He is younger than you

To be honest, I really hate narration, especially the kind that jumps out of the plot sincerely and wants to talk to you face to face. Fortunately, "Desperate Housewives" is definitely not like this, but "Alfie" is not immune.

No matter from the name, the poster or the introduction, this film does not interest me at all. If he hadn't appeared on the company's computer by accident, I might not have watched it in my entire life.

Sure enough, the opening is very annoying. With a long narration, Jude enthusiastically talked about his life, love encounters, and love views. He is beautiful, romantic, bohemian, and hard as a rock. He keeps saying that he will not hurt others. He is always hurting people in real time. He has all the characteristics of a playboy. He is sex.

If the film becomes a way of redemption after he checks out the ED, then it is hopeless. The little ED didn't change his life, but a faint sentence "he is younger than you" completely ruined him.

Men care more about age than women.

Women's aging begins more than the surface. Those wrinkles, eye bags, sagging, and sagging are all pretexts and are natural forces that are difficult for humans. Men get old, starting from the heart, old is old, there is no way to make up, no way to whitewash, this is the difference between from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside.

One can imagine how unforgettable the old lady’s understatement is enough to carve out a volcanic crater. It sprayed all Jude's assumptions for granted, let him see clearly that he took all the "cheap".

As he said at the end, "If you are not at peace, you have nothing."

We are all poor.
