Nowhere to run

She used an entire room to pile up her pre-marriage items and memories. She thought she was Madame Bovary, beautifully and heroically rebelling against her life.
He has passed the lawyer's license exam year after year and never passed it, because in the bottom of his heart he doesn't want this kind of life at all. He is eager for another choice, whether it is sweat on the court or cheating in the laundry room, as long as it is, another possibility is enough to move.
In fact, we are just afraid, afraid of the same from 9 to 5, afraid of the same life, afraid of change, and even more afraid of no change at all. We are unwilling to be a screw that never rusts, but we don't have the courage to move outside of society. As stated in "Shawshank's Redemption", for institutionalization, at first, we hated it, and then we got used to it. After long enough, we can't do without it, and we become part of the system.
We are unwilling, but helpless.
In the film, two people decide to elope. Pursue your own resistance with a naive approach that is close to a fairy tale.
But, where can you escape?
What they want to flee, is it society, public opinion, or their deep fear of plainness?
Perhaps this kind of plainness is like aging, like death, like a shadow, with nowhere to escape.
In the film, two people give up at the same time. Because of children, because of responsibilities.
When he fell off the skateboard and found that he was no longer young, and realized that the passion he had mobilized was only a moment, and he would fall violently in the end, he chose to go home. Is it enlightenment, happiness, or helpless compromise?
What if you don't compromise?
Who can guarantee that if two people really elope, there will be another choice of life instead of repeating the original version again?
The prince and the princess, living happily ever after, are just the ending of a fairy tale.
Bowl.

Little Children quotes

  • May McGorvey: You're a miracle, Ronnie. We're all miracles. Know why? Because as humans, every day we go about our business, and all that time we know... we all know... that the things we love... the people we love, at any time now can all be taken away. We live knowing that and we keep going anyway. Animals don't do that.

  • Ronald James McGorvey: I just wanted to cool off!
