As Good as It Gets

As Good as It Gets

This film deeply portrays human nature. What impressed me the most in the whole film was the scene where the painter Simon looked in the mirror after being beaten into the hospital. In fact, everyone is reluctant to look in the mirror. Especially when you are at your worst. The director described very delicately how Simon looked in the mirror after being injured. It's sympathetic and funny. And the writer Melvin speaks like a mirror. If other people have any shortcomings, they just point them out directly, poke at other people's sore spots, and make everyone hate him. Such people are the least welcome. Because no one wants to face their own shortcomings. This is so cute. But it made the people around him miserable.
Writer Melvin's inner purity and transparency made him completely unable to feel the reaction of others to his language, until he met the goddess Carol in his heart.
The so-called perfection, in fact, I think the director wants to say that no one is perfect. The reason why people feel that there is a perfect existence is because human beings can use love, sharing and care to find or build a perfect symbiotic relationship. When imperfect people come together, open their hearts, learn from each other's strengths, and love and cherish each other, they can have a perfect ending. as good as it gets is literally translated as good as he gets. He traded his love and kindness for the perfect woman and life he wanted. So be perfect.
There is no perfect person in the world, but respecting your inner feelings and wishes, starting from your heart, and pursuing the life you want will surely get the best answer.
I think I will watch this movie again and again.

    Carol Connelly: I'm so afraid you're about to say something awful.

    Melvin Udall: Don't be pessimistic, it's not your style. Okay. Here I go. Clearly a mistake.

    [shifts in his seat uncomfortably]

    Melvin Udall: I've got this, what, ailment? My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I hate pills. Very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never... all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.

    Carol Connelly: I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me.

    Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.

    [pause]

    Carol Connelly: [stunned] That's maybe the best compliment of my life.

    Melvin Udall: Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out.
