It may not be called "love," but it resides at the fingertips and the tip of the heart, between friendship and affection, between the floor and the starry sky.
The topic of "Love Myth" continues to soar. Miss Li appeared as a pair of more than 10,000 Jimmy Choo, pink lace is slightly old, in fact, it is not very compatible with the purple skirt, but this may be the most expensive pair of shoes in her wardrobe, reflecting her attention to this date and respect for Lao Bai (played by Xu Zheng), and also using the language of clothing to say, "I am a person with a pursuit." This pair of shoes string together her and Lao Bai's love story, which has rich metaphorical significance. Different from the middle-aged women who focus on the baby at this age, they are often plain face to the sky + sweatshirt denim sneakers; Miss Li's appearance is always exquisite makeup + hate sky high, even if leading the child, it is also a thin high heel, walking one foot at a time, and the posture is good. This is a very representative image of Shanghai women, no matter what their situation, they are at the trough or peak of life, and they are always decent in front of people.
As the plot unfolds, we see that Miss Li is not easy, 44-year-old she took her daughter and her mother to live, listening to her mother's nagging and raising her young daughter alone. She was frustrated by the college entrance examination, attempted to go abroad, and failed marriage, although she laughed at herself and said, "There is no smooth downhill road", but in fact, she has been struggling to climb the slope, wearing high heels is a gesture, she is tense, and serious, always retaining her spiritual world. The drama represents her spiritual world, and this world shows that she and Lao Bai cannot produce love. She watched the drama and shed tears, but Lao Bai did not know it. Love stems from spiritual resonance, and Mu Xin once said, "The depth of friendship is the depth that both parties themselves have." The same applies to love. Two people with different depths cannot be friends, let alone lovers. That night, whoever accompanied her to the play, she would go home with him for the night, but it was also a night. For her, it is more important to retain the freedom of choice, to be able to decide with whom to watch the play, who to drink coffee with, and who to spend the night with.
High heels also represent the vision, Miss Li such a high vision of women will make many bottomless men discouraged, because such women are not controlled by men, only accept men's services. And many Shanghai men have lived under the influence of strong mothers since childhood, have a sense of equality, and even have a sense of service, they are strong, but they like this kind of women. It's like the old white in the film. Lao Bai is a typical Shanghai old-school man, who cooks diligently for his family in marriage; when pursuing, he works hard and sends a WeChat to repeatedly deliberate; he will not "wipe his mouth and leave" after a relationship, even if he does not want to establish a long-term relationship, he also thinks that he can do something for each other and assume limited responsibility. He willingly pays for high heels, he does not feel hard, he enjoys it.
The same divorced and baby, and the children are all adults, Lao Bai's ex-wife Bei Bei is not as dashing as Miss Li, which is manifested in her smoking e-cigarettes. Smoking e-cigarettes implies that she wants to quit but can't quit, which is very consistent with her personality, she has made mistakes in marriage, but does not give up the possibility of remarriage, and often appears in the life of her ex-husband. She went to learn to dance tango, but not to find friends for herself, but to find a girlfriend for her son. She represents women caught between old and new ideas, longing for freedom on the one hand and nostalgic for tradition on the other. Such women are also very representative, they have the consciousness of breaking away from the old system, but they are not complete, so it is a little tangled to watch, or she is like Miss Li, generously smoking. Miss Li smoked and smoked on the balcony, which I think is a stroke of God, reflecting that women think and act like men.
The images of these middle-aged women are completely different from before, there is no difficulty in life; there is no idea of "asking for it" emotionally; there is the alternation of the old and new systems, the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures; no matter where you are, always look up at the stars. We see the chicness of women in the new era, and we also see the fragility behind the dashing. From these women, middle-aged love also moves from myth to reality: being able to think about doing something for each other after a night of pleasure; being able to reminisce and remember all the time for the rest of life is the best emotion that middle-aged people can have. It may not be called "love," but it resides at the fingertips and the tip of the heart, between friendship and affection, between the floor and the starry sky. (North North)
