Let's put down Raymond Carver's original work first.
What my friends mean is that adults can do whatever they want, but they choose to surrender. Nick could have exploded, even if it wasn't like Douglas in "City Hero," he should at least vent his emotions.
Regarding doing whatever you want, I don't know how an ordinary person can do it. An ordinary person, a middle-aged person, has to behave in front of the society in order to support his family. If he is a little careless, or if someone is upset, he immediately has no food to eat. If he can have money without working, of course he can do whatever he wants. The problem is that this kind of opportunity is not available to everyone. When you choose to live a normal life, you have to pay for it-you will lose the freedom you cherish, especially for men-men almost never grow up, especially now, simply refuse to grow up . In order to eat, people have to succumb to social order. This is the current rule of the game. So the point of this film is to tell everyone that when your life is so fucking, you can be disorderly for a period of time, selling second-hand goods, recounting old feelings, drinking beer, playing baseball, and being a good person-but You still have to return to order in the end. This is the "acceptance", "capture", and "grow up" hated by friends. It's really a pity that people can't "do whatever they want" for a lifetime. Be a small screw, a small chess piece for a lifetime, to be abandoned, betrayed, or hurt at any time, no matter what "effort" is made, the mountains in front of you remain unmoved-and then countless inspirational and successful learning to tell you, rule1, rule2, tell you that you change You can't control the world, but you can change yourself and tell you that even when you are the most powerless, you can still choose to be the "best version of yourself." These are shit. Nick is rule17, and his life is still tragic. The truth is that the world cannot be changed, but people cannot be changed either. This is human failure.
This movie also has another significance, which is to clearly point out that everyone is deceiving themselves. Alcoholic and courageous, Nick mustered the courage to speak out the problems that pregnant women have been avoiding, including the problems of other neighbors. Everyone has a tacit understanding of avoiding their own predicaments. These predicaments may be stubborn illnesses accumulated by their continuous wrong choices. To overthrow is equivalent to overthrowing and denying oneself, and the cost is huge. That's why pregnant women will fuck you furiously. Nick is not obligated to be a life mentor, he just chats casually. Do you think my displacement is abnormal? All of you are. At the end of the movie, the pregnant husband becomes a good man. This is a great failure. The movie may still be for stability and harmony.
