Young people don’t understand this, but they’re no longer young people.

I don't know when, I started to pay attention to movies about marriage. Perhaps I have also entered a new stage of life, so I feel a little bit.

When it comes to Meryl Streep, people can always think of those autocratic, resolute, and refusing to follow the rules.

But off the screen, she chose to manage her marriage silently.

Having been in the film for many years, there has been almost no affair, leading an ordinary life with the sculptor's husband and raising four children.

It can be said that she attaches great importance to the family.

In the play, Kai, played by Aunt Mei, is a housewife whose sons and daughters have already established a family, but have entered a middle-aged and elderly marriage crisis.

From age to family status, this role is almost the same as Aunt Mei in reality. It is completely believed that this is a film that she has integrated into her personal experience to perform.

At the beginning of the movie, Kay suppressed the desire of his skin relatives and knocked on the door of her husband who was sleeping in a bed with him. After the trial failed, she returned to the bedroom disappointed. This is certainly not the first time I hit a wall. Later in the consultation room, Kay mentioned that they had not had sex for four or five years.

Some people say, so old and still thinking about it? Really hungry.

To quote the words in "Escape from Shame": "Things that you think are worthless now will also appear in the life you are about to usher in from now on. You will become the kind of person you once looked down on. Don't you feel painful?"

Everyone will grow old. What's more, age is not the criterion for judging aging. When a person begins to reject new ideas and things and clings to his own opinions, he is really old.

With the help of the doctor, Kay and Arnold gradually opened up their hearts. The husband's psychological changes are more obvious and fluctuating, first he is disdainful, then angry and resists, and finally tends to cooperate.

What is it like? Like a child. He complained many times that it was "naive", but in fact "naive" was just an excuse for him to escape. Unwilling or good at expressing their hearts, it is a man's generality, facing his wife's emotions, they really feel at a loss.

Fortunately, this couple is willing to work hard, although there is a rebound in the process, it is normal. Just like the broken nose effect, you can't slowly break your nose. Because the comfort zone has been formed, even if you step out carefully, you will quickly retract due to a small tingling.

Only by breaking the boat and letting go of worries can we be reborn.

This reminds me of breaking the cocoon. In many cases, the appearance of barriers is like weaving a cocoon, layer by layer, becoming thicker and thicker, until each is tightly wrapped in it. I have long forgotten where to start and where to leave. At this time, only bravely breaking from the inside out can survive and continue.

Not only for marriage, but many of our worries actually stem from our inner obsession. It depends on whether you are willing to break the shackles of your thoughts and face life completely.

In my opinion, Kay is very cute. Although he is in the middle and old age, he has the courage that many young people do not have, and set out to improve his marriage and change his life.

Like the ending credits, Kai and her husband take the big marriage vow on the beach. They decide to become better selves, and they do not forget to express their needs for each other. This is a kind of frankness that has only been experienced.

"No matter how good the marriage is, there are difficult years. The worst thing is that you plan to give up, but don't, hold on. When you look back at this time in the future, you will regard it as a prelude to a perfect life. It makes you feel satisfied at all times."

mutual encouragement.

    The story is okay. There's nothing to do with the director, it's just acting.

Hope Springs quotes

  • Eileen, Kay's Friend: You marry who you marry, and you are who you are. Why would that change?

    Kay: Well, if you wanted it to?

    Eileen, Kay's Friend: No. I think for that to happen, it would have to be so bad, that somebody was willing to risk everything just to shake things up, and then it might not come down your way. No, change is hard. No, marriages don't change.

  • Arnold: If you want to go to intensive couples counselling all by yourself, I'll see you when you get back.
