love is complicated

A movie that makes me feel entangled when I look at the name, the only motivation to watch it is Meryl Streep.

Compared with the youthful beauty in the 1970s, although the street is over middle-aged, the style is still the same. There are a little more traces of time carving, and more of a calm and confident temperament. How can a woman not be envied when she has achieved such a level.

Although the facial features are not perfect, the charm of the gestures is impressive. The most profound is the unadorned and hearty smile, which has a kind of comfortable truth. From Mamma Mia to Julie&Julia to It's complicated. Those laughing scenes account for a large proportion, there is no restraint of pretending to be a lady, it is just very simple, if you feel happy, then laugh. There is no affectation to be seen in her, and her truest self is the most charming. .

As for the movie, there is no happy ending. Although it can't be said to be incomplete, there is always a little bit of loss and regret.

The perfect couple, Jack & Jane, broke up after nearly 20 years of marriage. Ten years later, the male pig's feet found that he was still in love with his ex-wife. So Ben's ex-wife who became an ex because of the appearance of a third party became the third party of the former third party. The entanglement in this relationship alone feels complicated.

After ten years of male pig's feet, compared to the strict control of his wife, the naughty kindergarten son who has to take care of his son, and his uneasy life, he feels that his ex-wife is better. Exquisite and delicious food, harmonious sex life, so without any guilt, the ex-wife is pulled into the triangle relationship. It's not unbelievable to say that "I still love you" for ten years. What is love? But it's each other's sacrifices and rewards that make each other feel at ease and satisfied. The life his ex-wife gave him now, he didn't realize how good it was before he got divorced, and it was only after another ten years of life that he felt depressing and uninteresting. With the opportunity of trial and error, there is also a full comparison, so without hesitation, he chose his ex-wife at all costs.
Of course it is too early to say. Because the original plan was to maintain the existing family and have a lover like a red rose. But Jane is not a simple and ignorant girl after all. She runs a good restaurant and plans to expand her house. She has a group of best friends who have nothing to say. She has a pursuit and hope in life. Life plunges into dark chaotic decisions. Although the decision to go with the flow allows her to enjoy the fun for a short time. But the night when I prepared the dishes that my ex-husband liked, ordered candles, put red wine, put flowers on the table and waited at the table, because of a decision made by the ex-husband and wife, the date was ruined, and then the lights in the dining hall corridor were turned off and returned to the bedroom. She should have made a decision to no longer struggle.
The paper can't contain the fire, and Jack's wife has a clue about the absurdity at a dance. Jack finally confessed to his wife, divorced, and returned to freedom. I thought that I could continue a ten-year blank marriage with Jane. But who said that the leading edge can continue? Although Jane said it was really hard to get out of a broken relationship, it took her ten years. When the problem occurred, the two did not cooperate fully to solve it, but chose the easiest way to deal with it. Ten years of washing away the pain of the loss. After ten years of separation, I can recall the good old days. Does a man who used to not even enter the kitchen remember his ex-wife's delicious food after experiencing the baptism of his wife's junk food?
I know I shouldn't be so narrow-minded, and neither does the heroine. This is just the indignation of a judge. Jane also said, it's not your fault, it's our fault. Yes, any failed relationship is not just one person's fault.
But what is this? Not all broken relationships can be perfectly restored. The swing chairs that were made during calm and conversation ended up being washed away in the cold autumn rain. And Adam, who appeared on a rainy day, was the real ending of the development.
Although I am lost, I have gone through countless mistakes just to meet the right person. The cruelty of life is that encountering is not the end. In the long process of getting along, it is necessary to maintain it from time to time. After all, the possibility of separation exists at any time, sometimes just for an inadvertent reason.
