Isn't life just like that?

This story starts from here. When the hero and heroine are confused about their marriage, when their friends around them lose themselves for their newborn children, they are looking for which kind of life they need, so they meet I arrived at a young couple and brought them an unprecedented experience. They experienced vitality, youth, freedom, and madness. They thought they were very happy. As a result, all of this was just a trap. The young couple was just trying to reach them deliberately. And to achieve their own goals. Sometimes we pay too much attention to the result instead of the process, but this society is a cruel society, let us be numb to the process, and put the result too big. Regarding the filming of a documentary in the movie, the actor Josh spent eight years making a documentary. When it was shown to his great documentary director, father-in-law, not only him, but even I feel boring. Josh pursues purity and the supreme truth. He never used any means to do it alone. When he discovered that the young man was cheating on him, he exposed all this in front of everyone, but everyone accepted all this and said that as long as the film is good, no one pays attention to how it is. Even his father-in-law and the documentary director he most respected said that the times have changed, and the method of shooting is irrelevant as long as it is attractive. This society has deviated far from reality. Everyone is a little bit false, and they all wear a mask at any time to disguise. Everyone likes to see something with dramatic public opinion, just like Mango Channel can always make from its reality shows. Make a gimmick and capture the audience’s psychology. We think that what we see is real, but it uses various editing to lead us to that misunderstanding. Documentaries should record everything that happens in reality. Nothing can be more real than documentaries. Right? The result tells you, no! When I was in elementary school, I saw an article in "Shi Wen Xuan Cui": Truth and Lie went to the river to take a bath, but the lie went away wearing real clothes, but the truth refused to wear the clothes of lies. As a result, everyone can accept the lies of wearing real clothes, but cannot accept the naked truth. Times have become complicated. Now a generation is less innocent and pure than a generation. When the young man got everything he wanted and succeeded through his own means, the male protagonist had an epiphany. He told his wife at the airport. :He's not a devil, he's just young. But when they saw a baby sitting on the opposite side who couldn't talk was so proficient with mobile phones, they were stunned. The times have become so fast that we can't keep up with it at all. Returning to the topic of marriage, I still remember the girl played by the young couple Amanda said: When we are thinking about how we are going to grow old together, the answer is the same as everyone else. Sometimes we especially want to be different, but in the end it is inevitable to fall into stereotypes. Just as the hero and heroine will eventually adopt a child to live a life like everyone else, isn’t life like that? But what I want to say is Don't give up your pursuit at any time, keep your unique mood and have a happy weekend.
