Favorite movie so far. The failure of this marriage made them both grow up with each other. Fortunately, they did not miss each other. It is said that love is to see each other's advantages, and a good marriage is to tolerate shortcomings. But the marriage problem reflected in this film is obviously not like this. On the contrary, it is precisely because of each other's too much tolerance and suppressed emotions that the problem is further intensified. In the end, the reason why they fell in love with each other again was not just because they relived their old dreams, but because both of them had changed. The male protagonist is no longer arrogant and confronts mediocrity, and the female protagonist no longer makes herself pitiful like an undignified beggar in her relationship and becomes more independent and confident. This can be reflected in the female protagonist's later "desire dissatisfaction". She can't enjoy sex because she thinks that sex is to satisfy the other party, and she is not happy with it. It can be seen that even a very positive public figure like Bai Yansong will say some superficial things that cannot stand scrutiny. A good marriage needs tolerance. This is actually a plausible nonsense. Any long-term relationship, family love Friendship, colleagues, superiors and subordinates, teacher-student relationships, etc., all need to tolerate shortcomings. That being the case, the sentence itself doesn't make any sense. And this kind of nonsense, I also realized it after watching this movie. A truly beautiful marriage must be owned by two people who are mature and rational enough, have the ability to love and take responsibility.

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.
