choice, gain and loss

Jaden 2022-03-21 09:01:33

Many times I wanted to go back to when I was seventeen, maybe that way I would not be so self-righteous to gnaw on the hard bone of science, but choose to climb the relatively easy vine of liberal arts. I think the male protagonist in "Return to Seventeen, 17 Again" must not have thought for a long time, like me, to study liberal arts or science when he rushed out of the game, but he is very clear about one thing— —“baby is my future”. It was the most life-changing decision he made when he was seventeen.

Twenty years later, his life has not been smooth. Because he left the court so that he missed the opportunity to go to college, and then worked diligently at work but failed to get any promotions, and was even very useless; did not care enough about children, and did not understand their needs. What; and he was full of blame in the face of his favorite wife, thinking that it was because of his wife that he gave up the opportunity to go to college and let him give up the noble road of life. Although they are still in love, divorce is inevitable.

By chance, a supernatural phenomenon occurred. He turned into a 17-year-old and returned to the high school where he was at the time with the help of friends, which was also the school of his two children. In this way, he learned about his children from another angle, saw the goodness of his wife, and made himself realize what he really needs, that is his family, his wife and children...

as the actor said , he just forgot his choice. Indeed, we often have all kinds of complaints in the complicated life trivial matters. After all, life is like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and we have to worry about everything. As a result, misunderstandings and conflicts will arise between the people you love the most. People also happen to like to shirk their responsibilities, and when they quarrel, they will say it's the other party's fault. So the phrase "marriage is the grave of love" became popular. Don't talk about marriage, even couples who have been in love for a long time will quarrel over such small things. In short, they forget in the quarrel that they are hurting the person they love the most. In fact, most of us today are in the bliss without knowing it. We often complain about the unfairness of life and that we can’t get anything. But thinking about it carefully, in fact, we have a lot of things, but we are blinded by our desires. Eye. Desires are hard to satisfy because we want too many things, so we cannot be satisfied with the status quo.

People regret their choice because the result of that choice is not what they expected. In fact, the bones of science are not easy to chew, and the vines of liberal arts are not easy to climb. The most important thing is that I know that I have not failed. If I really study liberal arts, then I will miss those very good teachers, those who Very hard friends. The male protagonist is full of complaints and regrets, because he thinks he made a wrong decision to make himself so embarrassed now, so the cleaner with supernatural powers gives him a second chance to choose and let him go by himself Face this decision again.

We always try to make the most favorable choice because we are too concerned about the gains and losses. But gains and losses will always exist at the same time. The male protagonist has lost the more smooth life path of going to college, but he has gained a loving wife and a happy family. In the same way, we may have lost a beautiful love, but we have gained good memories and experiences. In fact, as long as we don't care about "loss", then looking back, you can see a full share of "gain".

There are many films of this type, such as "Life Remote Control". They all tell the importance of family, the importance of life choices, and the most important thing is to let the audience realize the happiness they already have. The middle-aged actor, Mike, is played by Matthew Perry, the only person I know in the film, Chandler in Friends. I don't think the jokes in it are funny. Compared with the Korean film "Won Zhuo's Angel", which is also a classmate of my father and son, I think this film is much inferior. The most characteristic is the angel who is dressed in black and subverts the traditional image. At the same time, the acting skills of non-professional actors and the funny and sensational storyline have added a lot to "Won Zhuo's Angel".

I suddenly found that I don't seem to know how to evaluate their acting skills, so I won't discuss other aspects.



PS: Xiaobing said that it is impossible for people to be easily satisfied, and it is impossible to not regret it, and being satisfied with the status quo is likely to make life stagnant.

That's true. But such a film just hopes that people can discover more bright spots in life, and don't always stick to those "cups" incidents. The film is through such an adventure to clear the haze of the male protagonist, and to generate a good motivation in his heart to face life optimistically. Maybe if you want to live a happy life, you have to learn to "deceive yourself", but living in such a world, shouldn't we have "rare and confused" as the purpose of survival? Human-to-human communication is an art originally, and methods are needed to survive well in this turbulent world. Material desires and fierce competition, under all kinds of pressure, if we don’t find a reasonable outlet for ourselves, if we don’t let ourselves see hope in life, then we can only put more on the coffee table of our life. Cups.
