The choice is never love, only yourself

When I first watched it, I knew that I had seen it before, but I remembered the details and forgot the content (kneeling to myself...). So I decided to watch it.

The second time I watched it felt better than the first (well, I grew up~). As a romance movie, it's more about how a young man with lofty ambitions finds a foothold in New York while gaining his own family and...love. When I watched it, I thought of a line: When we were young, we always thought we could meet a lot of people, and then you realized that the so-called chance is actually only a few times (from "Before Sunset"). This feeling is stronger in this film than in "Dusk".

The movie is not a fairy tale, the male protagonist did not realize his dream, and the movie also starts with the divorce agreement he received. But it is very inspirational, because life will give back to you slowly in its own way, because of what you want. Everyone is moving in their own direction, even if they are in love with each other, they have not stopped moving forward for each other, and the best part is that in this way, the end of each other's final together is forged.

I really appreciate April in the movie. She has no party, doesn't emphasize her position, and does things according to her own preferences. When she doesn't know the direction, she works part-time. When she is confused, she goes on a trip. She was lost for a long time before she found her own direction, but every decision she made came from the heart, she walked slowly, but always aimed at the direction.

    Men know April is good, but they still marry Emily and Summer, right?

    We often have something like buying an engagement ring for someone who has a commitment around us. In this case, the most sensitive recognition is always concealed and denied. We need too many conditions before we dare to fight for it bravely, otherwise , with the least amount of damage.

  • Maya Hayes: Poor April. Just like the character in the story. Who's always been the friend then she realized she doesn't just want to be the friend she wants to be the *girl*friend. Except it's too late.

    Will Hayes: What do you mean?

    Maya Hayes: Weren't you listening? She came home for you.

  • Maya Hayes: How come you changed all names except hers?

    Will Hayes: What do you mean?

    Maya Hayes: In the story, you know like mom became Emily, and Summer's that Natasha lady who writes for that magazine... But you didn't change April's. Why?

    Will Hayes: Why - Why are you so concerned with this anyway?

    Maya Hayes: Because I want you to be happy.

    Will Hayes: You know, I'm happy.

    Maya Hayes: Trust me, dad. You're not happy.
