The Irreversible Role of a Mother

Certainly very dramatic, but it is also extremely entertaining. I cannot help but imagine what the men who just came back from the War would have felt about Mildred's character in the film. The portrayal of Mildred is also entertaining, much like the woman who were thrusted into work in the 40's, Joan Crawford's character is also thrown into the world of business. The theme of gender reversal in the movie is apparent, so is the symbolic representation of each character, all of which are well represented. Veda is perhaps the most snobbish character anyone can ever find. Despite all the social issues Mildred Pierce tries to address, it is all embodied within a well constructed and enthralling story.

If you use a black film routine to explain this work, there is no doubt that this ''femme beauty'' does not act according to common sense from the image to the relationship with the protagonist. It is rare that Hollywood, which advocates the traditional American family view, is willing to list the family as a crazy factor to tempt the protagonist to fall.

In the famous film noir directed by Michael Curtis and the representative work of Joan Crawford who won the Oscar, she played a mother who sacrificed everything for her daughter. Although the story of this film is a typical soap opera, the script is sharply written and full of literature, without letting the ethical family love become indiscriminate, and it also strictly controls the cadence and touching atmosphere of the development of the plot, so it is known as the most touching atmosphere in American film history. One of the best ethical melodramas.

Ida Corwin: [to Mildred] Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.

Ida Corwin: [to Wally about his lustful looks in her direction] Leave something on me. I might catch cold.
