What are the good movies about midlife crisis?

Middle-aged crisis, a particularly heavy topic. I remember seeing a comment from a netizen describing middle-aged people: "Middle-aged people are like a journey to the west. The pressure of Wukong, Bajie's figure, Friar Sand's hairstyle and Tang Priest's ramble. It is getting closer and closer to the west. "

Strangely, individuals especially like movies whose themes are far away from themselves, and they seem to be able to see themselves in the future. Through the experiences of people who have been there, we can face everything that is coming more indifferently. Maybe this is the charm of the movie ~

There are many movies about the crisis of middle age in Hollywood, such as Life with a Glass of Wine, Lost in Tokyo, Canhua and so on. However, the weatherman in Nicolas Cage was the only one who pushed me personally. In addition to the strong attraction of the protagonist, the whole movie gives me a more real feeling, and the ideas conveyed are sure to benefit people a lot. Different from the life with a glass of wine, the meteorologist did not try to get rid of the existing life and seek hope and comfort, but presented this miserable life completely. In Life with a Glass of Wine, the master exiled himself and finally tasted a bright and upward force. However, the weatherman is sinking from beginning to end. David, the hero, feels gloomy about his work and life, divorces his wife, and his son doesn't understand. His daughter is laughed at by her classmates at school because of her obesity, and her personality is melancholy. What makes David sad is that his father Robert is terminally ill. No matter how hard David tries, his problems still exist. The heaviness and pressure brought by the film made us as breathless as that man. That man's father became a lighthouse, and David was endowed with many truths about life. In the world of adults, there is no simple word, and problems in life follow one after another. None of them seem easy to solve, but they must be faced and solved hard.

Most domestic films about the middle-aged crisis are expressed in the form of comedies, such as People on the Road series, and many films directed by Desire for Survival and Xu zhēng all show the middle-aged crisis. Maybe only in this way can it be accepted by the public.

Akita, a Chinese film shortlisted for Warsaw International Film Festival, is also a film that profoundly shows the crisis of middle age. The film describes a Beijing businessman who has a midlife crisis. This is a story about the frustrated middle class, their pride and struggle. The film is based on the friends around the director, who received higher education in the early days, had a house and a car, and had high hopes for children. They can think independently, have values that they think they can stick to, and of course have careers called careers. However, their business is not enough to make them rich and powerful. On the surface, they can maintain the quality of life of the middle-class elite, but in fact, their careers are difficult to do, and their hearts are torn in the struggle for interests and survival. The film is sincere and moving with its detailed insight into life.
