But in the last scene of the film Paul had to turn to the fourth woman he met - this woman was much older and uglier than the previous ones - Paul lay in her arms as if to let her go At the mercy of her, she just wants to stay alive under her shelter. From Paul's encounters, we can get a glimpse of the relationship between men and women in American society at that time. In addition, the movie should be the ancestors of Xu Zheng and Ning Haoren in the 囧tu series and Han Han's "There will be no future".
