Family & Love

For a standard Hollywood romantic comedy, we can always accurately judge the ending within ten minutes. Along the way, telepathically with the director, he accurately locates where there should be a climax, where the design twists and turns, and where the peaks should go.
But the routine does not affect our enjoyment of a movie.
I laughed, cried, and moved as I wish. So the goal of watching a movie on the weekend was achieved.
This is not a film for thought-provoking purposes, but it does permeate some thoughts that we often have to talk about. Since writing a film review, let me just say a few words:
1. Family affection is precious.
Although this film is a romantic comedy in principle, the most shining part is to make people feel the warmth of family love. Many Chinese people mistakenly believe that Westerners have a weak sense of family and that people are relatively independent. In fact, many of the friends I met have big families like those in the film, and they are close family members. The estrangement between father and son, the warmth between mother and son, as well as love, humor, grandma like old and child... are family affection without borders. It is this kind of affection that touches and warms every young soul.
2. Movie VS Reality
When the actor is lying on a small yacht in the sun with his eyes closed and rested, waiting for his boss fiancee to try on the outfit. I was thinking, if he is really a persistent young literary and artistic person, enjoy the joy of reading. Then why have to endure the humiliation under the devil's hands for three years, and if nothing happens, continue to bear the humiliation. This is probably where the movie is exaggerated for the sake of drama. If he really had such a simple hometown and rich family business. It is absolutely understandable that he left when he just graduated and went to New York to pursue his dream. The life of a small role, small staff, and small attendant for a year is also acceptable. But with such a wonderful retreat, persisting for three years and getting along with the boss who wanted to kill her in his dream and buried her is really incredible.
Because of his pursuit, his happiness is literature and reading. It's not really a suit and breathless tension in the workplace. When he arrives in New York, he will find that the job of editing is not equal to the ideal of a literary and artistic youth who loves to read. It is better to return to the hometown of peace and simplicity without losing enthusiasm and inspiration, and continue the life of a literary and artistic youth under the sun of worry-free food and clothing. From time to time, you can also have money and leisure to travel around the world.
