Unbuttoning the clothes on the chest of the 16-year-old girl, dripping roses sprayed out, haunting Lester, the middle-aged man who had been sleeping for a long time began his new life.
When life is monotonous day after day, the former enthusiastic wife Catherine has become a material woman with a copper smell, and the rebellious daughter treats herself with disdain all day long, and she has to face the company that has worked hard for her for more than ten years. The employment crisis, Lester, a man who has always been submissive, has been suppressed to the extreme. As he himself said: "In a sense, I'm dead." The
turning point came that night, when he met Angela, a sultry, energizing, drowsy dark life. Seeing the light, that's what he thinks of beauty, even if she's only 16 years old, even if she's his daughter's best friend.
"Fuck me, my king!" Milfs Catherine was enjoying the great lust brought to her by her lover, the real estate king.
The girl who once pretended to have a heart attack when she was bored at the college dance and ran to the rooftop to show her breasts to the helicopter has become a woman, a woman who gradually slipped into the quagmire of material desires. She hated her husband Lester's mediocrity and worshipped him. The real estate king who has turned the clouds and rains. She was not happy, except for the occasional fiddling with the pots of roses that were quite alive. Ironically, the same delicate rose never entered her husband's eyes. Instead, she fell in love with the fantasy rose.
When a 42-year-old middle-aged man slowly took off his pants and opened his bra, Angela was short of breath, making it impossible to understand that this would be a sex veteran. Sure enough, "This is my first time," she said as Lester was about to kiss her nipples.
She is always complacent in front of others, telling others who she has slept with, showing that she is different, even in front of her friends, she still shows off her sexiness, complimenting her friend's father to have sex with her without any damage Something to be proud of. But at that moment, a sentence from her friend's boyfriend completely broke her down: "as you are ugly, and you are boring, totally ordinary, and you know it." She has always rejected ordinary.
Once as a U.S. Navy, he had his own organization and discipline. Because he didn't let his son become gay, he beat his son half to death, kicked him out of the house, and finally kissed Lester, the man he thought was oral sex for his son, incredible. It was this "gay" who rejected himself.
All day long, he just sat in a chair and meditated, expressionless, facing his son who was chased away by her husband, and just said, "Bring rain gear."
This is Lester and Catherine's neighbors.
These people are all showing a society in which human nature has been distorted, and almost no normal person can be seen. Fortunately, the director was not so cruel. He arranged for two young people, Lester and Catherine's daughter Jenny, and their neighbor's son Rick.
Jenny longed to have a harmonious, loving family, so she hated her parents for ruining it all, she was hesitant and reckless. Luckily she met Rick, a peer who sold marijuana for a living. She was relieved and got another kind of warmth, which could be called love for short. Surrounded by her boyfriend's love, she was willing to fly away with him.
Rick is the only sane person in the film, he is always capturing all the beautiful moments, including the dead white dove, Jenny's eyes, and the one that fell on the street, in the wind, and drifted away in the leaves White plastic bag. This is the most beautiful thing in his opinion, it's a cold winter, the wind is blowing, the bag is constantly being blown by the wind, it seems to be dancing, the air is full of electricity, you can seem to hear, this bag is very happy, like Playing like a child. "myriad life by anything, and there is one kind of inconceivable benevolent strength, it let me know there is noting can be afraid, ever." This boy who seems to be a heretic in the eyes of others is precisely the truth of life.
The story goes on like this, and because of the connection between each other, everyone gradually deviates from their original life track. Catherine's affair with the real estate king was discovered by Lester on the spot, Rick was driven out of the house by his father for being gay and wanted to run away with Jenny, Rick's father wanted to kiss Lester in the pain of losing his son and was rejected, Angela was caught Ke exposed her inferiority complex, Lester discovered that Angela was actually a virgin, and this series of contradictions happened on this rainy night.
As a result, Lester died, falling to the ground under the gun of his neighbor. He died just like that, while he was holding the family photo, smiling and recalling the past moments.
Maybe it's not hard for us to read his smile, when he heard Angela dressing her for the first time, when he sincerely asked Angela if his daughter Jenny was happy, we already got it Answer. He found himself and the beauty behind his life.
