Zongzi without dates or not?

I ate a zongzi yesterday, and at the end I found it was just a dumpling of rice dumplings, not to mention all kinds of strange stuffing, not even a single red date. I watched this movie early this morning, and it was like eating another dumpling without dates.
You say it's not a zongzi, and the shape is correct; you say it has no taste, and the reed leaves are also very fragrant; you say it's not fun to eat, and it has to be pulled hard until it sticks with your hands, which is no less fun. For those with jujube; but is it still a zongzi without jujube? ! I've been looking forward to seeing a truly educational film - teaching people how to face themselves and the world. But in fact, I watched 90 minutes of Jiang Mi. Really no dates.
Then we have to talk about these Jiangmi -

What kind of children are made by what kind of parents. Jenny's father is a snobby financial fan and is in charge of the family alone. Jenny's mother also came to literature and art a few years ago, but was ruthlessly suppressed by her husband. There is no need to worry that the children under this family model will be indecent, but they will never become wizards.
Jenny represents a large group of children who are walking dead. When she is a good student, she wants to be walking dead, and when she yearns for materialism, she also yearns for walking dead. Art is not sublime, simple but not pure, brave but dishonest.
When she heard that David had cheated her parents by going to Oxford, when she heard "Aunt Helen" several times, when she learned how David's money came from, Jenny chose to be silent. She is nothing more than a villain who, like her parents, is oblivious to money and has no concept of right and wrong. So how could she have the right to blame her parents? ! She was not the only one who was deceived. Her parents knew less about David than she did, or were deceived more. If she can discuss with her parents in time, her parents may not push her daughter to such a man, no matter how rich he is.
Yes, my parents were wrong, because they were eager to hook up with a golden tortoise-in-law; but Jenny was very wrong, and the big mistake was to ignore her own character problems, thinking that she was just looking for a shortcut to life. As the old saying goes, flies don't bite unsewed eggs. If David is the principal, then she is at least an accessory, and the victims are also her and her parents.
■ man
They have a method when they want to get what they want, and they are very determined when they want to let go, and the more knowledgeable they are, the more handy they are. Really, it depends only on breadth of knowledge, not depth. Art is mostly used only as a pretext to strike up a conversation. Since it is a pretense, why do you want to go so deep?
Isn't there a saying that men become bad when they have money? In fact, men who become bad when they have money are not much better when they have no money. Money is just a catalyst or a fuse. How many men can conquer their mother-in-law by virtue and character, and most of them still have to rely on the house and the car. It is understandable because there is no parents who do not want their daughters to have no worries about food and clothing after marriage, so this set really works. So men usually prefer women to make more specific material demands, rather than spiritual ones. Because that's also better.
David's image of the perfect mature man collapsed the moment he drove away. If Jenny's parents are selfish and Jenny is more selfish, then David is outrageously selfish. Like many men, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, or looking at other people's pots. This is not just a problem of the uncle and the little loli. Those young people who are still fresh now may not be good birds in ten or twenty years. Since all the crows in the world are generally dark, it is better to choose an honest, kind and hard-working crow.
■ Deception
We can see from Jenny that if a woman has to experience pain in her life, it's better sooner. The injury healed quickly, and it was too late to make any changes after that. But in all the years to come, you must face up to your past. If you don't respect your past yourself, who do you want to respect your past? ! When Jenny sees the Eiffel Tower again, when she sees art by Bern-Jones, or even thinks of her 17th birthday, will she remember nothing? ! If you can't really face it indifferently, these lies will only sow the seeds deeper. God knows when it will germinate and bear fruit, God knows what it will bring. I've seen people comment that this is true maturity. Well, if true maturity is deception.
She can't deny that David raised her LEVEL, and that a lot of her real experience with art came from this false love. Without these, she might not be able to attract the people she is now. No matter how many lies she tells in the future to hide this piece of history, only others will be deceived, and she will never be able to deceive her own heart.
■ ending
This ending is like the part of the zongzi that I threw away when I confirmed that it was really out of dates.
At the beginning of the movie, it draws a very tempting question mark for people, which makes people's hearts itch endlessly. As the plot was peeled off layer by layer, it was easy to look forward to the last piece of paper, but two big characters were written on it - "scratch".
is it wrong? That's right! Does it work? Works. If the grand-grandson's secret recipe that can relieve itching really is this, does it take so much effort to wrap 180 layers of paper and talk about it for an hour and a half? !
It is not impossible to do something wrong, but there is a price to be paid. I would rather see the ending that Jenny can't go to college anymore because of her mistakes, but she is diligent in her job as a manure worker, and at the same time she works hard to learn cultural knowledge and improve her self-cultivation at the same time. , and then obtained the qualification for exceptional admission, and then she gave up the qualification and went to Paris again with her own money, thinking in front of the Eiffel Tower. Wow, this movie is so much more interesting. People with real backbone and ability will not rely on school to comprehend the true meaning of life.

Of course, I think we can take it a little easier and just treat the show as an Oxford University advertising campaign embedded in a storyline. The beauty of the actors, the pictures, and the original sound are all quite remarkable.
Having said that, it turns out that it is not impossible for zongzi to have no dates, but Jiangmi must be good Jiangmi.
