We are children first.
There is a very small point, I don't know if it resonates with everyone. It is a child from a family with slightly better economic conditions. When she grows up, she is not very short of money. She may lack love more than a child from an ordinary family.
With a strong mother and decent financial conditions, Martha may be the loveless child.
Sean, no money, no culture, no skills, alcoholism, smoking, cheating, drugs. While enjoying love, it's like a reformed addict who is exposed after the relationship breaks down. But one characteristic is that he is humorous (can tell jokes).
When Martha's amniotic fluid broke, she stood in front of the refrigerator and said tell me a joke, and he made her laugh at more than one. After the derailment, he stood with the lawyer, told jokes to the lawyer, and said that he should have known this kind of nonsense earlier.
Interesting people and humorous people are easy to be liked by others. As long as he is willing, facing a child who lacks love, it is probably within his grasp.
Martha, as an adult, has a white-collar worker in her own office, has high clothes and high quality, but is blocked by love. From the very beginning, when choosing a car, it seemed that she had chosen the wrong person. Sean kept complaining about Martha's mother, who was not prepared enough when she was about to give birth, like an irresponsible person. Of course, Martha wasn't well prepared either, so she took the consequences.
As an adult, as a mother.
Most people think that giving birth is just a piece of meat falling out of the stomach. Every woman will experience it, everyone is the same, there is no big risk, and if there is a risk, it will not happen to them. The chance of an accident in the production process is small, but it is possible for every woman, there are objective factors and subjective factors. Martha's accident came from her subjective paranoia, and on the other hand, maybe it was her rebelliousness, wanting to confront her mother.
The insistence on having children at home and the refusal to assist in difficult labor are the reasons for the loss of children. Seeing Masha who finally reconciled with herself in court, I think this is more acceptable than "Manchester by the Sea". After the accident, the protagonist has reconciled with herself, and life has moved forward. So depressed. The most touching thing is to see the film taken by the husband when the child was born. It is a proof that a life has come, and it is a thought. Before that, all Martha's thoughts about the child came from the apple seeds in the refrigerator. Nurturing a life is the same as nurturing animals and plants. It requires careful care and professional knowledge, but many times we may only understand it after losing it, or make progress in learning. Pregnancy is paranoid and ignorant, but the moment when the cultivated apple seed sprouts, is the meaning of new hope.
