Teddy Bear

"Mr & Mrs. Kramer" was a big hit at the 1980 Oscars, winning five awards including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and four other awards. nominate. Competitors at the time included Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and Al Pacino's "Justice Done," both of whom had made a name for themselves with the first two installments of The Godfather in previous years. The film is influenced by the second-wave feminist movement, and the Kramers' neighbor Margaret is a feminist advocate. The film recounts the difficulties and growth of the Kramers, the pain of a single-parent family and the fatherly love of Ted (Dustin Hoffman).

The second wave of feminism
The earliest feminism and feminist movements are often referred to as the first wave, and those after the 1960s are referred to as the second wave. In some Western countries, where women have achieved near-legal equality, second-wave feminism focused on achieving full social and economic equality. Until the 1960s, contraception and birth control were almost completely restricted, and this was one of the main directions of their efforts. Feminists hope that the development of contraceptives will make it easier and more popular. Many hope this will relieve women of the burden of having unwanted children: because they feel that to achieve complete financial independence from men, they must be in control of reproductive functions. Abortion rights are also a major demand, but this part is more difficult to achieve because of serious social divisions on the issue. Abortion is still a contentious issue in many parts of the world to this day.

Ted used to get lost in his day-to-day work and didn't have time to take care of his family, until he and his wife Joanna (Meryl Streep) learned the meaning of family in the process of getting along with their son Billy. The director spent a lot of time describing the details of how Ted raised his children and supported the family by himself after Joanna left. There are two times in the film that Ted makes breakfast for Billy, the former is rough and clumsy, the latter is methodical. Ted slowly regained his fatherhood and learned the importance of family chores. This is a good movie with big actors and small productions, with meticulous attention to detail and natural emotions.
