Hello everyone, this is Meng Meng, who is talking to you about movies.
Full of stamina, this is my first impression of an excellent family drama.
This feeling is usually brought to me by the Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda.
I didn't expect that I, who love Japanese family dramas, would also be moved by an American family drama, and I couldn't stop it for a long time.
This movie is Scarlett Johansson's new film.
"Marriage Story"
The story begins with two warm montages. In the elegant and cheerful music, we gradually understand each other in the eyes of the male and female protagonists, full of sweetness.
However, as soon as the camera turned, the two were actually doing marriage mediation.
Under the arrangement of the mediator, they wrote down who they saw in each other. However, during the recitation stage, the heroine refuses and slams the door.
She doesn't want mediation, she wants a divorce.
The film truly reflects a special stage in a real marriage.
A promising female star in Los Angeles went to New York for love and married a talented stage director.
Over the years, her longing for her career and her husband's dedication to stage play made her gradually feel that she has gradually lost herself.
So she returned to Los Angeles with the children, and at the advice of her family began to file for divorce.
Husbands who don't care about property also have to answer for the ownership of their children.
This is a marriage story, not a love story.
A love story may represent two words: romance.
And the marriage story is represented by two words: true.
Two of them moved me deeply.
One was when the husband temporarily changed lawyers in court, breaking the peace agreement that the two had made.
Afterwards, the two sat down calmly to discuss divorce matters, but what had been a relaxed and cheerful start slowly turned into a hysterical quarrel.
The two sides accused each other and hurt each other, and it seemed that the devil they hated the most was standing on the opposite side.
Angry husband realizes he's out of control after smashing a wall with a punch.
He slowly knelt on the ground, hugged his wife's leg, and said sorry in pain.
Just like the moment when all couples quarrel, all the foul language poured out unreservedly on the people who once loved each other.
The wound got bigger and bigger until it couldn't heal.
Another paragraph is the end. After the two divorced peacefully, the husband went to pick up his son.
Her husband, who was once reluctant to leave New York, accepted a permanent position at UCLA.
The heroine who heard the news was startled, her out of focus eyes seemed to say: It would be great if this moment came earlier.
In the next scene, the husband finds his son reciting the piece of paper his wife had written during the marriage mediation.
It was him in her eyes.
The husband read with his son, holding back tears as he read.
"I'll never stop loving him, even though it doesn't make sense now."
When reading this sentence, the acting skills of the two actors have been sublimated along with the plot. Although the emotions did not erupt, they naturally revealed.
This paragraph also very subtly echoes the montage part at the beginning of the film.
When the male protagonist slowly read out why we fell in love with each other written by the female protagonist during the mediation, I believe that the scenes of the past also flashed in his mind constantly.
The story begins with a montage and ends with a montage.
I believe that what the director of this film is expressing is not to complain about the terribleness of marriage. He hopes that the audience can correctly view each person's different marriage stories and think more about why they fell in love in the first place.
Leave more tolerance and love to your family, they are an integral part of your life.
The film's pacing, music, editing, and several long takes are clever, but the two actors' performances are most noteworthy.
Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver may both be nominated for their first acting Oscars for their natural acting.
This year's best actor is difficult to win because the competition is too fierce, so the queen depends on the follow-up public relations.
