How to grow old
Liangshan cypress

Meg Ryan was a little nervous when he was young, but it was moderate and likable. But later she became enchanted, such as Eve in the movie, who was hot and crazy from morning to night. Her sisters weren't much better, and the women in this family were all lunatics. Now, I have to admit that silence is the most suitable state for women, especially old women.

The mother of the three sisters left at an early age, and the joy of the father in the second half of his life was to be mean to his wife. However, he mentioned that he wanted to see her. Once when he was drunk, once when he was dying. Eve refuses to go to her mother on the grounds that "she doesn't like us".
Years ago, Eve went to Big Bear Lake to find his mother. ——When the film arrives here, it suddenly becomes quiet. Cold rural winter scene, small wooden house, mother wearing plaid scarf, living room kitchen, black tea with lemon. After the mother and daughter met, they called each other "Mum" and "Eve", but they were obviously unfamiliar like passers-by.
Eve said, "Mom, go home."
Her mother said, "This is my home." It doesn't have to be a husband and children to be a home, but a person can be a home.
Her mother didn't want to listen to Eve's complaints, and interrupted, "Let me put it this way, 'mother' is not a reason. Not every woman wants to be a mother."

This is a cool old lady who took the initiative to break away from her husband and children, From now on, she does not need a husband and children in her life. Eve interprets this as "she doesn't like us", indicating that she still doesn't know her mother.
I heard of a foreign female writer who had two children with her husband, divorced and lived alone to write. She divorced not because of family disputes, but just for writing. "My husband will never know who I am," she said, referring to her in writing.
Someone commented: "If it were me, I wouldn't choose this. Because the real life is more important to me."
This is how life is: for some people, the most romantic thing is to sit in a rocking chair and talk to grow old together; Some people, it can be cool to grow old quietly with a cup of black tea alone.

    The first time I saw it on the movie channel, and then I downloaded it myself. The mother was reluctant to be a mother, and finally left, the father pulled three daughters together to grow up. Now they have their own achievements, but the father has become an old guy who is not loved... Among the three daughters, Eve loves her father the most. She always recalls the love her father gave them when she was a child. Although it's a comedy, I cry from beginning to end every time I watch it. Is it my favorite movie...
