There are many different lives in movies, and there are many worlds that you cannot experience on your own. Movie lover illustrator Tomomatsu Yuki introduces the dazzling world of movies. How about taking a trip to the world of movies on Friday nights and experiencing an extraordinary experience?
When you reach the age of 30, you hear news about your friends getting married here and there.
This gloomy feeling is hard to talk to people about. If you look at the characters in the movie, you might change your mind a little.
This time, I would like to introduce the movie "Story of My Life/Watashi no Wakakusa Monogatari" recommended for those who are confused about the word "marriage" .
"Story of My Life / My Little Women's Story" has been made into a movie and drama many times, and has been loved for over 150 years . It is a work newly made into a movie in 2019, incorporating a sense of
The general story is the same as "Wakakusa Monogatari", but in this movie, the main character, Joe , is especially strongly drawn as he wavers between "dream" and "marriage" , so he is in a hurry to get married. It is a work that I would like everyone to see.
What is the happiness of each of the four sisters who are rich in individuality?
"Story of My Life" is the second daughter Joe (Saoirse Ronan) who dreams of becoming a novelist. Meg (Emma Watson), the eldest daughter who thinks that she is happy to marry the person she loves , Beth (Eliza Scanlen), the third daughter who is shy but has the strength to fight illness, and wants to marry a rich man. It is the story of four sisters of the March family with a lot of personality, Amy (Florence Pugh), the fourth realist daughter .
In the 19th century America, where the work is set, it is difficult for women to have a job, and it is natural to think that "marriage to a wealthy person is a woman's happiness" , and it is difficult for women who want to live independently . did.
Even in such an era, Joe wants to live his own life without getting married and writing novels freely .
In his youth, Joe spends happy days with his sisters and childhood friend Laurie (Timothy Chalamet), but everyone will grow up someday... With the marriage of her eldest daughter, Meg, changes come to her happy days.
A big event for Joe was the proposal from his best friend Laurie . Joe loves Laurie, but he can't give up on his dreams. But as the people around her get married, she realizes that she really feels lonely.
What kind of life will Joe choose? And can each of the sisters be happy? It is an idol drama that carefully depicts the swaying hearts of women.
No one doesn't worry about their choices
Well, to briefly express the four sisters' wishes again, Joe is "work and freedom" , Meg is "love and family" , Beth is "health" , Amy is "money and marriage" , but when they become working adults, they are female friends. Conversation with is really going to be a story like this (lol)!
In this story, Meg is the first to get married, but the friends around me who have always dreamed of having a "home" have steadily gotten married.
After all, my goal is to have a family, so I have a clear approach, and I have a set deadline, so there are points where I can compromise .
However, Meg sincerely believes that "having a family with the person you love is the greatest happiness," and even though she got it, her husband's low income makes her life difficult, and she is in front of wealthy friends. There is a scene that makes you show off.
No matter how happy you think you are, everything doesn't turn out the way you want it to.
Life goes on even if you make a wish, so there is no such thing as a happy ending... I once again felt that humans are creatures with complex emotions.
The main character of the story, Joe, also thinks that "getting married isn't the only happiness for a woman!" I am annoyed.
Then, Joe expresses his loneliness to his mother to the point that he almost bends his beliefs. Should be...!
The words from his mother, who understands Joe more than he does, also touch my heart.
After this, Joe chooses an ending that is different from the previous "Wakakusa Monogatari", but honestly, no matter what Joe chooses, the loneliness and anxiety at this time will not haunt him forever. I think.
As I said earlier , happy endings are transient in real life . If you haven't met the person you really want to marry, you'll regret it even if you rush to get married. I think the day will come when you will think...
Still, in the last scene, Joe is smiling with satisfaction, and that moment is undeniably happy . Worries, impatience, and anxiety can't be easily erased, but just talking to someone like Joe who knows you best may help you get back to being yourself!
I think that you can feel a little refreshed just by sympathizing with Joe, so please take a look ♪
