Search terms: recommended by psychologists, recommended by middle-aged couples, acting enthusiastically.

The film is directed by David Frankl and starred by Meryl Streep (as Kay) and Tommy Lee Jones (as Arnold). Although it was released in the United States in 2012, it now seems to have a strong reference to real life. I admire the director for revising the public's perception. It is generally believed that after a long marriage, it is as boring as the left hand and the right hand are touched, but in fact it is not always the case. There are many things that can be explored and explored in marriage. People don’t understand themselves the least. They know everything on the conscious level, but how much do we know about the needs of the subconscious level? Although it is not a big production, it is very attractive, finished in one go, and evocative.

The film tells about an old couple who has been married for more than 30 years. From the happiness and love at the beginning, to the stranger under the same roof, even the touch of the lover is very nervous. Except for the false prosperity and lively scenes of living together and the children returning home, there is little real communication between them. Life is like a pool of stagnant water, each sleeping in their own room at night and living asexual life. Although his wife Kay realized that something went wrong, she couldn't understand it. So she wanted to give it a try, carrying her husband, Arnold, to pay Gao Suba's psychological consultation fee, and begged her husband to go to the hot spring town to unravel the bewildering journey of seeking love.

In today's society with a high divorce rate, one sentence we often hear is to just go away. The other half who you think knows very well may find that they really don't. Arnold believes that to meet the material needs of lovers and being responsible for the family is love. Kay saw her husband's estrangement and hurt her self-esteem, and felt that he didn't love her anymore. Those inner secrets and longings are now before our eyes by experts. Each of us lives in the way we think is right and demands the other half. When the famous psychiatrist guided the couple to make various attempts and changes, the process was contradictory and painful. It was not a lack of love, but it took a lot of courage to face and change. I think even an old beauty, of course, Arnold has a more cautious and serious character. It is very difficult for strangers to diagnose and analyze the bed-brother matters, let alone in China. When there is a problem in a real marriage, how many couples really realize that there is a problem and seek psychological counseling help? Meryl Streep’s movies rarely disappoint. Coupled with the wonderful interpretation of two old dramas, it will surprise you. The dull man is very turbulent in his heart, but the female protagonist looks slightly amorous on the outside. In fact, the lack of interest, coupled with the husband’s inability to guide, makes the life of the couple very boring. The reason why they can finally break through all the psychological barriers and regain happiness is because of their deep love for each other. At the end of the film, the psychologist is the witness, and the re-marriage vows of both spouses are very touching and can be used as a treasure of happy marriage.

The enlightenment to us is that marriage is not only about business, but also for communication and continuous learning. Especially friends who are confused about marriage, be sure to watch this video that can learn a lot. Everyone has different experiences. Maybe you will interpret more differences. Welcome to communicate. The red-faced, eager-eyed, heart-beating romance in marriage does not only belong to young people. May all lovers in the world grow old together!

    What's wrong with not getting married, I feel it without resonance, when Kay said to the doctor: "You don't think it would be very difficult to just touch someone you love, but for us yes, and It's a big problem." I really feel how helpless and painful a woman is in the face of her marriage.

    The dialogue is not so good.
