There are a lot of movies and TV shows with the theme of urban chick (or old girl), the new generation includes "Big City Girl", "London Life", and then to the famous "Bankrupt Sisters", "Cleveland", compared to the above But the sisters who are generally positive, the bachelorette Maiwes lives alone, is alcoholic, single and sloppy, which makes the actor Theron described as haggard with bags under his eyes, loses his hair at every turn, and exudes depression all over his body. In the latter's film resume, it is rare to be so disrespectful. people like it.
Maiweis, who was also a man of high school when he was young, is beautiful and popular (only for boys). But the beauty has always been high-spirited, and Ms. Maiweis hates everything in the small town where she was born and grew up. The original words are "this ghostly place that smells of disgusting fish".
After the school day is over, the adult time is completely useless. Ms. Mewes lives in a single apartment, works as a shadow writer and writes junk novels, and lives a sloppy life behind closed doors. One landing.
People often miss the past when they are weak and empty. Just need any excuse that seems to be reluctant, and you can immediately step on the puddle ahead.
With a clear mind, Ms. Maiweis concluded that her ex-boyfriend still had affection for her based on a crooked e-mail of the regular full moon naming banquet, and found the motivation of life in an instant: The lover is still old, I am going to take it. He's rescued from a boring town with no regard for his ex-boyfriend's marriage.
At first glance, the story seems to be "the former prom queen's failed battle to snatch her married ex."
No matter how ingenious it is to take back a married woman's happy ex, Ms. Mewes, she does have this motive, after all, she writes teen romance novels.
After listening to her ex Buddy's wife and finishing the old song that she and her ex liked back then, she drove back to the town all the way to recall the old time and fantasize about regaining her ex's single cycle. Her expression was lonely and difficult. Believing, unwilling, and lost, Theron showed it very well. In fact, Mewes had already realized at this time that she had lost completely, and what supported her was her stubbornness and unwillingness. She subconsciously refuses to grow up, and always wants to be the last cheerleader in the summer, with all the stars and the moon, and she is awesome. Being courteously courted by boys, secretly jealous by girls.
The stubborn Maiweis really attacked the band members after the performance. She couldn't get angry with the former Buddy's wife. Her anger was poured on another innocent person. She jumped up and down and was full of bitches. Jian is still hot and cute when he is stronger, but when he is old, he does not know how to advance and retreat. Theron's performance was so lively that it was really worrying that the other party would beat her.
Mavis met with his ex in the name of reminiscing the old days, but his ex didn't like it very much. Instead, it is an old classmate that Maeves didn't look up to: Matt, a fat boy who suffered from school bullying.
The beauty is old but her eyes will not age, the goddess is still a goddess when she is down, at least the aloof Fan can't lose the battle, Mewes is extremely sarcastic to Matt, and all kinds of golden sentences emerge one after another.
In a sense, Mewes and Matt are the same type of people who refuse to grow up. Matt’s hobby is to make hands-on work and revel in his own world; Mewes writes novels and seems to be insulated from other things. Layers, a computer, a mobile phone, and a dog are all she can truly relate to.
Aside from appearances, in fact, the two of them can talk very well. Matt persuaded the goddess to turn back, and the coquettish woman did not eat back. Your ex, Comrade Buddy, is now living a happy and happy life.
The tipping point of the story is at the last naming feast, when Severus exploded and made a fool of himself in front of the whole town.
She cried to find the warm man Matt, and the two of them lived up to expectations and rolled the sheets.
Matt is also very pitiful. He has no qualifications to be used as a spare tire. The topic of conversation between the two after rolling the sheets is still the past of Buddy, high school, and Mavis who can never forget the reconciliation.
When I watched it for the first time, I felt that Mewes was just always spoiled, and I habitually thought that I should have got all of Buddy, but when I watched it again, it seemed that this was not the case.
She makes up her mind to rummage through the cabinets to find Buddy's favorite mixtape before returning to town.
She was driving over and over listening to Teenage Fanclub's The Concept (also the one that Buddy's wife played at the bar)
She dresses up and goes to meet Buddy for a beer.
She carefully found Buddy's old clothes in her teenage bedroom to wear.
The sentence that Mavis broke out at the banquet "The person who should have lived happily with Buddy should be me. I also had his child, but unfortunately the child was miscarried".
Not "did not get", but "should have".
It must have been loved, otherwise there would not be such a big obsession. But Mewes obviously loves herself more. She doesn't like small town life and chooses to run away. If she stayed for Buddy, is that Mrs. Buddy herself now?
Matt also has a story of his own.
In those days, Mewes was the hot girl in school, and Matt's locker was next to Mewes.
Matt was dragged into the woods by a group of boys and beaten and crippled.
Mavis and the group of boys seem to have had an affair.
Matt said to Mewis, "At that time, you had a little mirror in your locker, and you spent more time looking at it than looking at me."
The whole movie is somewhat overwhelmed and gloomy. Theron jumps up and down there, from decadence to trying to cheer up and then to decadence, as soon as the feeling of catching the horse weakens, the faint pain of repression will surface, where is it talking about Mavis, Basically talking about every Mavis, you, me, him.
At the end of the story, Matt's sister gave Mevis, who was on the verge of collapse, a little confidence, even if it was a humble one. Mevis drove away and continued awake and dreaming. She had been trying to drag the draft of the youth novel that was about to be chopped up. It is also over: Prince Charming is dead, and the princess is also forgetting the past when she is sad.
Did not find it, those who tried to warm up from the memories of the past failed in the end.
The way out of life is a piece of chicken feathers. It is very frustrating, but it can be lived.
