It is even suspected that Olive is the generation that experienced the Cultural Revolution. Cold, hard, and not possessing the characteristics of female character, use the meanness to see through the world to confront possible harm, and love and care must be expressed in aggressive ways. Restrain your emotions. Maybe it's all due to self-protection mechanisms created by an unfortunate childhood. After all, in order to survive, everyone has evolved a different logic to convince themselves to agree with reality.
But in essence she is a kind, decent and even loyal lady. She has her own set of values. She was afraid that the flower girl would be stung by bees while playing in the grass, and of course she was also angry that the child's parents did not take good care of their child. Find ways to stop Kevin, who is attempting suicide. She will also help Ms. Mouse, a store clerk who had an affair with her husband, to complain.
Life is long and life is rough. They have all almost cheated on the edge and returned to marriage on the brink, no matter what the reason, they worked hard and worked together to the end. She has never apologized for 20 years of marriage. Maybe she and her warm, Virgin-like husband have had great differences in concept in this life, and even despised her husband who was too loving, but only after her husband fell did she show her meanness. Hidden love is attachment. A paralyzed husband is her belief in life.
Intergenerational influences are always unknowing, and Olive's attitude towards children is learned from her parents. She and her father have never reconciled in her life, and neither does her son nor her. The shot of the family is always in the dining room, she is cooking, eating, taking away the plate to clean up whether you like it or not. The backs of every dishwashing person are cold and stubborn, with unquestionable and inviolable authority. The son brought her to New York, and placed the military-like neat, sophisticated, and resolute mother in the basement, the pregnant woman who was drinking, and the grandson who exchanged ice cream. Everything is like a silent rebuke and revenge against my mother. Ripped socks are like broken relationships.
After her husband died, Olive and the old dog who had chased cars vigorously snuggled up on the sofa, lonely and unyielding, still stubbornly resisting. Fortunately, at the end, I met an interesting and tricky old man. His personality just happened to meet his opponent, and his life was good.
