    I have always wondered what a "twentieth century woman" is: Dorothea, who has gone through changes in the world and strives to control the rhythm of life; or Abbie who wraps her inner fragility with strength; or Julie who "can do whatever she wants." The grand changes and current affairs are all placed in the background speeches, narrations and TV pictures, and the choice to focus on depicting the trajectory of each person's life is very fragmented but very complete. The explanation of the...

    An enhanced version of the feel-good town growth story of a lonely boy vs a beautiful girl (becoming a mother, a female tenant sister, and a bed partner girl). Continuing the editing strategy of "Life of a Novice", the marginal and small characters in the big era are embellished with seemingly macro era references (before Reagan took office at the end of the 70s, Ji Jin's noisy late sound). Mom is especially cute, trying to trend old-school clothes (?), Annette Bening. Mother and son are the...

    It's enough to be scattered, but probably only when it is scattered can it piece together the mother's mood to see the child "becoming a human being in the outside...

    Mainly talking about the seventies, and finally zoomed into the entire century. How can this kind of theme think of boyhood, but the timeline is not fully spread out. At the end, looking back on a person's life, that's how it is, there is always a pile of shit after...

    The narrative cuts through time and gender and remains undisturbed. The characters continue to have independent dialogues, speak and reflect each other, and eventually become a fragment of the era of multi-voice symphony, achieving a certain echo or dislocation of the living state between the centuries. The flowing neon, brightly spliced ​​colors and jumping music are like a time tunnel, calling for the collision of people in the rift. It's weird that there's only one Oscar...

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
