Perseverance is also a surprise

Perseverance is a double-edged sword.

Persistent people often may not be able to make the most favorable choice for themselves, but it is because of their persistence that they will gain something else.
Persistent people like to cocoon themselves, because it takes a lot of strength to untie the shackles of one's own will. To be true to oneself is usually thankless. Cocooning Butterfly.

The best way to describe the plot of "My one and only" is to use persistence. The story is set in the United States in 1950. Anne, the mother starring Renee Zellweger, leaves her husband and takes her two sons away to prove herself and settle down again.

Not to mention the ending, the surprise is that the plot did not fall into the stereotypes. On the way, Annie ignored other people's advice and met all kinds of men - liars, alcoholics, gamblers and playboys. They took the audience on a roller coaster again and again. When everyone thought that Annie would find her own happiness, it turned out that is empty.

Having said that, it is not difficult to act as a single mother, but what is difficult is a 1950s novelty that is amazing and persistent and brings new senses to the audience. We often talk about how amazing an actress is when she performs in a movie, but the feeling of being amazing is hard to find in a mother who plays the role. This time, we realized that when Annie insisted on breaking out of her own world and shouted to her new fiancé, "I will kill you!" for her son and George, she subconsciously gave her a salute—— Love can be compared, but mother's love has no other.

Although the topic of the dream is a bit heavy, the content does not lose comedy. There are many golden sentences (American jokes) in the film. For example, one of the suitors, Budd, said: "Cars also have potential sexual characteristics... Personally, I think Cadillac belongs to women. If the car breaks down, just call me." After listening to Annie Very happy, but his son Robbie sneered: "We will find a gynecologist", a slightly mean joke, which made the atmosphere relieved, and from the tit-for-tat dialogue, I realized the uniqueness of mother's love, myself and dreams. .

In the end, we found out that persistence is a comedy, and persistence is a kind of surprise.
