20th century women

The reason for watching it is to see such an evaluation when browsing a website: 2016 high score plot.

The title may seem grand, but it is, reflecting the musical, social, economic background of the 20th century through the eyes of single mother D... Dorothea and son Jamie.

Throughout the film, is the narration. I really like the lines in the movie. While watching this movie, I actually cried like an idiot in front of the screen.

Any thoughts on the film itself?

One, every shot and every picture in the film is beautiful, and the photos taken by Abbie are all cute little details that make people want to take screenshots. The director used a lot of slow-motion push-pull, just... like it?

Second, Abbie, a man with red hair, likes punk music, and likes to record his daily life with a camera. It is both assertive and delicate, which I think is her character trait. In a gathering of friends, the word "menstruation" was boldly spoken, which still had a certain impact in the 1980s.

Third, regarding "feminist rights", there are many words "feminist rights" in the second half of the film. Maybe the director wants to express some point, but I don't think there is a clear and good expression here.

Fourth, Julie, not much to say here. Always abide by the bottom line with Jamie, which is what I admire about her? btw , she said friends can't still be friends after having sex.

Fifth, I appreciate and feel distressed about Dolucia.

When an adolescent son is dissatisfied with what his mother does, he will explain to the people around him: She came from the depression. This inexplicably touches me. When I think of the rebellious period, I always cannot understand and resist the kindness of my mother.

The end credits feature a small plane(?) and Jamie's narration: "I thought this was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, but maybe we haven't been this close since then." The film ends.

The film may not have much substantive meaning, or the director showed what he wanted to express and I didn't get it. For the time being, is it a literary chicken soup slice?

20th Century Women quotes

  • Jamie: I thought that was just the beginning of a new relationship with her, where she'd really tell me stuff. But maybe it was never really like that again. Maybe that was it.

    Dorothea: In March of 1999, I'll start to feel tired and confused. When I finally go to the doctor, he will say that the cancer in my lungs had already travelled to my breast and brain. I'll try to teach Jamie what to do with my stocks, but my instructions will be impossible to understand.

    Julie: Abbie will take me to Planned Parenthood. And I will go on the pill. I will go to NYU and lose touch with Jamie and Dorothea, and I will stop talking to my mom, I will fall in love with Nicholas, we will move to Paris, and choose not to have children.

    Abbie: I will stay in Santa Barbara. In just two years, I'll marry Dave. A month after I get married Carlotta will die. A week later, Max will die too. I will work out of my garage and show in local galleries. Against my doctor's advice, I will get pregnant, and by the time I'm thirty I'll have two boys.

    William: I'll live with Dorothea for another year. Then I'll open a pottery store in Sedona Arizona. I will marry Laurie, a singer-songwriter. We'll get divorced in a year. Then I'll meet Sandy, we will marry, and I will continue to do my pottery.

    Jamie: My mom will meet Jim in 1983, they'll be a couple until she dies. On her birthday each year, he will buy her a trip on a biplane. Years after she's gone I'll finally get married and have a son. I'll try to explain to him what his grandmother was like - but it will be impossible.

  • Jamie: [to his mom] You know, when the firemen come... people don't usually invite them for dinner.
