Marriage is a war against mediocrity

How long is the lifespan of love? Researchers at the University of Pavia in Italy did a special study in 2005 to prove that the longest "love" feeling does not last more than a year. But when love is put into the fixed pattern of marriage, how can the feeling of "love" continue in just one year? In the third act of "Marriage Scene", the male protagonist shows off to his wife that he wants to run away from home with his lover. He does not say that I don't love you anymore. It is slow but broken to say "I am really tired of all the nitpicking and tolerance in ordinary life, all the trivial things, I just want to adjust myself".
Therefore, the biggest enemy of marriage is not love. Her biggest enemy may really be life. A mediocre and ordinary life is a process of blending in the differences between two similar characters or completely different characters. In this life and process, in fact, There are not many romances, and more of what you are facing is the fragmentation and disturbance of chicken feathers in one place. Getting up in the morning to make breakfast, cleaning the dishes and washing clothes after returning home, the troubles of the birth and growth of the child, the parents and relatives of both sides face zero and zero. . . Sometimes it's not miserable, but it's definitely not like spring in all seasons. And although these have certain patterns, you definitely can't predict the sudden changes. Many of those who want to bring down existing marriages may be an extreme way of avenging their mediocre lives. But the problem is, you choose liberation, but when you start another marriage, you will still face all the trivial things you used to be. Therefore, only by overcoming the mediocre life and discovering the beauty in the ordinary triviality can you have a relatively beautiful marriage.

    After smashing the illusion, you will discover the cruelest truth, and finally learn to compromise with the broken life. Narrow enclosed spaces, simple everyday layouts, suddenly enlarged close-ups, and compositions with overlapping eyes are alternately used in overlapping and separation of mutual love. Perhaps lovers will never be able to grasp the appearance of love, and only build a tower of lies to escape their own cowardice and helplessness. Loneliness brings marriage to a corner full of scars, but we still believe that someone can let us escape from the devil called life. The connection of souls may only be in one corner of the world, but it is worth making us risk our lives.

    Must watch the TV version. The film version had to cut a few scenes, and the plot was interrupted. Full of inner strength. Marianne's desire to recover was very accurate. Jan Malmsjö as Peter is Alexander's father in Fanny and Alexander! deep impression. Bibi Andersson is too old to recognize.

Scenes from a Marriage quotes

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!

  • Marianne: Sometimes you ask such goddamn silly questions.

    Johan: Sorry. Are you angry with me?

    Marianne: I'm not angry, but I'm on the verge of tears. The trouble with me is that I can't get angry. I wish that for once in my life I could really lose my temper, as I sometimes feel I have every right to. I think it would change my life. But that's not the point. You spoke earlier about loneliness. That bit about being strong on your own. I don't believe in your gospel of isolation.I think it's a sign of weakness.

    Johan: What's wrong, Marianne?

    Marianne: It's so... humbling.

    Johan: What's humbling?

    Marianne: I think about you... and I think about myself and about the future. I can't see how you're going to cope without me. Sometimes I think in desperation, "I must look after Johan. He's my responsibility. It's up to me to make sure he's all right. That's the only our lives will be worthwhile."

    Marianne: I don't believe people are strong all on their own. You have to have someone's hand to hold.
