The film tells the story of 4 people (two couples) revealing their scars at midnight after being drunk. It sounds weird, but that's how it is. Within two hours, full of quarrels, irony, cursing, and even violence (too many swear words made the film even directly promote the birth of today's American film classification system), and the endless attacks made the audience as physically and mentally exhausted as the protagonist. I admit that this is a good movie, but I really don't want to watch it a second time.
Regarding the subject of the film, I think it is about marriage. On the surface, the two couples have one thing in common, that is, the wife's father is very rich. So their combination was a question mark from the beginning, and the man's motives and father-in-law's strength were both hidden dangers. But I think this alone is not enough to keep the title of this film in history. What it reveals must be a common problem, that is, love engenders hatred-the ending that any marriage can face. Passion will be extinguished, love will never last forever, so what is left? Martha admits that George is the only person who has given her happiness, and their talented tacit understanding is also enviable, but the accumulation of emptiness and complaints still make them enemies, and they look good (George does not want to kiss Martha, Martha does not want to dress George) Eventually evolved into incompatible. Love and marriage are the products of human civilization, and they are bound to become permanent topics in human society. Where should we go? The tragic ending of the film is desperate, but the thoughts it brings are useful.
The thinking game of Martha and George is the highlight of the film and also promotes the development of the plot. And that fictional son is even more impressive. But I didn't understand George's life experience. Did he really kill his parents? What does this have to do with the theme?
I finally watched a film by Elizabeth Taylor, the girl who won two Oscars (including the film), married eight times (including two consecutive times with the film's actor Richard Burton), and a golden age girl in Hollywood. It is also worth mentioning that this film is the only film in the history of Oscars that has nominated all the nominated awards (a total of 13), which shows its perfection (although it has lost to the "Four Seasons" in many important awards people"). With the increase in Oscar awards, this record is likely to be maintained forever.
