tragedy labelled comedy

The problems faced by the film Tully (2018) are universal, but the solutions are too unique and unsustainable.

Marlow, an exhausted mother of two, has an unplanned third child, and her husband is busy with work during the day. At night, he needs to put on headphones and enter computer games to kill zombies in a state of isolation. what to do?

This movie made me know for the first time that there is a special profession called "night nanny". Tali, a young, intelligent, and slightly offbeat girl, comes to her door late at night. She can clean up the room, bake cakes, and chat with Marlow when she is breastfeeding and pumping. The effect is close to that of a psychotherapist. Because of Tali, Marlow's chaotic world quickly became orderly, and her energy was like a battery with only 2% remaining and finally connected to the charging cable. It only takes minutes to recover to 100%. My guess is that there are far fewer families in the world that deliberately refuse night nannies than are willing to get them but lack the ability to pay.

The film also has the potential to create perceptual dislocations. Although there are occasional jokes, the story is closer to a life tragedy, how did it enter the comedy category?

    The queen's sacrifice of image is almost disfiguring. From this, it can be seen that even the beautiful Theron, who has become a pregnant woman with a big belly and a haggard appearance, has no sense of beauty at all. The final happy ending has a false sense of positive energy for the sake of positive energy. In reality, there are many mothers who are depressed and anxious because of parenting, and husbands who are repentant? nonexistent.
