So I feel that they may not be able to live happily when they arrive in Paris.
Probably, there are only two kinds of happy people, one is content with what they already have, and the other is high hopes for the future and never stops pursuing. In addition, those who are neither satisfied with the status quo, nor take action (or cannot take action, and of course it is difficult to distinguish whether the reason is subjective or objective) to change, will be squeezed by desire, and will be in "hopeless". suffocated in the emptiness.
Frank slips from fantasy and passion to vulgar reality, and it may be disappointing to have a job he doesn't like; but April's only hope of "living again" is to escape the United States and run towards Paris seems even more unrealistic. The point is that if she doesn't change first, the result will be the same wherever she goes.
Maybe the background of this film has more meanings such as female independence, but I can't talk about it too much. Get busy to live, or get busy to die. Andy has given us the best answer. In the end, happiness or not, it seems, only depends on your own choice.
In addition, realistic issues such as selfishness and tolerance in love and marriage, communication and interaction, role switching, whether to consider problems from the perspective of the other party, and life will be dull after all are also included in the film. I don't want to think about it too much.
I just feel that being a human being is already very difficult, and being the wife/husband of another person is even more difficult. Why can't the two of them work together to make this more coherent and more interesting? Turn off hearing aids or open up? We can choose and face together.
