I have a third partner - experience

Seeing that the director has been married five times, it is no wonder that he can direct such a profound marriage story.

This kind of profound, for the unmarried me, I do not understand very well, I am trying to understand slowly.

The longer two people get along, the essence should return to getting along with themselves.

The male protagonist, he is arrogant, high-spirited, and wants to pursue a different life. A simple life could not satisfy him at all. So he cheated.

However, the life after derailment, the same piece of chicken feathers, is still facing a mid-life crisis, starting to doubt himself, helplessness in life, anger at everything, and adding anger to the heroine in the form of violence.

He is just a child, a child who has not grown up and does not know how to accept himself and how to get along with life.

He lies, avoids, relies too much, and he thinks that everything will be better if he leaves the present. In fact, he couldn't escape himself.

The heroine is also a child, a child who has lost himself. She thinks a lot about others, but too little for herself.

Her unprincipled contribution has become a matter of course in the eyes of the man. Because there is no ego, the heroine is unattractive in the eyes of the male protagonist.

After the man left again and again, she began to reflect, began to try, and gradually found herself. Of course, the process was very painful.

The awakening of women, she does not want to be suppressed, she does not want to be bound. She divorced him, and she was going to find her own happiness.

Finally, has she found her happiness? She found a partner, and the sex was very harmonious. She thought that she had found happiness, and began to rely on it and began to sink.

However, it was discovered that the other party cheated again and again. Angry, angry, and finally begging the other party to return.

Why didn't she leave as bravely as before? Why is she still accepting all this?

Because she started to compromise. Compromise this bloody life, compromise this hurtful marriage, and in the end, compromise with yourself.

She has been losing herself since she was a child, and when she grew up, she had the spark of awakening, but the spark flickered, then faintly beat, and gradually extinguished.

Marriage, this topic is too heavy, a lot of things can't be said, can't be said, don't need to be said. Learn to deal with yourself first.

May you find happiness without relying on experience.

Scenes from a Marriage quotes

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!

  • Marianne: Sometimes you ask such goddamn silly questions.

    Johan: Sorry. Are you angry with me?

    Marianne: I'm not angry, but I'm on the verge of tears. The trouble with me is that I can't get angry. I wish that for once in my life I could really lose my temper, as I sometimes feel I have every right to. I think it would change my life. But that's not the point. You spoke earlier about loneliness. That bit about being strong on your own. I don't believe in your gospel of isolation.I think it's a sign of weakness.

    Johan: What's wrong, Marianne?

    Marianne: It's so... humbling.

    Johan: What's humbling?

    Marianne: I think about you... and I think about myself and about the future. I can't see how you're going to cope without me. Sometimes I think in desperation, "I must look after Johan. He's my responsibility. It's up to me to make sure he's all right. That's the only our lives will be worthwhile."

    Marianne: I don't believe people are strong all on their own. You have to have someone's hand to hold.
