    When I read Joyce's "The Dead" for the first time, I thought the ending was so beautiful. I copied the ending in one or two thousand words in one breath. Now I hear the characters in the movie read beautifully. It's a pity that Clos passed the Oscar once again. I actually really liked the script itself, but the ending was too...

    I also don't understand why the heroine is willing to be a shadow writer for this scumbag and protect his reputation. She is a wise woman who can write and know how to fall in love with a mediocre person, except that she was a little handsome when she was...

    In the whole play, only the heroine's acting is the best, but Oscar can only accompany him. The lives of writers and husbands are still different from ordinary people, and tolerance and compromise are not...

    The little heroine is very good in casting, and even her voice is very similar to Glenn Close. It is a very typical award season drama dominated by actors. The degree of completion is not bad, and the ending idea is very good. It was not made into an inspirational film where the heroine wakes up overnight to speak for herself, but the final treatment of the hero is a bit rushed, and the two The protagonists are hard to convince. In addition, if this Colette of the heroine and KK is a bit of a...

    Men are prisoners of fame and sexuality, like children, dependent on women for protection and flattery. Women are the king maker, the uncrowned king. They see through everything, not only can protect their family and love, but also have a decent drink with others from time to time. In the play, Joan finally chooses to compromise, but this does not mean giving up, but just: as a woman, in the face of fame and love, she willfully chooses the latter; about right and wrong, in the face of family...

    In the current trend of feminism, one can almost guess the ending after reading the beginning. The story itself is too simplistic, dramatic, and masked, and the pattern is very small, but it gives enough space for dramatic conflict to brew. Overall disappointing, of course Glenn Close's performance was...

    So can't stand it and still been together for so many years... The actress is so good, and the couple dancing and singing happily on the bed is so...

    3.5/5. Glenn did a great job, and her performance elevates this regular drama a lot. Not only because she was so contagious, but also because of the complicated emotions on her face from the beginning, which made me especially want to know what happened. So look forward to...

The Wife quotes

  • Joan Castleman: I am a kingmaker.

  • Joan Castleman: I can't do it anymore, Joe. I can't do it. I can't take it. I can't take the humiliation of holding your coat and arranging your pills and picking the crumbs out of your beard and being shoved aside with all the other wives to talk about some goddamn shopping trip while you, while you say to all the, the gathering sycophants that your wife doesn't write! Your wife, who just won the Nobel Prize!

    Joe Castleman: So, if I'm such an insensitive and talentless fucking piece of shit, why the fuck did you marry me?
