The kindness of pipa always comes from a longing for the future, that kind of reckless choice

Since pipa saw her aunt's girlfriend getting nervous because she was beaten, that kind of happiness like a deer made me think she is really cute. One cuteness is her ability to be loved and warmed, and one cuteness is her inherently kind intuition. So only she was driven crazy by her mother's "unwillingness to be herself" and chose to leave, and only she was willing to "desperate" and never thought about losing.

When pipa met Herb for the first time, it was like a baby just out of the womb. Herb is like an incomparably charming landscape in the adult world, making her want to get close. And pipa's kindness and casualness have consolidated the old man's cognition of his current wife, who has lost her vitality and kindness and simplicity. We always yearn for simplicity after becoming complicated and sophisticated, but misunderstood that simplicity is always someone else and will not involve you. When Herb's ex-wife swallowed the gun, it all started with the greatest drama, ended and started with the most irreversible circumstances.

When pipa entered into her marriage with Herb, she began to learn about ordinary life, no more dramatic mothers, no more aunty friends who took sm photos, no more countless sex and drugs. Live in restraint, more and more restraint.

Herb's derailment, pipa's wanting to derail, and the home so close to her childhood have all brought loss and joy to life. So good, broken, and I'm liberated.

The kindness of pipa always comes from a desire for the future, the kind of reckless choice, and fearless to experience.

So beautiful.

(PS: I felt very moved after watching the movie, but I didn’t feel anything similar to mine in the comments, so I wrote my own.)
