In the more developed cities, men bear more pressure and responsibilities. Even Alan, who seems to have a happy family and a successful career, always feels at a loss, if he has lost something, not to mention Charlie who has suffered a major change.
Charlie can only choose to escape and find his own life through video games, rock, comedy, hanging around, etc., but he is extremely lonely inside. The relationship between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and the inability to talk about his friends in life, meeting Alan is almost his best kind of friendship, because Alan does not understand his life after studying medicine, and he is a trustworthy friend. . Although Charlie lost his temper several times, he always apologized and went to find Alan.
While Allen was getting along with Charlie, on the one hand, he was trying to change his mentality, and on the other hand, he was thinking about whether his lifestyle was right. Facing the unreasonable demands of the beautiful woman abandoned by her husband, Allen did not indulge himself, but he still could not bear the attitude of his boss towards him.
Allen always wanted to help Charlie and took a lot of detours. At the same time, Charlie also gave Allen a lot of life inspiration, such as venting his emotions to his boss and re-examining his family and love. And under the pressure of Allen, Charlie slowly recalled the past, and although he was in pain, he could start to face the reality. Seeking police shots on the street, but the result is not so bad.
Charlie in court touched everyone's heart, including father-in-law and mother-in-law, because they found themselves a little cruel, Charlie was not a bastard who didn't miss old love, but because he was too quiet in the past to express his pain, when You can imagine the pain of a man with that cry when he looked at the picture of his wife and daughter.
The climax of the film is the rashness of a non-emotional lawyer, with Charlie wobbly and unable to restrain himself in headphones. He didn't need to look at the pictures because they were always in his heart.
There is no hint at the end, but life will continue, and the two middle-aged men start to face their own reality again!
