The title and introduction of the film once made me think that this is a story about a little fresh meat replacing the old bacon and marrying my sweetheart to the pinnacle of life. Now it seems that I am still too young too simple.
The host didn’t understand why his wife separated from him. He felt that he had achieved success in his career and his life was finally on the right path. But he ignored the most important two words---accompaniment. These two words seem simple, but they are difficult to do, and they are extremely lethal. Because he is devoted to his career and sometimes cannot accompany his wife through indirect phone calls, his wife can't bear to be lonely and can only choose to have an affair. And he didn't pay attention to his wife's thoughts, and they couldn't even reach an agreement on the issue of having children, which eventually led to over. After the wife moved out, the male protagonist finally felt lonely, so he had a home and didn't return. He didn't fill the vacancy until he met the female protagonist.
In contrast, the father in the film is entering the low period of middle age, and his wife’s and children’s flat life begins to have problems: the wife is pregnant at an age where it is almost impossible to get pregnant, and seems to have cheated in marriage; the heroine enters New York University Studying needs money, so a second loan is required; a young man who is half his own becomes his immediate boss, and he is also suspected of being fired. But it was so difficult, he also survived, and even in the process, he found his shortcomings, so he determined to change and continue to work hard. In the end, the heroine's father was restored to office, and his wife gave birth to a girl. His two daughters also had a good time. He not only got a good career, but also had an enviable family.
My favorite part of this film is that the male lead finally runs along the beach under the light of the sunset, only then he looks relaxed and comfortable. Although he is no longer dignified in suits, he has begun to learn to enjoy life. Before, he either ran alone on the treadmill at home, or slept tiredly on the office sofa. In addition, in his family, his mother is a hippie, and his father is an "artist" addicted to drugs. It can be guessed that he has not received much warmth from his parents. It seems that his life, in addition to being exhausted, has been completely and happy as the word goodbye. The hostess played billiards with him and chatted with him, which brought him seldom happiness, so later he would tell the hostess that I am with you and may be happier than being with anyone in my life.
On the other hand, the heroine father, even when he is said to be an old man, he still stays alive like a young man. His daily routine is to play tennis with his daughter. Even if he knows that he is not as strong as before, he still does his best. He broke his arm while playing basketball. His spirit is not like a middle-aged man, but more like a young man.
For success, it should be a matter of course, and it cannot be forced. The female protagonist envy the person who reached the peak at 21 years old, she thinks she can’t do it, but in contrast to the male protagonist who became the boss of the female protagonist’s father at the age of 26, he can be regarded as a winner in life, but what he has is also fleeting, even here. He had bought a car with pride before and ran into the heroine's father's car head-on. Although Zhang Ailing said that she should become famous as soon as possible, and now she is also advocating that children should not lose at the starting line, but I think that gains can be lost, and losses can be gained. The winner is the one who laughs at the end. I always believe that everyone has opportunities for everyone. Sooner or later, all you can do is to do your own thing and treat gains and losses with a stable mindset. What's more, what counts as a win and what counts as a loss is not decided by others, but should be derived from our inner definition.
Regardless of success or failure, you can start again. The most important thing in life is time. In addition to work and study, don't forget to add some sugar to your life, enjoy life, and do what you want to do. It is also a compulsory course in life.
ps: The male and female main faces are really high.
