      Introduction to the Good Wife

      This article is adapted from the novel of the same name, in which the heroine Joan sacrifices her dreams, talents and ambitions to assist her husband, Jo, who is a writer. And on the eve of the Nobel Prize in Literature, she will face the greatest sacrifice of her life.

      At night, Joe received a call from the Nobel Foundation Arvid and learned that he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Joe and his wife, Joan, were so happy when they got the call that...

      Maybe it's the fault of the times

      The director is too weak, and the whole plot is procrastinated, which makes people feel very ugly, but the actors perform well, and the plot can obviously be more in-depth, but unfortunately everything can only be experienced by oneself... What is a wife? What is a husband? What is life? What is a business? What is marriage? What is ideal? What is persistence? What is giving up? What are we looking for all our lives? What do we want to achieve? What are we happy for? What are we suffering...

      Be a good person, find a good person, and then focus on each other to complement each other

      The American version of The Adelmans.

      The husband is responsible for the cheating experience, finding inspiration, providing stories, providing ideas and structure; the wife is responsible for filling the skeleton with flesh and blood, using good language, proper rhythm, and vivid rhythm to add decoration and decoration to the story.

      A good literary work, full of rhythmic language and rhythm, is like a beautiful woman's beautiful face; well-proportioned...

      The hero is actually a tragic figure

      I don't think the husband is actually a complete scumbag (he's just sorry for his first wife), and if he insists on moral evaluation, his writer wife is also a mistress. The two people knew and fell in love with each other because of their literary dream. In this film, apart from the husband who abandoned his original wife and married the real muse, he did not see him really cheating. The cheating episode was actually a flirting episode with his now-literate wife. And the clip of...

      condition

      Love has no conditions, but everything else requires conditions and reasons. Women's unconditional giving and men's endless demands have become the main factors for the imbalance of this society. This needs to change, and everyone (both male and female) needs to balance the energies of both sexes within, which is the key to change. This will manifest as more expressions of unconditional love.

      The film tries to express the contradiction and unity between the inner world and the outer...

      Compared with "45th Anniversary", it seems too neat and straightforward, lacks emotional brewing, and also seems to be one-sided and unconvincing. The space for Glen Cloze to play is relatively limited, but her undercurrent of calmness is really good. In my mind, this year's awards season is the best...

      It's like the story of a rich man throwing a bag of gold into a poor house and making it unhappy. From the first day of ghostwriting for her husband, the wife should take into account the latter. No matter what, the family shouldn't let all their emotions explode on the award day, and then anger the husband to death, instead being a "good wife". The characters are too far-fetched, but the actors are really good, especially the wife's subtlety....

      Glenn Close has a reverent, innocent look, a return to basics at this age. The movie gave me the impression of a fondant cake, with beautifully decorated parts, but no taste. The historical part is made into another line, the management is too obvious, and the tagging of feminism is just a little bit of water, with a head but no tail. Glenn's performance is not too difficult, but she has a high degree of completion, and she has saved the quality of the whole movie by herself. What the image of...

    Positive reviews

    Glenn Close’s performance was natural and hierarchical, step by step the process of "The Wife"’s inner collapse, making people sigh that ginger is still hot. "The Wife" also attempts to criticize the unfair reality of female writers in the patriarchal society, and even all female talents that are difficult to display and face up to. Glenn Close also interprets this "sense of depression"   . (Comment by "Southern Metropolis Daily")

    Negative comment

    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...
