The child brings the beginning and cannot stop the end

This movie reminds me of "Road to Revolution", which is about the cruel reality of men and women before marriage and unhappy after marriage, telling all the audience: marriage is the tomb of love! This is absolutely a famous saying, no matter how much you love each other before marriage, and whether you were born into death or not, anyway, marriage is like a deadly nuclear weapon, destroying your significant other, destroying the so-called love in your heart.

Originally, after watching the movie, I had this question: Is Frankie Dean's own flesh and blood? But in retrospect, the answer should be yes, because the film shows the intimacy and warmth of Dean and Frankie from the beginning, and the film deeply shows the love of the two father and daughter from beginning to end. Contrast with Dean's anger when he heard Bobby, if Frankie was Bobby's, Dean would not love her so much.

The failed marriage in the movie was not forged by either one's fault, after all, marriage is a matter for both parties. If you really want to blame it, blame Frankie for the unexpectedly pregnant child. If there was no such child, or Cindy would not have known Dean for just a few days, made a few jokes, skipped a dance, sang a song, and decided to start a family. Cindy, who wanted to get rid of the child, couldn't get the doctor to do it. She walked out of the operating room crying. On the train, Dean said to Cindy who was crying in his arms: let's be a family. let's be a family, what a touching sentence, they don’t know if it’s Dean’s flesh and blood, maybe it is, more likely it’s not, but in the period between leaving the clinic and being on the train, Dean decided to take it Maybe it is not his responsibility. At that moment, Cindy decided to entrust himself to the man who was holding him.

The child brought the beginning of this marriage, but they could not prevent the end.
Cindy couldn't stand his man who was drinking and doing nothing all day long, he was suspicious and sensitive, even though he was a man who had moved him to a mess. She knew that her parents were not in a happy marriage, and the quarrels were full of her previous family life, but her mother had tolerated them one by one. These Cindy all saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. So she can't always be the one who compromises and concessions, and she can't stand the verbal violence with her husband every day. Everyone knows that a broken family has a profound impact on children. Although Cindy loves her children deeply, what kind of life can the children who live in the quarrel between their parents every day get?
Frankie cried and stopped his father from letting him go, but Dean told Frankie to return to his mother. Cindy came over and took Frankie away. The moment Frankie said "I love him" I wish Cindy's response was "I love him too", but she didn't, she just said indifferently "I know. It's okay." But if It's hard to reconcile if you can break the mirror.

Do they still love each other?
After Cindy said that I am going to divorce, Dean took off the ring in his hand and threw it away fiercely. But when the car started, he immediately got out of the car and went to look for the ring in the grass. Cindy followed up and looked for it.

Comparing the splendid fireworks and the dim evening, love changes from gorgeous to dim marriage.
