A fulfilling and meaningful life is a false proposition

After watching the movie, I feel like I have to say it. Human technology has actually gone against the sky, giving birth to children, boys and girls are actually metaphysics and romantic life activities full of numerology and accidental life activities.

Not to mention the process and twists and turns of two bleak and unrelated middle-aged couples to have a child, almost all the hurdles that come to mind are shown here, and the real scene is often more difficult than this, and it is more than what is shown in the film. No wonder we say that fate is cruel, because the possibilities presented by him have reached an extent that we cannot imagine. Often you turn away and everything is different, but when you look back, everything is the same. How do you choose?

Other than that, it's just torture why do you want children? Most people in this world are afraid of being alone. Soul mate Qin Se Xianghe formed a habit under countless compromises. After getting used to it, he thought to himself, maybe this is love? Still not satisfied. Everyone is thinking, or have a child.

Children are angels, this is true. They always do this addition in their lives, their innocent smiles hide the shadow of growing up, but at this moment their smiles and frowns are all eye-catching. Adults often forget their frustrations and helplessness, and devote themselves to the growth of their children, and to devote their energy and love - otherwise? There is nothing else to do.

Hope is often more attractive than getting itself. When middle-aged couples shine, it is often the time when hope is born. The process is always unsatisfactory and self-doubting. The ending of disappointment and despair is the inevitable end of life, not destruction but rebirth.

At the end of the film, the middle-aged couple is still living a peaceful life. At this time, they receive a call-I can't help but ask, how much hope does this have to be able to withstand such a test? How much do you want to escape this peaceful life?

In any case, they still want to do this thing, which shows that life is still a little exciting. At a certain age, you realize that the process is more important than the result.

    3.5. Ten years after the acclaimed The Savages. Tamara Jenkins just launched a new work. Focusing on the arduous process of child-seeking of a middle-aged New York artist couple, we explore their life and mid-life crisis. The process was actually full of frustration and embarrassment, but the director reconciled it with a good sense of humor. There are a few scenes that are really funny, like the second wave of feminism getting shot while lying down. There are also nieces who adored the stars and said, "My uncles and aunts are the real artists, and they are over 40 years old and still rent an apartment on Avenue A. There are graffiti and drunkards at the door of the house." Self-deprecating. But what I agree with more is what the male protagonist finally said. In order to have a child, not only is the economy bottomed out, but the mental pressure is extremely high, and even the marriage is about to be destroyed.

    A film made by a delicate female director with tears in her laughter, how much helplessness there is in it, there is how much hope she will not give up in her heart.

Private Life quotes

  • Sadie: Oh, my God, look at us. We're like an ad for assholes.

    Rachel Biegler: You mean we're assholes, or we're part of an ad that's targeted to assholes?

    Sadie: No, it's just that whole... people with cappuccinos in their lofts, with their laptops, dogs, with messy hair. You know, that whole fantasy. It's not your fault. You guys are authentic and real, you've just been co-opted by cultural mechanisms that create desirability. I took a media and consumer society course. It was pretty life-altering.

  • Sadie: God, my mom went on this jag where she got rid of, like, everything in her closet that was even remotely form-fitting, and now it's just like cowl necks, and tunics, and draw strings, and shawls, that whole Eileen Fisher thing. It's like she doesn't even have a body anymore, she's just drowning inside all this fabric and erased all sexuality from her being. It's like she's been spayed.
