From my mother's standpoint, I gave the film a 5 out of 5

As a face-blind person, I recognized the heroine at first sight as the wheelchair-bound sister in "The Surprise of Lan Boo". It was indeed the unique temperament of Joan Crawford (Joan Crawford). At first glance, I was a little worried about the old-fashioned old-fashioned movie. My "fear" of romance movies is a bit like the feeling of watching "Story Meeting" more than 30 years ago. Some are reluctant. However, the shooting at the beginning and Joan Crawford's wobbly footsteps by the river with big shoulder pads brought me all the way to the end. And, for this film, I gave it a 5 because I am also a mother, a heartbroken mother.

Veda and Mildred are deeply relevant even today, more than seventy years later. The Chinese name "Desires and Love Demons" is completely useless. Is it necessary to criticize Mildred for doting on his daughter Veda? Which mother doesn't want to give her children a good life? In today's society, which mother doesn't want to be like Mildred, but many people may not be like that. Mildred is so hard-working, even if she can bear hardships and stand like Mildred, she may not be as successful as she is.

Mildred Pierce quotes

  • Mildred Pierce: I'm sorry I did that... I'd've rather cut off my hand!

  • Veda Pierce: With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture. And this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls.
