According to psychology, everyone has to go through several stages of development from the beginning of a child. The experience gained in these stages will greatly influence or even determine their personality characteristics. At the same time, if there are needs that are not met or are over-satisfied in a certain period, or experience some kind of huge psychological trauma, it may make people maintain certain behaviors in this period in later life. There is also a saying, that is, if you come out, you will always have to pay it back. For Dorothy, in order not to make her mother sad, she forcibly became the shadow of her mother, strangled her love affair in her mother’s dependence, sealed her feelings about the world, and became an adult early, living a simple life. Repetitive, careful life. This time is so long that her body is getting old. But her heart still suppressed the state of the girlhood.

A sad story. However, the film tells this story in a comedy way, avoiding many painful and desperate parts, and focuses on the life that she restarted after her mother died.

This is the story of courage and growth: how a young girl overcomes the aging of her body to fall in love. Compared with the previous depression, after her mother died, she understood that no matter how hard she was to love herself, she would be the same as her mother; coupled with the brainwashing encouragement of "I'm possible" by her life mentor, she possessed extraordinary courage and conviction. Like every young girl who is in love with her, she uses various methods to approach her lover.

"Don't recall the past, thinking: why is it me? Instead, look forward and thinking: why can't it be me." Doresse completely accepted the brainwashing mentor's suggestion, took the first step of growth, and showed us this. The young girl with snow hidden under the old wrinkles. And she really fell in love with the handsome and promising male protagonist just like a young girl at this stage.

She grew up really fast-although she was shy, she quickly accepted the new band and lifestyle loved by the male protagonist, stepped out of her comfort zone bravely and confidently, and can have a lot of fun with young people. This kind of enthusiasm for life is really contagious, and it also makes the male protagonist attracted and willing to take her to play with.

However, when the male lead's girlfriend appeared next to him, she finally realized what she was missing. Young flesh, talent for music. During those years that Dulles spent empty, she lost her youth, but she didn't accumulate experience, and she didn't even have any skills (the only accounting job was because of the company's favor). Therefore, she has no way to make reasonable suggestions for the male protagonist’s emotional problems, because she is not a "comer", but a smaller girl; she also has no way to have her own talent like the male protagonist’s girlfriend, which can be attracted lastingly. The hostess went to explore her. She just used the brave disguise at the beginning to arouse the interest of the male protagonist, but the male protagonist went deeper and found that there was nothing more interesting in it. Maybe the future potential was great. If she was given time-but she still had so much Time?

If the protagonist likes mature women, she is not mentally; if the protagonist likes girls, she is not physically. So she is more of an interesting old lady to the male protagonist, who has good feelings and admiration, but does not develop into lovers.

So from the beginning, it was doomed that this would be a failed love for the girl: she found the wrong partner, and the person she fell in love with would only like her, but would not fall in love with her. Perseveringly, the male protagonist's ability to tease girls has reached the full level, and he has used her frantically, which makes the old girl how to resist.

Because the male protagonist finds it fun and interesting, as well as the habit and way he has always cultivated towards women, he happily plays ambiguously with the grandmother, and has never thought of being responsible for her behavior. He thought he had met an old friend who "played" and asked him to put down his guard to approach him like a family member, and also vaguely realized that Dorothy had an unusual attitude towards him; but it was interesting at the moment, thinking so much about what to do.

Love makes girls blind. So when the male lead's girlfriend appeared, Dorothy pointed the spear and anger at her, naively thinking: as long as she is not there, it will be fine. So she did what a girl should do, forcibly leaving traces of her sadness on his territory, regardless of the huge damage that might be caused. At this point, she didn't really reflect on the harm in the end, apologized, and she still wondered how to throw the male lead down.

According to the previous setting, Dolce has always been a person who considers people close to her. From leaving to take care of my mother, to deliberately figuring out the lover's preferences when in love. But at this point, she has refused to think from the perspective of the male protagonist. She can only feel that she has been emotionally deceived and betrayed, and dare not admit that many of these contents are derived from her own imagination.

We don't know what kind of romance the old girl will encounter in the future, as long as her courage is retained, her growth will continue.

I hope she can meet a lover who loves an old body and a young girl's heart; at least, if she has the opportunity to be a mother, she will no longer be able to inherit this kind of harm as her mother depends on her. As a comedy, the performance of the old girl propped up most of the laughter of the film, making the audience really feel that she is such a person, and thus love the protagonist. How to show interest. The rest of the comedy elements are still relatively plain, and the subjective perspective imagination is too much to be used repeatedly, it is inevitable that it is easy to guess, and it lacks a sense of surprise.
