The confusion of modern people

A literary film.
A female white-collar worker in a big city suddenly got tired of her life one day and returned to the town where she was born. She went crazy with her old friends and new "children", but everyone has their own ideas. The collision of ideas makes the cozy little town life turbulent.
In fact, this film is not so "literary and artistic". The problem that the heroine faces is exactly the problem that modern people will encounter more or less. That is, my daily life from 9 to 5 stays the same. Sometimes I think about why I became like this, and then I am ready to do something extraordinary to change my life. This is a common problem in modern life, whether it is in the United States or China, so the things experienced by the heroine are more or less shadowed around us. It either happens occasionally to you or happens to me. It's just the form and the movie. It's different. Of course, after we finally indulged a little bit, we felt that the adjustment was finished, and we would return to the original rhythm of life, just like the heroine.
Therefore, don't be too entangled in your own confusion, this is also a part of life.
The plot development of the film is a bit like a canyon, first down and then up. At first, everyone was happy and thoughtless, but unpleasant things followed one after another. Matt hanged himself and brought the plot to the bottom. It was a turning point for the heroine to find the missing cat. Since then, the plot has developed to the good side. I have to say that it is now the last ten minutes of the film! This turning to a good place becomes a bit quicker. . . . . . Of course, we don't need to be too involved in the plot of the literary film.
Everyone said that this OST is very good, probably mainly referring to the songs that appeared in the film at the right time. But there are often some long shots with no background music in the film, which makes me feel weird. I don't know how you feel?
Finally, I want to say that I like Kristen Bell so much. I put this sentence at the end to cover up the truth that I watched this film because of her! (Hahaha) But I really think it’s pretty good.

    This lifeguard can't save his life; I hate myself and I want to get out of here. I hate it here, I want to go back. Whether we leave or come back, we can't get around this boring life; I'm familiar with my mother's inexplicable hatred for her daughter. But Mom also said, I always feel like you're making fun of me. Maybe my life looks old-fashioned to you, but I'm trying to change too. Hearing this, I also think I should reflect; "You can't go with the flow." "And you look sad." "I want to write a story, in the city, a man raised a tiger, and then the tiger died. For the sake of the owner, it is locked in prison, such a life is too cruel for it, someone put this life that should run free, a great life..." Obviously, the tiger is our symbol. But are we really the embodiment of great life? As for free running, this is indeed the scene that should be, but why are we always unable to move forward? It can be said that there are many external reasons, but in fact, there are also problems of our own capabilities. After all, breaking out of the cage is not as simple as writing such a metaphorical story.
