Life is like a knife, grief is so lonely

American lifestyle films, middle class. A 50-year-old mother who refuses to be a grandmother because she wants her own love, the film seems to give her the right to pretend to be tender - it's a country of greatness. Daughter, came up to answer her mother's call and reminded her that in the morning, she and her husband were enjoying their married life, and they could be disturbed later.

Sex is very natural here, not as oppressive as the director of The Seven Year Itch. Thinking about it, wanting it, eating and dressing, nothing more than that, no matter if he is an astronaut in his old age, or a 50-year-old woman who refuses to be in vain, or a 50-year-old woman who has firmly become a grandmother, or a perennial family life after her husband cheats A middle-aged housewife who has worn off her brilliance, she used a chance to meet another bank clerk who could not be satisfied because of his wife's back pain. Everyone gets what they want.

This is a life movie. There is no romance and imagination. The middle-aged daughter has breast cancer, and it is not a booster for the plot. She has to face the death that comes step by step. At that time, her mother was still like a best friend Just like she told her love, the astronaut finally said to him that she loved her a moment before getting on the tram - her daughter interrupted her, mother, I am a patient, where is the mood to listen to this! - Although, in fact, they are indeed the most beloved mother and daughter.

She also held all kinds of vague hopes, but life was like a knife, leaving no room for her, and she had to say goodbye to the children.

That kind of grief is so lonely, I can't help but think of her bright smile at the beginning of the film, she and her husband are happily living a married life, she takes her children back to her mother's house, and they talk all night, she is such a real person. She was so real that she ushered in a completely unexpected death.

At the funeral, her husband was very close to the woman who would take her place. Her eldest child ultimately failed to show her that he loved his mother. Later, when the opportunity was gone, he was still so awkward, so indifferent and closed, what was the source?

The clothes the characters wear are all very ugly. The skirts are separated from top to bottom. It seems that every woman forgets that the waist is the most important line. There are also many beautiful clothes in old movies - and the main characters' walking posture, attitude, intentional It's so vulgar, at least the standard of visual elegance is not up to standard, but it still fascinates the person you want to fascinate - it's true, but visual works always have aesthetic obstacles.

The dead are dead, and the living still have to live like this - love, which is believed in by this vibrant country, but the power of love is so unpredictable.

Four videos, unrelated, just because I saw them on the same weekend, so put them together and count them as a platter.

    I watched it last night, but I didn't expect it to be a film from the 80s. There was a scene where mother Aurora was in the bathroom dressing up and waiting for Garrett, and she was a little bit cried looking at it. One day I will get old, and one day I will be more lonely than I am now. By that time, life might become terrible... His daughter Emma finally passed away. On the hospital bed, she repeatedly emphasized to her son Tommy: You love me, don't deny it. Very sad TT

    In 1984, Shirley MacLaine, screenwriter, film, director, and supporting actor Jack Nicholson // Debra Winger, who won the 57th Oscar Award for Best Actress in 1984, was so cool, and his voice was so cool ~ how come there was no such a big hit at that time. Sometimes I really don't know what to express. I just listen to the soundtrack and a few storyboards and think it is a light comedy of that era. But I cried at the end.
