Unexpected and wonderful journey

Burt proposed to Verona to marry him. Many times, in various environments and atmospheres, they were all rejected by Verona. When Bert demonstrated the "marriage proposal" in the camera, he told a story other than the story. He always wanted to marry Verona, Verona was pregnant, and he wanted to complete such a ceremony even more.

Later, this confusion was revealed to the audience towards the end of the film. Not long after Verona went to university, she lost her parents. She was afraid of facing such a scene. There was no mother and father at the wedding, and she walked into the auditorium alone. Bert had guessed Verona's heart long ago. In fact, he has always embraced everything about her with true love, and he has followed his wife's uneasy heart with his unyielding attachment.

The film is like a "road book", recording the bits and pieces of the journey of "finding home" between Burt and Verona. Maybe you can't find the specific location of the gas station, and you can't find which hotel restaurant is the most economical. , But can understand the secret of staying old and comprehend the true meaning of married life. I also chose to make a mark to relive the unforgettable highlights in the film one by one.

A. Be a forerunner before traveling.
Burt is looking forward to the future children. He hopes that in the eyes of the children, he is a skilled craftsman who is as omnipotent as Superman. Obviously Verona didn't want to follow Burt's wishes, even if she agreed with her husband in her heart. Although it is correct grammar education, it is still too cold. One word, "cutting wood" cooled Burt's enthusiastic and happy heart.

Bert called so loudly that she must have not noticed it before Verona was pregnant. This may be the prenatal psychological syndrome, chewing on the apple, using all the energy to suppress the inexplicable anger and anxiety in my heart. Burt behaves so well, he can feel his wife's mood swings, and he can find a way to comfort his helpless wife.

Burt's parents chose to complete the travel plan 15 years ago at an improper time. This is not an incomprehensible behavior in Americans. Although it attracted dissatisfaction and complaints from Burt and Verona, it was nothing but a protest like "Your parents are really selfish." "Your parents are also very selfish." As a result, the two people still have to face everything that will happen in the future alone. .

When it’s time to make plans for tomorrow, children born must have a good living environment, and as parents, they must also choose a place suitable for development to settle down and start a business. Now that they have taken the first step of joining their parents, they have the courage to take the second step. Choose a home that truly belongs to you.

B In the first stop
, the former boss who chose Phoenix to go to Verona, a ruthless friend, a strong woman with a history of mental illness, and an old woman whose breasts fell to the waist after giving birth, trained her daughter to be gay and her son to be deaf for fun. The problem mother is a wife who looks like her husband and maintains a marriage. This is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. If there are such neighbors, the terrible level of life may only be unexpected.

C. The second stop is Tucson City (Arizona)
. The younger sister Grace of Verona is a typical female nowadays. Such girls often can't see the people around them, just feel that what others have is what they want. Bert is a 100% good husband. Seeing him listen to his wife and praise Grace's boyfriend, his image is so high. Grace admires such a man, but doesn't know that the man who takes her to eat steak every day is a dark horse prince like Bert.
This stop is an education class, mediocre people always hold happiness and complain. When you have happiness, you must really cherish happiness, otherwise happiness will be like a bird that never returns.

D Interlude of changing planes to trains The
confrontation between secularity and reality; the entanglement of emotion and reason. Burt and Verona lie in the upper and lower berths of the carriage; Burt and Verona sit in the carriage to measure their heart rate. The dialogue between the two people sorted out each other's hearts and digested the suffocation that had accumulated on the road.

E The third stop in Madison (Wisconsin)
is quite interesting, the craziest of all the stops. The mother without a stroller-Allen, is not Bert's cousin, nor a close friend, everything is in childhood memories. I don't know why Burt and Verona came to join this couple who believe in "continuity". Maybe it's just to try your luck and find a new place. It's not a bad thing to have an acquaintance. In fact, Bert and the others did not know that the couple they were going to visit had become extremely "evil" many years later!

At the dinner table, the Allen and his wife ridiculed the Burt and his wife's part, which was extremely angry. I have to say that this paragraph is well compiled. Although the Bert and his wife were not perfect when they attacked, they still did not lose their standard. That baby carriage is expensive, but it was not bought in vain. It was a good weapon. Surprised, this is life.

F The fourth stop
in Montreal is Montreal, where you can eat fries with gravy sauce. Bert, who was depressed, regained his motivation to move on under the reassurance and encouragement of Verona. At this stop, he went to the home of his university classmate Munch. The family is very international. Both husband and wife are good people. They have adopted a lot of children, but they can't keep the fetus. They can't give birth. The fifth miscarriage was on the Thursday when Burt visited. How can such a sad and hopeless place heal Verona's always fragile heart and move on, also because of a phone call from Brother Bert.

G. At the fifth stop, Miami
Burt’s brother and his wife Helen had a dispute, because the two people's stubborn refusal to yield to each other disrupted the happy life that would never collapse. The child named Anna is the most pitiful. Maybe he will grow up in a lie made up by his father. After the grandfather is "cursed to death", his mother will become a dead person in the lie.

Such disasters are not just a nightmare for Bert’s brother’s family. No one's marriage does not collide on the rock, Burt and Verona are moving forward in storms.
You Promise! (You swear)
I Do! (I swear) The
two of them lay on the elastic cushion outside of Brother Bert's house, and their intimate and warm declarations lit up the black night sky. Stand in the church and take an oath and take a certificate of marriage. If there is no love, these proofs of existence will be meaningless. In my opinion, after this night, Burt and Verona have become a formal husband and wife. The hot vows and the calm white and black letters are no longer dazzling in front of the burning red heart. Although the

final home of H

is very old-fashioned, this is how an aspirin cures pain. Going back to the hometown long gone, picking up the unforgettable affection in the memory, the days can be passed happily.

A man like Burt can definitely be judged by a good one. Although Verona is a bit sensitive, as a mother-to-be, she has sad memories that others can't understand. She can be so strong and can stand in the queue of good women. In this drama, although the heroes and heroines have not become the target of Sam Mendes’s arrows, they can still feel the social problems listed in the back of life from the surrounding environment and characters. It’s just a relaxed and thought-provoking way. Rare, the key is profound and fun! There is no doubt about Sam Mendes' ability to control emotional drama.
