After watching this video, my best friend was already sleeping beside me. I sat quietly for a while, thinking about the life together after graduation, every day, another day; every year, another year.
Mary in the movie is almost a microcosm of misfortune, divorced, hooked up with a married man, and has been living alone in a small apartment. Whenever she goes to see her good friend Gerri, she has been telling about the misfortune in her life, and has been Complain, the only vision for life is to buy a red car. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, every time she came, she could see that she was more desperate about life. She never thought about whether she should adjust her mentality, but she kept falling, and then she went to seduce the son of a good friend and destroy him and his girlfriend The relationship between her, she is a tragic figure, her desperation and pessimism are not dared to be acknowledged by herself, that is, when she encounters the same ken as her, she dislikes him, and at the same time she dislikes her true self in life. She, I understand, but is not sympathetic.
The best friend who lives with me can be said to be very good friends since high school. After graduation from college, they naturally rent together. At this time, I also see the test of friendship and friends from people who are pessimistic about life, and even feel this emotion in life. suffocated.
She was so angry that she didn't eat when I put some water on the eggs when I was cooking. When I told her to wait until the iPad was fully charged, she was so angry that she asked her friends to borrow money to buy one for herself. When I chatted with everyone, she felt that I was talking too much and got angry. When friends from other places came to live with us, she was so angry that she blocked me from WeChat. At that moment, I realized that the friendship between friends was being eroded by disappointment. When I tried to help her, she kept emphasizing that she was doing well.
Life is every day, and we always feel that a new day should be a better day, a happy day, but when we live each day into another day, and each year into another year, when we unintentionally turn the While despair keeps replicating, your life crumbles too.
At the end of the film, a close-up of Mary, lonely, empty, and hopeless, reminds me of Gerri in the film asking her, "Are you okay?" "I'm fine," she said.
But you don't look good.

    At the last moment, all the voices escaped from Mary's world, and the silence isolated her on the edge of the happy and lively life of others. This film has a soul in an instant.
