Maybe we should think about ourselves

There is a sentence in the movie that is very impressive, "god grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't chang, the courage to chang the things I can."
There are too many things in this world that we can’t do, such as those It has become a memory of the past, such as those who have left us, such as those past mistakes and scars left in my heart that cannot be healed. However, the dark clouds in these memories that can’t bear to look back have passed. Why should we let the haze linger in our hearts forever, instead of facing life optimistically, treating the past calmly, and bravely welcoming the future?
Keim, who came home from the drug rehabilitation center to attend the wedding of her sister Rachel, has many unknown pasts. It is these experiences that make her unique, but this kind of alternative is not a joy. On the one hand, Keim yearns for the warmth of the family and the comfort of his family, and hopes to find the courage to rebirth. On the other hand, he always thinks that people treat themselves as a patient and an outsider. If words are not speculative and out of place, Keim feels that he is only injured. The kitten was forgotten in the corner of the celebration, and even rejected. First, her sister’s wedding was coldly received by herself as a bridesmaid, and then an apology in front of everyone angered Rachel, and then she was arranged outside the wedding’s family dining table, where there were successive quarrels. The misunderstanding continued to deepen, and at the same time, the pain buried deep in Keim's heart was drawn. Under the surface of the cheerful scene of the wedding and the lively atmosphere, a family crisis surged.
Inevitably, the contradiction intensified again on the eve of the wedding to the point where it could not be concealed, because Rachel discovered a lie that Cam had once told, and Rachel’s words were driven by anger to uncover the scar in Cam’s heart. , The self-blame and regret for the deceased brother once caused Keim to completely collapse. The inner pain reminded herself that she was a murderer from time to time. She was struggling painfully, but at this moment she had to face the misunderstanding of her sister. She thought that Keim didn’t care about her brother. I don’t care about the family around me (maybe this is an angry word), but the situation of being misunderstood and eager for things to turn around, but difficult to do so, but worsening the situation, has forced Kaim into a desperate situation in her heart. She is isolated and helpless. She even complained that her mother's negligence caused her brother's death. In the dark, she wanted to end her life with an accident.
When the sun rose again, Keim returned to the wedding peacefully. In the melodious wedding march, Rachel cleansed Keim's wounds. The phrase "It's good that you can go home" resolves all contradictions and misunderstandings. The smoke disappeared, the wedding went on as usual, and Keim was her sister's bridesmaid.
The story seems to be old-fashioned and lacking in new ideas. There is no big ups and downs, but it does not reduce the shock in my heart. When I saw the sisters quarreling, when Cam turned and left, my father's face was distorted by pain, old and helpless. The look made my heart hurt. There are no untie knots between family members. Those boring quarrels are nothing more than the inability to accept the way of expressing love between each other, but since they are in love, no matter what the accusations or words are, they are nothing more than trying to make each other better. To face life, everything arises from love. We have no reason to doubt the love and care of our family due to some external forms. In more cases, we have to think about ourselves, not others.
As a drug addict, Keim seems to be the only victim of the tragedy for her repeated struggles in the past, and others are just bystanders. It seems that she has suffered all the pain, and others just want An indifferent person who has gotten inner peace and put all the responsibilities on her. This kind of mentality made Keim unable to devote herself to a normal life. She felt the ignorance and discrimination of others, but she didn't know that it was her own inability to let go. She put herself in an unequal position and put an invisible shackle on herself. , Created the illusion of injustice of others, it is my own sorrow, unable to face the past emotions calmly, blindfolded, unable to see the existence of love.
There were two scenes in the film where Keim was at the sharing meeting. For the first time, Keim was only a listener. She listened to others telling how she had to bid farewell to the past hard and hopefully welcome her new life. And the second time, Keim opened her heart. This time she did not lie, but revealed to others the painful past in her heart. This time she decided to change herself. Although she had a fierce quarrel with her sister afterwards, her determination to change herself was also the driving force behind her to clean up her uneasy emotions and return to the wedding. Only by forgetting the tears and quarrels of yesterday, and letting go of the nightmare that has been entangled with me, will life have hope, and the family's loving smile will be in my eyes.
Everyone will experience pain as they grow up. Don't feel sorry for yourself, don't imprison yourself, get up when you fall down, get rid of the dust on your body, and start again.
