(Original debut, reprinted)
Do you want to be an unusual person?
For example, the influence of the world's great people who have gone down in history, the rich man with hundreds of millions of family properties,
Another example is the superpower in the Marvel series "Avengers",
Or standing in the bright spotlight, the brightest star in the crowd?
However, Mary only wants to be an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary.
Speaking of this healing little fresh movie, you will definitely feel strange because of its title, "the behavior guide of successful people", "the behavior guide of big bosses" and even "the behavior guide of smart people" are more attractive than the three words "ordinary people".
Because ordinary people are so ordinary that they are not worthy of attention at all, the three words "ordinary people" represent us in all sentient beings.
The film begins with a humorous opening story of the first half of Mary's life: half a million babies were born in Spain in 1985, and Mary was one of them, but her life was a mess.
Lonely and refusing to socialize, with a high degree but no job, swept out of the house because he owed three months of rent, forced to go to his hated mother.
She thought she wasn't even as good as an ordinary person.
In Mary's view, the average person's standard is: work, family, friends, social, interests, family, and happiness, while she herself has nothing.
Her behavior is strange and withdrawn, repeatedly turning on two lights in the home market to compare, and telling the salesman that if it is not dark around, how can she compare the difference between the lights, and she does not know which lamp she wants.
Walking on the road, passers-by are talking about their lives, while Mary is attracted to a book called "Happiness is Simple".
Also in this bookstore, I met Paula, the salesman just now, and it turned out that Paula was also troubled by her own obesity, and the two people agreed with each other to help each other become an ordinary person.
Mary runs with Paula and supervises him to stay away from calorie food, while Paula encourages Mary to contact her college classmates and helps her find a job selling dog food.
She worked hard towards the goals on the list, and even learned how to make herself happy, and life seemed to gradually enter the formal.
She finally plucked up the courage to contact her college classmates, who enthusiastically helped her introduce her to the blind date, who was perfect and handsome, but at the party, Mary's past scars were uncovered.
She once played a samurai and accidentally cut off the finger of a classmate, leaving a permanent shadow, and the boy she liked rejected her confession, and the ridicule of the people around her made her begin to seal herself and refuse to socialize.
Everyone at the party was laughing at the samurai's stupidity, but no one knew that she was the samurai, nor how much their unintentional ridicule had hurt her.
In order to integrate into everyone, the girl hides her ordinary work, disguises her interests and hobbies as elegant, and even reluctantly maintains a relationship with a blind date that she does not like very much.
She was tired.
Obviously, his favorite person is the fat Paula, although he is not excellent and outstanding, obesity makes him think that he is not even an ordinary person, but it is he who can make Mary the last and most important "happiness" of the list.
Talking to him unscrupulously about his troubles, giving up pretending to be elegant with him, hearing his sincere praise with him, even he and his own heart, trying to make himself look ordinary.
Mary confessed to Paula, and with Paula's help, Mary's mother finally unveiled the knot in her husband's death, confessed her mistakes to her, and expressed the love she had hidden in her heart.
Finally, Mary became the kind of person she wanted to be, and her heartfelt happiness made the world a better place in her eyes.
I have to say that this warm healing movie gives people an excellent look, whether it is from the beginning of the narrative or the climax of the end, it is a relaxed and relaxed tone, even if life is depressed, it is only a slight loss.
But hopefully.
In particular, the sunshine and green meadows full of vitality in the movie, the colorful hydrogen balloons that fly in the sky, and even the streets and pedestrians full of fresh smell after the rain are like candies buried quietly, emitting a sweet smell.
However, the most heartwarming thing should be the truth of the film, which does not advocate social hypocrisy, but promotes inner happiness, when a person is not bothered by the superficial packaging, when she dares to show her shortcomings.
Even farting in front of the person she loves, such a vulgar act, isn't this a good and undisguised person? A real person.
Like at the end of the movie, Paula and Mary turn on a light in the darkness, and Mary says, This is the lamp I want.
Yes, only when all the light is extinguished, only when all the distractions of life are cleared away, do you know which beam of light you want the most out of the countless lights.
May we all be ordinary people and get ordinary happiness, joy and happiness.
