What happened after Nora left? Having economic status is only a trivial first step. Can you really let go of the past? What if there are children? What if the husband rehabilitated and threw it away? The Kramers demonstrate these complex issues. After getting rid of the role of a good wife and a good mother, a successful heroine not only has to face the question of whether to take back custody, but also has to face a husband who is not strictly unqualified. Fortunately, this film did not become a purely ideological preaching film, and the custody of the son did not become the last step in the realization of women's self-worth. Love seems to have come back because of the gentle transformation of the person in front of her, but it came too late, and the damage caused to each other was irreparable. Although she longed for a son, she finally chose to reduce the secondary damage to the child. The heroine who joined the workplace and has a successful career went to court with her ex-husband. Although she won custody, she finally chose to give up taking the child away, more because she saw that Dustin had become a mature and responsible nurse who could take care of the child independently. Dad, and has established a stable father-son relationship with the child, adults can't make a one-size-fits-all relationship with their companions who have been with them for many years, let alone children. The tragedy of women in that era was that they could not be heard and understood in the family. Only by escaping from the family through "deviant" behaviors could they find themselves and realize their values. When they faced their mature husbands and innocent children again, But I can't really start over without any guilt. However, was there any other way out besides running away? Without leaving, perhaps the husband will never be able to mature and realize his neglect of his wife's emotional needs, and the mother who is on the verge of mental breakdown will not be able to give her children more love. As the heroine said, running away is the only choice. The theory in the book always says that feminists who escape from the patriarchal family by achieving economic freedom will find their own new happiness and fulfillment like a cloud, and this film shows a more complicated situation: this The revolution in marriage takes place between roles (husbands) and roles (wives), but not between people. When the two were at each other's throats in court, they were husband and wife who couldn't adapt to the "husband's breadwinner and wife taking care of the family" marriage system; but when the tangled and painful Aunt May finally hugged and cried with Dustin Hoffman, they were just two of them. A fragile man who deeply loves his son. I love Mr & Mrs Kramer not for its radical feminist ideology, but because it shows the truth of life itself that is more complex than theory: women can prove their business, men can prove themselves There is no happiness once and for all, there is no black and white person, there is no immutable position, more complicated than reason are delicate and profound feelings, lovers are entangled, contradictory, and painful for their own choices... Sometimes, These pains are related to the backward system and social environment, and sometimes they are irrelevant. People have to face this human being and life that is by no means perfect but worth paying for.
