"The Waitress"

Many bad things are portrayed in movies. For example, people who are broken-hearted are always workaholics, and miserable people can have reasons to seek physical and mental comfort. Too many movies have rather qualitative endings. The public will pay attention to those things in the movie, they will cry and laugh about it, and they will habitually accept the ideal ending that transcends reality. Sometimes, the audience sees the dream as reality, and possibly the reality as a dream. Almost all movies are like this, comforting everyone with hallucinations, and everyone arranges their spiritual catharsis through hallucinations.
Waitress is not like that. This tender work is actually cruel and sharp. Although it is packed with comedy elements, it really tells the sadness and joy of real life. Such joys and sorrows in the life of waitress Jenna did not transcend reality into drama at all. The director herself is a woman, and the emotional life of her delicate style statement has long reproduced the embarrassment of modern social emotions and the cruelty of reality. This kind of work is obviously motivated by feelings, not to ask the truth, not to whitewash peace, not to expose criticism, but more like a calm thinking process, trying to find a way out in life.
God always arranges some truths to be proved in fate. The price of obtaining the truth can be described as expensive, and the struggle and coercion are shared, so that the cry of human instinct to stand out from the siege is sometimes weak and sometimes lacking. After all, between bad luck and warm ideals, people are more likely to be influenced by the former, and they will be damaged both physically and mentally. The story of "Waitress" is a bit spicy, and the taste is relatively heavy. It is estimated that Americans are also very puzzled, let alone us who are still traditional. However, really strip away the aesthetic standards of traditional culture, and one immediately discovers a person's true reaction to a moment of desperation in life.
As a woman, Jenna is jolted by emotional loss and is always looking for the necessary pivot. Unfortunately, got pregnant when I was about to ask for a divorce. Jenna is very talented even as a waiter who can create delicious pies of art. In the same way that good people can always handle nasty guests, Jenna can make pie with emotions. Such people must be simple and innocent, and are often bullied by their childish self. Often compromising, always with a hint of fantasy, hoping that some important people can get better, hoping that things will not continue to be bad. This way of living supports itself until despair.
