The Wife negative comment

2022-01-09 08:03
In the film, Glenn Close gave a wonderful performance, but the script itself was lackluster. The climax at the beginning of the story, the director is trying to catch it, but unfortunately he tried too hard. The plot that followed was so plain that one thought it opened the Nobel official documentary. Of course, the director has obviously not forgotten that he dug a huge earth-shattering hole before, interspersed in the documentary-style running account with flashbacks of the protagonists and couples when they met and fell in love when they were young, pretending to inadvertently shake out the burden that seemed to be buried with great care: the wife ghosted her husband. The only minor problem is that the director himself did not treat this as revealing the mystery, but hoped that in the next 2/3 of the time, the audience pretended not to know what happened, and in order to get a good impression, the audience had to cooperate with him. Many commentators stated that the film used seemingly mild means to accuse the patriarchal society of the cannibalization of women's personality and wisdom, but this film is really not worthy of such a grand theme. Perhaps what the director wanted to say is quite simple. If you want to be a model couple in the eyes of others, it would be nice to have someone who is a patient with Stockholm syndrome.  .

The Wife quotes

  • Elaine Mozell: Don't ever think that you can get their attention.

    Young Joan: Whose?

    Elaine Mozell: The men. Who write the reviews. Who run the publishing houses. Who edit the magazines. The ones who decide who gets to be taken seriously, who gets to be put up on a pedestal for the rest of their lives.

    Young Joan: A writer has to write.

    Elaine Mozell: A writer has to be read, honey.

  • [last lines]

    Joan Castleman: [on the plane back] When we get home, I'm going to sit you and your sister down, and I'm going to tell you everything.

    David Castleman: Okay, Mom.
