It should at least be nominated for the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. The female lawyer played by Laura Dern is too real. There is a paragraph where the lawyer she plays speaks about people's inherent views on mothers because it resonates too much, and won warm applause from the audience. social pressure. The biggest difference between this film and "The Kramers" is the addition of divorce lawyers and the details of the lawsuit for custody. Many similar films skip this link because they are worried that the debate will make people feel boring, but this film has the lawyer and debate scene the funniest, the most ironic, and the closest to reality, reflecting the excellent script, and the director. Observation of life.

Another round of applause was Adam Driver singing, OMG! I watched two of his movies today, let's not talk about his ability to control large lines, and even his singing is so good. It seems that Kai Luoren in Star Wars is really the role he has played, and he is the least able to reflect his talent. of one.

Many scenes are long shots to show arguments, making this film more like a stage play, and I admire the strength of the actors. Especially in the scene of a husband and wife quarrel, the explosive force is full, and people thoroughly feel the harm caused by this verbal quarrel. Scarlett is definitely her best performance this time. She doesn't need to show off her sexiness at all. You will completely forget that she is Scarlett, a black widow. She has faded away all the halo, and she has turned into an ordinary mother who pursues career and freedom.

The opening part is simply the best wedding vows template at the wedding. After reading it at the end, no one can hold back tears. Sometimes we often wonder why two good people who love each other get divorced, and this film is a typical example.

Many times the beginning of a marriage is because of passion and attraction, and some differences are covered up, but over time, if the cracks are not repaired, they will always be revealed. The film is obviously telling people that they must think carefully before getting married, and whether the compromises they need to make for this marriage can really be done. Of course, no marriage is perfect, but if both parties can compromise and make concessions, it will always last longer than unilateral accommodation.

The film's discussion of marriage, relationship between men and women, and family is worth thinking about, and it presents each step of divorce and the price to be paid in great detail. After reading it, I believe many people will think: "The cost of divorce is too high, and it is impossible to get a divorce at all."

Marriage Story quotes

  • Nora Fanshaw: People don't accept mothers who drink too much wine and yell at their child and call him an asshole. I get it. I do it too. We can accept an imperfect dad. Let's face it, the idea of a good father was only invented like 30 years ago. Before that, fathers were expected to be silent and absent and unreliable and selfish, and can all say we want them to be different. But on some basic level, we accept them. We love them for their fallibilities, but people absolutely don't accept those same failings in mothers. We don't accept it structurally and we don't accept it spiritually. Because the basis of our Judeo-Christian whatever is Mary, Mother of Jesus, and she's perfect. She's a virgin who gives birth, unwaveringly supports her child and holds his dead body when he's gone. And the dad isn't there. He didn't even do the fucking. God is in heaven. God is the father and God didn't show up. So, you have to be perfect, and Charlie can be a fuck up and it doesn't matter. You will always be held to a different, higher standard. And it's fucked up, but that's the way it is.

  • Bert Spitz: You know what this is like? This is like that joke about the woman at the hairdresser, she's going to Rome. You know this?

    Charlie: I don't.

    Bert Spitz: This woman is at her hairdresser, and she says, "I'm going to Rome on Holiday." And he says, "Oh, really? What airline are you taking?" She says, "Alitalia." He says, "Alitalia? Are you crazy? That's the worst - that's terrible. Don't take that. Where you gonna stay?" She says, "I'm gonna stay at the Hassler." "The Hassler? What, are you kidding? They're renovating the Hassler. You'll hear hammering all night long. You won't sleep. What are you gonna see?" She says, "I think I'm gonna try to go the Vatican." "The Vatican? You'll be standing in line all day long. You'll never get to see anything."

    Charlie: I'm sorry, Bert, am I paying for this joke?
