This play can be said to be the Hollywood version of Zhang Ailing's "White Rose and Red Rose". In the final analysis, the things about eating and drinking for men and women are generally the same in ancient and modern times.
Jane and jake lost their passion after more than ten years. Finally divorced because of jake cheating. The Porsche driver Jake righted the hot and fragrant Xiaosan reasonably and tried to find his passion in the new round of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but was greatly disappointed. Xiaosanyou's "cinnabar mole on his chest" became "a pool of mosquito blood on the wall". Jane has been alone for more than ten years, and the three children will inevitably be lonely when they grow up. So before their son’s graduation ceremony, the two of them changed their embarrassment into a jade silk after drinking high in the hotel, and Jane changed from an ex-wife to a junior. Without firewood, rice, oil, salt, and more excitement from underground activities, in Jake's eyes, Jane not only changed from the “sticky rice stick on his clothes” before the divorce to the “bright moonlight before the bed” before the marriage, but it was almost sublimated into "A cinnabar mole on my heart." Jane knew it was wrong intellectually, but emotionally it was very useful for the same man to make a gorgeous turn from a yellow-faced woman to a vixen. So the two began to learn the road with ease, and the old horse knew how to conduct underground activities. The story has been complicated since then...
Director Nancy grew up in contemporary America where the divorce rate is as high as 50%, and she herself was not immune to this high probability event. After seeing the blame, there is a kind of open-mindedness towards marriage. She asked Jane to say to Jake: It's not your fault. Although jake is selfish, naive, vulnerable, and unfaithful. However, it is still Zhang Ailing's words: just a man. Zhang Ailing's coldness and sobriety were filled with urgency and resentment. In her day, men were the only stocks in women’s hands. Can not but promote narrow, must not but complain. And it's been a lifetime to squeeze the narrow, tossing and tossing bitterly. Today's women, smarter, understand that eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and the most important thing is to have the opportunity to diversify investment. A man is just one of the stocks. Although it hurts to fall, it will not go bankrupt. Just like Nancy and Jane, the marriage is not working well, the career can still be done, and it can also score twice. So it can be open-minded.
I chatted with a friend on the weekend and talked about the happiness of women in ancient times or the happiness of women now. Zhang Ailing and Nancy Meyers tell us: still modern women are happy. Although you have to worry about it inside and out, at least you don't have to hang it alive on a tree.
ps glanced at the gossip before going to bed and found that Pete and Julie had broken up. This pair of wall men played a real version of "Red Rose and White Rose". Hollywood is really a dream of life!
