1. Mean people push people far away.
2. The love for her son, her husband's careful care after a stroke, and her help to the children in the class all make me feel that she is a very good woman.
Maybe when she left, few people would think, thank the lady who helped me and let me see a ray of light in my life. Because she has always shown people indifferent, mean, and resistant, as long as she is in front of people. That's her thick armor.
3. His husband is so kind to people, but his son is... embarrassing. He has been serious and kind all his life, but the son he misses the most and is close to is polite and distant. But if this is not the case, what will happen if you don't wrap yourself in kindness, like Olive, who disdains any false kindness and pierces the essence and core of everything under the surface.
Can people get along well in front of the unobstructed truth? Refer to the hospital incident and the dispute at the son's house. The truth beneath the surface is not acceptable to everyone.
4. At the wedding, Oliver made his own dress, heard being laughed at + had to take off his shoes at the airport security check, and showed ripped socks without dignity - these two things show a sense of powerlessness and no dignity, This is closely related to the death-related incidents that have occurred several times throughout the show - tree bumping, youth trying to commit suicide, hospital robberies, strokes on the back of fertilizer, when loved ones are not around
die alone. I can see that the director wants to express how small and fragile human beings are in the face of the established rules of the world, even if we always want to keep a little dignity - the heroine originally said to the security personnel: I just don't take off my shoes.
But in the end. Life must have a way of rubbing your dignity against the ground.
5. Even so, the heroine tries her best to keep her pride and dignity, which I think is a decent performance. I really want to tell the heroine's son that your mother has done her best, maybe she is not good enough, but she has never pretended to love you for even a second, she is even afraid to show that love for you, for him Vulnerable, because it takes for her to be brave and dignified to choose to fight life every day after waking up. Just like at the airport knowing that our pantyhose is ripped through the inspection equipment, all we can do is to straighten our backs as much as possible and lift our heads, as if we are not dignified, helpless, and vulnerable.
6 To sum up, I think Olive has lived a decent life. No matter whether you are more fortunate than her or less fortunate in this uncertain world, I hope you can deal with it as decently as she is.
7. I think I will keep thinking, I hope if I spend my old age. If a Chinese-style family suffocates and devotes all of its efforts to their children for self-interest and turns themselves into an extension of their own will, such love and control may make me a complete crippled person in pain and resentment. I prefer to be like the heroine, but having someone around me who knows how good I am is, it's not a complete loneliness. The most important thing is that I can leave something for this world, unlike I never existed, I hope to have my own works or contributions, leaving such a small ink dot. 8. Thank you, Oliver finally chose to live on, I believe she will get better. Even in her old age, but in my belief it is not too late, she can have a fresh start.
