"The heroine is too irresponsible. Since she wants to leave, don't have children and don't get married."

When I see a barrage like this, I always think of my former self. Looking at things so simply, I think that right and wrong are absolute, and the world is black and white. The truth is, it takes a few years and a few years to understand that little bit of life. The heroine used to be a white-collar beauty before marriage, and she was happy for the first two years after marriage. How can a person make him believe that this happiness has a shelf life when he is happy? If the heroine can foresee when she gets married that life will make her so depressed that she wants to jump off the building, will she still quit her job and become a full-time wife? The problem is that real life can only be experienced and cannot be foreseen, and there is no way to avoid all problems with a simple "if this is the case, then don't". What girl doesn't get married with a happy vision for the future? What woman didn't wish to give the world's love to her children when she became a first-time mother? But when they took the oath of marriage, after they were full of joy and pregnancy, how could they know that the ordinary life in the future would also drag people into the quagmire? Maybe you can't understand what's wrong with ordinary days, because most people in this world live like this. But what if you have dreams too? What if you want to go back to work? What if you're just tired of having kids doing kitchen chores every day? Because you are married, you have become a mother, you have to be responsible for your marriage and your children, so you should not get bored, let alone talk about ghost dreams, you should clean up your nonsense, live in a square inch, and be honest Guarding the family, husband and children through this life. How many lifetimes can a person have? only one. Can the heroine no longer pursue what she wants when she chooses marriage? Why? Can you just focus on work and not home if you rely on a man to earn money to support your family? With a man pua, she goes out to work and earns enough money to pay the babysitter? So you should allow yourself to be no longer yourself, wear down your self-confidence day by day until you completely become a woman who is "fit for life" in the eyes of men, and can no longer be separated from him. No, the heroine is brave. She made the decision to leave and broke free from the comfort zone of a full-time wife. How much courage she had to show. The film did not show this intuitively, which does not mean that the audience can ignore it. We only see the male protagonist as a father, starting with a messy breakfast, not knowing what grade his son is in, dressing the child sloppily, to overcoming the problem with the daring, struggling to maintain a balance between taking care of his son and work, and finally Losing his job, frantically finding a job in one day in order to fight for child custody, rushing to the hospital with his injured son... I am moved by the portrayal of these fatherly loves, and of course I should be moved, but don't forget that these expressions of love, The father could do it while the mother role was still there, but why not? The part that was not filmed in the film, behind the absence of the heroine, her poor psychological state state, her treatment process, her experience of returning to the workplace, how she regained the self-confidence that had been wiped away and how she regained her complete self. I don't think there is anything wrong with her coming back to fight for her son's custody after she has become beautiful, confident, independent and strong. The audience only sees the effort and difficulty of the male protagonist, but does not see the part of the female protagonist who "strives for sympathy". After she fled The confusion and predicament of her, her struggle in self-healing, her dilemma in finding a job... The heroine is strong and brave, and her escape should not be a simple condemnation, but sympathy. The problem of the male and female protagonists in the film is that they do not need to go to the stage of divorce. I think this is also the reflection that this film intends to bring to the audience. As the male protagonist said, there is no law that says that men cannot take good care of children. On the contrary, there are no laws and regulations that define that women are born to take care of children, and that women are born to love to do housework, and caring for the elderly and children is inherently a woman's job. , let these prejudices go to hell! Why can't women be careerists? Why can't you regain your dreams and pursue yourself even if you are married? Could it be that if you choose marriage, you can't get a divorce because a man has not cheated, domestic violence, and alcoholism? Do you have to live your whole life for the sake of your child? Is the "woman suitable for living" in the eyes of others really a compliment? Is it really for your own good that "most people don't come here like this" in other people's mouths? The point is whether you choose to shape yourself or let others shape you. for your own good? The point is whether you choose to shape yourself or let others shape you. for your own good? The point is whether you choose to shape yourself or let others shape you.

    There is no fancy plot, but it makes people cry. You must find someone you love, give birth to a child, and give him lots and lots of love, take him by yourself, listen to his illogical silly words, clean up messy rooms, make a mess of your life, and surround him all the time Turn around, occasionally miss the free time of being single, and then have to clean up the toys thrown all over the room. I can feel the love from him slowly, and then I will be old.
