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.
