The powerlessness of the world

After watching this movie, I was ready to go to sleep.

The weather has been cold for several days, and for two consecutive nights, I felt chills, woke up, and finally thought of changing the quilt.

Maybe it was too well hidden when I moved, and when I found the quilt, the large and small bags had already been dragged out of the ground. The quilt also looked a little awkward. I found a quilt cover to replace it, but the long side was on the short side. When I took it off and changed it, it turned out that the long side was on the short side again. When I changed it again, the quilt seemed to have gotten bigger after a summer, and it couldn't be stuffed any more.

I was sweating profusely, looking at the huge and invincible pile of quilts that suddenly became in front of me, a feeling of powerlessness surged.

Thinking of Mike's wife in Babysitters, I firmly believe that she always knew that her husband had a problem, but she didn't go to find out what the problem was. During the nights when her husband was confused, was she also like me, sitting beside the bed, no Know what to do?

I have always admired many warrior-like wives, who are fully armed and powerful in order to guard the marriage in crisis. If it were me, I might just run away. Mike's wife is a little bit stronger than me. She's like an ostrich, running away, pretending nothing happened, and she doesn't know anything. She didn't dare to quarrel, she changed the subject, she finally waited for her husband's return, but I don't know if that was what she wanted.

It is rare to see such a forbidding character in American dramas, so that when watching the film, more attention was paid to her. In fact, Shirley is also a helpless character. She saw that she fell in love with a married woman without hesitation. She didn't know what to do with herself. She was defeated by life, so she faced life forcefully, so she created excitement and Trouble, use more problems to divert this problem that she can't face, until she finally breaks down at the moment when she finally sees her father.

Suddenly I thought, they all have powerful reasons to be powerless, what about me? Looking back on my own life, I can't find a convincing excuse. Maybe I don't need an excuse at all. It's the mental state that a trivial creature like a human must have in the face of a huge society.

It suddenly occurred to me that Xiao Fangfang cried the only time in her 40s. When she was drying clothes, she faintly heard the little tune that her mother-in-law hummed before her death. She, who was dashing and capable, suddenly lost her armor at that moment, and faced life like a mollusk without a shell. , overwhelmed, powerless.

Feeling powerless, the world


is the same, but, anyway, this is still a relatively bad movie

    I really thought that if I became a prostitute, I would not be a chicken.
