The feature film "Blue Valentine's Day", written and directed by Derek Sianfrans, is about the loss of beautiful love and the tragedy of the death of husband and wife.
In the film, Dean and Cindy have been together for six years, and their hearts are shaken by life and love. In the past six years, they have truly loved and had a lively, beautiful and lovely daughter. The furnishings in the house left marks of their happy life. The film doesn't show much about their sweet love after marriage. What they show more is that they quarrel and fight in ordinary life. They are also conscious, so they think of finding a new "excitement" to activate love. Dean, the husband played by Ryan Gosling, proposed to send his daughter to his grandfather’s house. They went to a Happy Valley hotel to enjoy the world of the two. The wife Cindy, played by Michelle Williams, readily agreed. People’s hard work and determination to save the family. One Valentine’s Day night, they went out, but they had a dispute. The focus was on their differences in attitudes towards life. Cindy wanted her husband to start a career and achieve value, but her husband, Dean, was satisfied with the simple and plain present. Life, the so-called ordinary people's life with a hot doll wife, his life attitude of contentment with the status quo contrasted with his aggressive wife. Different life values ​​made the two people more and more quarrelsome. One detail of the film portrays the characters of the two people very successfully. When they entered the hotel room, Dean grabbed the microphone to imitate the voice of the future child, immersed in his love for this ordinary life, but Cindy could not bear it. In her eyes, this kind of pediatric behavior by her husband is extremely boring, and she hates her husband's inaction even more. Therefore, the difference in values ​​is manifested in all aspects of life. Even sex is dull and has become a must-do for couples. Therefore, trying to rely on to maintain the close relationship between the two seems to be so powerless.
