"You can see him outside, I can't."

Hearing this sentence, I was inexplicably heartbroken. This is the feeling of parents. We often ask our parents to understand ourselves, and how often did we understand our parents?

"What does an orgasm feel like?"

"I don't know, and neither do my friends."

"Then why do it?"

"Because sometimes it's to see the way he looks at you, and sometimes it's to see his body, because most of the time you can't see it. So you try it, although half of it will regret it after seeing it. "

"Then why are you still doing it?"

"Because I don't regret the remaining half."

Turns out, it's true that most women who have been hearing about not having an orgasm usually just fake it. Does this mean that women are sexually inferior, or does it mean that women pretend to be in love?

"What man do you know who tries to understand a woman's orgasm?"

It's really sad that people who might spend a lifetime together don't even try to understand each other.

    In the era of 1979, the special family members built by the mother for the growth of single-parent teenagers, three unique women in different eras, the director's personal experience, and various external means to identify the era code. Everything points to the temporality of the film, but it is precisely this point that the film is not finished enough. Not directly related to incoherent narratives, de-drama, and constant shifting perspectives, just the lack of a time-related narrative pressure.

    How special and fascinating is the inner monologue.

20th Century Women quotes

  • Dorothea: That was my husband's Ford Galaxy. We drove Jamie home from the hospital in that car.

    Jamie: My mom was forty when she had me. Everyone told her she was too old to be a mother.

    Dorothea: I put my hand through the little window, and he'd squeeze my finger, and I'd tell him life was very big... and unknown.

    Jamie: And she told me that there were animals, and sky, and cities...

    Dorothea: ...music, movies. He'd fall in love, have his own children, have passions, have meaning, have his mom and dad.

    Jamie: When they got divorced, my father moved back east and left the car with us. He calls on birthdays and Christmas. Last time I felt close to him was on my birthday in 1974. He bought me mirrored sunglasses. I saw the president fall down the stairs and I threw up on the carpet.

    Dorothea: Since then it's just been us.

  • Dorothea: Actually, it was, it was built in 1905, and the same family had it forever, but they lost all their money during the war, and then there was a fire and... You should've been here for that. Anyway, so, it was just a mess. They let it fall apart. Then a bohemian inherited it in the '60s, then a bunch of free spirits moved in, and they lost it to the bank.
