I'm not an extreme movie fan, and I don't have a herd mentality in the choice of movies. The main reasons that attract me to watch are either classics, or unique in art, or related to professionalism, or for my own desires, or there are my favorite star. I watched "The Private Life of Pippa Lee" because there was Levi's in it, otherwise I would never have watched this type of movie. To be honest, movies such as "Pippa Lee's Private Life" and "Revolutionary Road" are just like the novel "Chicken Feather in One Place", showing the triviality in life, a kind of mediocrity and a kind of helplessness in life. Expressing dissatisfaction with ordinary life and yearning for a new life. Of course, people cannot pull out their own hair and leave the earth. It is very difficult to realize this kind of longing. Generally, it will either lead to tragedy or return to orbit. In order to attract audiences, these kinds of films often find some big stars, such as "Revolutionary Road", such as "Kleiman and Mrs. Kleiman", because these kinds of films that rely on ramble on chicken feathers do not see the skill of the actors.
"The Private Life of Pippa Lee" is such a movie. I didn't feel anything when I watched it for the first time. I replayed it when I had time that day, and finally understood the general idea: the protagonist is the wife of a famous publisher. , has a son and a daughter, and lives well. The story begins when they move to a small town villa. On the one hand, life is bumpy. The husband is very taboo to say that he is old, and he is always dissatisfied with the protagonist's care for him. On the one hand, the protagonist recalls her life experience from childhood to adulthood. Two clues are interspersed. In this way, the camera jumps around, and the thoughts cannot keep up with the eyes, so it is difficult to understand the reason for the story. In reality, the protagonist can't bear the current life. A divorced son of a neighbor friend comes back to attract her attention. After going back and forth, the two have a relationship, and the husband hooks up with a friend of the protagonist outside. As for why the relationship between the two became like this, in the memory, the protagonist tells about the influence of her mother on her after she was born, the influence of family and friends on her, and the process of marrying her current husband later, which led to the suicide of her husband's ex-girlfriend. Her influence has made her feel guilty about this marriage, living in a kind of self-restraint, unable to pursue the feelings in her heart. Later, her husband's cheating was discovered by her, her guilt finally disappeared, she felt a balance in her mind, and she felt that she could seek her own new life. The stimulated husband leads to brain death, and the protagonist finally gets rid of the shackles and embarks on a new path with his sweetheart.
I remember watching the movie "The Kleimans" from the perspective of life ethics, but when I watched "Revolutionary Road", I saw that people were helpless in a kind of mediocre life. There is no reason here. , the world is like this, when it is turbulent, it hopes for stability, when it is stable, it wants passion, and when it is mediocre, it pursues a kind of excitement, which often brings a tragic fate that cannot be controlled.
Although "Pippa Lee's Private Life" gave the audience a happy ending, the new life of the protagonist has just hit the road, and the future results are really hard to say.
