Girls don't lose, men don't win

When most people finish this movie, they feel that innocent little girls are cheated by shameless old men. I have a different idea.

David's way of collecting money may be disgusting, his education is not high, and his friends are not good. How noble
but he is not a bad person.
He respects Jenny's ideas and takes her to experience the life she
desires. He is using his own methods to make a smart, immature girl who is eager to mature.

Maybe his marriage is not happy, Maybe his wife is very tolerant and tolerates his resistance and betrayal of his established life again and again, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love Jenny.

On the contrary, I think he actually loves her enough to know that even if he is divorced , back to being single is no way to give her the life she deserves. Not just jazz, wine and food, Jenny wants someone who can discuss the philosophy of cultural painting with her, and David at this time can only reluctantly announce his engagement Earn some attention.

He's afraid of losing Jenny, because the bright-eyed, quick-thinking girl in front of him may be the best thing that ever happened to him, so he just proposes after he finds out that his friend who married a vase is also interested in Jenny , because he is afraid, because he is inferior, because he knows that Jenny will leave one day.

So another interpretation of this story is that a man with inferiority who is enriched by rich experience and extraordinary appearance is hopeless He was attracted by a smart but inexperienced, immature girl who continued to grow up, and fell in love with her irresistibly, but forgot that love has a different understanding for him and her. David regards it as a kind of relief, Jenny treats it as an experience, from this point of view, David is still the poor one who was abandoned by love, and Jenny is the one who has benefited from it.

So please don't accuse an ordinary middle-aged man who admires talents Man, he just saw in her the beauty that he couldn't achieve.
