We can live just fine on our own

After watching the film, I became a huge fan of Renee Zellweger, who played Anne with a southern aristocratic temperament. I have to say that she showed Anne's pride and aristocratic temperament vividly. When she came back early to see her husband Dunn cheating on other women at home, she was not hysterical. Instead, she helped the little actor to zip up the skirt when she couldn't. It was really cool to watch. Dunn thought it would be OK to comfort Annie, but how could it be so simple?

This film is based on the real experience of the famous Hollywood actor George Hamilton. One of the reasons why I am interested is to pay more attention to the fate of women at different stages of life. What choice will Annie, who is over 40, make in the face of her husband's derailment? Unlike most Chinese women, who was willing to put down her figure for the sake of her children, the arrogant Annie chose to run away from home with her two children. This is how the story unfolds.

George took a huge sum of money to buy a luxury car, and the car sellers opened their mouths in surprise, all questioning whether George had robbed the bank. (It's time to give a big close-up) George is also very helpless, it's my fault that I have so much money. Just when George couldn't explain it clearly, our heroine Annie appeared, and as soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of all the men in the audience. It was too elegant, too sexy, and too feminine. No, the manager swallowed his saliva silently. So I bought a luxury car and traveled around the world with my eldest son Robbie, who was addicted to his own world, and his handsome and precocious younger son, George, in a panic. OHNO, they ran away from home.

Annie still has to stay in a luxury hotel at night. George expressed a strong concern: we are running out of money, no money, no money. And Annie didn't care and said proudly: I will find a rich stepfather for you again. So, Annie started a journey to find a handsome and rich stepfather for the children.

For the first time, when she met her former classmate at the hotel, Annie was so happy that she wore a fancy dress to the banquet, but she didn't expect that the other party was bankrupt and was a poor ghost, and when she went to the bathroom, she stole all the money in her wallet. It was empty and he didn't even pay for the meal (here I should call him a scumbag).

The second time I met an officer when I had no money to pay for the meal, the officer was deeply attracted by Anne's temperament, and the two naturally became boyfriend and girlfriend. Divorced due to child problems.

For the third time, Annie went to her ex-boyfriend again. Although the ex-boyfriend was still addicted to her temperament, there was a younger girl beside her. Even his son was saying that she was getting old, but she was not convinced that she still had her charm. Seeing her ex-boyfriend holding her little girlfriend in her arms, she could only get drunk, and was even caught in the bureau as a young lady in the end.

When I called my husband, my husband's girlfriend picked it up, and my heart suddenly became cold. The owner of the house he rented went to the bureau to rescue her. In his heart, George met a girl who liked him. However, Annie found all her ex-boyfriends and found it useless. At this time, Annie, who had no money and no job, had to leave.

I thought Annie, who was so poor and pampered, would not be able to hold on. No, she didn't want the money from her husband Dunn. When they had no way to go to Sister Annie's house, son George mocked his mother and said he would never go? Annie calmly said to her son, "I love my sister, but I can't stand being around her." When George scolded his father, Annie didn't say anything, but told George that his father loved him and he loved him too. No hatred, still full of love.

When Annie arrived at her sister's house, it was not difficult to find out why Annie didn't like her sister a bit. That is really a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. And envy and jealous that the beautiful Annie can always marry a rich man. Annie also began to work, but when the waiter poured coffee on the guests angrily, she fell in love with the boss in the dye shop, but was told that the boss had mental problems and married at least a dozen people. Annie, who received the compensation, decided to accompany her eldest son Robbie to Hollywood to realize her dream.

George decided to stay at his aunt's house, and Anne was really angry and slapped George for it. Annie and Robbie are gone, they are carrying passengers on the way to make money, only to be nearly robbed. Fortunately, Robbie took out the gun and escaped. Unexpectedly, the kind-hearted girl stole their belongings and ran away with the man. George decides to go to Mom and Robbie.

After his father's death, George decided to go back to bury his father and go to school there. The charming Annie was discovered by the director as a group performer in Hollywood. Annie recommended Robbie to him, but Robbie was not confident in front of the camera. George, who was full of hope, was treated as an alien when he was talking about his summer vacation in class. George knew that this place was not suitable for him. He went back to Hollywood to find his mother. Mom and brother express their love. My brother also understood that he prefers clothing design. Annie, George, Robbie, found their love in Hollywood.

This is not so much a family film as it is a growth film. Annie no longer relies on her own efforts to find a rich stepfather. Robbie understands that she is not suitable for the stage and is more suitable for costume design. George no longer does not understand Mom learned to love and found the love of her life - acting. As George said at the end: "We can get by on our own."

PS: Matsuko in "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" finally lost hope and became a disgusting messy person, while Annie found herself despite her setbacks. I think the most important thing is that Matsuko has no self-confidence and no self. Maybe it was the partiality of her father's love when she was young that made her unable to love herself. Yes, Annie has always failed and has always been confident because she knows how to love herself. Really, the ability to love yourself is so important, I hope we all love ourselves, and believe that we can live well on our own.

My One and Only quotes

  • Bill Massey: As a man, there's only one thing you need to know about a woman.

    George Devereaux: What's that?

    Bill Massey: They're never the right temperature.

    George Devereaux: No?

    Bill Massey: Something to do with their plumbing. Reproduction. Whatever reason, most of the time... they're either too hot or too cold. Mostly too cold. So what you have to do... is carry a sweater or a jacket or something with you at all times. Something you can keep in the trunk of your car... or in your closet at work... for when their thermostat gets messed up.

    George Devereaux: What else?

    Bill Massey: That's it. Once you've got that covered... there's nothing else you need to know about a woman.
