Small production classic

A good script, good actors, courtroom dramas and family ethics dramas that I have always preferred, all in one movie, and this movie is "The Kramers". Faced with such a film, I cannot be objective at all by watching it once or twice, because it is too easy to get into the play.

The technique of the whole film is very regular. The only thing that feels a little "special" is the ending. Unlike many domestic family films, the last scene is a woman entering the elevator to go upstairs to meet the child. An elevator door separates the husband and wife. on, the movie ends. To use a very common words to describe: concise and meaningful. When I think of some so-called warm-hearted films in China, they always tell the story to the extreme, and even add the content after the child grows up ("Warm Spring", "Father and Son", etc.), I always feel that this is the only way Movies are storytelling, screenwriting, and expansion. Looking at other people's Hollywood, it was done 30 years ago, and you may not be able to comprehend the mystery in a few decades.

There is an actor who can reach a state - if a film is not played by him, the film does not exist. Dustin Hoffman with "Mrs. Kramers" is that realm. Children are born actors, it's not surprising that they can act well, an adult can act like this, this actor is really not a cover. As for Meryl Streep, who started touting Meryl Streep from "The Kramers" to "The Devil Wears Prada", I think her performance is very average, maybe it's Sarah's in "The French Lieutenant's Woman" The character is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and seeing her other characters always carry the shadow of Sarah, so I am looking forward to the school's FTP biography "The Devil Wears Prada", and I will comment on her acting more objectively after watching it.

    Looking at this movie from 40 years ago from today's perspective, its story and subject matter are not much novel, it is nothing more than a divorce lawsuit fighting for the custody of the child, but its outstanding part is that the script is very neat and smooth Like flowing clouds and flowing water, it propped up the core conflict of the entire drama, and the director put a lot of space on the male protagonist and the child after the female protagonist ran away from home. This choice not only enriched the connotation of the film, but also made the film more full. The audience has a strong resonance and sense of substitution. In addition, the biggest highlight is Dustin Hoffman’s performance, which made the image of this father who dealt with family and career deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and created a classic role. The best male protagonist deserves his name. And Aunt Mei won the best supporting actress. The film won the Oscar for Best Picture, in addition to the first-class script and excellent photography, I think the more important reason is that it poke the pain points of ordinary families in American society in the 1970s, just like the real life side. The mirror makes people feel the same.

    16.2.14 is definitely not chicken soup, but an absolutely real healing film. It is powerful and moisturizing silently to create a dramatic and powerful ordinary family, and it interprets an effective and humane struggle in the cracks in reality that the general public may face.
