This may be the first film where I stopped thinking after watching it. Even though the actor's emotions are still attached to me, I don't know what to write about. Just like the couple who have been married for ten years in the story, they know that they need to talk to each other, but they don't know how to start or how to talk peacefully. The last time I watched a movie and cried, it was Nolan's "Interstellar".
We often describe a good couple as good as one person, a harmonious community of interests, and the same story written together. But when the two finally got divorced, you discovered that the so-called marriage has always been two independent novels based on the same timeline. Although the characters in the stories are the same, it is very likely that one person wrote a girl’s literature. It is a ghost story. Like a prisoner in two cells, facing an inevitable dilemma.
Intimate relationships have never been equal. There is always one party who pays silently and is too exhausted to bear it, and there is always one party who thinks that he has sacrificed more and is always justified. When the collapsed party chose to end and the long divorce process began, the two finally began to confront each other's confessions, finally began to discover all the illusions of the past, and finally began to argue their own sincerity.
Fear of marriage may be the fear of all the indecents in divorce. No matter how civilized the agreement is to break up peacefully, whether there is fault or whoever is wrong, the divorce will eventually evolve into bloody and naked melee, because after the final warmth is over, only the benefits are real, and only winning or losing is possible. Quantized. An unintentional mistake or an unintentional joke can be used to attack the opponent. It's like opening Pandora's box and cursing each other with the most vicious words in his life until one party gives up surrendering and compromise.
You are like enemies who hate to the death, the love in the past is like a joke, and the time spent together is like a scam. You personally killed you in this marriage story, and also killed the partner who was with you.
However, the film is still very warm, at least both parties want to fight for the custody of the children, because this is the only true and beautiful souvenir in this marriage. But in the real world, it is often one party who gives up and leaves happily. After many years, looking at his white hair in the mirror, he hopes to return to the world of his child.
A large number of long shots and self-analyzing monologues are silent recognition of the actors' acting skills, and both leading actors are worthy of an Oscar nomination. The lawyer played by Dunn is even more magical. Next year’s Oscar’s Best Picture is worth looking forward to.
In the marriage story, there are no good and bad people, no absolute right and wrong, there have been laughs, there have been tears, you are accomplices who have wounded each other's hearts, and are also accomplices who use each other to change your lives.
