condition

Love has no conditions, but everything else requires conditions and reasons. Women's unconditional giving and men's endless demands have become the main factors for the imbalance of this society. This needs to change, and everyone (both male and female) needs to balance the energies of both sexes within, which is the key to change. This will manifest as more expressions of unconditional love.

The film tries to express the contradiction and unity between the inner world and the outer world in a plain way, without too much judgment, leaving a lot of space for the audience to understand. Few directors have such courage, because this can be said to be Box office "taboo". But it's also the beauty of this movie.

    Watch the last third. The important things in life are not at all important after death, I just hope that he can live well; the things that are very mindful when we are together, regret why we can't accept those little things after breaking up, people are like this, they cherish them only when they are lost. Did he believe her love at the last moment before he died?

    In the current trend of feminism, one can almost guess the ending after reading the beginning. The story itself is too simplistic, dramatic, and masked, and the pattern is very small, but it gives enough space for dramatic conflict to brew. Overall disappointing, of course Glenn Close's performance was convincing.

The Wife quotes

  • Elaine Mozell: Don't ever think that you can get their attention.

    Young Joan: Whose?

    Elaine Mozell: The men. Who write the reviews. Who run the publishing houses. Who edit the magazines. The ones who decide who gets to be taken seriously, who gets to be put up on a pedestal for the rest of their lives.

    Young Joan: A writer has to write.

    Elaine Mozell: A writer has to be read, honey.
