Buy a villa in a foreign land

A very typical female-themed film, after discovering the director's gender, I can't help but sigh at the extent of it.

What marriage is, I don't know. But divorce should be an ordinary thing for most modern women. When a person reaches middle age, love is no longer an important part of life. The person who once held your hand and said that he will always be with you will turn around and become a Strangers. Like Frances said, divorce doesn't kill you, it's like a bullet going through the heart, or a car crash, when someone who's said to you love to the death suddenly says to you, I never loved you, This will kill immediately.

Frances came to the sunny Tuscany across the Atlantic Ocean with the mood of "I will never believe in love again" and a group of cute gays.

A big car of comrades, with the straight Frances in the middle (the director should also use this to express his support for the gay group), and I have always supported this group because of their pureness. After all, I have the courage to express myself. Inner feelings are not easy.

The tour guide is wearing a yellow T, holding a sunflower, and Frances encounters Bramasole (longing for the sun) on the town street, and there is a sunflower behind the postcard written to the traveler, all of which echo the theme of the movie. Frances is really a romantic person. Fang Buddha is born with a writer's temperament. A simple and simple town can be transformed into a world full of mystery in her writing, just like putting a hot grape in your mouth, wanton sweetness In the spread, you can even smell the smell of purple~

In the car, Frances pouted and turned to see Bramasole outside the car window. It was like fate. At this time, I suddenly remembered that there are indeed many such scenes during the trip. I heard it on the bus on the first day of arriving at Casa at the beginning of this year. The song Perfect, I heard it again in the background music of the radio station in the taxi when I left Casa on the last day, I felt so magical at that moment, destiny.

Frances, who dumped all her assets to buy buildings in a foreign land after divorce, a female artist who likes Fei Fei, a 15-year-old Italian girl who fell in love with a Polish boy, a lace best friend who bravely gave birth to a baby, and an old grandmother who fell into online dating on the other side of the ocean. They are all protagonists in the film, and they all show the independent, brave and decisive side of women. Of course, there are also memorable male protagonists, such as the grandfather who persevered day after day to bring flowers to commemorate, such as Martini with a happy family.

The old grandma of the Internet addict girl said a sentence after her lovelorn, Eventhough I am old, my heart still aches. It just happened to take care of "May you go away for half your life and return as a teenager".

Italy under the light and shadow is so beautiful, and Rome is so romantic as imagined. I like the scene where the two of you are on the beach, walking against the sunset and encountering a kitten. The time is right and the place is right. At this time, I thought that the heroine finally met true love, and the story naturally developed into a happy ending. Unfortunately, the director still let us do it again Face the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality. But so what? If the wrong person doesn't leave, how can the right person come? What if there is no marriage, no family, no children? Frances has a good girlfriend and her baby who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Knowing his blue face, having a neighborhood like family, and an ancient villa with a history of hundreds of years, these are already very beautiful. We just need a good night's sleep and when we wake up we'll be covered with cute little ladybugs :)

There will always be many crossroads in our life, forward, left or right, you have to make a choice, don't stand still like a coward.

Excerpted a few favorite lines.

“Regrets are a waste of time, they are the past crippling you in the present.”

Regrets are a way of wasting time, they are the shadows of the past, killing your present time.

"It is only natural that getting to know people should take some time. "

Yeah, it's really hard to really get to know a person, and the only way is probably time.

"Never lose your childish enthusiasm, you have to live spherically, in many directions, and things will come your way."

Never let your childlike enthusiasm disappear. People must live a wonderful life and have the courage to try in various fields, so that everything will get what you want.

Well, the train will always come, and the cute ladybug will crawl out too :)
