man of the young couple said: He believes that they (Jolie and Pitt) can get through the difficulties of the relationship. If you love each other, you must persist and not give up, and if you love each other, you must find a way to help each other solve the difficulties.
When love changes from a confession to a promise of protection, the responsibility to shoulder is not alone, and the fate to be assumed is that the two are closely linked.
