As the protagonist of this film, Ben Whitcott gives us another perspective to look at the lives of struggling young people. His perspective is soothing and gentle, which is an experience full of wisdom. He knows how to advance and retreat, and has a high IQ and emotional intelligence. Such a movie, with light clouds and light winds, is like a swimming pool in the afternoon, comfortable!
This kind of relaxation is just the opposite of the fast pace of young people described in the film, which is a contradiction hidden in the film. However, this contradiction is shallow and rarely felt, but it does exist. Jules Austin, as the heroine of this play, is a strong woman with a successful career and a pungent style, which is the opposite of Ben Whitaker's soothing. However, there is little sense of opposition in the whole film. Let's just say that Ben Whitcott's charm is really great. As an experienced child prodigy, he is adept in the workplace, quietly resolving various contradictions, just like a duel between boxing champion Tai Sen and a child, controlling and foreseeing everything without any suspense. In the end, a strong woman will fall at Ben Whitcott's feet.
Throughout the soothing theme, people can learn a lot from Ben Whitcott. What I remember most clearly is that many people turned a blind eye to the messy garbage on their desks, but Ben Whitcott took the initiative to clean it up. How many young people in the workplace can do this style? We just live a chaotic life and work in a hurry, always ignoring some details and some small things, but sometimes, small things are the last chips to decide success.
Finally, this film, shot from the perspective of an old man who has almost finished his life, will make you feel the true meaning of life. Maybe it's not the struggle we often say, but enjoyment, enjoyment of life, enjoyment of life.
